This paper considers a particular type of business network, namely, \u201cservice ecosystems\u201d, and proposes architecture for enabling business firms to: control dissemination and usage of the resources they contribute to the ecosystem; and develop corresponding service offerings.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 A literature review informed our research work and contextualized the development of relevant research questions. The research questions were based on unstructured, creative techniques (e.g. brainstorming), combined with rigorous requirements specification for software tools developed as part of this research. Overall development was based on service science and enterprise interoperability research, distilled in four principles that provided the context and direction for this work.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 Three key components of the proposed architecture were developed: service map, which identifies the building blocks needed to construct a service ecosystem; interoperability model, as a decision-making mechanism for dynamic (re-) arrangement of a service map\u2019s building blocks; and shared service infrastructure for the provision of support services to all ecosystem participants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>\u2013 This research has advanced current thinking in developing and managing service ecosystems. By adopting a service science viewpoint (service value co-creation, value-in-use), a holistic approach for building collaboration capabilities is described: at the enterprise level, it pertains to decision-making mechanisms for service provision; at the ecosystem level, it pertains to a software platform for managing common collaboration tasks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jsit-02-2014-0015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,29]],"date-time":"2014-08-29T03:32:37Z","timestamp":1409283157000},"page":"233-248","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Developing and managing digital service ecosystems: a service science viewpoint"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Konstadinos","family":"Kutsikos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Nikolaos","family":"Konstantopoulos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Damianos","family":"Sakas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yiannis","family":"Verginadis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122923425869200_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Agostinho, C. and Goncalves, R.
