Transition to Digital Distribution Platforms and Business Model Evolution

2019

How do business models evolve when technology-based firms move from physical distribution channels to digital distribution platforms? This is an important question, since digitalization of distribution platforms provides new opportunities to expand the reach and customer base of technology-based firms. Based on an in-depth multi-case study of four Japanese high-tech firms, we seek to expand our understanding of digital transformation and business model literature. Our findings indicate that that through digital transformation, the case firms’ business models evolved toward more constant interaction with the market, in particular through digital platforms. This interaction includes growing a…

The Design Towards a Collaborative Subscription Service : The Case of The Finnish Newspaper Industry

2020

The newspaper industry is challenged with its business models. To stabilize revenues, publishers opted for digital subscriptions for generating additional revenue streams. However, digital subscriptions showcase limited success. News aggregator platforms may promise publishers a pool of paying readers. But platform fees and the loss of customer relationships enact barriers among publishers to join. This study proposes a software prototype based on design science research to address the aforementioned shortcomings by deriving design principles for a collaborative subscription service. Building on the strategic alliance, digital platform and business model literature, this research aims to id…

What Key Aspects Do ICOs Reveal About Their Businesses?

2020

AbstractBlockchain technologies disrupt industries by enabling decentralized and transactional data sharing across a network of untrusted participants, among others. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are a novel form of crowdfunding through which hundreds of blockchain-enabled businesses manage to raise billions of dollars in total only in United States. However, there is a lack of understanding of the ICO phenomenon especially related to the business aspects. In this paper, we describe the results of an exploratory study of 91 ICOs and identify the key business model elements that ICOs reveal in their websites and whitepapers. Furthermore, we also note the immaturity and lack of transparency o…

3D Printing : Challenging Existing Business Models

2016

Technologies labelled as “disruptive” challenge conventional business procedures. The development of 3D printing technology and additive manufacturing (AM) is expected to transform product design and manufacturing. 3D printing technology makes it possible to produce complex and unique physical products from digitally designed CAD models. It is estimated that the effects of 3D printing on business will be diverse and far‐reaching. Hence, it is vital for business owners to observe how 3D printing may impact on business models and business networks, considering also the effects on stakeholders’ value propositions and on value creation. This paper reports on the potential impact of 3D printing …

Exploring the impact of sustainable value proposition on firm performance

2022

Considering the immense potential of sustainable business models in tackling the broader challenge of corporate sustainability, this paper integrates the literature streams on sustainability practices and organizational business models to analyze the performance implications of a firm's sustainable value proposition. Based on the analysis of a large panel dataset across different industries, consistent with the proposed theory, a sustainable value proposition has been found to have a positive impact on a firm's market-based financial performance (namely, Tobin's Q). Yet, this impact turns out to be highly context-dependent. In particular, the findings reveal that a firm's R&D capabilities i…

Kohti yhteisen arvon tuottamista? : K-kauppiaiden ja S-ryhmän marketpäälliköiden näkemyksiä vastuullisuudesta

2012

Tässä työssä tarkastellaan päivittäistavarakaupan vastuullisuutta Porterin ja Kramerin (2011) Shared Value (Suom. yhteisen arvon tuottaminen) -mallin kautta. Tutkimuksen kohteena on kaksi Suomen suurinta päivittäistavaraketjua, Kesko ja S-ryhmä. Tutkimuksessa selvitetään myös sitä, onko liiketoimintamallilla (osakeyhtiö/kauppiasmalli, osuuskunta) merkitystä vastuullisuuden näkökulmasta. K-kauppiaiden ja S-ryhmän marketpäälliköiden näkemyksiä vastuullisuudesta tarkastellaan käyttäen apuna yhteisen arvon tuottamisen mallissa esitettyä kolmea strategista lähestymistapaa. Mallin perusajatuksena on yhdistää yrityksen taloudellinen menestys yhteisölliseen kehitykseen. Kirjallisuuden perusteella v…

The Design Towards a News Aggregator Subscription Service: Results from An Online Experiment

2021

The newspaper industry is on a quest to discover sustainable business models. Digital subscriptions are stable revenue generators for most publishers. That being said, smaller publishers face challenges. By not having the same resource base to offset costs compared to larger ones, small publishers are in a constant state of financial unpredictability. Another persistent problem among them is the high churn rate of subscriptions (i.e., the cancelation rate), which suggests a value misalignment between readers and service. New services like news aggregators may promise publishers a large pool of paying readers, as readers have access to diverse content by different publishers and are willing …

Digitalization and Evolution of Business Model Pathways Among Japanese Software SMEs

2019

This chapter analyzes five Japanese software small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to better understand how their decision-making pathways inside the organization evolve as they develop new business models. Event-state mapping method was applied to analyze the business model pathways of the case firms. We found that once triggered, pathways included various actors and a series of steps until an outcome, the new business model, was reached. The findings indicate that the decision pathways to new models became increasingly complex over the years and the number of individuals and teams involved increases as business model evolved further. peerReviewed
