on the assumption that design choices are influenced by multiple factors in our environment and our past experiences (Snowdon & Boone, 2007). The scheme

forward-looking disruptive ideas.

13. Business model
inertia
Many companies fail not because they do
something wrong, but because they keep
doing what used to be right thing for too long -
and thus suffer from the rigidity of their own
business models. (Doz and Kosonen, 2010)
14. Business model
innovation
There are many reasons why the incremental innovation doesnt just
grow into the [disruptive] world. The strategy is a hindrance to free
thinking, at least for the grant portion of the innovation, but perhaps
also for the development of new business models for existing services.
We can also see that the risk picture becomes much more diffused in
the [disruptive] innovation world because we have no experience in
these new areas. (p. 616) (Elkj脱r, 2011)
Tabula rasa rationality
[Disruptive] innovation requires a product or service in terms of tabula rasa, which mentally can be
an almost insurmountable barrier in the innovation process. (p. 616) (Elkj脱r, 2011)

The concept of a business model lacks theoretical grounding in economics or in business studies ... [the absence of]
business models in economic theory probably stems from the ubiquity of theoretical constructs that have markets solving
the problems that in the real world business models are created to solve. Source: Teece, D. (2010:175, emphasis
