What Makes Value Propositions Distinct and Valuable to New Companies Committed to Scale Rapidly?

Abstract: We focus in this paper on value propositions for external stakeholders created by new companies that are committed to scale, that is, to growing the amounts they are worth rapidly. For example, a company that grows its value from $0 to $1 billion in less than ten years is a company that scaled. Scaling company value is the guiding principle that these focal companies use to manage their internal affairs, as well as their interactions with external stakeholders. For these new companies, the value propositions t… Show more

“…Second, most of the extant research examines the context of established companies. However, the reality faced by new companies committed to scale is quite different because of the challenges they face in engaging with external resource owners to access, combine, deploy and align internal and external resources, they need to operate across borders, innovate relentlessly, adopt emerging artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies as part of their scaling mechanisms, and negotiate with investors to enable the execution of capital investment programs that could help them meeting their scaling objectives (Bailetti et al, 2020). Thus, new scaling companies need to adopt an explicit multiple stakeholder perspective on VP development and explore how AI resources and digital capabilities can help them enhance the scaling potential of their VPs.…”

“…Value proposition (VP) development has become the subject of growing research interest in the last 20 years. The number of research studies has grown especially in the last 5 years, including several recent review papers summarizing key developments and identifying directions of future research (Goldring, 2017;Eggert et al, 2018;Bailetti et al, 2020;Payne et al, 2020). In addition, the VP concept has successfully joined the vocabulary of business practitioners and entrepreneurs.…”

“…However, the reality faced by new companies committed to scaling is quite different. In addition to the challenges that such companies face in engaging with external resource owners to access, combine, deploy, and align internal and external resources, they need to operate across borders, innovate relentlessly, and be ready to adopt emerging artificial intelligence (AI), and other digital technologies as part of their scaling mechanisms, as well as negotiate with investors to enable the execution of capital investment programs that could help them meet their scaling objectives (Bailetti et al, 2020). Thus, new companies that wish to scale early and rapidly need to acquire VP development capabilities that go beyond those required by companies with moderate growth objectives.…”

“…For instance, there can be expectations to create products customers want, increase profits to maximise investor returns, produce what the co-founders think the market needs, and ensure business activities promote sustainability (Gladwin et al, 1995;Chesbrough & Rosenbloom, 2002;Liu et al, 2015;Loureiro et al, 2020). To avoid stifling tension between these seemingly opposing needs, a firm needs to create propositions that align stakeholder needs and expectations (Ballantyne et al, 2011;Bailetti et al, 2020). This alignment is even more crucial for new technology ventures, which operate in a highly dynamic environment, and often lack the resources and capabilities needed to manage the VP development and alignment process (Scherer et al, 2013).…”
