Abstract
Although scholars recognize the need to integrate stakeholders into business model innovation (BMI), little research has been done on the link between stakeholders’ roles and young ventures’ BMI, particularly in the accelerator context. We addressed this research gap by conducting a longitudinal multi-case study in two corporate accelerators using semi-structured interviews, observations and documentation from young ventures’ perspective. Our results offer a more granular understanding of how different stakeholders enable the configuration of young ventures’ initial BM and spur BMI. Specifically, the study provides some original insights into accelerator ecosystems, networking activities and the contributions of both to young ventures’ BMI.
Keywords:
- Business model innovation,
- stakeholder roles,
- corporate accelerator,
- young ventures
Résumé
Les chercheurs reconnaissent la nécessité d’intégrer les parties prenantes dans l’innovation des business model (IBM), cependant le lien entre les rôles des parties prenantes et l’IBM des jeunes entreprises reste peu étudié, en particulier dans le contexte des accélérateurs. Nous avons mené une étude longitudinale multi-cas dans deux accélérateurs en utilisant des entretiens semi-directifs, des observations et des données secondaires. Nos résultats offrent une compréhension plus granulaire de la façon dont les différentes parties prenantes permettent la reconfiguration du BM initial des jeunes entreprises et gênèrent l’IBM. Plus précisément, l’étude fournit des apports originaux sur les écosystèmes des accélérateurs, les activités de mise en réseau et leur contribution à l’IBM des jeunes entreprises.

Resumen
Aunque los investigadores reconocen la necesidad de integrar a las partes interesadas en la innovación del modelo de negocio (IMN), la relación entre el papel de las partes interesadas y la IMN de las empresas de reciente creación sigue sin estar suficientemente estudiada, sobre todo en el contexto de las aceleradoras. Realizamos un estudio longitudinal de casos múltiples en dos aceleradores utilizando entrevistas semiestructuradas, observaciones y bibliografía. Nuestros resultados proporcionan una comprensión más detallada de cómo las diferentes partes interesadas contribuyen a dar forma al modelo de negocio de las start-ups y a estimular los INM. En particular, el estudio ofrece una visión original de los ecosistemas de aceleración, las actividades de creación de redes y la contribución de ambos a los INM de nueva creación.
