This article reviews the literature on business models in process industries. The review reveals that the business model concept has gained an increasing amount of attention in process-industrial research, but it also shows that the literature exhibits a lack of construct clarity and that it is developing in different domains, depending on the perspectives scholars have taken to study business models in process industries. Specifically, while innovation management scholars have explored the relationship between technological innovations and business models as well as the process and outcomes of business model innovation, scholars from the domain of production management have focused on value chain (re)configurations and taken a system-based perspective to consider boundary-spanning exchanges with key stakeholders in the design of business models. However, despite variance in the perspectives, the review further shows that works in these divergent domains point to a family of emerging themes and to common ideas that have not been explored together. This allows us to identify the particularities of business models in process industries and develop a definition of process-industrial business models, which extends prior business model literature into the process industry context. Furthermore, we synthesize these connections to develop an agenda for future, cross-disciplinary research on business models in process industries that assists cumulative theorizing and subsequent empirical progress.

本文回顾了有关流程行业业务模型的文献。审查表明，业务模型概念在过程工业研究中得到了越来越多的关注，但是它也表明，文献显示出缺乏结构清晰性，并且它在不同领域中不断发展，这取决于学者们采取的观点。研究流程行业的业务模型。具体而言，尽管创新管理学者探索了技术创新与业务模型之间的关系以及业务模型创新的过程和成果，但来自生产管理领域的学者却专注于价值链（重新）配置，并采用了基于系统的方法。在设计业务模型时考虑与主要利益相关者进行跨边界交流的观点。然而，尽管观点存在分歧，但该评论进一步表明，在这些不同领域中的作品指向了一系列新兴主题和共同探索的共同思想。这使我们能够识别流程行业中业务模型的特殊性，并开发流程工业业务模型的定义，从而将先前的业务模型文献扩展到流程行业环境中。此外，我们综合了这些联系，为将来在过程工业中的业务模型的跨学科研究制定了议程，这有助于累积理论化和随后的经验进步。这使我们能够识别流程行业中业务模型的特殊性，并开发流程工业业务模型的定义，从而将先前的业务模型文献扩展到流程行业环境中。此外，我们综合了这些联系，为将来在过程工业中的业务模型的跨学科研究制定了议程，这有助于累积理论化和随后的经验进步。这使我们能够识别流程行业中业务模型的特殊性，并开发流程工业业务模型的定义，从而将先前的业务模型文献扩展到流程行业环境中。此外，我们综合了这些联系，为将来在过程工业中的业务模型的跨学科研究制定了议程，这有助于累积理论化和随后的经验进步。
