Abstract [en]

The purpose of this diploma thesis was to explore the interrelationships of business model and business plan in the context of lean startup methodology. With a focus on how these two strategic tools could practically be used within this context. These three themes were interpreted and explored through qualitative research. By using semi-structured interviews with three Swedish tech startups. The data collection was analyzed with thematic analysis first and then further explored with a cross-case analysis. The findings showed that the business plan was used as a static tool with no practical usage more than for administrative purposes mainly. While the business model was used as a dynamic and strategic tool. With a clear interrelationship to lean startup methodology through iterative process during product development.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utforska förhållandet mellan affärsmodell och affärsplan i kontexten av lean startup metodologi. Med fokus på hur dessa två strategiska verktyg praktiskt skulle kunna användas inom denna kontext. Dessa tre teman tolkades och utforskades genom kvalitativ forskning. Genom att använda semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre svenska tech startups. Datainsamlingen analyserades med tematisk analys först och utforskades sedan vidare med en tvärfallsanalys. Resultatet visade att affärsplanen användes som ett statiskt verktyg utan praktisk användning, mer än för administrativa ändamål. Medan affärsmodellen användes som ett dynamiskt och strategiskt verktyg. Med ett tydligt samband med lean startup metodologi genom iterativ process under produktutveckling.
