This book explores how theories of cognition inform our theoretical understanding of business models and business model innovation. A business model can either be viewed as an objective description of an activity system, or as an abstract, conceptual, and perceptual construct, that is the result of cognition. From this second point of view, the business model becomes a schematic mental model that is created, shaped, and shared over time. In other words, managers hold in their mind perceptual constructs that constitute schemas of the business model.This book examines how the underlying processes of the creation, shaping, and sharing of business (mental) models take place at individual, organizational, and even inter-organizational levels. Theories of managerial and organizational cognition are explored to inform our understanding of business modelling and business model innovation. The reader is thus provided with an overview of existing literature and reflections on future avenues of research to explore the cognitive foundations of business modelling.

In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird mit Hilfe einer systemtheoretischen Perspektive untersucht, wie Nachhaltigkeitsratings zu einer sinnvollen Gesellschaft beitragen. In einer grundlegenden Einführung in die Systemtheorie wird erklärt, wie die Selbsterhaltung von sozialen Systemen durch neuen Sinn ermöglicht wird, der auf weiteren Sinn verweist. Daraufhin wird die Notwendigkeit einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung der Gesellschaft systemtheoretisch dargestellt, indem ein pathologisches Wirtschaftssystem beschrieben wird, das die eigene Umwelt zerstört und dadurch immer weniger sinnvolle Anschlussoperationen findet, die weiteren Sinn ermöglichen. Zudem wird erläutert, wie aus systemtheoretischer Sicht ein nachhaltiges Wirtschaftssystem operiert. Es wird ausgeführt, wie durch eine begrenzte Reflexion neuer Sinn für das Wirtschaftssystem erzeugt wird, der im Einklang steht mit den gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten und somit die wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Selbsterhaltung langfristig sicherstellt. Anhand von Nachhaltigkeitsratings wird dann ein konkretes Beispiel angeführt, wie Entscheidungen mit einer begrenzten Reflexion in Unternehmen zu einer solchen sinnvollen Ökonomie beitragen.
