The present research focuses on the imitation of business model (BM) in order to understand how firms organize themselves for imitating an innovative business model. Four organizing ways of BM imitation are identified. Results contribute to seat the BM as a central object for studying firms’ imitation strategies. Besides, the stemming operationalizations resolve the issues of business models coexistence and separation that imitating firms have to answer. Finally, we suggest a reflection upon the determiners that shape imitators’ choices. From a more practical side, this research offers leads to decision-makers for empirically organizing imitation strategies. Doing so, we clarify operational situations for which the imitated BM should be separated from the rest of the firm. Finally, we hope that the present article contributes to straighten out the negative perception that some practitioners and scholars still might have regarding the concept of imitation. . Cette recherche se focalise sur l’imitation en matière de Business Model (BM) afin de comprendre comment les entreprises s’organisent pour imiter un BM innovant. Quatre organisations de l’imitation d’un BM par les entreprises sont identifiées. Les résultats contribuent à placer le BM comme un objet d’étude central dans la littérature sur l’imitation. Par ailleurs, les opérationalisations présentées résolvent les problématiques de coexistence et de séparation des BM auxquelles doivent répondre les entreprises qui imitent. Le travail mené propose enfin une réflexion sur les déterminants des choix des imitateurs. D’un point de vue pratique, cette recherche offre aux décideurs poursuivant des stratégies d’imitation des pistes pour s’organiser. Ce faisant, nous clarifions les situations opérationnelles pour lesquelles il convient de séparer ou non le BM imité du reste de l’entreprise. Enfin, nous espérons que l’article participe à redresser la perception négative de l’imitation que peuvent encore avoir certains praticiens et chercheurs en sciences de gestion.
