Business models in times of disruption: The connected and autonomous vehicles (uncertain) domino effect

Javier Turienzo et al.

Summary: The ongoing digitalization of the economy is posing challenges to traditional businesses in terms of value creation. The disruption potential of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) has the ability to transform business models in the mobility-related industry. However, there is significant uncertainty regarding the technological evolution and social trends that will impact businesses in the near future. This paper aims to use contingency theory to shed light on the enhancers and barriers that managers should consider for creating, delivering, and capturing value associated with CAV. The qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews with high-level managers from different industries highlights the importance of data management for understanding customer needs and vehicle requirements to provide differential value. Two potential solutions have emerged: the establishment of alliances between competing companies in different areas and the use of digital platforms to enhance customer experience and facilitate the evolution of markets from B2C to B2B associated with increasing servitization.

Are sustainable mobility firms reshaping the traditional relationships in the automotive industry value Chain?

Jesus F. Lampon et al.

Summary: The rules of the automotive industry are changing due to sustainable mobility firms that supply essential products and technologies for low environmental impact vehicles. A study comparing relations between sustainable mobility firms and traditional components firms in the Spanish automotive industry found that the former have greater decision-making power in terms of price, product design, and geographical location. They have broken traditional asymmetrical dependence on leading buyers and lead key products in the industry, resulting in profitable returns on investment in sustainable technologies. The novelty lies in understanding the new automotive industry value chain, where sustainable mobility suppliers control key value-added activities and decision-making in sustainable technologies.
