Business Model Innovation: From Understanding the Process to Tracking the ChangeCopenhagen Business School
Slides from my PhD defense at Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University, presented on 6 January 2017.
The dissertation aims to inform and improve the management’s strategizing activities, when the intended business development initiatives may augment the existing business model:
- Which trajectories of business model change can management consider taking?
- How can changes in the (other firm’s) business model be tracked via public data sources?
- How can the process of business model innovation be conceptualized? What are the major factors inhibiting and facilitating the process?
- How can management track the progress of their own firm’s evolution towards a new business model?

The present study aims to examine the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on business performance of 30 horticulture related firms in Kashmir. The entrepreneurial orientation is measured by five dimensions identified from the literature on the subject and financial performance; a dependent variable, is treated as a measurement for business performance. The correlation and regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and business performance of the sampled firms.

Management Analysis and Innovation Management Modelijtsrd
Today innovation has become a matter of survival for you to organize them. Those who do not seek to innovate in their products or services are destined to lose their market share or even go bankrupt. Aware of this condition, organizations begin to use the methodology called Lean Startup, created primarily for startups. However, it has been observed that organizations that try to use this methodology face a kind of disorganization and create something called innovation theatres , where great projects are idealized, but it is not possible to deliver any substantive change to a product or service. To reverse this scenario, Steve Blank indicates the use of two corporate strategies in conjunction with the Lean Startup methodology in order to accelerate the innovation process in mature companies, what he calls the model of Lean Innovation Management. The objective of this article, besides pointing out what is Lean Management, is to argue that the adoption of this model in organizations will only be successful if the agile methodologies which support it are not considered just an innovation in the process of software development and related services in companies, but a new and competitive management strategy for organizations.

Financial Statements Analysis: Wealth Creation and Wealth Maximisation at Tel...iosrjce
Information technology revolution has gained popularity with companies’ success depending
virtually on the exchange of information. As a result, it has brought to consideration the need to create and
sustain technologies through which information can be transmitted and received, and the telecommunication
industry has been a major development. The research paper seeks to analyse the financial statements of a
telecom company to determine whether the company created wealth and suggesting ways to improve wealth
creation. Factors such as operational results, key economic variables and customer satisfaction were explored.
A questionnaire survey was employed to collect primary data. The questionnaires were distributed by hand and
some were emailed. Results of the survey were reported and customer suggestions and concerns were noted.
Secondary data was obtained from the financial statements as well as operational reviews available on the
website. Data was analysed and it was discovered that the company has revolved significantly and its
performance has improved over the years. However, it was highlighted that a lot still needs to be done.
Therefore recommendations to pave way for future studies have been suggested.

Abstract:
Although project management, benefits management, change management, and transformation management are
everyday terms in many organizations, projects still experience high failure rates. Business transformation projects in
particular are prone to fail because they affect multiple enterprise architecture layers, involve many stakeholders, last
several years, and tie up considerable amounts of corporate capital. To handle their complexity, scholars recommend
structuring business transformation projects into portfolios of interdependent, yet smaller and, thus, manageable
projects. So far, little guidance on how to do so exists. To share first-hand experience and stimulate research, we
present and reflect on a project conducted with Infineon Technologies in which we co-developed Infineon’s finance IT
roadmap. The finance IT roadmap served as the foundation for transforming Infineon’s finance IT setup to tackle
future challenges of financial management in the semiconductor industry from an integrated business, process, and IT
perspective.

6 How to Structure Business Transformation Projects: The Case of Infineon’s Finance IT Roadmap
Volume 17 Issue 2 Paper 2
1 Introduction
Business transformation is about fundamental change (Rouse, 2005). Centering around the orchestrated
redesign of an organization’s genetic architecture, business transformation projects involve many
stakeholder groups, affect multiple layers of the enterprise architecture, last several years, and tie up
considerable amounts of corporate capital (Abraham, Aier, & Winter, 2015; Morgan & Page, 2008;
Safrudin, Rosemann, Recker, & Genrich, 2014). Moreover, despite their enormous potential impact on
corporate success, business transformation projects are prone to fail (Dehning, Richardson, & Zmud,
2003; Nelson & Morris, 2014). For instance, The Standish Group (2013) classifies 38 percent of large-
scale projects (i.e., projects with a labor content greater than US$10 million) as failures.
Against this backdrop, researchers have investigated business transformation from different angles for
years. From a descriptive perspective, Safrudin et al. (2014) crafted a typology of business transformat ...

Implementation of Shared Service Centre on Financial Performance of Publicly ...s071185s
Cost reduction and efficiency are one of the company’s primary motives in implementing the shared service center, an internal outsourcing business model that centralizes back-office support functions for operating business units. This research aims to examine the effect of introducing the shared service center on productivity, as experienced by publicly listed Malaysian companies. This research has analyzed, using comparative techniques, whether substantial changes in cost structure, return on investment, efficiency, productivity, competitiveness, and profitability have occurred due to developing shared service centers. The relationship between these financial performance metrics is evaluated for five years using regression methods. Secondary data has been collected from financial reports and other publicly accessible documents such as business gadgets. The study also aims to recognize the advantages of shared service center implementation for financial results. The study has clearly indicated that SSC implementation is not always for the better, however. The increasing cost structure ratio indicates that the growth of total revenue due to SSC implementation is not as fast as the growth of operating expenses. Asset turnover is observed to be generally decreasing after SSC implementation. The graphical trending has rejected the claim that all the variables or financial performance indicators have improved after establishing SSC. The results of the ordinary least squares regression method have corroborated 4 out of 5 hypotheses – only the asset turnover ratio has revealed a relationship that is different from what has been predicted. The payback period can be included as an additional variable or determinant to further corroborate the time-specific benefits regarding future research

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

›EXAMPLE
›Consider a case of a Danish high-growth firm, TriforkA/S.
›Established in 1996 and went public in 2007.
›Current offerings are software development, conferences, trainings and courses, and consulting to diverse private and public sector organizations.
›In 2006-2012 revenues and EBITDA were increasing at a CAGR in excess of 25%.
›Did the firm change its business modelover this time? How exactly? Why?
›PROBLEM WITH AMOUNT OF DATA
›From late 2007 till early 2014 the firm was listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange (NASDAQ OMX) and has filed:
›an IPO prospectus,
›7 annual reports,
›17 quarterly and half-year reports,
›146 news announcements.

HOW CAN WE IDENTIFY A PATTERNIN BUSINESS MODEL CHANGE?
›PROBLEM WITH LITERATURE
›Business model innovation represents an effective vehicle for organizational transformation and renewal (Demil& Lecocq2010), facilitates technology commercialization (Chesbrough 2010; Gambardella & McGahan2010), and improves firm performance (Teece2010; Zott& Amit 2008).
›Yet studying the phenomenon of business model change is not straightforward. Regrettably, not much progress has been made in the development of applicable methods* ever since the first calls were voiced (Pateli& Giaglis2004).
›The problem we came to realize is thatnot a single concrete technique for detecting business model change patternshas been described in a dedicated method paper.
›The approaches introduced in empirical papers are not sufficiently explicit, leaving researchers with poor grounds for replication or for follow-up studies.
›This unfortunate state of affairs leaves a gap in the literature and thus tends to block further development of the field. SLIDE 3
* We have conducted a systematic search for journal articles in the Thompson Reuters ISI Web of Knowledge database. We used keywords “business model” in combination with “innovation”, “change”, “dynamics”, “renewal”, or “evolution” in the title of the paper. The query returned 88 records, of which 43 papers indeed focused on the process of change from one business model to another in the context of for-profit established firms.

TECHNIQUE (1/7): CHOOSE BUSINESS MODEL DEFINITION
›AMIT & ZOTT
›The business model describes the system of interdependent activitiesthat are performed by the firm and by its partners and the mechanisms that link these activities to each other. (Zott& Amit 2010)
›A business model is a bundle of specific activities—an activity system—conducted to satisfy the perceived needs of the market [content], along with the specification of which parties (a company or its partners) conduct which activities [governance], and how these activities are linked to each other [structure]. (Amit & Zott2012)
›TEECE
›The essence of a business model is that it crystallizes customer needs and ability to pay, defines the manner by which the business enterprise responds to and delivers value to customers, entices customers to payfor value, and converts those payments to profit through the proper design and operation of the various elements of the value chain. (Teece2010)
›DEMIL & LECOCQ
›Further elaborating on the Penrosianfirm view, we assume that a BM can be described with three core components: its resourcesand competences, its organizational structureand its propositions for value delivery. (Demil& Lecocq2010)
›OSTERWALDER
›A business model is a conceptual tool that contains a set of elements and their relationships and allows expressing the business logic of a specific firm. It is a description of the value a company offersto one or several segments of customers and of the architecture of the firm and its networkof partners for creating, marketing, and delivering this value and relationship capital, to generate profitable and sustainable revenue streams.

The company has mobilized resources to integrate and renew its internal systems in the finance and project management area.” (Half-Year Report ‘08)

TECHNIQUE (5/7): CLASSIFY ACC/ TO CHANGE TYPES
›Cavalcante, Kesting & Ulhøi (2011)
›We distinguish between four different types of business model change: (1) business model creation; (2) business model extension; (3) business model revision; (4) business model termination.
›Von Krogh & Cusumano(2001)
›Duplicationstarts with a coherent vision of products, technologies and customer segments. But unlike scaling, the vision must include goals for geographical expansion. The vision of IKEA founder IngvardKampradwas to go beyond Sweden and democratize the furniture industry throughout Europe by making new products affordable to the masses.
›Winter & Szulanski(2001)
›Replication, a familiar phenomenon sometimes referred to as the "McDonalds approach," entails the creation and operation of a large number of similar outlets that deliver a product or perform a service.

CONTRIBUTION
›Our contribution to the development of the business models literature is threefold:
›First, based on a systematic literature review we analyze existing methods for studying and measuring business model changes.
›Second, we propose a new technique for systematic qualitative processing of information on business model changes for pattern detection.
›Third, we advocate for the use of secondary data such as firms’ reports as a sufficient data source for use with this technique.

IMPLICATIONS
›RESEARCH
›The data processed in this manner can be used in research e.g.:
›to study patterns of business model change longitudinally and retrospectively by using existing reports of firms;
›to link patterns of change to performance of firms (further development required).
›PRACTICE
›…and in practice e.g.:
›to understand strategic development trajectories of competitors, partners, suppliers, customers;
›to support investment decisions in M&A deals by understanding the strategic fit between the acquiring and the target firm, or in stock trading.
