abstract = {We describe the story of the railway missing links, particularly of the crossborder railway bridge in the Mura-Drava-Rails network. Eight railway lines formed this railway network from 1857 to 1924. We introduce our research with the historical case of design and innovation development of the semi-parabolic railway bridges. The central time frame of this paper is delimited to the post-second world war years to the present. With actor-network analysis, we describe the non-development and nonaction in the two cross-border railway regional lines, each with its missing link. These two missing links in an estimated length of twelve railway kilometres prevent the network from being reformed. Additionally, we draw insights from urban studies, development studies, and machine theory. We followed the logic of the nonreconstruction of the railway bridge on the border of the former Yugoslavia with the Republic of Austria and the rationalisation of the passenger railway transport in the former country in 1968 on the one side. That is how we tried to understand also the commissioning of the cross-border road bridge between the two countries over the Mura river only a year later, in 1969, on the other side. We had to broaden our research perspective to all the railway border crossings of today’s Slovenia with Austria, Hungary, and Italy. By mapping these railway border crossings, we were able to

describe the strategic intent of the former country, which was to close the majority of the railway borders crossing—seven out of ten railway border crossings existing before the second world war—on its northern borders.},

abstract = {Some scholars claim that the vicious circle of design-manufacture-marketing-consumption is exhausted and will make planet Earth run out of fuel. Therefore, they propose a new social contract (Brown, 2009: 200-1), because Brown is noticing that the prevailing model in the developed world is not working. As one of the possibilities, he urges us to imagine a society where what we buy should help create wealth not just consumption. In his opinion, it is no surprise that the idea of designing products, services, and business models first appeared in places where most people have no choice (2009: 212). 



In his widely acclaimed book, Osterwalder (2010) has explained five new business model patterns, among them unbundling business models, the long tail, multi-sided platforms, free as a business model, and open business model. Recent research has identified 20 new business model patterns according to their impact as + environmental (closed-loop production, physical to virtual, produce on-demand, rematerialization impact); + social (buy one - give one, cooperative ownership, inclusive sourcing); + financial innovation (crowdfunding, freemium, innovative product financing, pay for success, subscription model); + base of the pyramid (building a marketplace, differential pricing, microfinance, micro-franchise); and with diverse impact (alternative marketplace, behavior change, product as a service, shared resource) (Clinton and Whisnant, 2014). Referring to business models, Teece (2010: 179) claims that a business model is more generic than a business strategy. Furthermore, organizations should link strategy and business model analysis to protect competitive advantage resulting from new business model design. The idea of value protection is to be questioned in the proposed research, especially within the possible experience transfer of business innovation and business model innovation into the small and medium enterprises. 



The main idea of this proposed pre-research presentation is to generate an understanding of how to transfer the knowledge about strategy innovations, and questions that inform business model innovation, including the field of social innovation for social impact. Business model innovation is the field that helped some business organisations, large and small achieve thick and most of all sustainable values while it is evident at the same time that technological innovation itself does not guarantee business success. But when technological innovation was linked to so-called non-technological or design innovation, some business innovators had tremendous success. What do these experiences from the business innovators mean for small and medium enterprises? 



Is the knowledge transfer possible for small and medium enterprises and even to public sector and civic organizations? These questions and further hypotheses will be developed in a pre-research on the sample of

small and medium enterprises in Slovenia. First insights will be presented at the conference.},
