“Understanding the impact of technology on firms' business models”
Open accessAbstract
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the impact of a new global positioning technology on firms’ business models. Design/methodology/approach The empirical setting was a consortium of Danish organizations, established to develop a positioning‐based technology platform as a basis for innovative commercial products and/or services. Three of the consortium companies were selected for case‐study research. Findings The main findings were that companies will use the new technology to extend their existing business models, and that the technology platform potentially represents the creation of a new business model for the partner companies in the consortium. Practical implications This paper is important in that it will help companies understand technological impact from a business model perspective, thereby enabling them to manage innovation better by distinguishing between the creation, extension, revision or termination of business models. Originality/value The main contribution of this study is its use of the business model perspective to analyse the impact of an emergent technology on companies’ innovation activities. This perspective makes it easier to develop strategic initiatives while managing innovation, and underlines the importance of purposive human action in adopting a proactive behaviour, reducing deterministic views on technological impact.

BM experimentation is researching technical challenges and performing new practices, while BM learning is acquiring new knowledge, discussing new ideas, and contacting and interacting with others.
“Cavalcante (2013) distinguishes experimentation from learning, defining BM experimentation as researching technical challenges and performing new practices, and BM learning as acquiring new knowledge, discussing new ideas, and contacting and interacting with others, for example, new business partners.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
