Assessing Feasibility of IT-Enabled Networked Value Constellations: A Case Study in the Electricity Sector
نویسندگان
چکیده
Innovative networked value constellations, such as Cisco or Dell, are often enabled by Information Technology (IT). The same holds for the Distributed Electricity Balancing Service (DBS), which we present in this case study. To explore feasibility of such constellations while designing them, we need at least to develop a financial and technical understanding of the constellation at hand. In this paper, we take a multiple perspective approach, by taking a business value perspective (using evalue ) and an information system perspective (using UML-deployment diagrams) on the case at hand. We present a novel, structured approach to relate both perspectives, thus enabling a financial and technical feasibility assessment of the constellation, using a real-life case study in the field of electricity supply and consumption.

A Design Perspective on Networked Business Models: A Study of Distributed Generation in the Power Industry Sector
Value chain deconstruction and reconfiguration into new value constellations is a phenomenon impacting many industry sectors. An important strategic issue therefore is the creation and analysis of new networked business models that cut across a variety of enterprise and market actors. In this paper we take up this issue from a design perspective, and consider the construction of networked busin...

Speed and availability of information, delivered in past years by Internet technologies, made it easier for any company to outsource primary activities, which resulted in unbundling of many companies’ traditional value constellations into networks of different companies. In the electricity power sector decomposition of the value constellation is not only enabled by technological advances such a...

Many enterprises organize themselves as networked value constellations to jointly deliver products and services. Such constellations are facilitated by recent advances in IT, specifically various Internet and Web technologies. Before embarking upon information systems design and dealing with the technical issues, we argue that it is first important to understand the constellation with its busin...

In this paper we introduce the ealignment approach for inter-organizational alignment. With ealignment we create alignment between organizations operating in a networked value constellation which is a set of organizations who jointly satisfy a customer need by (1) focusing on the interaction between the organizations in the networked value constellation, (2) considering interaction from four di...
