Despite the success of prominent examples, such as Uber and Airbnb, creating a profitable platform ecosystem presents a key challenge for many companies across all industries. Although research provides knowledge about platforms’ different value drivers (e.g., network effects), companies that seek to transform their current business model into a platform-based one lack an artifact to reduce knowledge boundaries, collaborate effectively, and cope with the complexities and dynamics of platform ecosystems. We address this challenge by developing two artifacts and combining research from variability modeling, business model dependencies, and system dynamics. This paper presents a design science research approach to develop the platform ecosystem modeling language and the platform ecosystem development tool that support researcher and practitioner by visualizing and simulating platform ecosystems.

In these ecosystems,\r\nthird-party developers upload extensions to a store which can be\r\ndownloaded by end users. While the functional scope of such ecosystems\r\nis relatively similar, the underlying business models differ greatly in and\r\nbetween their different product domains (e.g. Mobile Phone, Smart TV).\r\nThis variability, in turn, makes it challenging for store providers to \r\nfind a business model that fits their own needs.\r\nTo handle this variability, we introduce the Business Variability Model\r\n(BVM) for modeling business model decisions. The basis of these decisions\r\nis the analysis of 60 store-oriented software ecosystems in eight\r\ndifferent product domains. We map their business model decisions to the\r\nBusiness Model Canvas, condense them to a variability model and discuss\r\nparticular variants and their dependencies. Our work provides store\r\nproviders a new approach for modeling business model decisions together\r\nwith insights of existing business models. This, in turn, supports them\r\nin creating new and improving existing business models." author: - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Gottschalk, Sebastian id: '47208' last_name: Gottschalk - first_name: Florian full_name: Rittmeier, Florian id: '5281' last_name: Rittmeier - first_name: Gregor full_name: Engels, Gregor id: '107' last_name: Engels citation: ama: 'Gottschalk S, Rittmeier F, Engels G.
