Whilst researching the structure, organization and benefits of business eco-systems, I came across two great books that I used as reference to create a POC for dynamic contracts:
- Platform Revolution by Jeremy G. Philips
- Platform Scale by Sangeet P. Choudary
- Platform Ecosystems by Amrit Tiwana
For the research I looked first into:
- The value proposition of eco-systems
- The opportunities and evolution of eco-systems
- The building blocks to create eco-systems
These all can be visualized by Platform Canvas Model i.e. a business model canvas for eco-systems.
A second part is on:
- Eco-systems barriers and challenges
- Where is the money or revenue in eco-systems
Finally we dive into:
- The high-level architecture
- The required micro-services and API’s
- Business process overview and an architecture for dynamic contracts
