Questions related to Business Models
Dear colleagues
I am desperately looking for free tools available for creating research business models. I have explored a few options, but most of them come with a hefty price tag. If anyone has any recommendations or suggestions for free tools that can assist in creating research business models, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Some days ago I received a review proposal from PLOS ONE...comments required within 10 days. Is this the standard time they expect for a proper review?
I've a lot of doubts...anyway..here below what I wrote when I decided to decline:
'Well, the paper totally fits in my research field but a review expected within 10 days is not affordable at all, included the fact that I would do it for free while you get money from authors. Your open access business model relies on free work of reviewers. I think it is not fair.'
What is your opinion?
What are the key determinants of the possibility of building new high-tech microchip manufacturing companies?
What are the key determinants of the possibility of building new high-tech microchip manufacturing companies in a developing country where various new technologies are being developed but to date there are no high-tech chip manufacturing companies?
What type, what category of capital should a developing country have in order to be able to build its, nationally, a kind of new 'Silicon Valley', in which companies developing new technologies and basing their business models on new, highly advanced ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0 will function effectively?
Among the various factors of technological and developmental advantage of individual countries in terms of international comparisons, the possession of advanced technologies, including biotechnology, green energy technologies but also new ICT information technologies and technologies typical of the current fourth technological revolution, Industry 4.0 technologies, stands out. The possession of these technologies determines the possibilities for the development of many industries, including the manufacture of products that are increasingly produced as highly technological products equipped with, for example, microchips.
Microchips are no longer used only in computers, laptops, PDAs, tablets, smartphones, supercomputers built in research centres and further types of highly technological products, but also in white goods, consumer electronics, TV, motor vehicles, including cars, aircraft, military equipment, etc. and, more recently, in systems based on artificial intelligence being built and developed. Microchip production is associated with certain determinants for the development of other economic sectors as well. The production of microchips is a highly energy-intensive process. Therefore, it is also necessary to develop new, renewable and emission-free energy sources to supply electricity to, among other things, microchip production processes.
Currently, there are aspirations and research in many countries to identify opportunities for the development of advanced ICT and/or to create the conditions for the creation of a kind of next "Silicon Valley", including microchip manufacturing companies. As in the case of other industries, so in the case of new ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0, the key factors determining the possibility of building new companies producing advanced microchips include such basic categories of capital as financial capital, possession of research and development centres, science centres generating also the intellectual capital of the staff of employees, possession of modern lines and machine parks produced mainly by domestic industries, generating technological and production capital, with which industrial plants and companies included in technological sectors are equipped. However, this is not all that is required to build a thriving sort of new, next "Silicon Valley" and to be able to be at the forefront of the new ICT information technologies, Prezmysł 4.0, including the production of highly technological microchips. Perhaps among the mentioned key determinants of the development of technology companies are new specific business models, new styles of management, personnel management and motivation to create technological innovations. In addition, perhaps the key factors determining the development of technology companies should also include a highly economically efficient mix of flexible pro-development economic policies, including policies to support the development of science, scientific research, the development of research and development centres, policies to develop innovation; systemically developed highly efficient corruption-free financial support programmes from the state's public finance system; a friendly economic policy for the development of innovative startups; modern ownership models and shareholding structures of technology companies, research institutes and research and development centres, etc.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
What type, what category of capital should a developing country have in order to be able to build its, nationally, a kind of new "Silicon Valley" in which companies developing new technologies and basing their business models on new, highly advanced ICT information technologies and Industry 4.0 will function effectively?
What are the key factors determining the feasibility of building new modern microchip manufacturing companies in a developing country where various new technologies are being developed but modern microchip manufacturing companies do not exist to date?
What are the key determinants of the possibility of building new high-tech microchip manufacturing companies?
What are the key determinants of the development of highly technological industries?

Sustainability transitions and business models for sustainability to offer new insights into how business model innovation may act as a catalyst for system-wide sustainability transitions.
Hello,
i don't quite understand what difference there is between the term business logic and business model. Are they used synonymously? I know of only one source that says a business model is a business logic when the supply, value creation, marketing and revenue are aligned from a theoretical perspective. Accordingly, one speaks of supply logic, value creation logic, marketing logic and revenue logic.
Is this correct?
How does business model of a firm influence its organizational structure? Any pointers are highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Does the business model get defined based on the structure? I doubt it, but just checking for any exceptions.
What kind of scientific research dominate in the field of Business Intelligence?
What are the important topics in the field: Business Intelligence?
Business entity management processes are more and more often supported by computerized Business Intelligence platforms that facilitate multi-criteria analysis and reporting.
Probably in the future, the business analyst will be supported by artificial intelligence.
It would be a great advance in the field of automation and objectification of multi-criteria economic analyzes of business entities.
Complex, multi-criteria analyzes regarding the verification of large companies' operations require aggregation and analytical processing of large data sets in Big Data database systems.
However, in what direction will technological progress be realized in this field?
In the future, as part of the progressing computerization of analytical processes, it will be possible to implement artificial intelligence to the processes of analyzing large collections of information collected in Big Data database systems.
Apparently, we are now living in the era of the fourth technological revolution, known as Industry 4.0.
The previous three technological revolutions:
1. The industrial revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, determined mainly by the industrial application of the invention of a steam engine.
2. Electricity era of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century.
3. The IT revolution of the second half of the twentieth century determined by computerization, the widespread use of the Internet and the beginning of the development of robotization.
The current fourth technological revelation, known as Industry 4.0, is motivated by the development of the following factors:
- artificial intelligence,
- cloud computing,
- machine learning,
- Big Data database technologies,
- Internet of Things.
On the basis of the development of these IT instruments and technologies, business analytics of companies such as Business Intelligence and the above-mentioned areas have been dynamically developing in recent years.
In view of the above, I turn to you with the following question: In what direction will the current technological revolution, known as Industry 4.0, develop?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Edupreneurship is the connection between digital education, teacher training and entrepreneurship. When teachers begin to develop their own educational practice with the mindset and methods of an entrepreneur, new forms of teaching will emerge. These teaching innovations will leave the classroom and lead to new educational products or business models, because entrepreneurs want to sell and disseminate their ideas. The education system is being renewed from within. Unfortunately, there are hardly any studies or concepts on edupreneurship. Can you help? I am looking for suggestions, projects or literature on this topic.

From the realm of strategic management - is it still the golden standard to analyze the indust using Porter’s 5 Forces, then using this to select a “generic strategy” I.e: cost-leadership strategy, differentiation strategy, or focus strategy? Or within today’s world of digital business models and blended markets, are there different ways of analyzing and then electing a corporate strategy?
Dear Colleagues,
Which biases / measuring errors do I have to address when doing a survey, where the independent & dependent variable is collected via the same questionnaire from one person?

Does the development of data processing technology in Big Data database systems and other technologies developed in the field of technological revolution Industry 4.0 generate new business management concepts?
At present, in the age of the technological revolution known as the 4.0 industry, new technology management or Internet-based companies are emerging.
The technological revolution in recent years, known as Industry 4.0, is motivated by the development of the following factors:
Big Data database technologies, cloud computing, machine learning, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence.
Added to this is the development of data processing analytics in Business Intelligence enterprises, the development of life science technologies, biotechnology, eco-innovation, energy, medical intelligence, etc.
On the basis of the development of the new technological solutions mentioned in recent years, the processes of innovatively organized analyzes of large information collections gathered in Big Data database systems dynamically develop.
In the context of this problem, many questions arise:
What other technological improvements, innovative organizational, technical and IT solutions will be developed in the future based on the development of the above-mentioned factors?
What kinds of innovations will be able to be created in the coming years, in the future based on the integration of the above-mentioned main determinants of the development of the current technological revolution known as Industry 4.0?
What kind of new categories of added value may be created in the future if the above-mentioned technological solutions are more involved in the creation of biotechnological, ecological, product and other innovations.
Will new technologies be created in this way, with the help of which it will be possible to generate solutions to the problems of excessive exploitation of Earth resources in the process of civilization development?
Do business management processes play a particularly important role in the context of the effective functioning of business entities in currently developing economies based on knowledge, information and technology?
Is e-management a new concept of managing virtual enterprises or rather managing online technology companies?
Are new management concepts of innovative enterprises and start-ups based mainly on knowledge, information, entrepreneurship and creation of innovations?
Does the development of data processing technology in Big Data database systems and other technologies developed in the field of technological revolution Industry 4.0 generates the emergence of new business management concepts?

Certainly, we are in a technological, political and economic environment that demands innovative solutions. I would like to start a collaborative discussion on this subject, with the aim of sharing the views of researchers from different places in the world.
Dear peers,
we are all aware of inefficiencies and waste (time, material, talent) in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector. We also do know that we need to increase overall productivity and quality while reducing costs. But is it possible in the "status quo", using existing processes, materials and tools?
New technologies have demonstrated technical feasibility in R&D (both in Academia and Industry). Yet, there seems little demand from the market itself. How is that - are we lacking appropriate business model design, technology transfer capabilities or modes of open innovation?
Do we need entrepreneurship for these new technologies in construction?
Happy to hear your opinion!

Unethical practices in business constitute a negative aspect of business processes and often generate additional costs for contractors and consumers. On the other hand, the scale of the gray market in the national economy is often correlated with the level of fiscal burdens and the quality of legal regulations regarding the commencement of business activities.
The high share of shadow economy in various branches of the national economy is also lower income from taxes and fees to the central state budget and to local budgets of local government units.
High fiscal burdens and imprecisely formulated legal regulations regarding running a business activity apart from generating a high level of gray economy in the economy may also be a source of unethical practices used in business between contractors or between producers and suppliers of products and services and consumers.
The large scale of the shadow economy in the national economy and the applied unethical practices in business is one of the key factors in the imperfections of the country's economic system.
According to the above, the current question is: Does the scale of occurrence of unethical practices in business correlate with the size of the shadow economy in national economies?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

I am researching about Product-as-a-service (PaaS) circular business models in the B2B as well as B2C context. Currently, I am still looking for companies that have successfully established the PaaS model in their business. So far, I only came across the well-known industry examples (e.g. Rolls-Royce, Philips, Michelin, Xerox, Ricoh, etc.) which are all from the B2B sector.
Do you know any companies in the B2C sector that have transformed from a linear product-selling business model to a PaaS model or companies (e.g. Start-Ups) that started their business based on the PaaS model? So far I only know some companies in the fashion industry (e.g. MUD Jeans or luxury renting services). In case you know more examples from other industries, please let me know.
In case you have other examples from the B2B sector in mind not mentioned above and which are interesting to investigate, please also reply to this post.
Thank you for your support!
Does technological innovation bring about the improvement of social productivity, and then there is corresponding business model innovation and management practice innovation? For example: due to the emergence of Internet technology, there are Internet enterprises with business models like Amazon and Alibaba. In other words, is technological innovation the key to solving problems and social development ?
By the mid-1990s, in consequence of the Information Revolution (ca. 1980–2000), the role of information and communication technology in organizations had grown to such an extent that one could already discern first-level impacts on organizational configuration, organizational culture, business strategy, management processes, work, and workplace. What might be second-level impacts on organizations (e.g., business models, creativity and innovation, psychological contracts) from the ongoing Digital Revolution (ca. 2000s–)? What implications might there be for the nature of organizing, the quest for the agile organization, leveraging information and communication technology for agility, and agility and leadership?
- Business Critical failure indicators CFI
Multinational organizations as well as SME or any type of business organization for that matter share the same principle which is succeed. However success is not usually the end result due to XXX factors either internal or external or else, they all have left the business opportunity to other competitors or any other reason of such.
Below is a small list i picked from the net about these companies that really got my attention because they all shared greatness in their days and completely got cast away afterwards:
1- Kodak
2- Nokia
3- Xerox
Therefore, i would kindly solicit the help of anyone who thinks he has a close as possible answer (CFI's) that he/she could foresee before the their business ends up in a failure, what could be the possible way, approach or strategy that might help, and how to separate the right CFI from the wrong one.

Hello everybody,
While analyzing my PLS Model on Industrial Internet of Things Platforms, the results suggest that the control variable "Price Fairness" has no effect on user loyalty. How would you interpret this finding? Is there a possible explanation I'm overlooking right now? Or would it be better to just report this finding without an interpretation due to the fact that the results object to my hypothesis?
Looking forward to reading your replies.

Internet technology companies that created and developed social media portals have built their business model on specific forms of online marketing.
One of these forms is online viral marketing. In this form of marketing there is still a lot of potential.
However, in the future, the rate of dynamic development of these portals based on marketing activities may significantly decrease.
As a result, the companies that run these portals expand the offer of their information and marketing services.
One of the forms of expanding the activities of these technology companies is, for example, the development of additional services and development towards fin tech.
In view of the above, the current question is: Is online viral marketing the main determinant of the dynamic development of social media portals?
Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

I am currently doing my MBA dissertation on Coopetition within the Public sector.
Appreciate your expertise and opinion on how can Coopetition in the Public sector be successful and what are the main strategies to help it succeed (game theory, design thinking, innovation...etc). Coopetition is hands on in the Private sector and have been successful for years but not fully within the Public sector.
How can coopetition help governments be more Customer-centric?
When competitive advantage was proposed it was a revolutionary concept and was immediately absorbed by the private industry (led by large multi-nationals) as a strategy to acquire market-share, and mind-share of customers. It was very successful till the companies were focussed at manufacturing (industrial production) but as the companies started moving towards service based business models, customers became more-demanding, and business more driven to create new markets, reduce assets and their prices, offer higher value-added services, etc.; the focus has now shifted to developing collaborations. Companies that do not collaborate are not only finding difficult to retain their shares of mind and market but also will soon be fighting for existence.
Collaboration is key to success now, beating competition is no longer the driver of business ethos.Can we propose that collaboration as a strategy is now more relevant than competition?
Hey researchers,
I've got the question regarding the pricing process for a new business model. Does a firm determine the pricing strategy before defining the revenue model? An example: A firm wants to introduce a new business model using a new pricing strategy and a new revenue model: Would this firm firstly define that the pricing strategy ( e.g. cost-based pricing strategy) and then define the revenue model type. Alternatively, would it first define the revenue model (e.g. pay per use) and then determine the pricing strategy?
I am currently investigating the business model Product as a Service in the industrial sector (B2B) and would like to exchange experiences and knowledge. According to my initial research, there are hardly any papers on this topic so far. I am particularly interested in difficulties in pricing the business model. Are you aware of any research?
Hey :-)
I am currently investigating a new business model with the help of expert interviews within the framework of a qualitative study. My plan is to discuss problems of the business model with the managers of the companies in the expert interviews, so it will be an exploratory study. I have come across a variety of methods and am currently unsure which method is best suited. My goal is to formulate hypotheses about the problems of the business model from the interviews. The following methods are currently available:
1) Case Study Research 2) Qualitative Content Analysis 3) Grounded Theory
Do you know of any good book or somethingelse that explain which approach is best for which case?
Many thanks in advance
I would like to focus my master thesis on digitalisation and business models and struggle on how to find a good research gap. My research topic will be digitalisation and its affect on business model innovation. I am thinking to focusing on only one industry ( maybe automotive) at the moment but this can be changed while I doing literature review. Moreover, the whole topic is still rather vague and I am searching for an interesting currently under researched field.
Any suggestions? Would much appreciate it!
