Invited Speaker
Title: Business-IT Alignment in Value Webs Value webs are constellations of
profit-and-loss responsible actors thathave independent decision-making
authority and that have decided to cooperate for a specific
purpose. To the extent that the actors are independent, they each decide
independently whether to participate in the network, and because they
are profit-and loss responsible, this decision will be based on
economic sustainability of the participation. This sustainability depends on
the balance between the costs and benefits of participating. The
costs are generated by the coordination process and IT infrastructure
required to participate; the benefits materialize in the form of
commercial transactions enabled by the participation. In this talk I
summarize results of recent research into conceptual modeling techniques
to design economically sustainable IT-enabled value webs.
