After all, ING, a Dutch bank, and Marlies Dekkers, a Dutch fashion house, operate in very different industries and apply completely different strategies.

Both firms launched business models that were new to their industries, and both faced similar challenges to implement them.

They reveal four strategic trade-offs that business model innovators encounter, regarding organizational form, roadmapping, identity rebellion, and value proposition persistency.
