Business model archetypes for data marketplaces in the automotive industry

Abstract

Policymakers and analysts are heavily promoting data marketplaces to foster data trading between companies. Existing business model literature covers individually owned, multilateral data marketplaces. However, these particular types of data marketplaces hardly reach commercial exploitation. This paper develops business model archetypes for the full array of data marketplace types, ranging from private to independent ownership and from a hierarchical to a market orientation. Through exploratory interviews and case analyses, we create a business model taxonomy. Patterns in our taxonomy reveal four business model archetypes. We find that privately-owned data marketplaces with hierarchical orientation apply the aggregating data marketplace archetype. Consortium-owned data marketplaces apply the archetypes of aggregating data marketplace with additional brokering service and consulting data marketplace. Independently owned data marketplaces with market orientation apply the facilitating data marketplace archetype. Our results provide a basis for configurational theory that explains the performance of data marketplace business models. Our results also provide a basis for specifying boundary conditions for theory on data marketplace business models, as, for instance, the importance of network effects differs strongly between the archetypes.

Telemedicine versus Clinic-based Delivery of a Psychological Intervention for Chronic Pain Management: Patient Preferences, Adherence, and Satisfaction

“…Instead, they need to provide analytical functionality. This assertion is supported by a finding from Bergman et al (2022) that stresses the data paradigm as solutions rather than mere "items." One concrete way is to create value by providing aggregated or standardized services.…”

“…The first possible value creation archetype for a meta-platform is the discovery aggregator. According to literature, the aggregator often collects, analyzes, and offers insight from multiple data sources (e.g., Bergman et al, 2022;Garbuio & Lin, 2019). The discovery aggregator type is not focused on the role of controlling but rather on creating new connections between ecologies of platforms.…”

It is not (only) about privacy: How multi-party computation redefines control, trust, and risk in data sharing

“…However, we observed that interviewees sometimes based their answers on (1) data-sharing platforms that purely focus on facilitating data exchange between partners; or (2) general view of data sharing without considering intermediaries like data marketplaces. This limitation is expected since interviewees are not very familiar with data marketplaces due to the diversity of data marketplaces' business models (Bergman et al, 2022;Fruhwirth et al, 2020;. Therefore, we kept an eye on this issue during the interviews and clarified the concepts to the interviewees when this issue arose.…”

Data or Business First?—Manufacturers’ Transformation Toward Data-driven Business Models

“…Especially in practice, archetypal DDBMs offer a concrete strategic orientation for the transformation towards DDBMs as they systematically characterize configurations of business models (Müller and Buliga 2019). In this context, archetypes depict an aligned set of business model components that help decision-makers to develop a clearer understanding of how an aspired DDBM creates, delivers, and captures value (Pieroni et al 2020;Bergman et al 2022).…”
