business model innovation
meeting with Prof. Poh Kam Wong (NUS), Prof. Chris Tucci and his team at EPFL on business model innovation.
Poh Kam presented his ideas on how to design social business models, suggesting that for designing good business models one needs to consider other models: stakeholders, financing and social purpose.
The Chris’s team works on several research projects on business model innovation and design:
The principal objective of a (Swiss NSF) Sinergia project is to explore and clarify the nature of the mechanisms and dynamics underlying the emergence and evolution of new and existing Business Models.
A (EU) FutureEnterprise aims at opening new avenues for Internet-based Enterprise innovation by supporting and coordinating the research activities from the perspective as well as for the benefit of enterprises, on the basis of an open mentality to bridge the past (FP7) with the future (Horizon 2020).
The objective of the a MEDiATE (business models for the elderly) project is to develop and test innovative business models that will hopefully facilitate and enhance the uptake of the MEDiATE solution into well developed as well as emerging markets.
