Abstract: This paper will look into how persuasive technologies can be applied into business models
in specific business models that apply change in social, society and ecological behavior.
We look at which of these business models succeed and which do not and address what
abilities and triggers we might increase to change not only attitude but also behavior, when
applying business models based on positive ecological, social and society behavior.
Focusing on a well-established step-wise persuasion innovation process we start out by
identifying past experiences with these types of business model and micro-payments
introduced to support change in ecological, social and society behavior.
The pivotal question being, how we get people to make a micro-payment when
supporting Business Model´s applying positivesocial, society and ecological behavior.
Finally we will brush-upon, how the suggested persuasive business models in a business
model context, might also be adapted into other business models and lines of behavior with
similar feats. In context of the latter, it is suggested, that there is a potential new business
model eco-system on the rise in this field. In order to counteract these effects and create
leverage the idea of performing a bundle of business models – a multi business model
approach - with persuasive technology embedded is introduced.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to uncover how globalization affects the concept of business
model (BM) and business model innovation (BMI). BM and BMI theories will be related
to two business cases—IBM and Boeing—to support the authors’ conceptualization of the
future evolution of BMs and BMIs in relation to globalization.
The paper proposes that BMs should not present a snapshot of a business’s present or
future way of operating BMs when compared to globalization. It is deemed that a
definition of a global business model (GBM) is needed to embrace the opportunities and
challenges created by globalization. It is furthermore suggested that a GBM should be
agile and dynamic in order to create a sustainable GBM which will suffice in the new
globalized world. A liquidized BM that refers to the non-static appearance of future BMs
is proposed.
The amount of literature concerning BMs and globalization has increased in recent
years. However, literature based on the relation among the two areas is considered limited.
The paper attempts to fill this gap in literature.
The paper focuses on the following research question:
- "How can a global business model be defined?"

Abstract: Too many businesses are being marginalized by blind "business model innovations
(BMIs)" and simple "BMIs". As documented in previous research (Markides 2008,
Lindgren 2012), most businesses perform BMIs at a reactive level i.e. perceiving what the
market, customers and network partners might want rather than what they actually
demand.
Few businesses have the ability to proactively lead BMIs and on a strategic level lead
BMIs to something that fits the business’s long term perspective (Hamel 2011). Apple,
Ryanair, Facebook, Zappo are some businesses that have shown BMI Leadership (BMIL)
in a proactive way - and more importantly, as some examples of first level BMIL.
The overall aim of the BMIL is to prevent businesses from being marginalized by the
BMI and thereby to optimize the business’s total BMI investment.
The literature research and case research we studied gave us some important
inspiration, themes and baseline for conceptualizing BMIL and to formulate a framework
proposing the BMIL strategy process. It also points to some of the requirements that
should be taken into consideration and included to become successful via the BMI.
The paper focuses on the following research question:
- "How can businesses gain strategic advantage and learn business survival via
BMIL?"
