The music industry has been experiencing profound changes in the last couple of decades due mainly to the emergence and widespread adoption of new digital technologies. It has become much more complex and intricate in recent years and there are now many more stakeholders in the music “ecosystem” than 20 or 30 years ago. Hence analyzing it requires suitable, up-to-date tools. In this paper I propose an interactive and dynamic music industry value network model that takes into account the most recent changes experienced by the music business.

The central banks of several developing nations have encouraged financial institutions to provide strategic online banking services and products to remain competitive. This is in recognition of the cheaper cost of information and communication technologies (ICT) that support the delivery of such products and services. In this paper, we use a value network theoretical model to examine the electronic banking services and products provided by banks in Nigeria. We visited the websites of banks and identified the different services ...

Currently, none of organizations can satisfy its stakeholders and customers by simply emphasizing its unique capabilities and assets. In fact, organizations work together and cooperate to provide distinctive products and services to customers. In this paper, the value network framework in banking industry is examined based on 33 banking experts' opinions using one sample t-test to investigate the validity of model elements and using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) on the opinions of the same sample extracted from matrix questionaire, for analyzing the relationships among the elements. According to the research findings, the value network model of banking industry is drawn in four levels, in which, in the first level, "Value Creation in Banking Value Network"; in the second level, "Bank Interactions with Stakeholders"; in the third level, "Bank as the Core of Value Network", "Banks' Internal Conditions", "Banking Rules and Policies" and "Competition in Banking Industry"; and finally, "Bank Assets", "Changes in Banking Industry", "Macro-conditions in the Country", "Iran Banking Industry" and "Customer Needs and Characteristics" are placed. The results show that environmental and contextual elements, especially banks' internal conditions, play the important role in value co-creation in banking industry.

In this paper, we explore the merging of supply chains between media and telecommunications as an example of business application of industry convergence. The goal of this study is to provide managerial insight into the various facets of convergence of supply chains so that companies can effectively exploit business opportunities presented by the accelerating process of digital convergence and related technological innovations. In this study, the focus is set on business models, rather than business strategies as such, since digital convergence is an emerging sector that deserves independent attention as a new business concept. We formulated a series of propositions, related to customer value, value network, and supply chain efficiency, using frameworks borrowed from the existing business model literature and value creation theories for Internet business. Managerial implications are discussed and applied to DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting), a new telecom-broadcasting convergenc...

We report a novel deployment of so-called UBI-hotspots in a city center to establish an ecosystem infrastructure for conducting diverse urban computing research and business in authentic urban setting. We focus on the value network of the hotspots where the commercial use of the hotspots generates revenue for covering their operational expenses. The value network has been validated by a 12-month long operation, during which the hotspots and their services have been available to the general public on 24/7 basis.

Business strategy aims at supporting the vision of an enterprise,by paving the way to achieve it through goals that direct thestrategy’s execution. Aligning business strategy to system requirements requires explicit models from both business strategy and requirementsengineering. However, existing business strategy definition approachesare informal and their syntax is based on natural language, therefore,they cannot be used in model-driven alignment. An objective of ourresearch is to define a well-structured business strategy modeling language.In this paper, we propose a business strategy meta-model basedon Porter’s work on competition driven strategy and its extension byStabell and Fjeldstad. Our UML meta-model is formalized in Telos and OWL. An initial validation is performed by instantiating the meta-modelusing a case scenario.
