Turning a business idea into a real business through an entrepreneurial learning approach based on dynamic start-up business model simulators

2017

In this paper we argue that the use of System Dynamics modelling applied to Business Model design and representation may result in an entrepreneurial learning approach to support potential entrepreneurs in exploring and learn how a business operates and reacts according to alternative strategic choices. As such, a Dynamic Business Modelling approach provides useful insights to start-up entrepreneurs learning processes by capturing and explaining how critical Business Model elements interact to produce enduring competitive advantages over time.

Conceptualizing Innovative Business Planning Frameworks to Improving New Venture Strategy Communication and Performance. A Preliminary Analysis of th…

2017

Business planning is a fundamental activity that start-up entrepreneurs are called to carry out in order to attract new investors, business angels, and venture capitalists, to subsidize a new business idea. The key-tool universally used to communicate a new venture strategy to these players, as well as to other stakeholders, is the business plan, i.e. a framework including the business idea description, the product(s), the market sector(s), the core-assets, the budget, the business sustainability and profitability, and so on. As such, a major success factor for drawing up a business plan is the capability to clearly and synthetically communicate the business strategy. Among the others, one …

Il dynamic business modelling per lo sviluppo e la prevenzione delle crisi delle piattaforme multi-sided

2021

Over the last few decades, the sharing economy diffusion has implemented continu- ous changes in business model opportunities with multi-sided platforms (MSPs). MSPs are digital exchange platforms that connect unmatched demand and supply side participants through internet technology. Success examples of such businesses are Airbnb, Amazon, Uber, and Just Eat. How- ever, in many cases, such initiatives also experience high growth followed by a rapid failure. Due to MSPs peculiar and complex characteristics, this study suggests adopt- ing the dynamic business modeling (DBM) perspective. The DBM aims to make explicit reinforcing and balancing cause-and-effect relationships among strategic re- s…

Processi di accumulazione e degrado del “capitale intellettuale” nel governo dello sviluppo aziendale Una prospettiva basata sulla dinamica delle ris…

Sempre più spesso oggi le fonti del vantaggio competitivo dell’impresa non risiedono in singoli fattori della produzione (sebbene disponibili in quantità limitata, difficilmente imitabili o sostituibili da parte dei concorrenti), quanto piuttosto nella capacità di saper individuare e mantenere un opportuno dimensionamento quali-quantitativo di risorse strategiche tangibili e intangibili. Tra queste ultime, il “capitale intellettuale” assume una particolare rilevanza. Per comprendere i meccanismi sottostanti all’acquisizione di un vantaggio competitivo sostenibile è necessario cogliere i processi dinamici di accumulazione e degrado del “capitale intellettuale” e delle altre risorse strategic…

Implementing a sustainable CSR Strategy through a System Dynamics Perspective: evidences from a Colombian case-study

2009

During last decades, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies received a growing attention from both businesses and non profit organisations. However, very often organisations fail to correctly implement a successful CSR strategy. Through the analysis of a case-study, this paper tries to demonstrates how a CSR strategy could fail in the long term if a open-loop logic is adopted. On the contrary, by making explicit the feedback loops structure underlying a CSR strategy, the system dynamics approach is likely to better support decision makers in implementing effective CSR strategies able to foster sustainable long term growth. After discussing the main benefits and limits of the CSR c…

DESIGNING OUTCOME-BASED PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS THROUGH SYSTEM DYNAMICS MODELLING TO FRAME CORRUPTION BEHAVIOUR IN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT

Corruption is one of the most significant problems facing Serbia. While there are some signs that corruption may have become less rampant in recent years, available evidence suggests that corruption levels are still high while trust in key institutions is low (European Commission, 2014). This phenomenon is ubiquitous and has serious consequences on a country’s public welfare. Numerous conducted studies have mainly focused on specific characteristics such as economic issues, legal issues, social propositions, impact on national development, and about economic policy. The rationale of this research is to concentrate on a specific Anti-Hail Public Service provider in Serbia by not only explori…
