Model-Based Digital Business Ecosystems : A Method Design

• In traditional business models, organisations typically work independently and have limited interactions with other entities in the network. In contrast, Digital Business Ecosystems (DBE) foster collaboration, responsibility-taking, and resource sharing between multiple actors, enabling them to leverage their capabilities. Such characteristics require in return well-thought approaches for identification and design of the DBE components and tasks unified in an underlying digital environment. In this study, we address this challenge by proposing a modular model-based method for design of DBE that uses Situational Method Engineering as the underlying methodology and meta-models that describe the concepts and relationships on the modular level. We have illustrated some applications of the method and design task with existing enterprise architecture and enterprise modelling approaches.
