Business Model Representations and Ecosystem Analysis: An Overview

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Information Systems (EMCIS 2018)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 341))

Abstract

Some approaches to represent business models can support the analysis of value creation in platform ecosystems and its impact on the business models involved, by improving the understanding of roles, structure and, ideally, risks. This work contributes by providing an integrated overview of business model representations and examines if ecosystem risk analysis is supported, thus providing researchers and practitioners with a deeper insight into suitable tools for understanding digital platform ecosystems and the business models involved.
