Abstract

Unternehmen unterliegen einer immer größer werdenden Umweltdynamik und sehen sich daher zusehend gezwungen, ihre Geschäftsmodelle auf neue Situationen anzupassen. Dieser Beitrag untersucht in diesem Zusammenhang, wie der Geschäftsmodellwandel insbesondere in KMU mit 10-30 Mitarbeitern erfolgreich gestaltet werden kann. -- Das Forschungsfeld des Change Managements ist weit gestreut und es hat sich bislang noch keine Basistheorie herausgebildet. Da der KMU-Bezug bis dato nur schwach ausgeprägt ist, wird auf Basis einer qualitativen Untersuchung von vier Unternehmen ein Modell des Wandels für KMU entwickelt. -- Dieses beruht maßgeblich auf einem inkrementellen und intuitiven Wandlungsprozess. Das Modell erlangt sowohl theoretische als auch praktische Relevanz, da für eine erfolgreiche Wandlung in dem untersuchten Segment deutlich weniger Erfolgsfaktoren eingesetzt werden mussten, als in der Literatur vorgeschlagen. / Enterprises are subjected to steadily increasing changes in their environment and therefore they are forced to adapt their business models to new situations. In this context, the article examines how SMEs with 10-30 employees adapt their business models successfully. -- The research area of change management is widely spread and a common theory has not yet been established. Due to the weak focus on SMEs, this paper proposes a model for the transformation of SMEs based on qualitative research in four enterprises. -- The model is based on an incremental and intuitive change process. It gains theoretical as well as practical importance because in the examined segment a successful change required fewer success factors as proposed by the literature.
