    Agent-based Models as a Method to Analyse Privacy-friendly Business Models in an Assistant Ecosystem
    (Open Identity Summit 2020, 2020) Kubach, Michael; Fähnrich, Nicolas; Mihale-Wilson, Cristina
    Various projects and initiatives strive towards designing privacy friendly open platforms and ecosystems for digital products and services. However, besides mastering technical challenges, achieving economic viability and broad market success has so far proven to be difficult for these initiatives. Based on a publicly funded research project, this study focuses on the business model design for an open digital ecosystem for privacy friendly and trustworthy intelligent assistants. We present how the agent-based modelling technique can be employed to evaluate how business models perform in various constellations of an open digital ecosystem. Thus, our work relates to the strategic choice of suitable business models as an important success factor for privacy and security-relevant technologies.

    Business Models for Open Digital Ecosystems of Trustable Assistants
    (Open Identity Summit 2019, 2019) Mihale-Wilson, Cristina; Kubach, Michael
    Digital ecosystems (DEs) are self-organizing, robust and scalable environments where various stakeholders interact to solve complex problems. The idea of building digital ecosystems is not new. Thus, we can currently draw on an extensive body of literature on the topic. Although academics have addressed the technical and architectural challenges of building digital ecosystems as well as their desirability regarding innovativeness and privacy, research on how to ensure the economic viability and thus sustainability of such DEs remains scarce. In this study, we address this void in the literature and focus on the economic challenges of building open DE. We discuss this topic in the context of an open DE for trustable assistants in the Internet of Things (IoT) and vet the research question: “which are the business models an open DE must support to be economically viable?" Based on a structured research analysis we identify seven business models,which are most likely essential to the economic success of the analysed DE.

    Open ecosystem platforms for assistants and IoT-devices: a look into corporate practice
    (Open Identity Summit 2017, 2017) Fähnrich, Nicolas; Kubach, Michael
    Platforms are becoming an increasingly important part of today’s and future innovations. However, from a privacy and security, as well as from a societal perspective, closed proprietary platforms, the currently dominant form, possess certain potentially problematic features. This is why many call for open ecosystem approaches that so far have had only limited success on the market. In order to design an open ecosystem platform in a way that is attractive to companies, we therefore analyze the role platforms and related aspects play in companies’ strategies. This is achieved through an analysis of the annual corporate reports of large companies. Results show that platforms are a common topic in all industry sectors, with closed proprietary approaches prevailing. This illustrates that open ecosystem approaches are still hardly considered by the big industry players and more efforts are needed to make them economically attractive.
