Abstract
In the domain of business design, innovation driver components are frequently charac-terized by their high complexity and dynamic interactions, rendering their extraction and analysis a challenging endeavor. This paper, leveraging the integrated theoretical framework of Design for System Innovations and Transitions (DfSIT framework), itera-tively proposes an analytical approach to dissecting innovation drivers. This approach results in the development of a corresponding visualization and analysis tool through four rounds of academic and industrial expert workshops, extensive literature review, and in-depth case studies. The approach facilitates the systematic extraction, valida-tion, structural localization, and in-depth analysis of innovation drivers in business de-sign. This not only provides an analytical advantage in the context of complex system innovation but also offers valuable insights for understanding the mechanisms, devising strategies, and managing the practice of innovation. Furthermore, this paper meticu-lously demonstrates and validates the approach through a detailed case study of Chi-na's ‘Pop-up retail’ business innovation.
