本文探讨了创新商业模式在社会技术系统转型中的作用。我们专注于分散式能源技术，在向更可持续的能源系统过渡的背景下探索商业模式创新。我们进行了实证研究的两个能源服务公司（ESCO）的模型，在英国的热电联产与区域供热（CHP/DH）基础设施的部署。基于这些案例研究，我们说明了地方政府开发商业模式的不同方式，以更有效地利用资源创造和获取价值，并部署可持续技术。借鉴系统理论的商业模式和社会技术文献，我们分析了商业模式，能源基础设施和机构之间的接口。我们建议，基于系统的方法来分析嵌入在其社会技术背景下的商业模式，可以提供新的见解的动态和治理的可持续发展转型。(C)2016年6月，作者。由爱思唯尔公司出版
This paper examines the role of innovative business models in the transformation of socio-technical systems. Focusing on decentralised energy technologies, we explore business model innovation in the context of a transition towards a more sustainable energy system. We conduct an empirical study of two Energy Services Company (ESCo) models for the deployment of combined heat and power with district heating (CHP/DH) infrastructure in the UK. Based on these case studies we illustrate the different ways in which Local Authorities develop business models to create and capture value from more efficient resource use and to deploy sustainable technologies. Drawing from systems theories in the business model and socio-technical literatures, we analyse the interfaces between business models, energy infrastructure and institutions. We propose that a systems based approach to the analysis of business models as embedded in their socio-technical contexts can offer new insights into the dynamics and governance of sustainability transitions.
