Modern business models describe the rules of activities on the market and include the elements of the creation of values for their clients. In the literature, there are examples of business models referring to large enterprises, which indicate key areas and conditions of their operation. Development of entrepreneurship in SMEs, especially in microenterprises is an aim of the Horizon 2020 Programme. Significant participation of SMEs in the economy and problems of entrepreneurship of microenterprises should be attractive for researchers. The goal of the article is the presentation of a business model developed for micro enterprises, based on knowledge as the primary resource. The report presents own researches conducted in the years 2015–2016 in microenterprises from the Mazowieckie, Łódzkie and Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeships.

UK fashion micro-enterprises, often founded by creative individuals, need to be entrepreneurially oriented and develop a business model that sustains their growth during the critical early phase. Literature on this phase offers guidance in best practice and survival strategies for the operational challenges that emerge, however the business models that sustain enterprise development and provide the blueprint for growth strategies have not been examined. This chapter explores how micro-enterprises integrate entrepreneurial actions into their business models. By applying literature on best practice in fashion designer businesses and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) to the business model concept, a conceptual framework is developed and serves as a point of reference to analyse the current business models of five micro-enterprises. The study finds that business models in this segment of the fashion sector are asymmetrical and EO emerges in some components of the business model and not others.

One of the main factors for successful formation and implementation of strategic goals of a company is the development of a modern innovative business model concept. The business model should focus on creating and maintaining value of its own product or service, as well as company as a whole. In this publication author studies process of forming a business model for adult education institutions as independent business units that are closely interconnected with business structures. The relevance of this issue is due to the lack in the scientific economic literature of comprehensive studies of business models of adult education institutions. In order to find and select most optimal business model for such organizations, author analyzes modern business models in works of famous scientists and concludes that at the moment in the scientific world there is no single approach to the definition of the essence of the “business model” concept. Based on the analysis of existing business models, author finds out that the main feature of interpretation of “business model” concept in the research of various scientists is a structuring of the main company functional elements aimed at creating value for all stakeholders. Each of the studied theories can be applied to the development of a business model for an adult education institution. Definition analysis of “business model” concept allowed author to single out his own definition of the business model of an adult education institution as a set of interrelated and mutually agreed structural elements of organization’s internal and external environment aimed at effective implementation of a continuous qualitative educational process in order to create value for all stakeholders. A promising direction for further research is the development of methodological and organizational support for formation of a business model for an adult education institution.

This research explores the potential of cash waqf in generating capital revenue in carrying out social-based investment through social enterprises. Looking closely into two different concepts (i.e., social enterprises and waqf), this research appreciates the understanding on the modern business model of social enterprise and the innovative version of religious social finance (i.e., cash waqf). Depending on qualitative methodology and analytical review, the discussion of this research is developed. These approaches are considered suitable and pragmatic for the suggested business model of social enterprise. Here, an innovative business model with a combination of social enterprise operation and cash waqf is introduced. It has the potential to stimulate further research to innovate religious social finance instruments to current and modern business models. This research proposes a business model of social enterprise that combines cash waqf in its operation for sake of generating capital revenue. Simultaneously, such a business model has the potential to expand the cash waqf in meeting social objectives of the social enterprise. As research findings, it is found that even though waqf is derived from a religious traditional philanthropic instrument, its innovative version of cash waqf can be utilised in generating capital revenue for social enterprises. As long as the required principles of cash waqf as provided under Islamic law is fulfilled, a combination of cash waqf in the operation of social enterprise can be carried out.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and discuss the reasons why business models fail, while also identifying the features necessary to develop a method that enables the evaluation of the implementation process of the business model, and is able to help in its development. Design/methodology/approach – The proposed method (roadmap for implementation of business models – RIBM) is composed of nine steps, and seven initials conditions (limitations). Such conditions reduce its complexity (e.g. performance management system is defined in the company). Findings – Some reasons why business models fail (alignment between value proposition and customer segment (value proposition); business model financial viability (costs and revenue); environmental constraints not fully integrated with the design of the business model (environment); business model execution (management), etc.) and made some considerations about the implementation of business models. Research limitations/implications – This work was developed in a small business (with a small team and the external member). The business complexity level and number of processes involved are much smaller when compared with a mid-size or large company. Another factor that contributed to mitigating the problem is that the enterprise had a well-structured report once the owners had made annual analysis and discussed how to improve and expand the business. Practical implications – In this application, RIBM showed a potential tool to minimize flaws in implementation processes of business models. Originality/value – The business model concept is relatively new in the literature. And because of its strategic importance has been the target of all major schools in the area. This work, in particular, deals with the question-related failures that occur in the process of implementing business models.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the nature and characteristics of crowd logistics business models. Using this evaluation, a new concept for a sustainable implementation of crowd logistics services is proposed. Design/methodology/approach The Design Science process was followed to develop the proposed crowd logistics business model concept. The data are derived from expert interviews and a document-based data analysis of 13 companies. Findings Four relevant steps that companies should follow to implement sustainable crowd logistics services are identified. Open research questions are also identified and guide five research tasks, which may lead to a greater understanding of this emerging field. Research limitations/implications The present research is based on data from companies operating in Germany. The holistic approach gives a broad overview but lacks detailed descriptions. Practical implications Managers can use the four steps and the crowd logistics business model concept to plan future activities (e.g. new service provision). These steps increase the understanding, awareness and knowledge of opportunities and risks of specific crowd logistics services. Social implications This paper provides initial insights into social changes in terms of drivers for the use of crowd logistics services. However, further research is needed to capture the social implications in detail. Originality/value Crowd logistics is an emerging concept, and this paper is one of the first dealing with this topic generally and the first providing an analysis of crowd logistics business models. The developed concept includes implications for practice in the forms of common, and best practices, and science in the form of open research questions and tasks. Overall, the present research provides new insights into this emerging topic.
