Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this paper is to review and synthesise the recent advancements in the business model literature and explore how firms approach business model innovation.
Design/methodology/approach
A systematic review of business model innovation literature was carried out by analysing 219 papers published between 2010 and 2016.
Findings
Evidence reviewed suggests that rather than taking either an evolutionary process of continuous revision, adaptation and fine-tuning of the existing business model or a revolutionary process of replacing the existing business model, firms can explore alternative business models through experimentation, open and disruptive innovations. It was also found that changing business models encompasses modifying a single element, altering multiple elements simultaneously and/or changing the interactions between elements in four areas of innovation: value proposition, operational value, human capital and financial value.
Research limitations/implications
Although this review highlights the different avenues to business model innovation, the mechanisms by which firms can change their business models and the external factors associated with such change remain unexplored.
Practical implications
The business model innovation framework can be used by practitioners as a “navigation map” to determine where and how to change their existing business models.
Originality/value
Because conflicting approaches exist in the literature on how firms change their business models, the review synthesises these approaches and provides a clear guidance as to the ways through which business model innovation can be undertaken.

Abstract
Purpose
Katipuneros RPG: Bisperas ng Himagsikan (Katipuneros RPG: The Eve of the Revolution) is an immersive and gamified theater that engages its “audiences” in the initiation rites of a secret revolutionary movement in the Philippines in 1896. This descriptive qualitative research evaluates such experiential approach to learning history by investigating the experiences and insights of a group of students from the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB), who participated in Katipuneros RPG.
Design/methodology/approach
Textual data obtained from the participants' reflection papers and focus group discussion transcripts were analyzed using open and axial coding.
Findings
Three key themes summarized the participants' learning experiences as they went through the play, as follows: (1) Katipuneros RPG as an immersive, interactive and intrinsically motivating medium for learning history; (2) the knowledge, values and skills that served as facilitating factors for their learning and (3) the insights the participants gained about history and life in general.
Practical implications
The research argues that in Katipuneros RPG, learners take on a more active role in studying history as the “teacher” vanishes in lieu of a learning system the allows students to think critically, reflect and collaborate. The approach integrates elements of development theater, immersive play and gamified learning, as well as the principles of constructivist, play-based and multi-sensorial learning.
Social implications
As an innovative learning tool, it is a viable medium to teach history in the current socio-political context of the Philippines.
Originality/value
The study hopes to contribute to literature on pedagogical approaches for teaching and learning history through immersive environments.
