Strategic innovation means the design of new
business models that seek to reach new customers, to offer
new products or services or to find new ways of make
business. For Anderson and Markides (2006) strategic
innovation is about discovering a new WHO, a new WHAT and
a new HOW. An enabler of strategic innovation has been the
development and diffusion of information and communication
technologies. In this paper, ten selected case studies of
innovative services and business models supported in
electronic platforms are presented and discussed. They
represent new opportunities for business model design and
open innovation processes. These business models were
analyzed through the business model canvas framework and
in terms of strategic innovation. The findings and a set of
hypothesis are presented and discussed at the end of the
paper
