Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to determine how knowledge distance, which encompasses cognitive and geographic distance, influences efficiency-centered and novelty-centered business model reconfiguration (BMR), and the moderating role of tie strength.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors analyze a sample of 132 Tunisian incumbent firms by multiple hierarchical regressions.

Findings

First, the effect of knowledge distance on novelty-centered BMR may differ depending on whether the firm introduces novelty within or outside its organizational boundaries. Specifically, the authors introduce two new types of novelty-centered BMR: intra-novelty and extra-novelty, which respectively take into account whether the reconfigured activities are governed within or outside the focal firm’s boundaries. Second, cognitive distance has an inverted U-shaped effect on efficiency-centered and intra-novelty-centered BMR. Third, tie strength has a moderating role, with varying effects depending on the type of BMR pursued.

Practical implications

This study provides guidance for managers on structuring alliances and collaborations when pursuing BMR. It provides recommendations on partner characteristics, as well as relationship tie strength, that are most beneficial for different types of BMR.

Originality/value

This paper answers the call for research on how knowledge obtained from distant sources can contribute to BMR. Additionally, the paper introduces a previously absent distinction in the BMR literature. The findings suggest that studying the antecedents of BMR should not be limited to the level of design themes but also encompass the level of design elements such as governance.

知识距离与商业模式重组:纽带强度的调节作用
本文旨在确定知识距离(包括认知距离和地理距离)如何影响以效率为中心和以新颖性为中心的商业模式重构(BMR),以及纽带强度的调节作用。研究结果首先,知识距离对以新颖性为中心的商业模式重构的影响可能因企业在其组织边界内还是边界外引入新颖性而有所不同。具体来说,作者引入了两种新的以新颖性为中心的业务流程重组类型:新颖性内部重组和新颖性外部重组,这两种类型分别考虑了重组后的活动是在焦点企业的边界之内还是之外进行管理。其次,认知距离对以效率为中心和以内部新颖性为中心的 BMR 有倒 U 型的影响。第三,纽带强度具有调节作用,不同类型的企业间市场关系会产生不同的影响。 本研究为管理者在构建企业间市场关系时如何构建联盟与合作提供了指导。本文响应了研究从远方获取的知识如何促进生物MR的号召。此外,本文还引入了以前在生物放大效应文献中缺乏的区别。研究结果表明,对生物MR 前因的研究不应局限于设计主题层面,还应包括治理等设计要素层面。

期刊介绍: The subject of innovation is receiving increased interest both from companies because of their increased awareness of the impact of innovation in determining market success and also from the research community. Academics are increasingly beginning to place innovation as a priority area in their research agenda. This impetus has been partly fuelled by the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) who have designated innovation as one of nine research areas in their research initiative schemes.
