With the continuous development of computers and the Internet, all industries in China have brought new opportunities for change, and pharmaceutical e-commerce has also shown great potential for development. With the call and encouragement of national policies, the “Internet + drug distribution” business model has shown great potential to replace the traditional drug distribution model in the near future due to its advantages of shortening the transaction process and reducing the cost of enterprises. This paper presents a literature review on theories related to “Internet + drug distribution,” value chain and business model at home and abroad, and focuses on how traditional drug distribution enterprises should adopt the “Internet + drug distribution” model when the country is vigorously promoting it. The study focuses on how traditional pharmaceutical distribution companies should innovate their business models from the perspective of value chain to seek better development. By comparing the business models before and after the innovation, the new business model of “Internet + drug distribution” can help enterprises establish diversified value propositions, increase revenue channels, and reduce operating costs. At the same time, it can integrate and innovate the internal and external value chains of enterprises, so that traditional pharmaceutical distribution enterprises can further enhance their competitiveness and expand their market share. This thesis can enrich the application of value chain and business model theories in the field of “Internet + drug distribution,” and it is hoped that the model experience developed in this thesis can be used as a reference for similar enterprises in their transformation process.

The Internet Of Things

Purpose This study aims to understand their emergence and types of business models in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. Design/methodology/approach The paper builds upon a systematic literature review of IoT ecosystems and business models to construct a conceptual framework on IoT business models, and uses qualitative research methods to analyze seven industry cases. Findings The study identifies four types of IoT business models: value chain efficiency, industry collaboration, horizontal market and platform. Moreover, it discusses three evolutionary paths of new business model emergence: opening up the ecosystem for industry collaboration, replicating the solution in multiple services and return to closed ecosystem as technology matures. Research limitations/implications Identifying business models in rapidly evolving fields such as the IoT based on a small number of case studies may result in biased findings compared to large-scale surveys and globally distributed samples. However, it provides more thorough interpretations. Practical implications The study provides a framework for analyzing the types and emergence of IoT business models, and forwards the concept of “value design” as an ecosystem business model. Originality/value This paper identifies four archetypical IoT business models based on a novel framework that is independent of any specific industry, and argues that IoT business models follow an evolutionary path from closed to open, and reversely to closed ecosystems, and the value created in the networks of organizations and things will be shareable value rather than exchange value.

Since the end of the 1990s, the introduction of Internet technology to the mainstream technologies used in businesses led to the expectation of pure Internet enterprises that might eliminate physical presence to one or more points in the value chain. A sequence of failures managed to resize those expectations and led most firms to just expose routine back end systems transactions through the Internet without a clear focus on relationship building or an integrated cross-channel sales approach. Despite the structural changes to the business level strategy that the Internet may have brought to firms in many industries, business practices in banking have not really evolved. This is because banks perceived Internet-based innovation as an investment opportunity that could raise spatial and temporal constraints much like ATMs had done in the past, without actually changing the value proposition of the business model or the strategic options of financial institutions. This chapter argues that the degree to which financial institutions have actually infused innovation into their traditional business model has been negligible and aims to set out a scene for the study of the evolution of strategy and business models of banks in the Internet era.

The world market of e-commerce is growing actively due to the development of such format of trade as marketplace. Its business model is only being formed, numerous factors influence its content in contradiction with each other. Its increasing popularity leads not only to new opportunities but also to new obstacles for market players, which can cast a doubt on viability of its use. The purpose of the article is to reveal what strategic decisions taken by developers and managers of marketplaces allow the creation of an effective combination of buyers’ and sellers’ aims on the platform, thus, providing mutually profitable exchange for everyone. Three approaches to the study of marketplaces have been identified based on the analysis of the empirical base consisting of secondary information: as a framework that controls the behavior of buyers and sellers in the electronic environment; as an information system; as a business model of an e-commerce. It is concluded that there are conflicting objectives with which the key participants come to the marketplace. The understanding of the business model of the marketplace can contribute to achieving consistency between the interests of sellers and buyers. Four types of marketplace business models have been identified, and they are classified into groups according to three components: value proposition, forms of revenue generation, content of the value creation process. It has been shown that the business model of a marketplace has both advantages and disadvantages, which forces market players to develop focused strategies, and at the same time marketplaces to create value propositions of at least four types: communication stimulation, business transaction automation, coordination of the market as of an intermediary in the value chain, integration of firms and process optimization. A conclusion was made about the prospects of a business model with competitive advantages created for each marketplace.

Hybrid Organisations

This study contributes to the growing interest in hybrid organisations, sustainable business models and inclusive value chain development (IVCD). Recent work has identified that of some 570 million farmers in the world, more than 475 million farmers are smallholders in low-middle-income countries experiencing increasing food insecurity and rural poverty. Research argues that there is a lack of research that provides work on appropriate solutions for smallholders. This paper answers this call by a qualitative study of ten case studies, which draws on hybrid organising, sustainable business model and IVCD research to identify the novel business model characteristics that hybrid organisations use to create and manage more inclusive value chains for smallholders. These hybrid organisations are designed to create a value proposition that delivers sustainability upgrading for smallholders via both product, process and governance upgrades, empowers smallholders to achieve development goals and creates multiple value for social impact. We therefore identify the important characteristics of the hybrid business model to provide appropriate solutions for smallholders and overcome the challenges identified in the inclusive value chain development literature.

This study focuses on theory building providing a holistic conceptual framework that consists of an ontology based OSS business model and an OSS business model taxonomy. The study extends existing theory in OSS business models and corresponding taxonomies, based on the structured-case methodological approach. An exploratory study is conducted in two research cycles, for the identification, validation, and evaluation of the critical constructs of an OSS business model. Results reveal that OSS business models differ from traditional software business models, having specific features that affect the software value chain, the infrastructure, and the revenue model of an OSS oriented firm.

Crowdfunding platforms have substantially increased since 2005 and have supported entrepreneurial projects in response to the low propensity of banking institutions to finance either startups, or poor or young entrepreneurs. However, the theory of strategies and management of crowdfunding is far behind the dynamism of its growth. This shortcoming most likely causes costs and failures, in particular during the current state of increasing competitive pressure in the sector. This paper seeks to construct a general theoretical definition for the concept of a business model and apply it to the P2P social lending on the Internet. Extensive literature is reviewed to construct an archetype business model. The validity of the model will be tested through crowdfunding platforms.
