Abstract:

Based on the theory of business model of the stakeholder's deal structure, this paper chooses five enterprises which have achieved revolutionarily high-growth to discuss the content of business model innovation, and the relationship between business model innovation and high-growth with the exploratory method of case study. Our study shows that business model innovation of the enterprises with high-growth is different from that of the enterprises adopting traditional business strategy, as well as that of those with moderate or no growth. It's a distinctive business innovation composed of five elements that move in circles, including: (1) the business model concept (mental model); (2) observation; (3) the business model design; (4) the implementation of business model innovation: test, correction, maintenance or enhancement, reformation; (5) investment options. Our study also finds that the enterprises with high-growth have carried out the deal structure innovation with the STIEF model of value creation, as well as long-term investment based on business model rather than investment portfolio returns, and then set up new market through the big bang disruption or non-destructive innovation.

Key words: business model innovation, high-growth, deal structure, STIEF model, long-term investment, the big bang disruption
