    Business Model Innovation – the solution for EV producers A qualitative study on Business Model Innovation in the context of Electric Vehicles in the Nordics MASTER THESIS WITHIN: Business Administration NUMBER OF CREDITS: 30 ECTS PROGRAMME OF STUDY: Strategic Entrepreneurship AUTHORS: Jakubas Buchtojarovas, Velislav Malchev JÖNKÖPING May, 2018 1 Master Thesis in Business Administration Title: Business Model Innovation – the solution for EV producers A qualitative study on Business Model Innovation in the context of Electric Vehicles in the Nordics Authors: Jakubas Buchtojarovas and Velislav Malchev Tutor: Naveed Akhter Date: 2018-05-21 Key terms: Business Model, Business Model Innovation, Electric Vehicles, Nordics, Electric Mobility, Case study Abstract Electric Vehicles are a growing trend globally and are currently disrupting the conventional automotive industry, therefore firms in the sector need new business models around their new value propositions. The concept of business model innovation presents an interesting point of view towards the challenges those firms face and provide possible solutions for them. Literature on this relatively new topic is scarce and needs more cumulative empirical research. We engage in a multiple-case study and explore how entrepreneurial and incumbent electric vehicle companies in the Nordics use BMI to overcome their biggest challenges and advance the development of the sector. With our findings, we provide an insight of some of the newest advancements in the EV technology, investigate what are the key antecedents, moderators and outcomes of the BMI process for the researched companies and build on the existing literature on the topic. Finally, practitioners can gain better understanding of the concepts of BM and BMI process and their importance for surviving in the dynamic electric vehicle market.

  • Ds & Sm Heritage
    DS & SM HERITAGE DS HERITAGE The story of the DS began long before 1955. The origins of the car go all the way back to 1938, when Citroën Chairman and CEO Pierre Boulanger was thinking about the successor to the Traction Avant. He was convinced that the new car above all had to be comfortable. And so a new project was launched, with the code name VGD, short for «Voiture de Grande Diffusion», or «mass-produced car». He entrusted the project to André Lefèbvre, an aeronautics engineer by training. Alongside these two men, the Citroën team also featured other talented individuals, notably Flaminio Bertoni (sculpture) and Paul Mages (suspension). But with the advent of war, and the ensuing occupation and wartime restrictions, the VGD project was put on hold. The project gradually got back on track after the end of the war. In 1952 L’Auto-Journal published a scoop, in the form of a drawing of the future Citroën and its technical characteristics. Citroën did its utmost to hush up the affair by taking the magazine to court. The brand wanted to keep the project a secret at all costs. 4 In October 1955, a bombshell hit the 42nd Paris Motor Show. A car took centre stage on the Citroën stand: the DS 19. A flying saucer, with bright colours and a magic word, «oleo-pneumatic», a system that appeared to do everything in the driver’s place. From the suspension and brakes to the steering and gearbox, softness was the keyword. Only the engine was conventional. But it wasn’t just about technology.

  • Renault Sport Racing Press Pack 2020
    FOREWORD This year, Renault will continue its very proud and long-standing history in Formula 1 into a new decade, our sixth consecutive in the sport. We are in the midst of an interesting period, as we continue to engage within established global markets, while simultaneously developing our brand and its awareness in bigger areas like China and India within the widespread transformation of the automotive industry. Our commitment to Formula 1 has led to inventive marketing initiatives to increase awareness of, and commitment to, our brand. I look forward in particular to supporting new activations from Groupe Renault and its markets around E-Tech technology, which has been inspired by long-standing Formula 1 innovation. Our presence in the sport is also a unique opportunity for the team’s partners and sponsors to build relationships with one of the most important car manufacturers in the world, and for Renault to benefit from their know-how in their respective fields. 2020 is also an important transition year for the team. We aim to recapture the positive momentum from our first three years since returning to Formula 1 while preparing for next season, which will represent a new cycle for all teams. Having completed our initial construction phase, we are more determined than ever to be ready to attack and take advantage of the 2021 technical changes. 2020 is also the last year under the current agreements that govern Formula 1’s commercial rights. The new agreements and rules, already in advanced negotiation, should represent a new opportunity for Renault Sport Racing and for Renault to take part in a more balanced, competitive sport.
