Effectuation and business model innovation (BMI) are research topics that are frequently discussed in the literature. While effectuation describes the effectual behaviour for founding a start-up with an emphasis on using currently available means, BMI is considered a way of creating a business model with long-term competitive advantages. Both approaches are valuable for start-ups pursuing growth in an uncertain environment. This work-in-progress paper presents insights from the reviewed extant literature. Further research will investigate effectuation and its enabling impact in designing innovative business models in the context of Swiss start-ups.

Science and practice agree: companies that rely on innovative business models are successful in the long term. Business model innovations offer advantages over other types of innovation, but are still relatively rare in practice and most companies still rely on product and service innovations. To better explore this topic, we examined business plans of the participants in the Swiss Innovation Challenge, a program to promote innovative start-ups and SMEs with an integrated competition based in Switzerland. And indeed, product and service innovations play a dominant role in the Swiss Innovation Challenge. Almost 60% of the business plans examined can be classified as product and service innovation while only 18% of the business plans, are classified as business model innovations. However, it also became clear that many of the projects that were not classified as a business model innovation had the potential to innovate their business model.

Exploring causal relationships between self-efficacy and effectuation can provide valuable insights into entrepreneurial behaviour. Antecedents of entrepreneurial self-efficacy are examined including performance accomplishments, vicarious experience, means and entrepreneurial experience. Different effectual behaviours such as forming partnerships, exploiting contingencies, addressing affordable loss and using experimentation are studied. Based on earlier work on the subject, this article reviews self-efficacy and effectuation as well as a conceptual model that links these two concepts. The reviewed model highlights the impact of the antecedents of entrepreneurial self-efficacy as well as the impact of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on effectual behaviours. Going beyond the conceptual nature of earlier work, this article presents empirical findings in order to contribute to the discussion and build understanding of the matter. Semi-structured interviews with ten entrepreneurs were conducted in five countries ac
