  text: "The development of new business models is essential for startups to become
    successful, as well as  for established companies to explore new business opportunities.
    However, developing such business models is a continuous challenging activity
    where different tasks need to be performed, and business decisions need to be
    made. Both have to fit the constantly changeable situation in which the business
    model is developed to reduce the risk of developing ineffective business models
    with low market penetration. Therefore, a method for developing situation-specific
    business models is needed. As a solution, we refine the concept of situational
    method engineering (SME) to business model development. SME, in turn, provides
    means to construct situation-specific development methods out of fragments from
    a method repository.\r\n\r\nWe develop a concept for the continuous situation-specific
    development of business models based on design science. The approach uses the
    roles of a domain expert,  a method engineer, and a business developer together
    with a repository with method fragments for developing business models and a repository
    with modeling artifacts for supporting the development. Both repositories are
    filled by utilizing the experience of domain experts. Out of these repositories,
    situation-specific development methods for developing business models can be continuously
    composed based on the changeable situation by the method engineer and enacted
    by the business developer. We implement it as an open-source tool and evaluate
    its applicability in an industrial case study of developing a business model for
    a local event platform. Our results show that situation awareness supports the
    continuous development of business models."
