Social ventures represent a new type of organization that aim to create sustainable social value, such as promoting the well-being of communities and their existence is based on developing solutions to tackle complex social problems. Developing a suitable business model for a social venture is crucial because the right model with a sustainable value offering in its core can support the venture and direct it toward self-sustainability and competitiveness. Research on social venture business models has been so far limited and particularly innovation in business models needs more inquiry. Through an in-depth case study, we aim to extend the understanding how business models of social ventures can meet these goals and how the business model elements interact with each other. The study findings indicate that opportunity recognition which is followed by innovative resource mobilization and integration can turn into a well-functioning business-model that serves the desired ends, creating social value and help to achieve self-sustainability. Furthermore, establishing the right interconnections between the business model elements was found to support the development of an efficient social venture business model.

Background and Purpose: Though Mobile Wallets have the potential to entirely substitute their physical predecessor, many Mobile Wallets narrow their operations to one particular feature. This might be because of strategic business- model design choices to position themselves strategically as intermediates between users and business partners (third parties) in more delimited markets. Thus, Mobile Wallet Applications (MWAs) often represent platforms in narrow two-sided market structures. Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper focuses on the economics of such platforms by the means of a business model analysis. It examines how business partners are integrated in four MWAs’ strategies: Key Ring, FidMe, Apple Passbook and Qustomer. Results: The paper shows that MWAs strive to incorporate not only a large quantity of partners but also such with a high brand value (quality of partners) in their organization design. These partners shape their service design since none of the platforms offer products or services themselves. Hence, MWAs are dependent on the third parties’ capacity and willingness to fulfill engagements and meet the customer demands. Conclusion: MWAs - though concerned with the inclusion and management of loyalty points and schemes - do not leverage the possibility to generate revenue via third parties’ loyalty points. Theoretically, MWAs could reward or redeem loyalty points themselves.

Industrial companies are the core of the national innovation system. However, large, medium and small enterprises differ significantly in their role in the innovation system, resource potential, strategic priorities and objectives. The paper focuses on a comparative analysis of the strategic priorities of innovative activities of Russian companies of different size. We have identified three types of companies: small innovative companies, large and medium-sized companies with a traditional business model, major innovation-driven companies with an integrated business model. Our analysis of the trajectories of small innovative firms located in Novosibirsk Scientific Center showed that the majority of the companies can be characterized either as spin-off firm or as specialized supplier. Spin-offs are newly established small firms, who have recently separated from the major research labs or parent companies. The typical behavior model for such companies is innovative entrepreneurship. Specialized suppliers are small companies that provide significant contributions to complex manufacturing systems in the form of equipment, parts, tools and software. Innovative objectives of such small companies deal with design and production of the specific elements required for large companies. Large and medium-sized companies with a traditional business model are characterized by the existing structure of commodity output and the supply chain. Characteristic type of innovative behavior for such companies includes incremental product and process innovations. Large innovation-oriented companies with an integrated business model have traditional production units and innovative units in their structure. Innovation priorities of major innovation-oriented companies with integrated business model are consistent with the hybrid model of behavior which combines the traditional model with an innovative entrepreneurship.

Millions of users around the world have registered on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered by hundreds of universities (and other organizations) worldwide. Creating and offering these courses costs thousands of pounds. However, at present, revenue generated by MOOCs is not sufficient to offset these costs. The sustainability of MOOCs is a pressing concern as they incur not only upfront creation costs but also maintenance costs to keep content relevant, as well as on-going facilitation support costs while a course is running and re-running. At present, charging a fee for certification seems to be a popular business model adopted by leading platform providers. In this position paper, the authors explore possible business models for courses, along with their advantages and disadvantages, by conducting a literature study and applying personal insights gained from attending various MOOC discussion fora. Some business models discussed here are: the Freemium model, sponsorships, initiatives and grants, donations, merchandise, the sale of supplementary material, selective advertising, data-sharing, follow-on events, and revenue from referrals. This paper looks at the sustainability of MOOCS as opposed to the sustainability of MOOC platforms, while observing the tight link between them.

W artykule podjęto zagadnienie modeli biznesu firm rodzinnych. Firmy rodzinne to specyficzne podmioty łączące w sobie relacje rodzinne z logiką prowadzenia biznesu. Tematyka modeli biznesu firm rodzinnych to zagadnienie rzadko podejmowane w badaniach naukowych. Na podstawie przeglądu literatury przedmiotu i przeprowadzonych badań własnych autorka stwierdza, że modele biznesu wykorzystywane do opisu sposobu prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej firm nierodzinnych mają ograniczoną zdolność wyjaśniania zachowań biznesowych firm rodzinnych. Model biznesu, który pozwalałby scharakteryzować zachowania biznesowe firm rodzinnych powinien uwzględniać specyficzne cechy tych podmiotów wynikające z interakcji systemu rodziny i systemu przedsiębiorstwa. Autorka proponuje własną koncepcję modelu biznesu, którą można zastosować do opisu sposobu prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej firm rodzinnych.

The article examines the issue of business models of family businesses. The family businesses are specific entities that combine family relationships with the logic of conducting business. The subject of the business models of the family businesses is rarely undertaken in scientific research. Based on a review of literature and her own research, the author concludes that the business models used to describe methods of conducting non-family businesses, have a limited ability to explain business behaviour of the family businesses. The business model that would be able to characterize the business behaviour of family businesses should consider the specific characteristics of those entities arising from the interaction of family system and the enterprise system. The author proposes her own concept of the business model that can be used to describe the method of doing business by family businesses.

W niniejszym artykule autor wysuwa następującą hipotezę badawczą: Na poziom internetowej aktywności informacyjnej osiąganej przez przedsiębiorstwa działające w Internecie wpływają między innymi następujące czynniki:  realizowane modele biznesowe,  wielkość przedsiębiorstwa,  okres działalności przedsiębiorstwa,  prowadzenie działalności tylko w Internecie lub działalności mieszanej. Analiza statystyczna wyników przeprowadzonych badań wykazała brak wpływu trzech spośród wymienionych czynników, tzn.: realizowanego modelu biznesowego, rodzaju działalności oraz okresu prowadzonej działalności na poziom syntetycznego miernika internetowej aktywności informacyjnej (SMIAI). Jedynie wielkość badanego przedsiębiorstwa wykazała istotny statystycznie wpływ na poziom SMIAI. Szczególnie zaskakuje brak wpływu realizowanego modelu biznesowego na poziom syntetycznych mierników internetowej aktywności informacyjnej badanych podmiotów. Należy podkreślić, że wyniki badań są ograniczone ze względu na reprezentatywność próby.
