Abstract: Digital business model research spans the disciplines of information systems, marketing and entrepreneurship. Despite the growing research in the area there is a lack of understanding of how digital entrepreneurs identify business opportunities and conceptualize those in a business model. The literature on business models lacks consistent terminology and specification of critical components. Through an explorative study of digital entrepreneurs we examine how entrepreneurs identify business opportunities and how they translate them into a workable business idea. Although entrepreneurs typically have difficulty explaining their business model components we identified that critical features in our simplicity framework include three main modules, transaction/matching, marketing and back-office components, and simplicity in terms of value proposition, conceptualization approach and usability. This research proposes that a parsimonious view of digital business models, aligned with the lean start-up ide...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a framework for devising process querying methods, i.e., techniques for the (automated) management of repositories of designed and executed processes, as well as models that describe relationships between processes.
Abstract: The volume of process-related data is growing rapidly: more and more business operations are being supported and monitored by information systems. Industry 4.0 and the corresponding industrial Internet of Things are about to generate new waves of process-related data, next to the abundance of event data already present in enterprise systems. However, organizations often fail to convert such data into strategic and tactical intelligence. This is due to the lack of dedicated technologies that are tailored to effectively manage the information on processes encoded in process models and process execution records. Process-related information is a core organizational asset which requires dedicated analytics to unlock its full potential. This paper proposes a framework for devising process querying methods, i.e., techniques for the (automated) management of repositories of designed and executed processes, as well as models that describe relationships between processes. The framework is composed of generic components that can be configured to create a range of process querying methods. The motivation for the framework stems from use cases in the field of Business Process Management. The design of the framework is informed by and validated via a systematic literature review. The framework structures the state of the art and points to gaps in existing research. Process querying methods need to address these gaps to better support strategic decision-making and provide the next generation of Business Intelligence platforms.

TL;DR: A more comprehensive framework for business interaction is presented, which distinguishes between different levels (markets level and dyadic level) of business interaction and acknowledges the dynamics ofbusiness interaction as the continual development of capabilities and business relations.
Abstract: The development of e-interactions (IT supported business interaction) need to be facilitated by comprehensive frameworks for business interaction Existing frameworks cover fragments of the important constituents of business interaction Based on a review of existing frameworks a more comprehensive one is presented in this paper This comprehensive framework builds upon a symmetric focus on a supplier and on a customer Attention is directed towards both communicative and material/financial exchanges It distinguishes between different levels (markets level and dyadic level) of business interaction and acknowledges the dynamics of business interaction as the continual development of capabilities and business relations On the dyadic level a distinction is made between frame contracting and business transaction The proposed framework should be and has been used for evaluating, modelling and designing e-interactions

TL;DR: The Component Business Model and the PRM-IT are described and examples of IT environments are given in order to illustrate how using these models can aid executives in illuminating strategic options that may be overlooked using conventional atomistic approaches.
Abstract: The current stage of information technology (IT) evolution focuses on moving from a technology-based to a services-based orientation. To that end, IT leadership has had to shift from focusing primarily on technological issues to learning to manage IT like a business, with IT services as the primary "product" produced and consumed by customers. The Component Business ModelTM for the Business of IT (CBMBolT) provides a powerful, flexible new perspective of IT as a means to assist with strategic decision making. The foundation of CBMBoIT is the IBM Process Reference Model for IT (PRM-IT), which describes the underlying process activity flows. This paper describes the Component Business Model and the PRM-IT and gives examples of IT environments in order to illustrate how using these models can aid executives in illuminating strategic options that may be overlooked using conventional atomistic approaches.

TL;DR: A relative-timed semantic model for Business Process Modelling Notation that augments the untimed model by introducing the notion of relative time in the form of delays chosen non-deterministically from a range is described.
