Our focus
The Business Models Research Group’s research and projects focus on future-oriented business models in which organising sustainable, multiple and smart value creation is key. We do this through two lines of research: Circular Business Models (CBM) and Business Model Transformation (BMT).
In our online and on-site Business Model Lab, we make digitalisation a practical tool for developing sustainable and forward-looking organisations.
Circular Business Models (CBM)
The CBM research line explores the issues surrounding the design and management of sustainable, circular and inclusive organisations and networks. Research and activities are concerned with achieving economic stability, ecological regeneration and equitable access to sustainable resources, both now and in the future.
Business Model Transformation (BMT)
The BMT line of research explores and develops practical knowledge, methods and tools that help organisations transform into meaningful systems in a sustainable society. We investigate how digital innovation contributes to the development, monitoring and recording of new value sets and how systems can be set up to achieve the desired transformation to smart, sustainable organisations.
Business Model Lab
We translate many of our research findings into practical applications and tools for entrepreneurs, organisations and students. We are digitalising these tools and making them available at our online Business Model Lab. We organise training courses and in-depth sessions at our physical Business Model Lab in Enschede or on location.
