A chapter in Business Models for Sustainability Transitions, 2021, pp 59-88 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract To realise sustainability transitions, firms need to collaborate in networks and carry out system-changing activities. In this way, they pro-actively build a more sustainable system and change the environment in which they operate. This in turn will help them to market their own sustainable product or service. Partners in a network can co-develop a ‘networked business model’, which takes on a systemic perspective and helps them to align their sustainability efforts. This latter model comprises transition goals, system-building activities, system resources, benefits created for stakeholders and costs to the network. The networked business model feeds into each network member’s individual firm-centric business model and vice versa. The business models at the firm level and the system level are interconnected and mutually influence one another.
