  • The Business Model Ecosystem
    The Business Model Ecosystem Peter Lindgren M-BIT Research Group Business and Social Sciences, AU Herning, Aarhus University, Denmark Received 1 September 2016; Accepted 20 October 2016; Publication 25 November 2016 Abstract There is much knowledge about Business models (BM) (Zott 2009, Zott 2010, Zott 2011, Fielt 2011, Teece 2010, Lindgren 2013) but very little knowledge and research about Business Model Eco system (BMES) – those “ecosystems” where the BM’s really operates and works as value-adding mechanism – objects or “species”. How are these BMES actually constructed – How do they function – what are their characteristics and How can we really define these BMES? There are until now not an accepted language developed for BMES’s nor is the term BMES generally accepted in the BM Literature. This paper intends to commence the journey of building up such language on behalf of case studies within the Wind Mill, Health-, Agriculture-, and Fair line of BMES. A preliminary study of “AS IS” and “TO BE” BM’s related to these BMES present our first findings and preliminary understanding of BMES. The paper attempt to define what is a BMES and the dimensions and components of BMES. In this context we build upon a comprehensive review of academic business and BM literature together with an analogy study to ecological eco systems and ecosystem frameworks. We commence exploring the origin of the term business, BM and ecosystems and then relate this to a proposed BMES framework and the concept of the Multi BM framework (Lindgren 2013). Keywords: Business model Ecosystem, Business Model, Business Model Innovation, Ecosystems.
