Tobias Wulfert und Sarah Seufert veröffentlichen einen Artikel im Electronic Markets-Journal. In dem Artikel werden auf Basis einer systematischen Literaturanalyse und einer multiplen Fallstudie Design Principles für die Standardisierung von Boundary Resources in E-Commerce-Ökosystemen entwickelt. Der Beitrag entstand gemeinsam mit Dr. Gero Strobel und Robert Woroch vom Lehrstuhl für Wirtschaftsinformatik und Softwaretechnik an der Universität Duisburg-Essen sowie Dr. Frederik Möller vom Lehrstuhl für Industrielles Informationsmanagement an der TU Dortmund. Der Artikel trägt den Titel „Developing design principles to standardize e‑commerce ecosystems: A systematic literature review and multi‑case study of boundary resources“.

Abstract:

„Platform ecosystems have captured a variety of markets, enabling coordination, transactions, and value co-creation between independent actors. A focal platform constitutes the central nexus of e-commerce ecosystems and fosters the interaction among ecosystem participants through their boundary resources. Standardizing these interfaces simplifies ecosystem entry for developers and increases the number of participants propelling the network effects, and thus the overall value of the ecosystem. Currently, there is a lack of prescriptive design knowledge guiding platform owners in designing successful e-commerce ecosystems. Addressing this issue, we followed a dual approach, reporting on a systematic literature review in which we identified design requirements and complemented these with a multiple-case study on selected e-commerce ecosystems. Aggregating the requirements resulted in six meta-requirements and 19 design principles that foster the standardization of focal e-commerce platforms. Our design principles simplify the development of complements and enable multi-homing for developers due to possible standardization across ecosystems.“
