How to find variations on a found e-business model?
How to find variations on a found e-business model?
• Deconstruct value model using operators:
– Value activity deconstruction: find ‘smaller’ value activities,
which can be assigned to different actors
– Value port deconstruction: find ports with ‘smaller’ value
objects
– Value interface deconstruction: split up interfaces with
ports > 2 into interfaces with fewer ports
– Repeat these deconstruction operators a number of times
• Reconstruct value model
– Reassign newly found value activities to actors

• Study variations on an existing business value
model using deconstruction operators;
• Operators are defined on the e3-value ontology,
which is used to represent a value model;
• Three operators:
– Value activity deconstruction operator;
– Value port deconstruction operator;
– Value interface deconstruction operator.
