Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to provide a theoretically grounded framework for designing and analysing business models for (mobile) information communication technology (ICT) services and systems.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper reviews the most topical literature on business modelling, as well as general strategic management, industrial economics and network economics literature, it also constructs a new integrated framework.

Findings

The study finds that business model design is interpreted as the (re)configuration of control parameters on the one hand, and value parameters on the other hand within a particular innovation system.

Originality/value

The paper is informed by a wide range of theories and approaches and proposes an improved and generally applicable framework.
