In the will of openess and exchange characterizing research worldwide, we are attempting to establish a community in which theoretical arguments and empirical research on business models are shared to create cumulative knowledge and fill the gap between academics and practitioners, This website launched in May 2008 will be enriched progressively thanks to your contributions. We invite scholars rooted in any discipline (economics, strategy, marketing, information systems, HRM, finance…) to become members of the community by adding themselves to the research directory and by posting their working papers, call for papers or announcements. Authors from any discipline may consider a submission of business model related working paper to our database of online papers. Practitioners may also submit their reflections and analyses on the topic. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses are welcome. Papers concerning any kind of organizations (firms, non-profit organizations, government….) and any industry are welcome. Papers may be submitted in any language.
Register and submit so that our community becomes over time more comprehensive and larger !
