Abstract

This paper aims to provide understanding of driving forces for business model innovation (BMI) during the pandemic for small businesses in developing countries, comparing them with identified BMI drivers before the outbreak and evaluating their response to the crisis. The qualitative multiple case study conducted allows the study of BMI within real life and contemporary context. Findings show that small organisations are influenced by internal and external factors towards BMI. Case organisations showed resilience to the crisis by adjusting accordingly to allow uninterrupted operation during lockdown;developing new products, services and processes that would ensure sustained demand during COVID-19 pandemic. The study explores theoretical implications of the findings. Also, lessons from this research could be useful for practitioners from developed and developing countries. Policymakers could benefit from focusing their activities on supporting firms to find novel ways of operating during the pandemic preventing further economic damage and unemployment.
2019冠状病毒病疫情期间发展中国家小企业的商业模式创新:探索驱动因素和BMI结果
本文旨在了解大流行期间发展中国家小企业商业模式创新(BMI)的驱动力,将其与疫情爆发前确定的BMI驱动因素进行比较,并评估其对危机的反应。所进行的定性多案例研究允许在现实生活和当代背景下研究BMI。研究结果表明,小型组织受到内部和外部因素对BMI的影响。病例组织通过相应调整,允许在封锁期间不间断运营,开发新产品、服务和流程,确保在COVID-19大流行期间持续需求,显示了对危机的抵御能力。该研究探讨了这些发现的理论含义。此外,这项研究的经验教训可能对发达国家和发展中国家的从业人员有用。政策制定者可以将其活动重点放在支持企业在大流行期间寻找新的经营方式上,以防止进一步的经济损失和失业。

期刊介绍: Environmental dynamism is a widely-explored construct in organisation theory/strategic management literature. It has growing importance according to the degree of instability/turbulence of such key operating concerns as market/industry conditions as well as more general technological, economic, social, political forces. An organisation''s ability to adapt to changing environmental circumstances is key to survival. IJBE examines how firms behave under different types of environment and the external influences on businesses. It addresses a wide variety of business decisions/processes/activities within the business environment.
