Reconciling Complexity and Simplicity in the Business Model Canvas Design Through Metamodelling and Domain-Specific Modelling
This research finally connects the dots between business planning and technical execution.
Deep Dive
A new metamodel and Domain-Specific Modelling Language (DSML) tool formally defines the relationships within the popular Business Model Canvas (BMC). It consolidates all interactions into three core types: supports, determines, and affects. This provides explicit semantics while maintaining the BMC's simplicity, significantly improving interpretability and consistency. The tool enables systematic integration of business models into enterprise software and architecture environments, bridging a critical gap for practitioners and academics.
Why It Matters
It creates a rigorous, usable link between high-level strategy and the software systems that execute it.
