QUO VADIS BUSINESS MODEL INNOVATION? BMI STATUS, DEVELOPMENT, AND RESEARCH IMPLICATIONS

Driven by technological progress, new market trends, and deregulation, business model innovations (BMI) are becoming increasingly important for entrepreneurs. established companies. and corresponding researchers. Against the background of the vast number of current studies and research reviews and a resulting lack of oversight, this study aims to systematically analyse previous literature studies on BMI to find out which and to what extent specific BMI research topics are considered. This novel meta-literature study provides a systematic analysis of 34 selected review studies by comparing their research approach, focus and findings, citation success, and open research questions. In this context, 12 key areas could be derived, which can be grouped under the following headings: BMI definitions and terminology. BMI determinants, BMI configurations and processes, and BMI outcomes and impacts. The systematic and detailed analysis of the studies allows conclusions to be drawn about identified research gaps and helps to derive recommendations for future research and practical developments in the field of BMI.
