Particularly in B-to-B settings we can observe quite often that the optimism of companies launching innovative business models (e.g. performance contracting, total cost of ownership models, build-operate-transfer solutions) fades away quite soon. The related value propositions often sound reasonable from both the customer's and the supplier's viewpoint - but finally the adoption is so disappointing that suppliers finally drop their initiatives. In some prior research with focus on German-speaking countries we found out that the way of thinking and the entire business perspective of decision-makers matters. This can be explained in terms of 'dominant logics' residing in organizations (e.g. Freiling & Dressel 2014, International Small Business Journal). However, maybe you have other reasons in mind. Please tell.
By the way, if you want to present own research on this topic, maybe the attached call for papers is interesting for you.
