When regulatory changes become a driver for business model innovation

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of how an airport’s business model (BM) has been innovated. In particular, it considers a BM innovation owing to an exogenous driver, i.e. a change in the legislative environment. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents an in-depth case study. It analyses the case of an Italian regional airport that has been renewed by changes in the National Plan of Transport. Findings The paper extends previous research on BM and air transport industry in two ways. First, the authors contribute to Gillen’s (2011) framework, via introducing a new kind of ownership/governance structure, that of long-term concession, characterized by the concession of the comprehensive management to a private company for 30 years. Second, the authors look at how a BM has been implemented and used as a manipulating device over the two phases of the airport development, namely, incubation and generation. Originality/value The paper provides an in-depth case study on an airport BM innovation.

The role of flexibility and complexity in response to regulatory change: A case study of innovation in a major Danish financial institution

“…Changes in regulations influence dynamic capabilities (Pettus et al, 2009). Regulations can be a driver of business model innovation (Berti and Casprini, 2018). Taylor et al (2005) claim that government regulation can stimulate market innovation:…”

Sustainable business model archetypes for the electric vehicle battery second use industry: Towards a conceptual framework

“…A variable like technological innovations (Guo et al, 2017), legislative environment (Berti and Casprini, 2018), collaborations (Chesbrough and Crowther, 2006;) can leap BMI. The BMI is influenced by the legislative environment, such as Berti and Casprini (2018) to provide an example of how BM of the airport is innovated by legislative force. He concluded that the legislative environment would be an exogenous driver for BMI.…”

Regulatory change impact on technology and associated mitigation capabilities

“…Regulatory change can accelerate significant technological and product innovation (Dyerson and Pilkington 2000;Pilkington 1998), and even drive business model innovation (Berti and Casprini 2018). An industry where regulations and regulatory change play a significant role is the financial services industry (Jacobides and Winter 2010).…”
