Cross‐sectoral collaboration in business model innovation for sustainable development: Tensions and compromises
研究城市规划者和房地产开发商在可持续出行商业模式开发中,制度逻辑和权力如何影响利益与依赖,并解释冲突利益与强相互依赖下的妥协机制。
Abstract Cross‐sectoral collaboration is argued to be vital for business model innovation for sustainability and the tension‐filled choices it involves but brings its own complexities. We therefore investigate how institutional logics and power affect the interests and dependencies of City planners and real‐estate developers involved in developing a business model for sustainable mobility. Through analyzing how partners deal with tension‐filled choices regarding business model elements, we develop a model to explain how compromises are made in partnerships characterized by conflicting interests coupled to strong interdependencies. We finish by cautioning that conflicting interests and power characteristics may delimit the potential for such cross‐sectoral collaborations to contribute to sustainable development in sectors where public actors are used to rely on their authority.
