"This volume will appeal mostly to readers who are looking for a variety of ways to think about linkages between business model change and organizational change. Its strength lies in the diversity of perspectives and examples... The authors of the various chapters aim to open up avenues of inquiry for future research and identify different organizational factors that pose alignment challenges when a firm and/or its rivals change business models, rather than to extend theory." -- Administrative Science Quarterly

"The book tackles an important and timely issue: the interface between organization and business model design. This interface has been surprisingly under-researched, although it is of utmost significance for practicing managers and entrepreneurs. The various chapters in the book link classic organization design issues with business model change and innovation in a compelling manner. A "must read" for both researchers and managers" -- Christoph Zott, Professor of Entrepreneurship, IESE Business School, University of Navara

"Foss and Saebi have assembled a world class group of scholars to critically examine business models, and, importantly, anchor that examination in an underlying theory of organizations. This will be a vital reference for scholars of business models and innovation." -- Henry Chesbrough, UC Berkeley Professor, and author of Open Innovation
