  • Developing Business Models in the Video Game Industry an Evaluation to Strategic Choices Made by Small and Medium-Sized Development Studios
    Developing Business Models in the Video Game Industry An evaluation to strategic choices made by small and medium-sized development studios Master‟s Thesis within IT & Management Author: Christiaan Visser Peter Zijlstra Tutor: Andrea Resmini Jönköping June, 2012 Master‟s Thesis in IT & Management Title: Developing Business Models in the Video Game Industry Author: Christiaan Visser & Peter Zijlstra Tutor: Andrea Resmini Date: 2012-06-06 Subject terms: Video Game Industry, Independent Business Model Development, Digitalization, Paradigm Shift Abstract Digitalization has given rise to new opportunities for small and medium-sized video game development studios. No longer bound by physical products and creative restrains, the de- veloper has been empowered with independency. This qualitative study is aimed to under- stand how a development studio develops their business model and how underlying strate- gy is formulated. Additionally we evaluate the degree of innovativeness of the business model in terms of radical and incremental innovation according to Damanpour (1991). To achieve this we present a comprehensive literature review as to gain a more theoretical un- derstanding of industry mechanics and to be able to comprehend reasoning behind existing business models. We structure the dynamics of the business model by analyzing nine busi- ness model aspects as suggested by Osterwalder, Pigneur and Clark (2010). Following our theoretical framework we gain practical input from four separate case studies. An interpret- ative research method is used to gain better understanding of reasoning and choices made. We interpret our findings following a narrative approach which shows that the digitaliza- tion has preluded a paradigm shift in the sense that development studios have started to adopt activities otherwise performed by key partners.
