Abstract

Purpose

Sustainable business model innovation (SBMI) is a change in the way a firm operates in order to create positive impacts or to reduce negative consequences for the environment and the society. The aim of this paper is to explain what pathways a firm can take when it implements a sustainable business innovation process in line with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Design/methodology/approach

The article starts with the analysis of the existing literature about BMI and SBMI in order to extrapolate the main elements of these topics.

Findings

Thanks to the combined information from academic and nonacademic sources, the study proposes a new framework. It is divided into three sectors: value proposition, value capture delivery and value capture according to the main studies about the business model.

Research limitations/implications

Regarding theoretical implications, this study contributes to developing a theory of both BMI and sustainable innovation. Indeed it helps in the understanding of the dynamic vision about how the business model changes in order to incorporate triple sustainability.

Practical implications

From a practical view, the paper can serve as a guideline for corporate reorganization.

Originality/value

The new framework differs from some recent academic efforts first of all for its theoretical characteristics: BMI construct and not business model concept is the core of the framework. The business model represents the subject of innovation, not its vehicle. Another unique aspect that can be derived from the approach adopted is that it links theoretical with practical sources.

可持续发展的商业模式创新:新框架
可持续商业模式创新(SBMI)是公司为创造积极影响或减少对环境和社会的负面影响而改变经营方式的一种方式。本文的目的是解释企业在实施符合可持续发展目标(SDGs)的可持续商业创新过程时可以采取的途径。本文首先分析了BMI和SBMI的现有文献,以推断这些主题的主要元素。研究结果得益于来自学术和非学术来源的综合信息,该研究提出了一个新的框架。根据对商业模式的主要研究,将其分为价值主张、价值获取交付和价值获取三个部分。在理论意义上,本研究有助于建立BMI和可持续创新的理论体系。事实上,它有助于理解商业模式如何变化的动态视角,以结合三重可持续性。从实践的角度看,本文对企业重组具有一定的指导意义。新框架不同于近年来的一些学术努力,首先在于其理论特征:该框架的核心是BMI结构,而不是商业模式概念。商业模式代表的是创新的主体,而不是创新的载体。从所采用的方法中可以得出的另一个独特方面是,它将理论与实际来源联系起来。
