Abstract
The main contribution of this dissertation sits at the intersection of sustainability and business model innovation, presenting the most relevant elements that drive the acceptance of any sustainable business model innovation practice. After a general introduction, in the second chapter, we conceptually and qualitatively explore those elements and propose expanding the current knowledge and toolbox for sustainable business model innovation with the Lean Startup practice: This is an alternative way of producing sustainable business model innovation which introduces a more experimental and non-linear way. Therefore, firstly, this dissertation is an approach to answering the following question: How can Lean Startup serve as a practice to create sustainable business models?
We have identified a second complementary question: What are the elements that drive the entrepreneurs’ usage of Lean Startup and conventional New Product Development when developing sustainable business models and how are these elements meeting those elements? In the third and fourth chapters, we explore the comparison of stage-gate practices and Lean Startup in a sample of Spanish entrepreneurs (N=234). We identify the factors influencing the entrepreneur’s election of the practices to develop sustainable business model innovation after conducting an empirical analysis applying a sound behavioral framework and the PLS-SEM algorithms to factor out those elements―we modeled eleven constructs: Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Hedonic Motivation, Habit, Costs, Speed, Funding, Security and Behavioral Intention.
