Abstract:

It is becoming more and more common for companies to adopt more than two business models based on strategic objectives. However, it is not clear how companies can integrate the relationship between different business models and how they affect business model conflicts and corporate performance. Based on the clear definition of the business model integration concept, this paper considers the contingency impact of resource flexibility and competition intensity, and focuses on the analysis of the impact of business model integration on business model conflicts and corporate performance. The results show that:(1) business model integration can be divided into business model value proposition integration, business model value creation integration and business model value acquisition integration. The three dimensions of business model integration have a significant weakening effect on business model conflicts. (2) Business model conflicts play a significant intermediary role between business model integration and corporate performance. (3) Resource flexibility plays a significant role in the adjustment of business model value creation, value acquisition integration on business model conflicts. The more flexible resources are, the stronger inhibition business model value creation and the value acquisition integration will have on business model conflicts. Competition intensity plays a significant role in regulating business model conflicts and corporate performance. The more intensive competition is, the more significant negative impact business model conflicts will have on firm performance.

Key words: business model integration, integration, conflict, corporate performance
