Managing co-creation in innovative business models: the case of sharing economy
No full textObjectives. The purpose of the paper is to analyze how co-creation is managed within the innovative business models of sharing economy platforms.
Methodology. Case studies analysis has been performed on three sharing economy platforms. Platforms have been selected according to the extent to which innovation driven by co-creative processes was evincible in the value proposition, in the profit formula or in the key processes and resources. The cases have been analyzed through the D.A.R.T. model that defines the four places of co-creation (dialogue, access, risk, transparency).
Findings. The analysis shows that there is a link between the type of innovation and the dimension of co-creation. In particular: Dialogue is relevant when co-creation refers to the innovation of the value proposition; Access is more stressed when co-creation drives the innovation in the key resources and processes; Risk comes to be underlined in the platform where co-creation involves the definition of the profit formula. Transparency is a common element across all of the analyzed cases.
Research limits. Shortcomings concern the selection of the theoretical framework, the exclusion of platforms other than C2C and the focus on secondary data.
Practical implications. The analysis allows to understand the dimensions of co-creation that emerge as being particularly relevant in sharing economy platforms where the innovation of the business model is based on the involvement of customers.
Originality of the study. This work provides a joint analysis of BMI and co-creation as emerging in sharing economy platforms, proposing an integrated interpretation of these phenomena

Adopting open innovation in supply networks
No full textKnowledge distribution compels firms to search outside for new knowledge to sustain their competitive advantage. The purpose of this paper concerns the role of network structures and inter-organisational relations on ‘purposive knowledge inflow.’ It also aims to suggest network conditions for enhancing knowledge flow in different types of open innovation practices with suppliers. Based on the past research, four types of open innovation approaches, through which focal firms can gain access to their suppliers’ knowledge, are considered. Building on extensive open innovation literature and social network theory, we develop a conceptual model that identifies network conditions for each open innovation practice with suppliers. The contribution of this paper is in extending the body of the literature in open innovation research by proposing a framework that conceptualises the role of social networks in open innovation practices. The proposed framework can be useful to practitioners in adopting the most favourable network conditions and also classifies supply network conditions based on the open innovation practices

No full textStrategie e performance delle imprese internet. Un'analisi sulle imprese italiane quotate alla Borsa di Milano
No full textIl tema qui affrontato concerne le imprese italiane che operano nel “comparto Internet” in questa prima fase del secolo e che si sono maggiormente “esposte” al pubblico quotandosi in borsa. In particolare la presente ricerca si è proposta di offrire elementi di conoscenza sulle imprese nazionali che hanno avuto la voglia e il coraggio di operare nel settore delle telecomunicazioni, meglio precisato dal “comparto Internet”. Nel presente lavoro, inoltre, si è perseguito un duplice obiettivo: da un lato conoscere e definire i confini del contesto di riferimento delle produzioni di beni e servizi internet; dall’altro identificare le strategie aziendali degli operatori che sono entrati nel comparto, quantificare i risultati pro tempore raggiunti ed esprimere, infine, alcune riflessioni su quello che appare come un modello di ciclo di vita emergente di queste imprese.The issue addressed here concerns the Italian companies operating in the "Internet segment" in this first phase of the century and which are more "exposed" to the public quotandosi purse. In particular, this research proposal is to offer insights on domestic firms that have had the desire and the courage to work in the telecommunications sector, better explained by the "Internet segment." In the present work, moreover, has pursued a double objective: on the one hand to know and define the boundaries of the context of the production of goods and services, internet, and secondly to identify the business strategies of the operators who have entered the sector, quantify the results achieved and express pro tempore, finally, some thoughts on what looks like a model of the life cycle of these emerging businesses
