PublicationThe antecedents of open business models : an exploratory study of incumbent firmsFirms engage increasingly in open business models. While most research has previously focused on typologies or challenges of open business models, their specific antecedents have not been studied so far. We use data from eight open business model cases to explore this question and identify five main antecedents of open business models: (1) business model inconsistency, (2) need to create and capture new value, (3) previous experience with collaboration, (4) open business model patterns, and (5) industry convergence. Based on openness characteristics from the existing literature, we differentiate four basic types of open business models and develop an initial understanding of the relevance of the identified antecedents for each of them. We thereby provide first guidelines for practitioners in choosing the right form of business model openness for their company.

PublicationIntra-firm Networks and Novelty-centered Business ModelsThe business model is referred to as a boundary-spanning activity system, which focuses on a focal firm while at the same time taking into account the value creating and value delivering activities of partners, suppliers and customers. While past research has predominantly focused on value creating and delivering mechanisms of business models we go beyond this transactional dimension and extend business model literature on social relationships between participants, who create novelty-centered business models. In particular, we examined intra-firm networks of business model innovation project teams and their effects on the creation of novelty-centered business model innovations. An analysis of 76 intra-firm network configurations in 20 incumbents within the service and manufacturing industry confirmed our hypotheses. Tie strength between business model innovation project teams and their interacting organizational subunits shows a U-shaped relationship with novelty-centered business model design, whereas network closeness and novelty-centered business models are positively, linear related.Type: conference paper
