Business Model Innovation

Currently, there is an unprecedented demand for publications on new avenues for innovating business models, particularly in response to grand challenges, disruption, digitalization, and the environmental and social issues of our times. Existing literature on business models and business model innovation (BMI) often focuses on traditional frameworks and methods, failing to fully explore the emerging opportunities and transformative trends that are shaping the future of BMI.This open access book aims to address this gap by offering a theory-based textbook that delves into the fresh avenues of business model innovation. It is designed for an international audience, including universities and learning institutions, their faculty and students, as well as managers of both large and medium-sized enterprises.One of the primary contributions of this work is to introduce new models and theories in the realm of business model innovation, thereby enriching the understanding of how organizations, companies, and networks can forge, implement, and leverage BMI moving forward. Additionally, the book aims to present business model innovation across various contexts, acknowledging that BMI can be approached and integrated in numerous ways, each with its own set of goals, benefits, and outcomes, depending on the particular situation. Lastly, a significant focus of the book is to motivate and empower startups, and established corporations to embrace new opportunities for BMI and to thrive by utilizing networks and platforms to drive future innovations in business models.
