Abstract

Software tools hold great promise to support the modeling, analyzing, and innovation of business models. Yet, both research and practice lack a clear overview of the requirements and design principles for developing such tools. To tackle this issue, we gather requirements and design principles for business model software tools based on a structured literature review. We cluster the requirements within five core functions of tools and map subsequent design principles. By collecting and synthesizing various requirements and design principles, we provide a foundation for further research on business model software tools. In practice, these results contribute to the development of tools and can serve as an evaluation framework for intermediate development states and existing business model software tools. Future research can employ these results for artifact creation. This research guides the development of business model software tools to support firms in sustaining a competitive advantage.

Requirements and Design Principles for Business Model Tools

Software tools hold great promise to support the modeling, analyzing, and innovation of business models. Yet, both research and practice lack a clear overview of the requirements and design principles for developing such tools. To tackle this issue, we gather requirements and design principles for business model software tools based on a structured literature review. We cluster the requirements within five core functions of tools and map subsequent design principles. By collecting and synthesizing various requirements and design principles, we provide a foundation for further research on business model software tools. In practice, these results contribute to the development of tools and can serve as an evaluation framework for intermediate development states and existing business model software tools. Future research can employ these results for artifact creation. This research guides the development of business model software tools to support firms in sustaining a competitive advantage.
