“…Bocken et al [80,81] prescribe eight archetypes, which are groupings of transformation elements and solutions contributing to the development of sustainable business models. The focus of these constructs lies both in the more effective use of existing resources (material, energy, waste) and in the opportunity of exploiting servitization to reshape consumption patterns.…”

Abstract:Manufacturing organizations shall recognize sustainability as a business occasion to capitalize on, rather than an undesirable pressing situation. Still, empirical evidence shows that this opportunity is hard to capture and communicate in global strategic decisions, through planning by tactical management, to daily operational activities. This paper systematically reviews the modeling challenges at the crossroad of value and sustainability decisions making, spotlighting methods and tools proposed in literature to link sustainability to customer value creation at strategic, tactical and operational level. While statistical results show that the topic of sustainability and value modeling is trending in literature, findings from content analysis reveal that recent attempts to promote a value-based view in the sustainability discussion remain at a strategic level, with most of the proposed indicators being suited for managerial decision-making. The lack of support at operational level points to the opportunity of cross-pollinating sustainability research with value-centered methodologies originating from the aerospace sector. The Value Driven Design framework is proposed as main hub from which to derive models supporting engineers and technology developers in the identification of win-win-win situations, where sustainable improvements are aligned with business advantages.

“…The business model supports the work of Bocken et al [27][28][29], one of whose main aims is the reduction of CO2 emissions. It makes use of the existing sustainable mobility solutions, but also to build up the necessary network of low-cost charging spots for the upcoming electric vehicle, which in turn impacts on air quality.…”

“…According to Stubbs and Cocklin [26], "organizations will only be sustainable if the dominant neoclassical model of the firm is transformed, rather than supplemented, by social and environmental priorities". One of the most relevant studies investigating sustainability in business models is that of Bocken et al [27][28][29], who affirmed that sustainable business models must be economically sustainable as a prerequisite, while these go beyond delivering economic value and include a consideration of other forms of value for a broader range of stakeholders. Bocken et al developed a "value mapping tool" (Figure 1) in order to "assist in providing a systemic approach to the generation of new business model ideas for sustainability that uses a multi-stakeholder perspective and explores both positive and negative forms of value creation".…”

An Incentive-Based Solution of Sustainable Mobility for Economic Growth and CO2 Emissions Reduction

"Incentivized Sustainable Mobility" is a conceptual business model which involves four stakeholders: citizens, municipalities, commerce and mobility services. A platform named "ISUMO" (Incentivized Sustainable Mobility) provides technological support to this business model, integrating a set of metaservices that unifies the existing ICTs of transportation plus a unique patented QR-based (Quick Response) low-cost charging device for electric vehicles. Essentially, the system tracks and registers citizens' transportation activities (anonymously and voluntarily) and evaluates each through a scoring system while their ecological footprint is calculated. Afterwards, citizens are able to exchange their accumulated points for discount QR coupons, to be redeemed in the associated commerce in order to purchase their products or services. The breakthrough of this business model is that it enhances awareness of sustainable mobility practices, increasing their attractiveness as perceived by the stakeholders with diverse benefits; citizens (and indirectly, the municipalities) initiate a new consumption pattern of "coupons culture" linked to sustainable mobility, the urban economy is stimulated, and the use of mobility services grows, providing a new business opportunity regarding electric vehicles. It is expected that continuous exploration of the model and implementation will contribute to sustainable social and economic development aiming at CO2 emissions reduction, headline targets of the Europe 2020 strategy.
