Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: The innovation of business model (BM) is a strategic process for many firms, from which depends competitiveness and sustainability. Despite its theoretical relevance in management sciences, research on business model innovation is in its infancy and lacks of research consistency and theoretical connections to the theme of "performance". With the aim to contribute in bridging this gap, this paper aims to identify and analyse drivers of business model innovation performance. Design/methodology/approach: This research is based on an integrative literature review methodology. Findings: BMI performance drivers are conditions related to various dimensions (i.e. processes, resources, market, BM structure, etc). that, when fulfilled, allow the BMI to have higher performance. BMI performance drivers are antecedents of BMI performance, and their identification is of both theoretical and practical value. The authors find and report a set of 35 BMI performance drivers. Originality/value: The value of this research is both theoretical and practical. From a theoretical point of view, the identified "Business Model Innovation performance drivers" define and identify a variable of BMI performance, from a practical perspective, and they provide a comprehensive set of key conditions whose attainment should be planned, pursued and monitored by managers.
