Abstract
------------
To innovate a business model, companies need to share knowledge with others. However, only limited research exists on how companies capture knowledge from other stakeholders. This study is based on an abductive approach and combines knowledge from prior research projects on business models including data from a preliminary survey, a case study, and a literature review. The knowledge that actors share when innovating their business model and when putting their business model into words will signal the content and form of the actors’ perceptions of value, components of the company’s business model and links with the surroundings. In connecting to the different aspects of the business models and how knowledge can be shared, four challenges are identified, labelled as the knowledge leak, problematisation, rigidity and silo problem.
