Revisiting carbon lock-in in energy systems: Explaining the perpetuation of coal power in Japan (2020, background): “Learning curves and economies of scale are a major cause of increasing returns as the costs of technology production or utilisation fall over time while quality, reliability and expertise all increase [20,30,58].”
Characterising B Corps as a sustainable business model: An exploratory study of B Corps in Australia (2017, methodology): “Bohnsack et al.

Incumbents and business model innovation for the sharing economy: Implications for sustainability (2019, background): “The cases found for internal development showed that this mode, as highlighted by extant literature (Bohnsack et al., 2014; Halme et al., 2012), is particularly challenging due to structural and cognitive barriers, which may limit the degree of experimentation in favour of changes that are ‘closer t”
Sustainable business models as boundary-spanning systems of value transfers (2018, methodology): “Finally, we demonstrate that using a boundary-spanning perspective on BMs is complementary to the often applied component-based perspective on BMs (Bocken et al., 2014; Bohnsack et al., 2014; Morris et al., 2005; Osterwalder and Pigneur, 2010; Rosca et al., 2016).”
