The paper seeks to advance the theory on value proposition and innovation by offering a framework for identifying value proposition elements. By identifying and systematically analysing innovations by Amazon.com, the concept of value proposition was decomposed into five components: performance, ease of use, reliability, flexibility and affectivity (PERFA). The paper is an original attempt to correlate value proposition and innovation. It provides researchers and practitioners with a better understanding of the structure of a value proposition and how innovation can influence it.

In a networked environment, it is essential for organizations to share knowledge among themselves if they want to achieve the global objectives such as collaborative innovation and increased effectiveness and efficiency of operations. However, sharing knowledge is not risk-free. An organization might lose its competitive edge if it shares too much or certain key knowledge. In addition, an organization might suffer if its intellectual property is improperly handled by its business partners. There is a conspicuous absence of studies examining the risks of sharing knowledge. To address this gap, we develop an exploratory framework that categorizes knowledge-sharing risks across multiple dimensions. Our framework outlines the various kinds of knowledge risks that organizations are facing.
