An e-Business Model Ontology for Modeling e-Business

Abstract

After explaining why business executives and academics should consider thinking about a rigorous approach to e-business models, we introduce a new e-Business Model Ontology.Using the concept of business models can help companies understand, communicate and share, change, measure, simulate and learn more about the different aspects of e-business in their firm.The generic e-Business Model Ontology (a rigorous definition of the e-business issues and their interdependencies in a company's business model), which we outline in this paper is the foundation for the development of various useful tools for e-business management and IS Requirements Engineering.The e-Business Model Ontology is based on an extensive literature review and describes the logic of a "business system" for creating value in the Internet era.It is composed of four main pillars, which are product innovation, infrastructure management, customer relationship and financials.These elements are then further decomposed.
