Abstract

Scholars and practitioners argue that smaller ventures can embark on new growth trajectories through business model innovation (BMI). There are, however, scarce insights into BMI and its driving forces among new and smaller ventures. This limits our insight into how BMI can help such ventures to grow beyond a small scale. This article uses resource-based theory to develop a conceptual model where managerial ties enable BMI through the sourcing of resources from ecosystems and incubator communities embedding the focal venture. Analysis of survey data provides considerable empirical support for this model. Overall, the article clarifies the theoretical relationship between managerial ties and BMI, and the role of the external environment within the context of resource-based theory.
