Business model innovation from an open systems perspective: structural challenges and managerial solutions

Henrik Berglund, Christian Sandström · 2013 · International Journal of Product Development

Summary. Business model innovation requires firms to navigate interdependencies across organizational boundaries rather than focus solely on internal capabilities. The authors argue that because business models are systemic and span firm boundaries, companies lack complete control over their networks. They propose that managers should develop shared knowledge, build trust-based appropriability regimes, maintain network stability, and align diverse stakeholder interests to overcome these structural constraints.
