While the business model has become one of the most popular construct and concept that deals with the business strategy, very few attempts have been made in order to apply it in case of multi-business firms and, in general, within the corporate strategy.

The paper firstly starts with an in-depth literature review on the two main topics: the business model and the corporate strategy. The attention has been focused on the existing corporate tools and on the few papers dealing with the BM in a corporate environment.

Mentre il business model è diventato uno dei più popolari costrutti e concetti che si occupano della strategia di business, ben pochi tentativi sono stati fatti al fine di applicarlo in caso di imprese diversificate e, in generale, all'interno della strategia corporate. Questo lavoro ha lo scopo di costruire un nuovo modello corporate in grado di introdurre il business model e le sue caratteristiche nel processo di strategia corporate. Il paper in primo luogo inizia con un esame approfondito della letteratura sui due temi principali: il business model e la strategia corporate. L'attenzione è stata focalizzata sugli strumenti corporate esistenti e sui pochi paper che si occupano del BM in un ambiente aziendale. Poi, abbiamo sviluppato un quadro globale in grado di analizzare il portafoglio dei BM di una azienda mappando componenti dei BM in diverse matrici. L'obiettivo del modello è quello di aiutare i manager nella manipolazione dei business model al fine di mantenere un portafoglio bilanciato attraverso replicazioni e innovazioni dei BM. Le dimensioni principali utilizzate sono: l'usabilità, i vincoli tangibili ed intangibili. Il framework è stato testato in tre diversi casi studio: Daimler, Amazon e Percassi. Attraverso interviste e questionari, è stato possibile popolare le varie matrici e ottenere indicazioni utili sulle azioni appropriate necessarie nei diversi casi. Questo documento offre diversi importanti contributi alla letteratura, sia in termini di business model sia in termini di strategia corporate. Infatti, fornisce il primo reale progresso nel campo dei tool di strategia corporate negli ultimi venti anni ed è il primo che fonde il concetto BM e la strategia corporate. Il framework ha dimostrato di contribuire positivamente anche nel vero e proprio processo di gestione strategica.

Abstract
While the business model has become one of the most popular construct and concept that deals with the business strategy, very few attempts have been made in order to apply it in case of multi-business firms and, in general, within the corporate strategy. This work is aimed at constructing a new corporate model that is able to introduce the business model and its characteristics in the corporate strategy process. The paper firstly starts with an in-depth literature review on the two main topics: the business model and the corporate strategy. The attention has been focused on the existing corporate tools and on the few papers dealing with the BM in a corporate environment. Then, we developed a comprehensive framework that could analyze the business model portfolio of a corporation by mapping the BMs’ components into different matrices. The aim of the model is to help managers into the business model manipulation in order to maintain a balanced portfolio through BM replications and BM innovations. The main dimensions used are: the usability, the tangible and intangible constraints. The framework has been tested into three different case studies: Daimler, Amazon and Percassi. Through interviews and questionnaires, it was possible to populate the various matrices and get useful insights on the proper actions needed in the different cases. This paper offers different important contributions to the literature, both in terms of business model and in terms of corporate strategy. Indeed, it provides the first real advancement in the field of the corporate strategy tools in the last twenty years and it is the first that merged the BM concept and the corporate strategy. The framework proved to positively contribute also in the real strategy management process.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
