  text: 'Platform-based business models underlie the success of many of today’s largest,
    fastest-growing, and most disruptive companies. 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. '

  text: "In the last years, store-oriented software ecosystems are gaining\r\nmore
    and more attention from a business perspective. 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."
