DESCRIPTION:Claire Weiller and Amy Shang are going to present their co-aut
 hored paper on business models in electric vehicle (EV) industry. Claire a
 nd Amy are PhD students in Cambridge Service Alliance and Centre for Inter
 national Manufacturing. Both of them are working in the EV industry but fr
 om different perspectives.\n\nTheir co-authored paper presents four innova
 tive business models that are being developed in three countries to suppor
 t the commercialisation of electric vehicles (EV). Using an original busin
 ess model framework and interviews with EV company founders and directors\
 , we analyse partnership strategies along the EV value chain (France and U
 S) and the coexistence of competing business models (China). Findings emph
 asise the importance of designing flexible business models and leveraging 
 resources and inter-industry partnerships in the emerging EV ecosystem. Th
 e results provide practical recommendations for industrial players and ins
 ights for policy-makers.
