“…For example, Boyer et al (1996) have identified four types of enterprises (traditionalists, generalists, high investors and designers) according to their design, manufacturing and administrative AT investment patterns. Similar studies have been carried out on different countries and industries (Diaz et al, 2003, Jonsson, 2000, Chung and Swink, 2009, Bülbül et al, 2013.…”

“…Advanced manufacturing could significantly improve quality and flexibility, and at the same time reduce cost when compared to conventional manufacturing (Bülbül et al, 2013). It has the potential to influence the shape of the future of manufacturing and is essential to improving sustainability (Foresight, 2013).…”

Sustainability has become one of the key factors for long-term business success. Recent research and practice show that business model innovation is a promising approach for improving sustainability in manufacturing firms. To date business models have been examined mostly from the perspectives of value proposition, value capture, value creation and delivery. There is a need for a more comprehensive understanding of value in order to promote sustainability. This paper proposes value uncaptured as a new perspective for sustainable business model innovation, and develops four forms of value uncaptured: value surplus, value absence, value missed and value destroyed. This paper also proposes a framework of using value uncaptured for sustainable business model innovation. This framework has been validated in case studies in six product-service systems firms with advanced manufacturing technologies. The empirical studies identify 26 main sources of value uncaptured throughout the product life cycle. The findings show that (a) the new perspective of value uncaptured can help manufacturing firms understand the negative aspects of their business models; (b) the four forms and 26 sources can assist firms in identifying value uncaptured in a structured way; and (c) the identified value uncaptured can trigger the discovery of new value opportunities which lead to new business models with higher sustainable value. This paper extends the existing studies on business models from the perspectives of value proposition, capture, creation and delivery, to value uncaptured. The proposed framework has helped firms identify value opportunities that trigger the innovation of sustainable business models. Therefore, this paper contributes to both theory and practice in the field of sustainable business models innovation.

“…Sustainability in manufacturing contains that all the processes of manufacturing, such as customer, service, production process activities and so on, are done in a sustainable way. Compared to traditional manufacturing, advanced manufacturing can be considered an important factor in the development of sustainability and enhancing the quality and flexibility of the manufacturing process, while decreasing costs [46]. Technology can be defined as an influential item to achieve sustainability in advanced manufacturing.…”

Nowadays, the horse industry can be considered as an important industry in European countries and has a major role in agricultural industry throughout the world. Although today the diversity of the horse-related companies provides new markets and business opportunities, there are also some sustainable issues which needs to be addressed. Therefore, this study contributes to this research gap by reviewing the concept of sustainability and existing approaches to find sustainable solutions for companies. These sustainable approaches can be applied to products, services and technologies as well as business models, such as the product-service-system (PSS), circular economy (CE) and industrial symbiosis (IS). Although there seems to be a growing understanding of sustainable approaches and their role in sustainable development, there is a lack of research at the empirical level regarding the types of sustainability approaches (i.e., technologies, services, products and business models) that evolve in specific industries. The empirical data in this research have been collected from a cross-section of Finnish horse industry operators to determine how willing companies are to exploit approaches to sustainable solutions, as well as what the existing sustainable solutions are in this industry. The response rate of this study is approximately 24 percent, including 139 received valid responses among the sample of 580 operators.
