The changing market trends make it mandatory for businesses to constantly innovate and improve while keeping the expenditures at lowest. For any business, irrespective of size, information technology is playing a major role. Cloud computing is emerging as a driving factor for all types of businesses. Although cloud computing is widely recognized as a technology transformer, its potential for driving business innovation is not exploited to the fullest. Cloud computing promises to decrease capital expenditures and offer higher utilization rates on existing hardware. To exploit the cloud computing capability to enable organizations to enhance their revenue streams and improved customer relationships while increasing business agility, organizations need to determine how best to employ cloud enabled business models that promote sustainable competitive advantage, as this chapter discusses. By completely leveraging cloud computing opportunities, organizations can focus on process improvement by driving inefficiencies out of repeatable processes and providing agility to reuse elements of business logic.

The journalism industry faces difficulties in creating sustainable business models for the digital age. Communications research has looked at this challenge through case studies and panoramic perspectives, but there’s a lack of holistic views and a need for focus on value creation. In this situation, this paper presents a systematic literature review that confirms there’s a clear lack of standardization between the case studies, whose main focus have been revenue streams at the expense of deeper analysis of other key factors for the economic success of a company, like the value proposition. With the aim to contribute to the solution of this problem, the paper also proposes a methodological tool that allows future researchers to analyze the business model of a journalism company in a standard way with a view to facilitate better comparisons between companies and to understand success patterns of sustainable business models in order to promote innovation and knowledge exchange. Keywords: Business Models for Journalism; Revenue Streams for Journalism; Media Companies; Digital Journalism; Media Business Models Analysis; Media Economics.

The main purpose of the chapter is to empirically analyze the impact of trust, innovation, usefulness, concentrated product category, and customer support service on commitment which in turn influences eWOM and sustainable consumption. Sustainable consumption ultimately influences sustainable competitive advantage. The study has adopted SEM approach, where an instrument was developed in the form of structured questionnaire (using both EFA and CFA) regarding the above-mentioned variables. A survey has been conducted via online and offline mode in the state of Jammu and Kashmir (India) and a sample of 589 respondents has been drawn randomly from the population of e-shoppers. The results of the study have revealed that sustainable online shopping dimensions have a significantly positive impact on the commitment which in turn has a significantly positive influence on eWOM and sustainable consumption. The study has unique contribution in the online retail industry, which is continuously incurring huge losses in the online marketplace by incorporating sustainability dimensions in B2C business models.

Internet of things (IoT) is a new trending paradigm for advanced technological development which has drawn significant research attention in the recent years. IoT comprises intelligent communicating “things,” putting a big challenge on ensuring security, reliability, efficiency, and safety in their interaction. Staying connected always, constant evolution, and grappling with multiple life cycles are the major factors of concern. In this context, a new process model for IoT-based software development has a greater relevance in order to reduce the associated risk. To exploit the capability of IoT-driven innovations which enable organizations to enhance their revenue streams, reduce time to market while increasing business agility, organizations need to determine how best to employ IoT-enabled business models that promote sustainable competitive advantage.

The global tourism reality is changing, and not only because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This reality is especially representative in countries such as Spain, which are highly dependent on the income generated by the tourism sector. In these destinations, it is necessary to seek innovation and specialization in the sector in order to achieve new business models. This need is even more pressing in destinations overcrowded by the sun and beach effect, as is the case of Mallorca. The proposed work combines the concepts of sports tourism with the development of a wealth-generating business model that will contribute to promoting a tourism that is sustainable, environmentally friendly and deseasonalized. On the other hand, the proposed work will contribute to promoting integration and equality in the participation of women in sports through the development of a model based on the promotion of women’s football. Using the methodology of case analysis, the results of all the approaches outlined are provided, and we obtained a wealth-generation model that is easily replicable and sustainable over time. This work provides a solution to the combination of a sustainable business model that links responsible tourism, the promotion of women’s sport and the generation of wealth.

AbstractIn times of increasing concerns and extensive political debates about social and environmental problems, incumbent firms are obliged to reduce their negative environmental impact by implementing sustainable business model innovation. Yet, realizing more sustainable business model variants entails several complexities and associated challenges that need to be overcome. To support this task, this article takes an entrepreneurship perspective on sustainable business model innovation and combines literature of business models and entrepreneurial lean thinking (ELT). In doing so, it derives a workshop design grounded in contemporary theory with state-of-the-art tools and methods. The workshop is framed as a stage-gate process facilitating the notions of ELT with iterative cycles of ‘create, test, and improve’ and spans the phases of opportunity identification, opportunity evaluation, opportunity development through sustainable business model design, and decision of opportunity exploitation. The article shows that ELT is an appropriate yet underutilized approach for sustainable business modeling. Further, it discusses how the workshop supports opportunities and mitigate pitfalls of ELT for sustainable business modeling. As such, the findings have theoretical implications for the intersection of sustainability and lean approaches in innovation research as well as implications for practitioners by providing a comprehensive framework to support sustainable business model innovation.
