“…This implies a paradigm shift in corporate sustainability assessment from company assessment (legal corporate units) and supply chains (area of influence) to business model assessment (e.g., Alonso-Martinez et al, 2021;Lüdeke-Freund et al, 2017, 2021Rauter et al, 2019). With this, the construct of the business model, including the various shapes it can take (Lüdeke-Freund et al, 2018, 2022 and the (potential) impacts it enables, becomes the focal unit of analysis (Bhatnagar et al, 2022;Laukkanen and Tura, 2022).…”

“…The market dynamics triggered by young innovative companies are therefore often considerable and usually exhibit high volatility, which must be acknowledged when assessing impacts on customers, the competitive environment, as well as social and environmental impacts (Coffay et al, 2022;Fischer-Kreer and Brettel, 2022). Carrying out impact assessments in young companies therefore requires a dynamic process perspective that considers market dynamics, stakeholder interactions, and the continuous entrepreneurial adaptation to the framework conditions (effectuation) (Bhatnagar et al, 2022;Laukkanen and Tura, 2022).…”

“…Second, business model design and business model evolution are key levers of future sustainability impacts. Bhatnagar et al (2022) underline the relevance of business model design and related design principles in helping new ventures integrate sustainability assessment into business model innovation processes. While it is tempting to think of forecasting of sustainability effects in terms of 'predicting outcomes and impacts', such an interpretation assumes a causal logic, failing to acknowledge the effectuation processes involved in young ventures.…”

“…Thus, business model evolution and transformation need to be considered in a conceptual framework for investigating the sustainability impacts of new ventures. Business model development, which includes aspects such as business model innovation (Bhatnagar et al, 2022) and value proposition design (Laukkanen and Tura, 2022), is mainly considered at the business model level of the framework in Fig. 2.…”

“…For example, Guo et al explored the contribution of the three elements of business model innovation of the enterprise to the performance of digital innovation from a demand-side perspective [ 29 ]. Bockin introduced business model lifecycle assessment, which refers to a quantitative method for evaluating and comparing the environmental performance of the business model [ 30 ].…”

China’s manufacturing industry has been confronted with the issue of extensive development with high input, high consumption, and high emissions for a long time, and its green development is the key to reaching carbon neutrality in China. Under the digital economy, business model innovation is the fundamental means of the green development of manufacturing enterprises. Four representative listed companies in China’s manufacturing were selected as typical cases for the case study. Through open, axial, and selective coding that is based on proceduralized grounded theory, this study profoundly explores business model innovation paths of the manufacturing industry oriented towards green development in the digital economy following the research logic of “green development orientation–business model innovation process–business model innovation result”. Moreover, this study further compares the differences among paths and discusses each path’s effectiveness and applicable conditions. Results show that: (1) Four green business model innovation paths are revealed based on the four green development orientations: efficiency-oriented path, value-oriented path, user-oriented path, and ecology-oriented path. (2) Different enterprises pursue distinct business model innovation paths. The scientific premise for enterprises to opt for the optimal innovation path is the matching of upgrading demands, existing conditions, and path characteristics. Ultimately, the following policy implications are offered: First, promote the green innovation of business models in the manufacturing industry. Second, consider enterprises’ heterogeneity and implement differentiated support policies. This study can serve as theoretical support and decision-making reference for business model innovation and green development in manufacturing enterprises.

Printed electronics (PE) have provided new material and application opportunities for devices and systems as well as new manufacturing routes that all need to be considered for commercialization. This paper introduces a case study with universally relevant manufacturing processes and applications in the PE area, focusing on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) of the Personal Activity Monitor (PAM) device. In the study, the PAM device's most important costs and environmental impacts during the prototype pilot production and device use phases are identified and assessed. Additionally, the potential environmental impacts of post‐consumption scenarios are considered. The LCA results indicate that the roll‐to‐roll (R2R) assembly of electronics and the R2R injection over‐molding are generally the most prominent production process steps affecting the results. From the LCC perspective, the capitial expenditure (CAPEX) contributor is the R2R assembly pilot line, due to its high investment cost and long operating time compare to other production assets. The traditional electronic components are the major operating expenditures (OPEX), especially the microcontroller units (MCUs) and accelerometers, in contrast to the low impact from the printed electronics. There are several advantages to applying LCA and LCC since they provide explanations of the relationships between cost, environmental, design, and manufacturing characteristics.
