Title: “The evolution of industry-level Business Models in manufacturing: a multi-industry perspective”
by Prof. Yan Cimon, Université Laval, Quebec, Canada
Abstract:
Recent "booms and busts", like the Dot-com bubble or the Great Recession, have contributed to the reshaping of entire industries. Through the restructuring that follows such events, value creation patterns at the industry level shift dramatically. These shifts have important, yet misunderstood, implications for business models at the industry level. The purpose of this paper is to examine how business models evolve at the industry level in periods of accelerated growth and sudden crashes. Three industries at different stages and different points in time are examined using a mixed-methods approach: Telecom equipment manufacturing, automotive, as well as aerospace and defence. Preliminary findings indicate that these industries, even though manufacturing-focused, offer divergent responses. This may indicate the inadequacy of "one size-fits-all" responses. The implications for academics and managers alike are far-reaching: the future may well be off the beaten path.
