PublicationDynamic Capabilities for Transitioning from Product Platform Ecosystem to Innovation Platform Ecosystem(Palgrave Macmillan, 2023)Tilson, DavidOver recent decades, many platform-native start-ups and firms were founded and some are now among the world’s most valuable. This study, however, focuses on an incumbent firm transitioning from a long established product platform ecosystem to an innovation platform ecosystem in response to the platform-natives’ threats of disruption. We specifically investigate the dynamic capabilities needed by the incumbent firm in an enterprise software ecosystem in the transition phase. Our analysis builds on multi-perspective empirical data covering the viewpoints of all the actor types in the ecosystem, i.e., plat-form owner, platform partners, and end-user firms. The results imply the necessity of four dynamic capabilities: resource curation, ecosystem preservation, resource reconfiguration, and ecosystem diversification. With this study, we contribute to the emerging literature on the incumbent firms’ transition to a new ecosystem organising logic, and extend the study of dynamic capabilities specifically for the case of transitioning to innovation platform ecosystems.Type: journal articleJournal: European Journal of Information Systems

PublicationA Value Co-creation Perspective on Information Systems Analysis and DesignInformation systems analysis and design (ISAD) ensures the design of information systems (IS) in line with the requirements of a business environment. Since ISAD approaches follow the current dominant logic of business, the rise of a new and thriving business logic may require revisiting and advancing extant ISAD approaches and techniques. One of the prevailing debates in marketing research is the paradigmatic shift from a goods-dominant (G-D) to a service-dominant (S-D) logic of business. The cornerstone of this reorientation is the concept of value co-creation emphasizing joint value creation among a variety of actors within a business network. With the aim of introducing value co-creation as a new discourse to ISAD research, this research note argues that (i) the lens of S-D logic with its core concept of value co-creation provides a novel perspective to ISAD. We also assert that (ii) value-co-creation-informed IS design realizes the paradigmatic shift from G-D to S-D logic. Building on this mutual relationship between value co-creation and ISAD, we propose a research agenda and discuss the ISAD artefacts that prospective research may target.Type: journal articleJournal: Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE)Volume: 61Issue: 4

PublicationTaxonomy of Digital Platforms: A Platform Architecture Perspective(Thomas Ludwig; Volkmar Pipek (Hrsg.), 2019-02-23)Digital platforms—technical core artefacts augmented by peripheral third-party derivatives—afford organizations to integrate resources in networked business ecosystems. Although digital platforms widely differ in their configurations, digital platforms’ dimensions and characteristics to disentangle different digital platform configurations are under-researched. To bridge this void, we employ Nickerson et al.’s method for taxonomy development to systematically derive a taxonomy of digital platforms. Specifically, we embrace a platform architecture perspective to capture the configuration of digital platform’s components. The resultant taxonomy facilitates a more pronounced understanding and grouping of digital platforms as configurations of certain dimensions and characteristics. Our findings suggest that digital platforms exhibit characteristics on at least four dimensions—namely, infrastructure, core, ecosystem, and service dimensions. Second, through instantiating the taxonomy, we find that digital platforms that exhibit similar characteristics share identical architectural profiles and, therefore, belong to one of three digital platform archetypes—namely, orchestration, amalgamation, and innovation platforms.Type: conference paper

PublicationValue Co-creation Ontology—A Service-dominant Logic Perspective(Paul Drews, Burkhardt Funk, Peter Niemeyer und Lin Xie (Hrsg.), 2018-03-09)
;Drews, Paul ;Burkhardt, Funk ;Niemeyer, PeterXie, LinMarketing research apprises scholars in different disciplines of a paradigmatic reorientation from a traditional goods-dominant (G-D) to a service-dominant (S-D) logic. S-D logic re-conceptualizes the notion of economic exchange. The cornerstone of this reorientation is the concept of value co-creation—a collaborative process of reciprocal value creation among various actors. Owing to S-D logic’s significance, information systems (IS) research discusses its prospective implications on core elements of the IS knowledge base. However, an equivocal understanding of value co-creation’s foundations, semantics, and use emphasizes its underlying theoretical ambiguity in IS and marketing research. Through employing Methontology, a well-structured methodology to build ontologies, we develop a value co-creation ontology for IS from an S-D logic perspective. The developed ontology not only offers a multidisciplinary glossary of value co-creation’s constituent concepts, but also thoroughly depicts their relationships. The resultant ontology represents a first step toward reflecting S-D logic in IS analysis and design.Type: conference paperDOI: March 6-8 2018 -
PublicationDigital Infrastructure: A Service-dominant Logic Perspective(Association for Information Systems, 2016)
;Riss, Uwe VolkersOwing to the rapid and unrelenting digitalization of business ecosystems, digital infra-structure—as a new information technology artifact to conceptualize and realize inter-connected information system collectives—has drawn considerable attention in infor-mation systems research. Building on the extant body of knowledge, this study synthe-sizes and integrates existing discourses into a theoretical framework to contribute to the conceptualization of and to prospective theorizations on digital infrastructure. This the-oretical framework follows distinctive assumptions of service-dominant logic to business ecosystems and accounts for socio-technical complexity of digital infrastructure to even-tually derive six theoretical foundations of digital infrastructure. While three foundations (i.e., structural integrity, structural elasticity, and ambidexterity) reflect fundamental bases of digital infrastructure, the other three foundations (i.e., connectivity, generativ-ity, and modularity) reflect underlying mechanisms that cause and shape digital infra-structure’s fundamental bases. These insights represent an overall study’s first step whose next steps and the expected outcomes are also discussed.Type: conference paper -
