 Business model innovation for urban smartizationFrancesco Schiavone, Francesco Paolone and Daniela Mancini Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2019, vol. 142, issue C, 210-219 Abstract: We present an integrative literature review of the strategic management literature to identify, critically evaluate and integrate the findings of all relevant, high-quality individual studies conducted on business modelling in smart cities. The aim of this work is to investigate how a metropolitan city must organize and re-configure the building blocks of its business model to become a smart city. We explore whether cities innovate their business models to become smart. To answer to this question, we conduct an integrative literature review of the strategic management literature published from 2007 to 2016 in top scientific journals, from which we identify the main drivers and factors used by policy-makers and corporate managers to promote the “smartization” of their urban contexts. We then discuss the results of our review based on the Canvas framework of business modelling. Finally, we present implications for policy-makers, scholars and managers.
