No other issue is as important as sustainability from the point of globalization. Discussion is about to work intensively towards reinventing existing business models and integrating some methods to stay competitive and profitable.

Findings & Value added: The results drawn from this research provide academics and practitioners with a better understanding of impacts that an adopted QMS have on business model dimensions within an enterprise. Findings of the research show whether these impacts aid them in becoming more sustainable. This knowledge can then be applied to strategies and management skills for the purpose of achieving better modelling results.

Summary

Introduction

On the one hand globalisation positively influences a business model of an international operating company by making it possible “...to access cheaper labour and material” [1]. The dynamically changing world economy creates new needs in both the theoretical models of management and in the practical discussion related to the perception of business [2]. Changes force companies to rethink their operational business models more frequently and fundamentally, as innovation based solely on new products and aimed at local markets is no longer sufficient to sustain competitive and to survive. To remain relevant in the current market, or in other words to stay sustainable, it is important that the company adapts its business model to the changing conditions.
