Abstract. The business model (BM) concept has become a major area of Raphaël Maucuer
interest in Management literature, leading to the publication of a host of ESSCA School of Management
literature reviews and essays aimed at synthesizing and interpreting the France
development of BM research. Yet these general analyses have largely raphael.maucuer@essca.fr
neglected the specificities of the two main disciplines in which the BM
Alexandre Renaud
concept is anchored: Strategic Management and Innovation &
EM Normandie
Entrepreneurship. Accordingly, this article seeks to explore the intellectual
France
roots and current trends of these disciplines to refine our understanding of arenaud@em-normandie.fr
the development of the BM literature.
We draw on a mixed bibliometric analysis based on two samples of,
respectively, 208 and 345 articles published in Strategic Management and
Innovation & Entrepreneurship. This analysis enables us to compare the
theoretical pillars (co-citation analysis) and research fronts (bibliographic
coupling analysis) of BM research in these two foundational disciplines.
Our results suggest a certain homogeneity within both the theoretical
pillars of the disciplines and the incremental diversification of their
research fronts. In light of these findings, we consider the future of the BM
literature and accordingly propose a twofold developmental strategy for it.

CO-CITATION ANALYSIS
CCA enables one to investigate both the intellectual core of a 1. Interestingly, only a handful of
research set and its invisible colleges (Crane, 1972; De Solla Price, 1965; studies have applied these two
techniques simultaneously (Kovacs,
Noma, 1984), i.e. groups of regularly co-cited documents that belong to the
Van Looy & Cassiman, 2015; Van
same research tradition. In turn, CCA can reveal the theoretical Oorschot, Hofman & Halman, 2015;
underpinnings and key assumptions that govern a particular research field. Walsh & Renaud, 2017).

will be. In this study, we used the same samples for both our CCA and our
BCA 2. The second stage of BCA is to compute the bibliographic coupling
indexes between each document. As discussed above, these bibliographic
indexes are subject to scale effects (Van Eck & Waltman, 2009) and must
therefore be normalized. As for our CCA, we used the association strength
method proposed by VosViewer, and in turn computed the “total link
strength index”3 for each document. The resulting first-order sample was
sizable, and it was accordingly necessary to reduce the scope of our
analysis to focus on documents that structured the research front, i.e.
articles with a higher “total link” strength index. Following this, we identified
three kinds of articles: (i) articles sharing many references with very few
others (niche articles), (ii) articles sharing few references with many others
(link articles), and (iii) articles sharing many references with many others
(central articles). We then determined the threshold of the sample through
a trial-and-error process, striking a balance between statistical relevance
and the significance of the resulting data (Zupic & Čater, 2015). Finally, we
split this research front into clusters using VosViewer.

growth” and “maturity” phases of BM research. This approach has been the
subject of the vast majority of the publications that deal with BMs. In
considering the inherent limitations of this essentialist approach, some
authors (Baden-Fuller & Mangematin, 2013; Doganova & Eyquem-Renault,
2009) have promoted a new perspective and a research agenda based on
a cognitive approach to BMs, both aimed at investigating a number of
challenging issues in more depth, including BM design in emerging firms,
the emergence of new BMs in mature firms, and more generally BM
innovation. On average, the articles in Cluster 2 were published in 2013, a
date that corresponds to the “maturity” phase of BM research. During this
period, researchers can be seen proposing new approaches aimed at
diversifying and enriching the content of the literature.
Relatedly, we observe that the literature is still relatively locked in a
conceptual debate in which one approach is set against the other. This
debate largely considers a BM to be a theoretical object rather than a
heuristic that can be used to address topical issues. This is consistent with
the analysis provided in our introduction concerning the literature’s
concentration on defining BMs. It also accounts for the existence of a pool
of highly cited authors in these clusters, which can be understood as
having laid the foundations for the concept itself: Amit; Baden-Fuller;
Casadesus-Masanell; Demil; Lecocq; Ricart; Zott; etc. (see Cluster Set 3,
“empowerment of the concept”, Table 9). In light of this, the dynamics of
the literature must be strengthened with the aim of overcoming the esoteric
debates about BM ontology and of thus producing research that is more
receptive to real-life preoccupations. To this end, special issues could play
a valuable role in opening new publication spaces dedicated to trending
topics.

into question the boundaries of firms in the context of BM innovation. In
sum, this analysis reveals the maturity of the BM research in the Innovation
& Entrepreneurship literature and highlights the role that it plays in the
diversification of the themes addressed by the BM literature.
Indeed, in contrast with the Strategic Management literature, the
Innovation & Entrepreneurship literature has nurtured, as a matter of
priority, the development of topical issues directly connected to managers’
concerns. For instance, the articles of Clusters 1, 2 and 4 provide insights
into the antecedents and effects of BM innovation; Clusters 3 and 5 offer
guidelines for managers to deal with the inclusion of external actors. We
believe that the Innovation & Entrepreneurship literature remains one step
ahead of the Strategic Management literature, as it is able to build on
different conceptual perspectives in order to develop original research
rooted in managers’ and entrepreneurs’ concerns. For their part, Sabatier
et al. (2012) draw on the essentialist approach of BMs in analyzing the link
between technological discontinuities and disruption, whereas Osiyevskyy
