Our research on “Business Model Ideation: An Experimental Approach for the Evaluation of Team-Based Methods” has been accepted to be presented at the EURAM Annual conference in Rotterdam, 6-8 June 2012.
Abstract excerpt:
We have conducted a comprehensive literature review and develop a model to examine the effectiveness of different methods for the generation of business model ideas. The model comprises both objective and subjective effectiveness measures. In a first empirical application of the model in an experimental setting, we have compared the effectiveness of the business model innovation canvas, collaborative sketching, and brainstorming to generate novel business model ideas. The initial results suggest that the model is suitable for comparing different methods: it discerns key indicators of effectiveness, important tradeoffs between quantity and quality of ideas, and between satisfaction and the ability to select the best idea.
