“…Shakeel et al ( 2020 ) discussed the conceptual and theoretical rationality of the components of the SBMI framework from the qualitative perspective. Moreover, an overview following the antecedents-phenomenon-consequences framework and the numerous expressions of SBMI were derived (Sinkovics et al 2021 ). The evolution of concepts and the theoretical and empirical implications of the findings were explored (Molina-Castillo et al 2021 ).…”

“…The pressures from these policies and regulations will make corporations need to seek organizational legitimacy in the system in which they are located. In addition, incentive policies are essential factors in encouraging corporations to carry out SBMI activities (Sinkovics et al 2021 ). Meanwhile, the development of disruptive technologies is another powerful driver of SBMI (Yovanof and Hazapis 2008 ).…”

Sustainable business model innovation literature: a bibliometrics analysis

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Sustainable business model innovation (SBMI) has received growing attention since it can provide sustainable competitive advantages for corporations under a dynamic external environment. This paper aims to understand the current situations and progress of SBMI research by conducting a bibliometric study of the existing literature. By collecting data from Web of Science and using bibliometric tools, the basic characteristics of SBMI research are first presented to show the productivity and citations of publications utilizing recognized bibliometric indicators. Then, the cooperation networks among countries/regions, institutions, and authors are drawn to determine their collaborative relationships. Furthermore, keyword analysis is presented to explore the evolution of the hotspots and themes of SBMI research through co-occurrence analysis, burst detection analysis, and thematic evolution analysis. Finally, we integrate the antecedents-decisions-outcomes framework for SBMI research. The findings in this study indicate that the development of SBMI research is positive and that greater collaboration among institutions and authors is required to explore the internal drivers and design SBMI as well as other topics to be developed.

“…However, all studies in Table 1 report the need for greater clarity on processes related to SBMI. Sinkovics et al [46] highlight the need to identify the conditions that promote SBMI design and implementation. For Shakeel et al [20], SBMI needs further studies that explore its implementation and experimentation in different contexts.…”

Towards Systematic Sustainable Business Model Innovation: What Can We Learn from Business Model Innovation

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This research aims to understand how sustainable business model innovation (SBMI) can learn from business model innovation. For this, first, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the relationships between business model innovation and SBMI literature. After this, we performed a systematic literature review to create a comprehensive framework for managing SBMI. The bibliometric analysis showed that the SBMI stream grew quickly and significantly in recent years, evolving into a separated new research stream, which does not leverage recent business model innovation advancements. Through the performed analyses, we were able to discuss critical gaps in the SBMI literature and shed light on possible pathways to solve these gaps through lessons learned from business model innovation. We depicted five critical gaps for managing SBMI; (1) the need to understand the sustainable business model as a wicked problem, in which SBMI leads to “better than before” solutions calling for systematic SBMI, (2) the poor definition of distinctive dimensions of dynamic capabilities for SBMI, (3) the lack of studies exploring the role of open innovation for improving the SBMI process, (4) the lack of tools supporting SBMI implementation and (5) the need to explore game-changing, competitive advantages of SBMI. The findings of this study contribute to guiding future research on SBMI, which can be a basis for further efforts towards sustainable development.

Sustainability-Oriented Business Model Evaluation—A Literature Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Since the need of sustainable development is indisputable, companies are forced to strive for resources, processes, and products that are sustainable. Thus, their business models as the main representation of their activities should be designed in an ecologically, economically, and socially beneficial way. However, designing and developing sustainable business models is closely linked to their evaluation. Sustainable business model evaluation as a vital part of business model development has been addressed in literature in the past with increasing frequency. As a consequence, the plethora of different approaches of sustainability-oriented business model evaluation calls for a systematic literature review. Thus, in this study, we reviewed existing articles on sustainability-oriented business model evaluation and identified four main categories of evaluation methods: single indicators (I), indicator system/framework (II), simulation-based evaluation (III), and multi criteria decision-making (IV). By analyzing and structuring the proposed approaches, their benefits and limitations are revealed, pointing out gaps and future research needs for successfully designing and evaluating business models today and in the future.
