“…The prominence of the academic sphere in entrepreneurship and technological innovation can also be seen when creating innovative productive arrangements and new managerial activities, as well as new business models (Schiavi & Behr, 2018). Such progress indicates a disruptive process, whose study and analysis can help understanding and accepting the OSH model, as it has happened in other technologies and arrangements (Sainio, 2004;Pereira, Imbrizi, Freitas, & Alvarenga, 2015). Specially, in these cases, the effective partnerships between public universities and the private sector have shown considerable benefits (Kampker, Gerdes, & Schuh, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to argue in favor of the open hardware philosophy (open-source hardware – OSH) as a technological innovation and academic entrepreneurshipmodel in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach This argument is based on three pillars. The first one refers to a bibliographic review of theoretical frameworks related to academic entrepreneurship and technological innovation to emphasize the disruptive innovation capacity of academia. Second, a few elements related to the Brazilian political, economic and structural scenario, which entail a (more) favorable environment to technological innovation and academic entrepreneurship, is presented. Finally, concepts related to OSH and its business model are approached to demonstrate the facilitating effect toward the whole process. Findings As a result of the argument made herein, it is possible to perceive the viability of the OSH model in terms of entrepreneurship and technological innovation in the academic sphere, and to perceive its benefits before social and economic needs in areas such as health and education. Research limitations/implications There are no empirical or quantifiable data in the literature that enable comparison between OSH and traditional technological innovation models. Originality/value The considerations on the philosophical value of OSH and its business models are scarcely explored in international literature. As far as we know, relating OSH to technological innovation entrepreneurship in the academic sphere, as well as its singularities in Brazil regarding the innovation national system and social and economic demands, is a unique approach in literature.

“…However, in the last two decades, studies on business models have intensified (Zott et al, 2011) and taken different directions (Taran, Nielsen, Montemari, Thonsen, & Paolone, 2016), including working on innovation in business models, being the focus of study of many academics and managers (Chesbrough, 2010;Simmons, Palmer, & Truong, 2013;Teece, 2010). This attention to the innovation of business models is a direct reaction to the increasing competitiveness and the constant changes in the market and consumer demands (Pereira, Imbrizi, Freitas, Alvarenga, 2015). This way, products, services, and processes with increasingly short life cycles contribute to innovations not only in relation to those elements, but also in relation to business models (Gassmann, Frankenberger, Csik, 2013;Pacheco, Klein, & Righi, 2016).…”

The goal is to identify the characteristics of innovative business models that use blockchain technology. Through a qualitative and descriptive research, we sought, in the Crunshbase database, the companies that had in their activity description the word Blockchain, obtaining a total of 810 companies. The data obtained were tabulated in Excel spreadsheet and we carried out a collection of additional information on the websites of the organizations. The process of data analysis used the technique of document analysis and content analysis. The results allowed us to identify that most organizations' foundation date from 2014 and are located in North America. Regarding the area of expertise of these organizations, it can be observed that most of them belong to financial and technology areas. Moreover, 10 companies were already in operation before the creation of blockchain technology, pointing out the characteristic of a disruptive technology, which is the readjustment of established companies. Finally, we highlight the contributions related to the field, by identifying the main areas of business that use blockchain technology, as well as revealing important descriptions about these companies. In addition to contributions to the theory, by presenting empirical evidences of active business with this technology and its contributions to the various areas.
