Exploring the impact of collaborative business models: a systematic review of recent research

Abstract

Collaborative business models have emerged as a prominent paradigm in contemporary business practice, fostering cooperation among diverse stakeholders to achieve shared goals. This systematic review investigates the impact of collaborative business models by synthesizing recent scholarly research in the field. Drawing upon a comprehensive analysis of peer-reviewed articles published between 2010 and 2022, this study examines the theoretical frameworks, empirical findings, and methodological approaches utilized in understanding the effects of collaborative business models across various industries and contexts. Through a structured examination of key themes such as innovation, value creation, sustainability, and competitive advantage, this review offers insights into the mechanisms through which collaborative business models influence organizational performance and societal outcomes. Moreover, it identifies gaps in the current literature and proposes avenues for future research to advance our understanding of collaborative business models and their implications for business strategy and public policy. Ultimately, this systematic review contributes to the scholarly discourse on collaborative business models and provides valuable guidance for practitioners and policymakers seeking to harness the potential of collaboration for sustainable economic development and societal well-being.
