Aim and scope
It is known that firms differ in their innovation modes. According to Markides (1997) and Tucker (2001) strategic innovation occurs when firms break ``the rules of the game'' and identify new ways to compete. Markides (1997) argues further that a prerequisite to strategic innovation is an honest and fundamental questioning of the mental models or industry recipes that seem to govern the behavior of any individual or organization. Tucker (2001) argues that strategic innovation is, first and foremost, an act of imagination – the ability to define a new business model which will work better from a customer's viewpoint in a way that will bring profit to the marketing company.
Business model innovation involves major changes to the way a company makes money, or, for a new company to the industry, may involve a rejection of the business model prevalent in an industry. Osterwalder et al. (2005) observe that research in business models is maturing, although ``researchers do not yet rely on each other's work and findings extensively''. To date there remains considerable discussion about ``what a business model is''; and this is in common with views concerning intellectual capital research (Pike and Roos, 2007). What is missing so far is to take the more modern views of Business Model Innovation, e.g. Osterwalder's approach and observe them from an IC perspective.
