Abstract: |
| Based on intentions model and knowledge based view, this study explores the relationship between entrepreneurial alertness(EA) and business model innovation(BMI), and puts forward a moderated mediation framework to handle the questions of how to achieve business model innovation. The hypotheses are examined by collecting data from 150 firms through survey. As a result, the paper unfolds that (1) EA facilitates BMI, (2) explorative learning and exploitative learning mediate the relationship between EA and BMI, and the mediating effects are different, (3) risk perception moderates the mediating effects of different learning approaches, and then affects the relationship between EA and BMI. |
