Description
Digital technologies have led to new ways of creating value across organizational boundaries within business ecosystems and now increasingly transform existing business models. However, organizations searching for a successful business model in an ecosystem environment are faced with uncertainty. Previous studies have shown that decision-making can be improved systematically with modeling and simulation. We conducted a two-year action design research study with a B2B start-up and developed a framework with a business ecosystem perspective that supports the use of System Dynamics. This research investigates how an organization in a B2B ecosystem can use simulation to decide on a business model while considering the perspective of other ecosystem actors. We contribute to research on business ecosystems and provide a foundation for further improvements of quantitative business model development tools.
