Abstract

With the emergence of digital business ecosystems, new control mechanisms are required to sustainably ensure responsiveness on dynamically evolving consumer demand, as well as goal congruence with the platform providers´ strategic goals. Based on system theoretical reflections, we propose a 3-layer reference architecture that collects data on service interactions, aggregates monitoring and feedback information and thus provides data basis for the said control mechanisms.
