How Business Model Designs Influence Firm Growth in a Transforming Economy: A Configurational Perspective
从组态视角出发，考察转型经济中效率型和创新型商业模式设计如何与公司所有权、发展阶段及外部监管波动性组合，共同驱动企业高增长。基于中国企业的模糊集定性比较分析，发现了五种有效组态，为管理者设计商业模式提供了实用洞见。
ABSTRACT This study adopts a configurational perspective to examine how business model designs and contextual factors in transforming economies combine to create value. We investigate configurations of efficiency-centered and novelty-centered business model designs, corporate ownership, development stage, and external regulatory volatility associated with high growth in a transforming economy. Using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of Chinese firms, we find five solutions associated with superior growth, suggesting that the effective configurations of business model designs vary in different contexts. Our study offers a holistic understanding of the relationship between business model designs and firm growth, and yields useful insights for business model designs for practitioners.
