Researchers increasingly recognize that firms create and capture value not only by improving their offerings and capabilities, but also by rethinking their business models. Much of this research has focused on the individual firm and the challenges of adopting new business models, but comparatively little work has gone into understanding the competitive and welfare context of business-model innovation. This symposium will try to bridge the “inside-out” and “outside-in” approaches by looking not only at the challenges that firms face with their business models, but also the shifting structure of the competitive environment. In line with the theme of a “networked world”, we will explore how the environment shapes and constrains business models, and vice versa, consider welfare implications, and offer prescriptive advice.
