Too little is still known about how practitioners highlight different characteristics of business models across industries confronted with disruptive dynamics. This shortcoming in current debates hampers a better understanding of the context-dependent phenomenon of "disruption", ultimately limiting the development of adequate business strategies for incumbents and entrepreneurs alike. Consequently, we generated a systematic database of communicated business models from 1,095 relevant press releases and company reports published between 1995 and 2019. The business models from the retrieved articles were assigned to their corresponding industry using the Global Industry Categorization Standard (GICS) to allow for diverse categorization. Subsequently, we performed a deductive coding procedure, building on accepted business model component classifications. Our study contributes insights about relevant business model components, drawing on practitioner experiences in the face of disruptive dynamics. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 10 %P 29-42 %8 10/2020 %G eng %U timreview.ca/article/1394 %N 10 %1 University of Münster Alina Marie Herting is a master student of Business Administration at the University of Münster (WWU Münster) with a study focus in Marketing and Management and a research associate at the Science-to-Business Marketing Research Centre (S2BMRC) at the Münster University of Applied Science with a focus on disruptive innovation and business model innovation. %2 Science-to-Business Marketing Research Centre Alexander Lennart Schmidt is a research associate at the Science-to-Business Marketing Research Centre (S2BMRC), a lecturer for Marketing and Innovation management at the Münster School of Business at Münster University of Applied Sciences, and a PhD candidate in a cooperative PhD program at the Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam and Münster University of Applied Sciences.
