Problemformulering: Hur påverkas organisationer vid digitala transformationer?  Syfte: Uppsatsens primära syfte är att redogöra för hur en digital transformation har påverkat organisationers affärsmodeller samt påverkat verksamheters användande av strategier. Vi ämnar även att undersöka varför organisationer genomgick en digital transformation och vad som önskades att uppnås med förändringen.  Metod: En kvalitativ datainsamling med en deduktiv ansats. Det empiriska materialet samlades in via strukturerade intervjuer på respondenternas arbetsplatser.  Slutsats: Studien påvisar att organisationerna efter en digital transformation har kunnat skapa ett högre värde genom kostnadsminimering och effektivisering genom användning av mindre medel. Studien visar även att organisationsförändringen förändrar en verksamhet från grunden eftersom nya strukturer och system tillämpas samt delvis påverkar affärsmodeller. Det är därför av vikt att ha en digital strategi, en handlingsplan och mål för förändringsprocessen.

Considering the competitiveness of global markets within an ever-changing environment, a company\'s Business Model should be able to innovate constantly to capture value within the company, while addressing better the customer needs. The PSS Business Model represents an innovation while providing value to the customer supported by a combination of products and services. However, the PSS Business Model also needs to innovate constantly. The Internet of Things (IoT) comprises networked objects able to interact with each other and to people, to reach common goals with a high level of efficiency, thus presenting potential to create a new value proposition to PSS Business Model Design. However, the existing literature represents an IoT solution into PSS Design, using either technical constructs or a high level free textual description. The goal of this study is to propose a \"Method to support the representation of IoT solutions during the PSS Business Model Design\". The method was developed based on the Design Research Methodology (DRM), comprising three research stages. During the first and second stages, a literature review was conducted to generate theoretical requirements for guiding the proposition of the method. During the third stage, the requirements were developed, and multiple case studies using secondary sources were used to propose the method in theory. During the final activity of the third stage, an exploratory application of the method for a Driverless PSS Car Sharing were applied and its results, as well as all the method\'s artifacts, were object of an initial evaluation by a focus group. The results indicated that method has potential to provide a common language for the PSS Business Model designers, while providing detailed information, to be added to the dimensions of a PSS Business Model that comprises IoT solutions. / Considerando a competitividade dos mercados globais dentro de um ambiente de constante mudança, o modelo de negócio de uma empresa deve ser capaz de inovar constantemente, capturando valor dentro da empresa ao mesmo tempo em que atende melhor as necessidades dos clientes. O modelo de negócio de PSS representa uma inovação ao entregar valor ao cliente através de uma combinação de produtos e serviços. No entanto, o modelo de negócio de PSS também precisa inovar constantemente. A Internet das coisas (IoT) compreende objetos em rede capazes de interagir uns com os outros e com as pessoas, para alcançar metas comuns com elevado nível de eficiência. Dessa forma, apresenta potencial para criar a nova proposta de valor para o desenho de modelo de negócio de PSS. No entanto, a literatura existente representa a solução de IoT usando ou constructos técnicos, ou um nível alto de descrição textual. O objetivo deste estudo é propor um \"Método de representação de soluções de internet das coisas (IoT) durante o design de um modelo de negócios de um Sistema produto-serviço (PSS)\". O método foi desenvolvido com apoio da Design Research Methodology (DRM), sendo composto de três fases de investigação. Durante a primeira e a segunda fase, realizou-se uma revisão da literatura para gerar requisitos teóricos para orientar a proposição de método. Durante a terceira fase, foram desenvolvidos requerimentos e analisados múltiplos estudos de caso, usando fontes secundárias, para propor o método na teoria. Durante a atividade final da terceira fase foi realizada uma aplicação exploratória do método, em um caso de um PSS de \"uso compartilhado de carros\" usando um carro autônomo. Em seguida todos os artefatos do método, e os resultados dessa aplicação exploratória, foram objeto de uma avaliação inicial por um grupo focal. Os resultados indicaram que o método tem potencial para fornecer uma linguagem comum para os desenvolvedores de modelo de negócio de PSS, proporcionando informações detalhadas, a serem adicionadas às dimensões de um modelo de negócio de PSS.

Nessa perspectiva, a revisão da literatura abordou o tema Modelo de Negócios e elegeu um framework pelo qual os casos foram escolhidos e analisados, enquanto o processo de BMI foi pesquisado a partir da perspectiva da Estratégia como Prática – para entender como as ações realizadas pelos atores organizacionais conduziram os jornais à inovação. Essa perspectiva aproveita uma lacuna das correntes clássicas da estratégia, analisando-a em nível miro-organizacional, considerando aspectos emergentes da sua construção e as relações entre diferentes atores que a compõe. Abordou-se ainda os padrões de negócio da indústria de jornais, estabelecendo um paralelo entre os modelos do papel e do digital. Com base nas evidências teóricas, o problema de pesquisa foi estabelecido para saber quais foram e como emergiram as práticas que favoreceram o processo de BMI nos casos estudados. Essa questão foi endereçada pela proposição de um modelo conceitual que relacionou as práticas aos fatores que levaram os atores da organização à realização das mesmas. A partir daí delineou-se o modelo conceitual metodológico, realizado através do estudo dos dois casos – ambos jornais de grande expressividade no Brasil que passaram por processos de BMI. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam que: A) o processo de BMI inicia com o reconhecimento de motivações internas e externas aos atores da organização; B) as motivações levam os atores a realizarem práticas formais ou informais, relacionadas à abertura dos limites da organização ou à colaboração entre áreas da empresa; C) as práticas encontradas permeiam diferentes etapas do processo de inovação; e D) os atores do processo de inovação são múltiplos (internos e externos) e colaboração é característica comum a todas as práticas mapeadas. Essas proposições sugerem que BMI está associado ao processo de inovação aberta, ao qual o aspecto de colaboração é inerente. Nesse sentido, afrouxar fronteiras externas e internas da organização e estabelecer relações dialógicas entre os diferentes atores, pode favorecer o processo de inovação em modelo de negócios / This dissertation approaches the Business Model Innovation (BMI) process of O Globo and Zero Hora newspapers through the adoption of practices that have led them towards the transformation of their traditional models. In this perspective, the literature review addressed the theme Business Model and chose a framework by which the cases were chosen and analyzed, while the BMI process was researched from the perspective of the Strategy as a Practice - to understand how the actions carried out by the actors Led the newspapers to innovation. This perspective takes advantage of a gap in the classic lines of strategy, analyzing it at the organizational level, considering emerging aspects of its construction and the relations between the different actors that compose it. It also addressed the business standards of the newspaper industry, establishing a parallel between paper and digital models. Based on the theoretical evidences, the research problem was established to know what are and how they emerged the practices that favored the BMI process in the cases studied. This question was addressed by the proposition of a conceptual model that related the practices to the factors that led the actors of the organization to the realization of them. From there, the conceptual methodological model was developed, through the study of the two cases - both big newspapers in Brazil that passed by BMI processes. The results of the research indicate that: a) the BMI process begins with the recognition of internal and external motivations to the actors of the organization; B) the motivations lead the actors to carry out formal or informal practices, related to the opening of the boundaries of the organization or to collaboration between areas of the company; C) the practices found permeate different stages of the innovation process; And D) the actors of the innovation process are multiple (internal and external) and collaboration is a common feature of all mapped practices. These propositions suggest that BMI is associated with the open innovation process, to which the aspect of collaboration is inherent. In this sense, becoming porous the organization's external and internal borders and establishing dialogic relations between the different actors can favor the business model innovation process

The literature review on emerging concepts of 'Business model' and 'Business model innovation' finds significant theoretical and practical potential to facilitate the strategising and innovating activities of modern organisations operating in complex and dynamic business environments. However, a further review of extant literature reveals that although a significant knowledge-base has been accumulated focusing on the content and process aspects of the phenomenon, very few of the conducted studies take a practice-based perspective. Therefore, in keeping with the broader research question of current strategising practices, this research investigates the issue from many possible philosophical, theoretical and methodological angles, in turn making several contributions to the theory and practice of business models while also opening up several potential future research avenues. This research consists of four main research stages sequentially covering problem formulation, two theory creation phases and problem solving, thereby meeting the requirements of a practice-based management research through relevance rather than merely rigour, as in conventional scientific research. As a result, it offers several research contributions to both the theory and practice of business models, which can be immediately put into practice by theorists, practitioners and entrepreneurs: a pluralistic business model research classification framework; a dynamic practice-based approach to the construction of business models; a knowledge-based conceptualisation of business models and a dynamic capability matrix for business model practices. Additionally, this research also offers potential future contributions to adjacent research streams such as dynamic capabilities, strategy as practice and research methodology. Overall, by utilising the philosophy of pragmatism, this thesis advances the contemporary discipline of business models towards a practice-based science, crucially and timely bridging the knowledge gap in existing practice-based theories and frameworks business models. It is hopes that this work will gave rise to a new movement of research on business models, positioning itself as a well established applied-oriented management science among the broader disciplines of strategy, innovation and entrepreneurship.

體驗經濟思維已成為未來企業經營的重心，體驗為主的企業，紛紛利用不同的體驗活動增加產品、服務的附加價值。綜觀台灣稻米產業，在加入世界貿易組織後，面臨稻米開放進口及削減農業補貼之壓力，加上國人飲食習慣受西式文化影響，飲食選擇多樣化及家庭外食比例提高，造成稻米耕作面積縮減及稻米供應量降低，使稻米產業的經營不免落入產量與價格的競爭。 研究從商業模式創新的角度出發，針對掌生穀粒糧商號、行健有機夢想村、穀東俱樂部與南澳自然田，四間台灣稻米產業中成功轉換到體驗經濟思維下經營的個案公司，根據深入訪談與直接觀察分析，了解並評估個案公司在體驗經濟下的商業模式創新。而研究成果一方面可提供四間個案公司作為未來發展的參考，另一方面也可成為未來台灣稻米產業在體驗經濟下創新經營的參考典範。 本研究之研究結論如下： 1.傳統稻米產業應積極尋求外部資源的投入，以求產業的成長轉型，加強與消費者間體驗的互動，勿停留在提供初級產品的經營思維。 2.企業經營者應秉持自己的中心思想，尋找具相同理念的消費者，營造具特色的體驗活動，勿一味追求市場佔有率。 3.稻米產業中企業商業模式的創新應善用新科技與體驗活動設計，並納入舊有元素，在傳統與創新中找到平衡點。 4.稻米產業中企業進行商業模式創新時，除考量可行性與創造財富的潛力，亦應思考永續經營與移轉複製的能性。 5.企業進行商業模式創新時，需一併考慮自身的社會責任，透過體驗行銷與體驗媒介傳達有益社會的經營理念，以服務大眾為己任。 個案研究顯示，四間個案公司的商業模式創新都和創新機會與創新因素息息相關，更與體驗經濟思維有非常深厚的連結，而商業模式的創新，確實能為台灣稻米產業帶來創造財富的潛力與提升永續經營的可能性。 / In recent years, experience economic viewpoint has been an important role in business. Some companies raise their products’ or services’ value by holding different experiential activities. In addition, the rice industry in Taiwan faces many challenges recently. First of all, imported liberalization and reduction of agricultural subsidies owing to joining WTO make more stress. And then people change their eating habits because of Western cultures. Moreover, many kinds of eating choices and higher proportion of eating outside are harmful for entire rice industry. Therefore, rice farming areas and provisions are decreased as well as the rice industry in Taiwan falls into aggressive competitions of price and yield. According to business model innovation structure, this study analyzes four Taiwanese successful companies which use experience economic viewpoint. This study gains information from in-depth interviews. This study also hopes to provide case companies some advances which might improve their future development. Furthermore, a referenced model is built by this research result. This study comes to the following conclusions: 1.The traditional rice industry should actively seek external resources, increase interactions and experiences between consumers and companies and avoid only selling rice goods. These methods could improve the growth and transformation of the rice industry. 2.Business managers need to insist their own central ideals, look for consumers who have the same ideals, create unique experiences and avoid blindly pursuing market share. 3.Business model innovation in the rice industry in Taiwan have to use new technology correctly, create experiences and redesign old elements to find a well balance of convention and innovation. 4.Business model innovation in the rice industry in Taiwan ought to pay more attention to not only wealth potential but also the possibilities of replication and sustainable development. 5.Business model innovation in the rice industry in Taiwan must think of social duty, their own ideals which are spread by experience marketing and media and take responsibility for serving the public. From these case studies, it is shown that four companies have strongly relationships among innovation opportunities, innovation factors and experience economic viewpoints. In fact, the rice industry in Taiwan can produce wealth potential and increase the possibility of sustainable development by using business model innovation.

A new type of communities is gaining momentum on the web and is reshaping online communication and collaboration patterns and the way how information is consumed and produced [Gros04, Kolb06]. Examples of such communities are Wikipedia, MySpace, OpenBC, YouTube, Folksonomies, numerous Weblogs and others. In literature different terms can be found to denote the emerging and growing new phenomenon: social software [Bäch06] or peer production [Scho05]. In the year 2005, Tim O'Reilly popularized the term Web 2.0 [O'Reil05]. While the first two terms can be applied also to earlier, already established forms of online communities (for an overview see [Stan02]), the term Web 2.0 is mostly applied to emphasize the differences of emerging communities compared to earlier forms of online communities, encompassing various perspectives - technology, attitude, philosophy.

En analysant les évolutions récentes de l'industrie du médicament, cette thèse apporte de nouveaux éléments, théoriques et empiriques, sur les mécanismes de transformation des industries de hautes technologies. Nous cherchons à comprendre pourquoi l'introduction de discontinuités technologiques ne conduit pas forcément au changement de l'industrie, et comment la logique dominante peut être remise en question. Pour répondre à cette problématique, nous utilisons une approche qualitative. Nous interrogeons des experts de l'industrie du médicament, et analysons onze études de cas d'entreprises de biotechnologies et de bioinformatique. Notre première contribution théorique est de proposer le concept de logique dominante pour compléter les travaux sur le cycle de vie des industries. Nous argumentons que les discontinuités technologiques sont une condition nécessaire, mais pas suffisante, du changement de phase d'une industrie. Le concept de logique dominante permet de prendre en compte les schémas généraux de création et de capture de valeur qui contraignent la stratégie des firmes évoluant dans l'industrie. Notre seconde contribution théorique est d'identifier quatre mécanismes de remise en cause de la logique dominante d'une industrie :nouvelles propositions de valeur, alliances avec de grandes entreprises d'autres industries, orchestration de réseaux, et portefeuilles de business models. Notre troisième contribution est managériale. Nous proposons un outil de la conception de la stratégie d'entreprise afin d'articuler promesses et risques, moyen et long terme. Enfin, notre quatrième contribution s'adresse aux managers et dirigeants de l'industrie du médicament. Nous leur suggérons quatre pistes de réflexion pour concevoir la stratégie de leur entreprise. / In analyzing recent developments in the drug industry, this thesis brings new elements, both theoretical and empirical, on mechanisms for the transformation of high-technology industries. We seek to understand why the introduction of technological discontinuities does not necessarily lead to change in the industry and on how the dominant logic can be questioned. To address this problem, we used a qualitative approach. We interviewed drug industry experts, and analyzed eleven case studies of biotechnology and bioinformatics companies. Our first theoretical contribution is to propose the concept of dominant logic to complete research on industry life cycle, where we argue that technological discontinuities are a necessary, but not sufficient, condition to change the industry. The concept of dominant logic allows taking into account the general schemes of value creation and value capture that constrain the strategies of the firms that are in the industry. Our second theoretical contribution is to identify four mechanisms of challenge to the industry's dominant logic: new value propositions, alliances with large diversifying entrants, orchestration of networks, and portfolios of business models. Our third contribution is managerial. We offer a tool for the design of corporate strategy. This tool allows articulating promises and risks, medium and long term. Finally, our fourth contribution addresses managers and leaders of the drug industry. We suggest four ways of thinking about the design of their corporate strategies.

Den här studie syftar till att skapa en förståelse för hur företag bedöms i urvalsprocessen hos inkubatorer och identifiera de egenskaper som inkubatorerna ser till i bedömningen. En inkubator är ett företag som förser start-ups med lokal, rådgivning och olika typer av tjänster. Entreprenörer med affärsidéer söker sig till inkubatorer för att de behöver hjälp med att iterera och verkställa sina idéer samt utveckla sitt företag. Studiens empiri har samlats in genom sex kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer som har insyn i urvalsprocessen hos en inkubator. Empirin analyseras sedan med hjälp av den forskning och litteratur som finns gällande inkubatorer men även med hjälp av modellen Business Model Canvas. Med hjälp av empirin och teorin i denna studie har det skapats en förståelse för hur urvalsprocessen går till. Studien visar på att alla de som söker sig till inkubatorer är i olika faser och inkubatorerna har olika huvudkriterier. Det gäller därför för företaget att hitta rätt inkubator för just dem. Idén och entreprenören har lyfts som två självständiga delar då det har visat sig att inkubatorer bedömer dessa två delar var för sig. Vi har hittat ett mönster som visar på att det finns två olika urval i urvalsprocessen med en verifieringsfas däremellan. Urvalsprocessen ses även ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv där det kan konstateras att det inte är en självklarhet att det vägs in i bedömningen av företagen. / This study aims to create an understanding of how companies are assessed in the selection process of business incubators and identifying the qualities that business incubators value in the assessment. A business incubator is a company that provides start-ups with local, consulting and different types of services. Entrepreneurs with business ideas are applying to incubators to get help develop their ideas and their business. The empirical material has been gathered through six qualitative semi-structured interviews with individuals who have an insight into the selection process of a business incubator. The empirical material is analyzed using the research and literature on business incubators, but also using the model Business Model Canvas. With the help of the empirical material and the theory of this study, an understanding has been created for the selection process. The study shows that all those applying to a business incubator are in different phases and business incubators have different main criteria. That’s why the company has to find the right business incubator for them. The idea and the entrepreneur have been raised as two independent parts as it has been found that business incubators assess these two parts separately. We have found a pattern that shows that there are two different selections in the selection process with a verification phase in between. The selection process is also seen from a sustainability perspective where it can be concluded that it is not a matter of course that it is weighted in the assessment of the companies.
