Abstract

Even though the characteristics and implications of business models (BMs) have been receiving growing attention, robust empirical evidence on the contribution of BMs to firm performance is still limited. In this study, we first adopt a methodology that permits to retrieve different types of business model starting from firm-level financial and economic data. Then, using a sample of 1,156 Italian manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), we identify an array of business models and assess to what extent the latter contribute to differences in firm performance. The results of the variance component analysis indicate that BMs account, on average, for one-third of the total variance in firm performance.
