  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. '
