Business model innovation is crucial for enhancing company performance. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the six dimensions of sustainable business model innovation and company performance among Chinese electric vehicle brands. A structural equation model is constructed based on a comprehensive literature review and hypothesis development. Using PLS-SEM, this study empirically analyzes questionnaire data collected from the top 12 electric vehicle brands in China to explore the relationship between these six core dimensions and company performance. The results indicate that innovation in “value proposition to customers”, value creation, value delivery, and “value of residual” have a significantly positive impact on the performance of Chinese electric vehicle brands. However, value capture innovation and “value of after-sales service” innovation were not found to be statistically significant. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the mechanism through which sustainable business model innovation impacts company performance, enriching the theoretical foundation of academic research in this field and broadening its practical applications in management.

The business model is an effective and well-structured management tool that helps organizations acquire and hold onto a competitive edge over their competitors. This paper proposes a framework called “The Product Lifetime Value Business Model” for business model design and innovation of electric vehicle company. The framework consists of four layers, the innermost layer represents the business model, followed by the Product Lifetime Value layer and 6V model, the outermost layer comprises 17 additional dimensions that provide a more detailed and in-depth analysis. The concept of Product Lifetime Value is proposed and can be categorized into six distinct stages: planning, production, delivery, revenue generation, application, and recycling in this paper. In addition, a "6V" model is also proposed based on electric vehicle industry which contains value proposition, value creation, value delivery, value capture, value of after-sales services, and value of residual.

The purpose of this study was to empirically analyse the determinants of international students' intention to use the Grab Pay mobile payment system in Kuala Lumpur. It examined the influence of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions on the intention to use the Grab Pay mobile payment system. The target population was randomly selected from male and female international students in Kuala Lumpur. The study was a quantitative study assessing the intention to use the Grab Pay mobile payment system among international students in Kuala Lumpur. A self-administered survey questionnaire was used to collect primary data from 180 respondents. The data gathered was analysed using SPSS, and findings discovered that the proposed model explained 61% of the variance in the dependent variable. The results showed that three independent factors, namely effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, are the strong predictors of behavioural intention. However, effort expectancy has no significant influence on the intention to use the Grab Pay mobile payment system among international students in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Findings from the study can benefit other academics with a better understanding of the adoption of Grab Pay in Kuala Lumpur. It can also help other institutions in the technology (Grab Holdings Inc., etc.) and financial sectors to better function based on the driving elements towards influencing behavioural intentions on the Grab Pay mobile payment system.
