Abstract: Abstract This section reviews the major research foundations of this thesis. Section 2.1 introduces the software industry as context of the study. The economic relevance of the software industry is increasingly remarkable and it is shaped by some specific economic properties. The following three sections comprise literature reviews covering three research streams being most relevant to this thesis. Firstly, in Section 2.2 research results in the area of business model concepts are presented. This review contains both, generic as well as software industry-specific business model concepts. The proposed constituent components are analyzed and synthesized. Next, in Section 2.3, literature is reviewed that deals with firm performance. Starting with an analysis of generic research results the main focus is on studies focusing on the software industry.
