Business models and business model change have drawn increasing attention from both researchers and practitioners across various disciplines, including the domain of entrepreneurship. However, even though the importance of business model innovation as a driver of firm performance has been widely acknowledged, empirical studies explaining the business model change remain limited. This study contributes to prior research by examining the effects of effectual and causation-based decision-making logics on the degree of business model change in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises in Finland. The findings of hierarchical regression analysis show that both causation and effectuation-based logics have positive effects on business model change, thereby highlighting the need for both strategizing and seizing of opportunities in business model development.

Modele biznesowe i zmiana modelu biznesowego przyciąga rosnącą uwagę zarówno naukowców i praktyków z różnych dziedzin, w tym w dziedzinie przedsiębiorczości. Jednak, chociaż znaczenie innowacyjnego modelu biznesowego jako siły napędowej przedsiębiorstwa jest powszechnie uznawane, badań empirycznych wyjaśniające zmianę modelu biznesowego jest ciągle niewiele. Ta praca wnosi wkład we wcześniejsze badania, analizując skutki stosowania logiki podejmowania decyzji, opartej na zróżnicowanych zasadach wprowadzania w życie i przyczynowości, na stopień zmian modelu biznesowego w kontekście małych i średnich przedsiębiorstw w Finlandii. Wyniki hierarchicznej analizy regresji pokazują, że zarówno obie logiki mają pozytywny wpływ na zmianę modelu biznesowego, podkreślając w ten sposób zarówno konieczność obrania strategii i wykorzystania możliwości w celu rozwijania modelu biznesowego.
