Business Models

<p>The growing body of research on business models draws upon a range of sub-disciplines including strategic management entrepreneurship organization studies and management accounting.</p><p>Business Models: A Research Overview provides a research map for business scholars incorporating theoretical and applied perspectives. It develops the field of business model research by offering a critique of the field as it has developed to date and provides a guide for future research and theorization. The research performed as a basis for this book improves and extends prior subjective and less-documented work by using a scientific approach to identifying impactful research. The book argues that business model research is a mature field and that future research should focus on performative and ecosystem-based contributions with the timely identification of four distinct stages of business model research. The study here provokes a new set of research questions which are addressed in the concluding passages of Chapters 5–8 as a point of departure for those researching business models.</p><p></p><p>This book is essential primary reading for scholars and practitioners of business models who are looking to seek out new knowledge and build new perspectives.</p>
