Conclusion: Opening up a New Debate on BMI

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Exploring the Field of Business Model Innovation

Abstract

This chapter summarizes the core contributions of the book, namely the organization of the business model field from a theoretical perspective and the explorative analysis of 50 theories. This included a study of both their application and their potential use for business model research. In doing so, more light into the principles and patterns of the black box BMI is shed. However, instead of providing answers right away, new questions for the field are presented. The conclusion points out how a new wave of business model research can be triggered. For instance, it suggests directing attention of research to the organizational dimension of business model innovation and the cognitive view on business models.
