- Green construction or sustainable construction differs from traditional construction in terms of the materials and processes used. To profit from green construction, firms may need to change their business models, including their offers, activities, networks and revenue models. However there is no explicit study on what changes are required or common in construction companies' business models when they are involved in green construction projects. To systematize prior research a literature review identified changes in business model elements. The results showed that (1) most business model elements can change in a non-trivial manner as a consequence of green construction; (2) value configuration, cost structure, partner networks and capability are the elements emphasized in literature and are expected to be the most difficult and important to change; and (3) to be successful, firms may need to simultaneously change the business model elements of capability, value configuration and partner network on the one hand, and value proposition, cost structure and capability on the other hand. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recently, concepts such as green or sustainable construction have been much emphasized in the literature. At present there is no systematic study on how these changes in the construction industry are expected to alter the business model of a construction-related company. This paper is the first attempt to remedy this situation by providing an overview of changes of business model elements as they have been dealt within the construction literature. The paper derives a set of constructs and reviews papers and books published after 1990. The preliminary results indicate that a) any business model element can change as a consequence of green construction; b) partner networks, core competency, value configuration and cost structure may be the most likely elements to change and c) some business model element and their changes may "go in pairs" such as core competency, value configuration and partner network on the one hand, and value proposition, cost structure and core competency on the other hand.

- The paper investigates how technological change in an industry influence which individuals will identify and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities. We propose that the introduction of new development tools will change knowledge-barriers to entry because they enable the abstraction of specialized knowledge that was previously needed for development. Empirically we test the argument using data from the web design industry in a Nordic country during the period 1992-2003. We compare the education and experience of founders before and after the introduction of web administration tools in 1998 and find a significant difference, which supports the main thesis of our argument.
