Very early phase business models under investigation

Hanna Rydehell, a researcher from the Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, is visiting Martti Ahtisaari Institute in September 2017. She is affiliated at the Division of Innovation and R&D Management in Chalmers, where she conducts research on very early phase business models of new technology-based firms.

Hanna is interested in how these models relate to firm performance, especially how entrepreneurs perceive and prioritize firm development. However, she investigates also what roles other stakeholders and their networks play. The initial results of Hanna's research are available, for example, in the following publications:

• Rydehell et al. 2016. Initial configurations and business models in new technology-based firms. Published in the Journal of Business Models.
• Rydehell & Buffart 2015. Business Model Measurements: A Systematic Literature Review. Presented in RENT XXIX – Research in Entrepreneurship and Small Business, Zagreb, November 18-20, 2015.
