  • business Models for sustainable innovation state of the art and steps towards a research agenda
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2013
    Co-Authors: Frank Boons, Florian Ludekefreund
    Abstract:

    The aim of this paper is to advance research on sustainable innovation by adopting a business Model perspective. Through a confrontation of the literature on both topics we find that research on sustainable innovation has tended to neglect the way in which firms need to combine a value proposition, the organization of the upstream and downstream value chain and a Financial Model in order to bring sustainable innovations to the market. Therefore, we review the current literature on business Models in the contexts of technological, organizational and social innovation. As the current literature does not offer a general conceptual definition of sustainable business Models, we propose examples of normative requirements that business Models should meet in order to support sustainable innovations. Finally, we sketch the outline of a research agenda by formulating a number of guiding questions.

  • business Model innovation for resource efficiency circularity and cleaner production what 143 cases tell us
    Ecological Economics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Fernando Diaz J Lopez, Ton Bastein, Arnold Tukker
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper analyses 143 cases about the implementation of various and often interlinked, integrative, Resource Efficiency Measures (REMs). These REMs have been brought in a framework distinguishing on the one hand a cluster of supply side measures, demand side measures and life cycle measures with a synergistic mode of operation. They further have been related to clear classes or Business Model Changes (BMCs) that can support their implementation, notably changes in the supply chain (SC), internal processes (IP), customer interface (CI), Financial Model (FM) and the value proposition (VP). The BMCs were further characterised in terms of typical Implementation Barriers (IBs) that were reported in the cases, i.e. institutional, market, organisational, behavioural and technological barriers. Our study could not confirm some common theoretical wisdom, such as that firms mainly focus on ‘simple’ REMs like cleaner production and green products. Indeed, we could not confirm that REMs with a high scope and degree of change, often perceived as complex to implement, faced more Implementation Barriers than others. In general most Implementation Barriers play a role in all types of REMs and BMCs, although also some weak patterns were found. Internal processes BMCs were mainly hampered by institutional and technological factors. Value proposition and Financial Model BMCs faced mainly behavioural and market barriers. Customer interface BMCs encountered additionally organisational barriers, while supply chain BMCs face a mix of all classes of barriers distinguished in this study. This is one of the first studies on business Models and resource-efficiency looking at a large set of cases which is a step forward from the single case studies that dominate current literature. Yet, follow-up research should overcome weaknesses in our approach, such as a possible bias towards success cases and be more quantitative in analysing the effort it takes to overcome IBs.

  • multiparty game research and example analysis in supply chain finance system based on mpde theory
    alexandria engineering journal, 2020
    Co-Authors: Xia Peng, Martin Stuart
    Abstract:

    Abstract Under the supply chain Financial Model, Financial institutions (such as commercial banks) no longer supply directly to financing companies, but instead face the entire supply chain. Now this Model has become a new area to solve the financing difficulties of SMEs. In the supply chain finance system, each node on the chain can pursue its own best interests. The core nodes (commercial banks, small and medium-sized enterprises, third-party logistics companies) can coordinate and monitor their behavior with each other, and can achieve mutual benefit and efficient operation of the supply chain. This paper studies the theory of meshless partial differential equations (MPDE), and uses game theory and information economics theories and methods to establish corresponding multiparty game Models. The application of this game Model to the members of supply chain finance was explored. Mathematical derivation and example analysis prove that the Model is reasonable, and it also provides a way to make the supply chain operate most efficiently and maximize the benefits.

  • portfolio optimisation under non linear drawdown constraints in a semimartingale Financial Model
    Finance and Stochastics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Vladimir Cherny, Jan Obloj
    Abstract:

    A drawdown constraint forces the current wealth to remain above a given function of its maximum to date. We consider the portfolio optimisation problem of maximising the long-term growth rate of the expected utility of wealth subject to a drawdown constraint, as in the original setup of Grossman and Zhou (Math. Finance 3:241–276, 1993). We work in an abstract semimartingale Financial market Model with a general class of utility functions and drawdown constraints. We solve the problem by showing that it is in fact equivalent to an unconstrained problem with a suitably modified utility function. Both the value function and the optimal investment policy for the drawdown problem are given explicitly in terms of their counterparts in the unconstrained problem.
