Abstract
This chapter elaborates on the five cases investigated to explore the current industrial practice in sustainability, business models and modelling, business model innovation, and stakeholders. The cases include Riversimple and CLAAS from the Sustain Value project consortium and four other external companies. For confidentiality purpose, the names of the external companies and the interviewees at the six companies have not been revealed. The interviews were conducted based on semi-structured questionnaire. Brief overview of the case is provided. This is followed by an overall summary of findings and gaps, focusing on the company perspective on sustainability, business model and modelling, business model innovation and stakeholders in the value network.
