The enabling capabilities of Business Model Innovation: Empirical evidence from the Portuguese Textile and Clothing Industry
| Resumo: | Business model innovation (BMI) has increasingly attracted attention by proposing the business model (BM) as a new unit of analysis in the study of innovation. However, there still appears to be a lack of consensus on the definition, dimensionalisation, and enabling capabilities of BMI. This thesis thereby aims to clarify the concept, identify the potential enabling capabilities, and investigate how the selected capabilities enable the firm to renew its BM. To these purposes, we present three essays where we first identify a set of interdependent value-based BMI elements, namely value creation, value proposition, value delivery, value capture, and value network innovation. In our second essay, undertaking a qualitative research and using the data gathered from 11 interviews with CEOs/Co-CEOs of well-established Portuguese textile and clothing (T&C) companies, we arrive at seven capabilities that enable the firm to renew its BM, viz. operational agility, product development, marketing, corporate foresight, organisational learning, R&D, and networking. Finally, in a third essay, we present the results of a multiple case study research that investigates how agility and BM ambidexterity enable BMI. Data analysis of 22 interviews with CEOs, Co-CEOs, and senior managers of three Portuguese T&C companies, coupled with the results of our literature review, led us to propose a circular self-reinforcing model where agility is identified as having an enabling effect on BMI, which in turn leads to BM ambidexterity. BM ambidexterity further promotes the development of agility, thereby further capacitating BMI. Theoretical contributions, managerial implications, research limitations, and future research ideas are discussed in each essay. |
