“…In a systematic literature review [8], we have attained the objective of explicating the problem by concluding that there is a lack of a holistic DBE design and modelling method. Contributing to the iterative DSR activities [7], our exploratory semi-structured interview study [9] has further addressed the problem explication and requirements analysis. With the purpose of understanding DBEs and eliciting requirements for developing a DBE design method, we have interviewed industry practitioners and experts from different business domains.…”

“…Policies and regulations exist in the context of DBE to impose certain rules and restrictions. Table 2 shows the 30 requirements elicited in [9] and the 32 As shown in Table 2, six requirements, R3, R4, R9, R12, R19, and R20, were considered constraints of the DBE method and thus did not lead to identification of intentions. These requirements were described in more detail in a previous study [9].…”

“…Our research has aimed to address this problem by proposing a holistic approach to model-based DBE design as a design science research (DSR) project [7]. According to the DSR guidelines and research process proposed by Johannesson and Perjons [7], our previous work, including a recently conducted systematic literature review [8] and an exploratory semistructured interview study [9], contributes to the iterative activities of problem explication and requirements analysis. In [10], we have addressed the DSR activity of designing and developing artefact by presenting a foundation of the design artefact-a modelling method for DBE design.…”

Digital business ecosystem (DBE) is a paradigm that enables developing and monitoring novel business models of collaborating organisations and individuals using ICT as the foundation. Different from traditional online networked models such as manufacturer, retailer, or franchise centred, using a shared digital environment, DBE fosters heterogeneity, symbiosis, coevolution, and self-organisation of its multiple actors, which enables it to span different business domains as well as exhibits diverse interests. For many organisations and individuals, DBE presents a new collaborative approach to leverage offered and desired resources among the involved members to meet each of their goals. As such, it is foreseen to be of high value to the involved actors, but at the same time, it is often complex due to many correlated interactions of these actors and thus difficult to design and manage. Furthermore, the current state of the art shows a lack of methodological guidance for DBE design. We propose a method for DBE design that follows the requirements collected from industry experts and practitioners by applying situational method engineering to enable its modularised design. The method for design is validated by action research in the setting of Digital Vaccine, a Swedish DBE managing health-related services.
