Specifically, mass car ownership has led to traffic congestion, shortage of parking spaces, and sustainability issues. Recently, mobility solutions driven by technological advancements have emerged to address these issues via more efficient and sustainable use of resources. However, the wide range of mobility offerings has led to a scattered mobility market, and oversight is hard to grasp for travelers. Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms aim to address this issue by integrating mobility services into a single platform. However, MaaS providers (operators) struggle to find sustainable business models. Additionally, research on shared mobility business models is limited, and there is little oversight in the scattered business model landscape. This report addresses this issue by summarizing the dominant business models in the mobility market through a systematic review of current initiatives and literature. It provides an overview of active MaaS business models and challenges and opportunities to integrate mobility services into MaaS. The types of mobility services reviewed in this study include bike-sharing, scooter-sharing, car-sharing, e-hailing, and MaaS platform providers. For each mobility service, the dominant operating mode and the main business model actors are identified and represented using the Service-Dominant Business Model Radar (SDBM/R). Furthermore, the value exchanges between the actors are mapped in Value Capture Diagrams. The report concludes with a discussion on the challenges and opportunities related to synthesizing shared mobility modes into MaaS and the expectations for its future.

However, business model innovation is a complex task, characterized by shifting characteristics in terms of uncertainty, data availability and its impact on decision making. To cope with such challenges, business model evaluation is advocated to make sense of novel business models and to support decision making. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are frequently used in business model evaluation to structure the performance assessment of these models and to evaluate their strategic implications, in turn aiding business model decision making. However, given the shifting characteristics of the innovation process, the application and effectiveness of KPIs depend significantly on how such KPIs are defined. The techniques proposed in the existing literature typically generate...

This becomes particularly significant when validation and verification activities are to be performed by an independent organization. This study presents a systematic literature review and a follow up industrial survey, which was performed to investigate the state of the art on software test effort estimation and the current practice of software industry in Turkey. The results showed that only few of the methods and metrics discussed in the literature are used by the industry. Furthermore, industrial participants have a general opinion that these methods could be improved by making use of additional metrics. Hence, there is a significant need for collaborative studies between industry and academia.

To reduce service complexity, organisations engage in collaborative networks to exchange and integrate resources from many concurrent actors to co-create value. As a consequence, in contrast to firm-centric business models, the resulting service-dominant business model becomes networked in nature, describing the logic of how many concurrent actors co-create value and exchange resources. As business models take a pivotal position with respect to organisational performance and business-IT alignment, this places significant emphasis on the valid design and subsequent evaluation of these models, taking into account these service-dominant characteristics. However, we see that limited work is available to support business model evaluation from a service-dominant perspective, to address these...

As a result, the business models of these initiatives become more agile in nature, forcing them to be continuously and rapidly redesigned. However, given the wide landscape of potential stakeholders in the smart mobility domain, it may prove difficult to identify the stakeholders that should be considered for viable business model design. In response, this paper proposes a reference business model for the smart mobility domain which elaborates on a generic set of stakeholder categories and their characteristics to guide the design of these models. Following a design science research approach, we iteratively derived and evaluated the validity of the reference model using a set of business model design workshops. We illustrate the applicability of the reference model by means of a business model design case.

In doing so, organizations typically engage in collaborative service ecosystems to co-create value and exchange services, and conceptualize such collaborations using business models. The resulting models should be evaluated to support the development of service ecosystems and their long-term viability. Despite academic efforts on the evaluation of traditional, organization-centric business models, limited research is present supporting the evaluation of servicedominant business models, taking into account their key characteristics, such as service exchange and value co-creation in business networks. Methods: Following a design science research methodology, we have iteratively designed a method addressing the qualitative evaluation of service-dominant business mod...

Centring around value propositions, the actors of a service system integrate their resources to create novel service solutions for service beneficiaries. The initial step towards integration of resources relates to the identification of resource re-configurations that are relevant in the context of a service system. However, this is a challenging task as the actor compositions in service systems are volatile. Therefore, standardized and modular resource re-configurations are crucial for enabling actors’ agility and for mobilizing their resources in their service systems. Recognizing these needs, we propose a method to guide the transformation of a value proposition into modular, standardized, and contextualized actor resource re-configurations. The design is based upon the business services paradigm and has been developed by following design science research methodology. Furthermore, we p...

Thus, organizations pay significant attention to and invest in the explicit identification and definition of their business services. This is, however, not a trivial endeavor as multiple concerns that are intrinsic to the concept of business service should be taken into consideration in identifying services. Existing business service identification methods used in isolation do not offer adequate coverage for these concerns. Addressing this issue, we propose a novel method assembled by situational method engineering from a set of existing service identification methods, taking the best aspects from each of them. In this paper, we present an instantiation of the situational method engineering approach alongside the details of the constructed method. We also provide a demonstration of the method with an illustrative scenario based on a real-life business case.

A domain where digital innovation has great potential is smart mobility, which aims at moving around large sets of people and goods in a specific geographic setting in an efficient and effective way. So far, many innovations in this domain have concentrated on relatively isolated, technology-driven developments, such as smart route planning for individual travelers. Nice as they are, they have relatively small impact on mobility on a large scale. To achieve substantial digital innovations – for example, optimizing commuting on a city-scale – it is necessary to align the efforts and related values of a spectrum of stakeholders that need to collaborate in a common business model. To this aim, the study proposes the use of service-dominant business logic, which emphasizes the interaction of value network partners as they co-create value through collaborative processes. Moving to this paradigm has significant implications on the way business is done: the business requirements for services will change faster, and the complexity of value networks required to meet these requirements will increase further. This requires new approaches to business engineering that are grounded in the premises of service-dominant logic. The paper introduces the service-dominant business model radar (SDBM/R) as an integral component of a business engineering framework. Following a design science approach, the SDBM/R has been developed in close collaboration with industry experts and evaluated through an extensive series of hands-on workshops with industry professionals from several business domains. This paper focuses on the application and evaluation in the smart mobility domain, addressing the design of new business models for digital innovation of collaborative transport of people and goods. In summary, it contributes a novel business design approach that has an academic background and relevant practical embedding.

emerged to overcome the inherent challenges of the traditional
software development methodologies. With that in mind, they
offer a set of simple yet effective practices based on the values and
supporting principles of the Agile Manifesto. Today, more and
more organizations are practicing Agile but transitioning to Agile
is not as straightforward as it might seem. The benefits afforded
by the agile values, principles and practices are not fully obtained
and adapters struggle to become more mature; i.e. increase their
Agility. For, adapters to address this problem, agility assessments
have been designed to be aware of the situation of their transition
and make sure that they are heading in the right direction.
However, these assessments still require significant amount of time
and effort to apply. To overcome this problem, we have developed
a web-based agility assessment tool which is a part of an integrated
agility assessment approach. The approach consists of a structured
and comprehensive agility assessment model (AgilityMod), an
exemplar agility assessment process and a web based agility
assessment tool (AssessAgility). This research focuses on the final
component of the approach: AssessAgility tool and presents a
multiple case study that was conducted to evaluate tool’s
capabilities in terms of providing guidance, automation and
reducing the effort spent on the assessments.

Agile methods that are shaped around Agile Manifesto and principles, provide promising results when applied properly in software organizations. Agile assessment models and tools have potential to indicate agile adoption problems at project level or organization level. In the scope of this study, we identified 37 agility assessment tools. Among those tools, we evaluated 11 agility assessment tools based upon 9 criteria within a multiple case study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate existing agility assessment tools to provide an overview about potential uses, advantages and drawbacks. The results of the case study indicate that none of the 11 tools are eligible to fully achieve the 9 criteria.
