Hardy, Rachel L. "The future of UK university presses in the electronic environment." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2005. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/8276.
Full textAbstract:
Scholarly communication of all types is changing dramatically with the introduction of electronic technologies. This new environment means that standalone print publishing risks being left behind, and as many STM journals acquired or launched by commercial publishers have been subject to dramatic price rises in the last few years, there has been much talk of ways to by-pass commercial publishers. The scholarly publishing market is fertile ground for innovation and there has been a lack of objective research regarding the UK university press. Despite the many changes that have occurred in the scholarly publishing industry in recent years, university presses in the UK that have not been in the forefront of innovation have remained minor players. The research focused on the university press, it's current situation and it's role in the electronic future. The research included: case studies that were conducted at both UK and USA university presses, along with the corresponding libraries, a questionnaire which was sent to academic authors that had published with both a university press and a commercial publishing house, and both qualitative and quantitative questionnaires sent to all operating UK university press directors. The thesis argues that university presses (in particular the smaller presses), as not for-profit organisations, are in a prime position to increase their power in the scholarly publishing system and can make changes to provide valued services to the Higher Education Community. Findings show that university presses, both in the USA as well as the UK, have faced, and continue to face change. Lack of funding and HEI support continues to make the traditional publishing role of the university presses difficult, and, in many cases, has caused the closure and sale of university presses in the UK. The university press continues to play an important role, and will continue to do so in the near future. However, in order for smaller university presses in the UK to remain sustainable, they must continue to adapt to, and take advantage of, change, recognise the value they add to the scholarly communication system and not rely on others to improve their situation. They cannot remain static in a changing environment. Through the work with university presses three potential business plans are proposed for a UK organisation of university presses, along with two business models to help the presses adapt to the changing environment and continue to play a role that is required by the HEI. Based on the results and conclusions of the research recommendations are made to stakeholders and ideas for further research are identified.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Introduction: This thesis concerns the loyalty variables within the publishing industry. The author has chosen to investigate the following publishing companies: Albert Bonniers, Norstedts, Ordupplaget and Leopard Publishing by using a Network perspective as well as a Transactional and Relationship marketing perspective.</p><p>Aim/purpose: The purpose of this essay is to analyse important variables to create author loyalty.</p><p>Methodology: Data was collected through a total of 18 interviews that were conducted face to face or via telephone with authors and their respective publisher. A gap analysis was then conducted in order to see if any discrepancies existed between what authors valued and what their publisher’s thought they valued.</p><p>Results: The research shows that gaps were bigger and more frequent in big traditional publishing companies. As a result, author’s loyalty level was also lower. Authors with Albert Bonnier demonstrated a low level of loyalty, there is a high level of dissatisfaction and most authors would change to another company if offered a higher compensation. Norstedts authors also show a significant level of dissatisfaction, however, they would only consider changing companies if the new publisher also offered “traditional” publishing company values, such as good reading, credibility, and a stable company.</p><p>Authors with small publishing companies demonstrated a high level of loyalty; this could be due to the non-existing gaps between publishers and their authors. There is a high level of agreement on goals and authors’ satisfaction level is very high. Authors would not consider changing publisher and companies unless their existing company showed a low level of interest in their new script.</p><p>Conclusions: The author of this thesis concludes that all authors seem to value involvement and interest from their publisher more than money. The crucial part seems to be that publishers show a genuine interest in their authors’ scripts and dedicate time to authors and their personal development. Publishers in small companies seem to live up to their author’s expectations, publishers in traditional publishing companies are most of the time aware of their author’s expectations, they do, however, not cater for them. Small companies enjoyed a more favourable position, where gaps were small or non-existent and authors demonstrated a high level of loyalty.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Scholarly communication is being revolutionized by widespread access to international, noncommercial computer networks, such as BITNET and Internet. I will call these interconnected networks, along with their commercial counterparts, the "Net." The Net has become an essential communication tool for librarians, scholars, and researchers. Recognizing these changes, the Coalition for Networked Information has sketched a new model for scholarly publication, which envisions electronic article files being stored on Net computers and being available upon demand. The acquisition-on-demand model raises many questions about how such an electronic service would function in detail. This paper will identify a number of possible dimensions of the model and provide some personal reactions to this expanded view of the model. It will focus on serials that are primarily published in electronic form on networks (these journals also may be published in microfiche, floppy disk, or another format for distribution to non-network users).

Hitchcock, Stephen Meirion. "Perspectives in electronic publishing : experiments with a new electronic journal model." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2002. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/258233/.
Full textAbstract:
The Internet and subsequently the World Wide Web made it possible for individual authors and new, independently-produced electronic publications to reach vastly greater numbers of readers than had previously been possible. The proliferation of electronic versions of commercial print journals that followed, however, has so far done little to alter the formal structures, character and culture of scholarly journals from the user’s perspective. The Web also represents the first large-scale use of a hypertext system, but hypertext developers have been disdainful of it as a limited implementation of other models. In turn, a criticism of some hypertext systems is that they have been too focused on system performance rather than the needs of users. This thesis examines the contention that augmenting the Web with a hypertext linking service will support the development of a new type of interconnected journal that allows users to explore individual lines of enquiry more efficiently. In this case the ‘journal’ frames a user-centric information environment, where selected documents can be distributed and accessed anywhere on the Web. Editorially-added links act as the binding between the resources selected for inclusion, and the selection and commentary on documents exercise the journal’s editorial ‘voice’. A ‘journal’ based on this model was built and subjected to extensive evaluation by a targetted specialist group. In a series of tests these users were invited to offer their views on this and more general journal models; because this was not a hypothetical model their responses could be cross-checked against the results of their experiences of using the new journal model. Thus, users could not hide their true preferences. Although small in number, the target evaluation group provided strong reactions both for and against the model, revealing some of the challenges that radical new electronic journal models face if the structure of the traditional printed journal is to be displaced in favour of journals that can properly exploit the prospect of fully interconnected and accessible networked distribution.

Full textAbstract:
The Victorian publishing industry has been frequently analysed, debated and discussed within the fields of book history, publishing history, media studies and literary studies, yet there is a gap within academic business research on the publishing industry from the approach of organisational studies, in particular from the perspective of new institutionalism. This research examines how the business practices of organisations in the British publishing industry - which I refer to as literary businesses - developed in the Victorian era, by exploring the formation of these practices in relation to wider societal influences. My research analyses how authors, publishers and literary agents instigated and reproduced business practices in the industry, examining why these practices became accepted and legitimised. This historically oriented research is constructed around primary and archival sources, in particular trade periodicals, personal letters and business documents.

Full textAbstract:
L’essor du journalisme à une échelle industrielle à partir du XIXe siècle s’est principalement construit sur la mise en rapport d’investissements et intérêts nombreux, remise en question dans le contexte de l’économie numérique. Ce travail de recherche veut contribuer à la compréhension des transformations contemporaines du journalisme en s’intéressant aux conditions d’existence matérielle de cette pratique de production discursive, aux changements qui se déploient dans les organisations médiatiques ainsi qu’aux stratégies et discours qui sont mobilisés. En France et au Québec, cette recherche porte sur deux groupes médiatiques, Ouest-France et Québecor, impliqués notamment dans la presse écrite et se saisissant des problématiques liées au numérique depuis le milieu des années 1990. Les modèles d’affaires des deux groupes et les intérêts des différents acteurs se voient modifiés, sans que le journalisme ne parvienne à assurer une autonomie économique. Sa position de subordination se voit renforcée dans les modèles et dispositifs progressivement déployés. Cette transformation en cours, au sein des groupes industriels, se construit alors autant au travers de changements organisationnels que dans et par le discours. Ce travail repose sur des approches empiriques croisées, permettant une analyse documentaire au sein et autour des deux groupes, ainsi qu’une analyse du discours, fondée notamment sur des entretiens avec des dirigeants, cadres et travailleurs de l’information. Au croisement de ces approches, c’est la transformation du journalisme et de son économie qui apparaît, non comme un objectif à venir, mais comme un processus à l’oeuvre. Déployant ses priorités, elle se construit autant dans les investissements que les discours, et laisse des traces qui sont l’objet de ce travail doctoral<br>The rise of journalism at an industrial scale from the XIXth century was mainly based upon the economic alliance between several interests and investments sources, and which are now challenged in the digital economy context. This research aims at contributing to a better understanding of the contemporary transformations of this practice of discursive production, together with changes taking place within media organizations as well as strategies and discourses at stake. In both France and Quebec, this research focus on two media groups, Ouest-France and Québecor, notably involved in newspapers, and confronted with digital issues since the mid-1990s. Both business models and stakeholders interests are changing, while journalism does not manage to ensure economic independence. Its subordination position is somewhat reinforced through models and apparatuses gradually rolled out. This ongoing transformation is built through both organizational changes and discourse. This doctoral research was based on cross-Empirical approaches, using document analysis within and around the two groups, as well as discourse analysis. The latter was based in particular on interviews with executives, managers and information workers. This research design and the junction of these approaches reveal that the transformation of journalism and its economy appears not as mere goal to com, but as a process already at work. By leaving some records and traces, covered by this doctoral work, this transformation builds as well upon investments and discourses

The thesis covers the phenomenon of business model innovation. It provides with theoretical background of the concept based on the works of several scientists who stand at the beginnings of the discipline. The paper also introduces the principles of design thinking applied to business model innovation in order to get superior results and serve as a guideline for ideation processes and presenting enhancements to existing business models. The practical part is devoted to applying the described concepts on examples from real life, which can especially help small companies in their battle with incumbents. Three industries are analyzed to see the flaws with the current state of things. New business models that can disrupt corresponding industries are offered at the end of each case.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis reports on a study towards a sustainable open access scholarly publishing model in South Africa. The researcher defined the traditional scholarly publishing model as a foundation for scholarly publishing workflows and processes and the continuation of the publishing workflow as a sustainable business model. This model is simplified in this study to allow for further discussion in the investigation of the various business models of scholarly publishing. The researcher conducted a literature study to identify and define business models used in open access scholarly publishing in the international context and also developed a set of factors contributing to sustainability in this environment. These factors were then used to evaluate and investigate typical examples of open access role players in the South African context, using a desk study and interviews documented as case studies of the various initiatives.
The researcher combined all these findings to make suggestions towards a sustainable open access scholarly publishing by identifying and exploring the various factors associated with open access models in South Africa, considering the roles of all the role players towards output of high quality research articles.
The study found that South African scholarly publishers find the shift from a traditional subscription model to an open access model difficult, because they are not addressing their new client segment and also not acknowledging their own expertise within the publishing cycle.The research also indicates that the approach of either subscription or open access hinders a sustainable open access publishing model, but that the publishing community should instead encourage an approach a publishing environment that allows for both of these models to exist and function. Open access should not replace the traditional model but instead, enhance it.<br>Dissertation (MIS)--University of Pretoria, 2015.<br>Information Science<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
<p> Business model innovation, business model enablers, and strategic agility are terms explicitly evaluated and explored by researchers and practitioners. The focus of this dissertation research project included the previous terms and the respective associations with business and leadership decision-making in the context of strategy and innovation. Research design and methodologies included a qualitative, embedded, single case-study through one-on-one, in-depth interviews with primary decision-makers from small technology companies in Minnesota, United States. Primary respondent qualifications were: (a) minimum of five years of experience, (b) minimum of five subordinates, and (c) decision power to influence business model innovation, business model enablers, or strategic agility. Three research questions guided the project: (1) How do the pillars of strategic agility (strategic sensitivity, leadership unity, and resource fluidity) affect business model innovations? (2) How can managers apply the pillars of strategic agility to enhance organizational strategic agility? and (3) How do senior leadership teams manage the contradictions and paradoxes within strategic agility? Respondent interviews were imported and analyzed through Nvivo qualitative data analytics software (QDAS). Over 50 findings are narrated in Chapter 4, of which included one of the key findings: Every company was actively engaged in the paradox, but none of the company leaders specifically calculated or processed the exact phrase – strategic agility paradox. Proposed in Chapter 5 are the set of recommendations for future researchers. The recommendations advocate research in or on contrasting industries and geographies, respondents with contrasting profiles, supplementary qualitative and quantitative techniques, alternative strategic agility pillars, and new research questions.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The traditional print publishing industry has been faced with significant change over the past decade. Advances in technology have led to the increased digitisation of business processes, and have debatably brought e-books to the brink of the mainstream market. With the growing popularity of e-books in the trade market come several opportunities for publishers to expand, improve and differentiate their businesses. But publishers also face a very challenging time ahead to successfully implement digital publishing in their business processes.
This study examines the implications of digitisation and digital publishing on publishing business processes in the traditional print publishing environment. The research considers digital publishing as a disruptive technology in the publishing industry, and draws on the context and predictive value of disruptive technology theory. Disruptive technology theory examines why, when faced with a disruptive technology, some firms succeed in the marketplace, and others fail. The research applied
the principles and predictions of disruptive technology theory to the publishing industry to develop a set of recommendations for publishers implementing digital publishing processes.
The research employed a mixed methodology design that included an extensive literature review and an online survey of South African book publishers. The literature provided an overview of the issues surrounding digital publishing, and the opportunities and challenges that publishers are faced with. Literature on disruptive technology theory served to establish trends in industries faced with disruptive technology, and uncovered recommendations for its successful implementation.
The researcher made use of an online survey that was sent to South African trade publishers that had already started experimenting with digital publishing in 2010 or 2011, or had plans to do so during the course of 2011 and 2012. The survey was designed to uncover the current state of digital publishing in the South African trade publishing industry, to discover the approaches that publishers are currently taking, and the barriers to implementation that they are experiencing.
The research confirmed that the current state of digital publishing in South Africa, and the problems that publishers are experiencing, are characteristic of industries faced with disruptive technology.
The principles of disruptive technology can therefore be applied to develop recommendations and suggest strategies for publishers planning to venture into digital publishing.
Although the focus of the research was on South African trade publishers, the results and recommendations that emerged from the research can be applied to the wider international publishing industry.<br>Dissertation (MIS)--University of Pretoria, 2012.<br>gm2013<br>Information Science<br>unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
In the world of today, constant change is the “new normal”. The context of our global economy calls for a new set of entrepreneurial leaders; leaders who embrace and diligently find the way forward for their organizations. In this context, leading decision makers need efficient tools for smart business model decision-making. (Ries, 2011) Thus, this thesis sets out to answer following questions, with the purpose to inform those seeking a fundament for advantageous business model decision-making. MAIN QUESTION: Can the Business Model Canvas be an advantageous tool for business model decision-making in large enterprises? SUB QUESTION 1: What are the limitations of the Business Model Canvas in the decision-making process? SUB QUESTION 2: What modifications might be applied to increase the relevance of the Business Model Canvas as a tool for large enterprises? To answer these questions, the thesis presents relevant theory regarding key concepts behind the business model, frameworks and tools commonly used in the startup community (the Business Model Canvas, Customer Development, Lean Startup, and Lean Canvas), as well as an overview of the concepts of strategy and dynamic capabilities. The empirical procedure begins with hybrid brainstorming sessions and in-depth interviews, and continues with a workshop and evaluation interviews and questionnaires. The empirical work is conducted with Microsoft Sweden Services’ executive leadership team, spanning a time period of approximately one month. The results are derived by reviewing the empirical findings in light of theory. In short, the results show: (1) That five out of six leadership team members regarded the Business Model Canvas (BMC) as a 4 or 5 on a 1-5 scale, ranging from “Prefer traditional tools” (e.g. a business plan), to “Prefer the BMC” (2) That the following areas where identified as “Key areas of improvement” by the leadership team (number of members considering this a key area for improvement in brackets): Connection to strategy (4/6), Connection to organizational capabilities (3/6), Connection to values (2/6), Mixing different levels of abstraction (1/6), Connection to compete (5/6), Ability to track development over time (4/6) The results are then discussed and analyzed, presenting critique of and limitations to the tools, as well as suggesting modification and a new model, The Business Model House (The BMH), which was created by this researcher and is based on following decisions: Integrate chosen aspects of the BMC and the Lean Canvas Add a foundation of values Add a ceiling of strategy Add an intersection of dynamic capabilities Add a third, optional, dimension capturing the transition between business models and innovation accounting. The purpose of these development decisions is to offer a more holistic and yet simple tool for business model decision-making.

Smirnov, Sergey. "Business process model abstraction." Phd thesis, Universität Potsdam, 2011. http://opus.kobv.de/ubp/volltexte/2012/6025/.
Full textAbstract:
Business process models are used within a range of organizational initiatives, where every stakeholder has a unique perspective on a process and demands the respective model. As a consequence, multiple process models capturing the very same business process coexist. Keeping such models in sync is a challenge within an ever changing business environment: once a process is changed, all its models have to be updated. Due to a large number of models and their complex relations, model maintenance becomes error-prone and expensive. Against this background, business process model abstraction emerged as an operation reducing the number of stored process models and facilitating model management. Business process model abstraction is an operation preserving essential process properties and leaving out insignificant details in order to retain information relevant for a particular purpose. Process model abstraction has been addressed by several researchers. The focus of their studies has been on particular use cases and model transformations supporting these use cases.
This thesis systematically approaches the problem of business process model abstraction shaping the outcome into a framework. We investigate the current industry demand in abstraction summarizing it in a catalog of business process model abstraction use cases. The thesis focuses on one prominent use case where the user demands a model with coarse-grained activities and overall process ordering constraints. We develop model transformations that support this use case starting with the transformations based on process model structure analysis. Further, abstraction methods considering the semantics of process model elements are investigated. First, we suggest how semantically related activities can be discovered in process models-a barely researched challenge. The thesis validates the designed abstraction methods against sets of industrial process models and discusses the method implementation aspects. Second, we develop a novel model transformation, which combined with the related activity discovery allows flexible non-hierarchical abstraction. In this way this thesis advocates novel model transformations that facilitate business process model management and provides the foundations for innovative tool support.<br>Geschäftsprozessmodelle werden in einer Fülle organisatorischer Initiativen eingesetzt, wobei verschiedene Stakeholder individuelle Ansprüche an die Sicht auf den jeweiligen Prozess haben. Dies führt dazu, dass zu einem Geschäftsprozess eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Modelle existiert. In einer sich ständig verändernden Geschäftsumgebung ist es daher schwierig, diese Vielzahl von Modellen konsistent zu halten: Ändert sich sich ein Prozess, müssen alle Modelle, die ihn beschreiben, aktualisiert werden. Aufgrund der schieren Menge an Prozessmodellen und ihrer komplexen Beziehungen zueinander, erhöhen sich Aufwand und Kosten zur Pflege aller Modelle enorm. Vor diesem Hintergrund ermöglicht die Abstraktion von Geschäftsprozessmodellen, die Menge der Modelle zu reduzieren und damit ihre Verwaltung zu vereinfachen. Abstraktion von Geschäftsprozessmodellen bezeichnet eine Transformation eines Prozessmodells, so dass es für einen bestimmten Zweck besonders geeignet ist. Bei der Abstraktion von Geschäftsprozessen bleiben essentielle Eigenschaften eines Modells erhalten, während irrelevante Eigenschaften verworfen werden. Mehrere Studien stellen Prozessmodellabstraktion in den Fokus und konzentrieren sich auf konkrete Anwendungsfälle, für die sie geeignete Transformationen entwickelt haben.
Diese Dissertation untersucht das Problem der Prozessmodellabstraktion und systematisiert die Lösung in einem Framework. Aktuelle Anforderungen der Industrie an die Abstraktion von Prozessmodellen wurden recherchiert und in einem Katalog von Anwendungsfällen zusammengefasst, von denen ein besonderer für die weiteren Untersuchungen ausgewählt wurde. In diesem Fall erwartet der Nutzer ein Modell niedrigeren Detailgrades, in welchem die Kontrollflussbeziehungen des Ursprungsmodells erhalten bleiben. Beginnend bei Modelltransformationen, die auf der Analyse der Prozessmodellstruktur aufbauen, entwickeln wir neuartige Abstraktionsoperationen zur Unterstützung dieses Anwendungsfalles. Darüber hinaus untersuchen wir Abstraktionsmethoden, welche die Semantik von Prozessmodellelementen berücksichtigen. Zum einen zeigen wir, wie Aktivitäten ermittelt werden können, die miteinander in semantischer Beziehung stehen - ein Problem, das bisher nur unzureichend betrachtet wurde. Die vorgeschlagenen Methoden werden mithilfe industrieller Prozessmodellsammlungen validiert und deren Umsetzung diskutiert. Zum anderen schlagen wir eine innovative Modelltransformation zur nicht-hierarchischen Abstraktion von Prozessmodellen vor. Dieser liegt die Ermittlung in Beziehung stehender Aktivitäten zugrunde. Demzufolge präsentiert diese Arbeit eine originäre Methode zur Prozessmodellabstraktion, die die Verwaltung von Geschäftsprozessmodellen vereinfacht und den Grundstein für innovative Softwarewerkzeuge legt.

A global CEO study conducted by IBM in 2006 showed that business model innovation has a higher correlation with operating margin growth than any other type of innovation. It is therefore not surprising that business model innovation is a buzzword increasingly seen in business jargon and literature. However, the field is quite novel and finding ways of approaching and understanding the subject has been more elusive. This thesis presents a comprehensive and academically founded approach to business model innovation, including a framework that can be applied by managers to transform their business, and building capabilities that can become a source of competitive advantage.

I sistemi di Business Process Management sono spesso utilizzati per migliorare ed aumentare la produttività di organizzazioni ed aziende. Per tali sistemi è importante controllare tutte le variabili (compreso il tempo) e lo stato di tutti gli stakeholders che entrano in gioco nei processi. Questi task consentono di aumentare la soddisfazione degli operatori, consentono di migliorare le stime in termini di tempistiche, di controllare le criticità ed in genere consentono di tenere sotto controllo tutti i processi aziendali di un’organizzazione. Nonostante questo molte aziende basano le loro analisi su modelli di processi molto semplici. Questo lavoro presenta un algoritmo denominato “Semantic Timed Model Checking“ applicato ai processi aziendali. Questo algoritmo è stato impiegato in scenari differenti come la selezione, la validazione ed il monitoring dei processi. L’approccio è basato sui seguenti step:
1) rappresentazione dei processi aziendali sotto forma di “semantically annotated timed transition systems” (ATTS), 2) rappresentazione delle specifiche basate su di una rappresentazione annotata semanticamente della logica “timed computation tree logic” (AnTCTL), e 3) un efficiente algoritmo di model checking. Gli ATTS permettono di tenere in considerazione le evoluzioni nel tempo dei processi di business, con i loro vincoli temporali. Questa logica è basata sui sistemi TTS.
L’importanza della semantica è notoriamente riconosciuta, ci consente infatti di fornire significati non ambigui ai processi e alle variabili che in essi entrano in gioco. A tal fine vengono utilizzati formalismi propri della logica descrittiva.
Questo lavoro presenta un’integrazione dei sistemi TTS e della rappresentazione semantica in un modo molto efficiente. La AnTCTL premette infatti di rappresentare i tradizionali indicatori di performance con una semantica propria e ben definita. Inoltre è possibile introdurre una serie di nuovi indicatori che non sarebbero invece definibili con i modelli di processi aziendali tradizionali.
L’algoritmo di model checking è un integrzione dell’algoritmo “timed model checking” con aggiunta di notazioni semantiche.
Questo lavoro può essere considerato il primo passo verso l’utlizzo del semantic timed model checking nei problemi di analisi delle performance dei processi aziendali. Il metodo proposto è stato applicato ad un in caso di studio basato su processi aziendali reali.<br>Business Process Management systems are often used to improve the productivity of organizations and companies. For such systems, it is important to control all the variables (among them the time) and the status of all the stakeholders that are involved into the processes. This task aims at improving the employee satisfaction, the estimation of time and criticalities, and the control of business processes of an organization. In spite of this important task, most of the companies base their analysis on very simple process models.
This work presents a Semantic Timed Model Checking algorithm for Business Processes. It has been used as a basic tool in several scenarios such as process selection, process validation, and process monitoring. The approach relies on:
1) a representation of business processes based on semantically annotated timed transition systems (ATTS), 2) a representation of specifications based on a semantically annotated version of timed computation tree logic (AnTCTL), and 3) an efficient model checking algorithm. The ATTS allows us to take into account the temporal evolution of a business process, with its temporal constraints. This is based on Timed Transition Systems. The importance of semantics is also widely recognized. Indeed, semantics allows us to provide a non-ambiguous meaning to process activities and variables. According to the mainstream, the semantics relies on Description Logic. As a consequence, this work presents an integration of timed transition systems and semantic representation technologies in an efficient way. The AnTCTL allows us to represent the traditional performance indicators with a well-founded semantics. Furthermore, it is possible to define a new set of indicators that it is not possible to define with the traditional business process models. The model checking algorithm is an integration of traditional timed model checking techniques with semantic reasoning. This algorithm has been proved to be sound and complete and PSPACE-Complete.
This work can be considered the first step towards the use of semantic timed model checking in problems of performance analysis for Business Processes. The proposed approach has been applied to real world case studies.

Negli ultimi anni stiamo assistendo a un periodo di forti cambiamenti e le imprese si trovano ad operare in un contesto economico molto turbolento e in continua evoluzione. La nostra società infatti è stata investita da vari trend economici, tecnologici, ambientali e sociali che hanno portato le aziende a dover fronteggiare situazioni sempre meno governabili e pianificabili e spesso ad affrontare consistenti periodi di crisi. Di fronte ad un contesto così dinamico, è emerso un rilevante problema: l’attuale modello di business di molte imprese è spesso inadeguato e insostenibile rispetto ai bisogni e alle sfide sempre più urgenti che la società ci pone davanti. È necessario quindi che le imprese prendano coscienza di ciò e rivedano il proprio business model in un’ottica innovativa di creazione di valore condiviso: un approccio che conduca alla creazione di valore economico con modalità tali da creare valore anche per la società stessa.
In questo elaborato viene esplicato come l’innovazione strategica sociale possa essere una soluzione a questo problema e un’opportunità per far rinascere dei modelli di business sostenibili e coerenti con l’ambiente in cui le aziende si trovano ad operare. Dopo aver spiegato in modo approfondito in cosa consiste questo fenomeno e aver fatto un confronto con la responsabilità sociale di impresa, si è proceduto prima con l’individuazione di alcune tipologie di Shared value business model, e poi alla loro analisi circa la realizzazione simultanea di progressi sociali e vantaggi a livello di profitto per le aziende che li adottano.

Recent disruption to the art market has dismantled traditional barriers to entry for new artists and created opportunities for them to reach audiences and develop micro businesses from their practice. However, the majority of Australian artists are untrained in creating profitable business models from their art practice. In order for artists to identify potential opportunities they must rethink their current business strategies and resultant business model. This research project provides a practical tool for use in the business model innovation process by refining Osterwalder and Pigneur’s Business Model Canvas specifically for visual arts practitioners.

To a rapidly increasing degree, traditional organizational structures evolve in large parts of the world towards online business using modern Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capabilities. For efficient applications of inter-organizational information systems, the alignment between business and ICT is a key factor. In this context, business analysis using business modelling can be regarded as a first step in designing economically sustainable e-business solutions. This thesis examines how business modeling can be used to improve e-business design. We examine how business stakeholder intentions and different objectives of business collaborations can be used to obtain an explorative business model that can be used as a basis for designing e-business solutions. The thesis proposes a set of artifacts for business modeling and e-service design. In regard to business modeling, we propose methods that consider internal aspects such as strategic intentions of actors and external aspects such as business collaborations among them. Considering stakeholder intentions, we introduce a method to design business models based on goal models. A set of templates for designing goal models and a set of transformation rules to obtain business models based on goal models are proposed. To further improve business models considering business collaborations, we suggest a classification of business transactions that considers underlying business objectives of business collaborations. Utilizing the suggested business transactions, we then propose a method to improve business modeling. Finally, we propose a method for designing e-services using business models. The methods suggested support business modelers as well as process and services designers in executing their tasks effectively. The methods have been assessed through applications in two cases.

Full textAbstract:
Business process management is fast becoming one of the most important approaches for designing contemporary organizations and information systems. A critical component of business process management is business process modelling. It is widely accepted that modelling of business processes from scratch is a complex, time-consuming and error-prone task. However the efforts made to model these processes are seldom reused beyond their original purpose. Reuse of business process models has the potential to overcome the challenges of modelling business processes from scratch. Process model repositories, properly populated, are certainly a step toward supporting reuse of process models. This thesis starts with the observation that the existing process model repositories for supporting process model reuse suffer from several shortcomings that affect their usability in practice. Firstly, most of the existing repositories are proprietary, therefore they can only be enhanced or extended with new models by the owners of the repositories. Secondly, it is difficult to locate and retrieve relevant process models from a large collection. Thirdly, process models are not goal related, thereby making it difficult to gain an understanding of the business goals that are realized by a certain model. Finally, process model repositories lack a clear mechanism to identify and define the relationship between business processes and as a result it is difficult to identify related processes. Following a design science research paradigm, this thesis proposes an open and language-independent process model repository with an efficient retrieval system to support process model reuse. The proposed repository is grounded on four original and interrelated contributions: (1) a set of requirements that a process model repository should possess to increase the probability of process model reuse; (2) a context-based process semantic annotation model for semantically annotating process models to facilitate effective retrieval of process models; (3) a business process relationship meta-model for identifying and defining the relationship of process models in the repository; and (4) architecture of a process model repository for process model reuse. The models and architecture produced in this thesis were evaluated to test their utility, quality and efficacy. The semantic annotation model was evaluated through two empirical studies using controlled experiments. The conclusion drawn from the two studies is that the annotation model improves searching, navigation and understanding of process models. The process relationship meta-model was evaluated using an informed argument to determine the extent to which it meets the established requirements. The results of the analysis revealed that the meta-model meets the established requirements. Also the analysis of the architecture against the requirements indicates that the architecture meets the established requirements.<br>Processhantering, också kallat ärendehantering, har blivit en av de viktigaste ansatserna för att utforma dagens organisationer och informationssystem. En central komponent i processhantering är processmodellering. Det är allmänt känt att modellering av processer kan vara en komplex, tidskrävande och felbenägen uppgift. Och de insatser som görs för att modellera processer kan sällan användas bortom processernas ursprungliga syfte. Återanvändning av processmodeller skulle kunna övervinna många av de utmaningar som finns med att modellera processer. En katalog över processmodeller är ett steg mot att stödja återanvändning av processmodeller. Denna avhandling börjar med observationen att befintliga processmodellkataloger för att stödja återanvändning av processmodeller lider av flera brister som påverkar deras användbarhet i praktiken. För det första är de flesta processmodellkatalogerna proprietära, och därför kan endast katalogägarna förbättra eller utöka dem med nya modeller. För det andra är det svårt att finna och hämta relevanta processmodeller från en stor katalog. För det tredje är processmodeller inte målrelaterade, vilket gör det svårt att få en förståelse för de affärsmål som realiseras av en viss modell. Slutligen så saknar processmodellkataloger ofta en tydlig mekanism för att identifiera och definiera förhållandet mellan processer, och därför är det svårt att identifiera relaterade processer. Utifrån ett designvetenskapligt forskningsparadigm så föreslår denna avhandling en öppen och språkoberoende processmodellkatalog med ett effektivt söksystem för att stödja återanvändning av processmodeller. Den föreslagna katalogen bygger på fyra originella och inbördes relaterade bidrag: (1) en uppsättning krav som en processmodellkatalog bejöver uppfylla för att öka möjligheterna till återanvändning av processmodeller; (2) en kontextbaserad semantisk processannoteringsmodell för semantisk annotering av processmodeller för att underlätta effektivt återvinnande av processmodeller; (3) en metamodell för processrelationer för att identifiera och definiera förhållandet mellan processmodeller i katalogen; och (4) en arkitektur av en processmodellkatalog för återanvändning av processmodeller. De modeller och den arkitektur som tagits fram i denna avhandling har utvärderats för att testa deras användbarhet, kvalitet och effektivitet. Den semantiska annotationsmodellen utvärderades genom två empiriska studier med kontrollerade experiment. Slutsatsen av de två studierna är att modellen förbättrar sökning, navigering och förståelse för processmodeller. Metamodellen för processrelationer utvärderades med hjälp av ett informerat argument för att avgöra i vilken utsträckning den uppfyllde de ställda kraven. Resultaten av analysen visade att metamodellen uppfyllde dessa krav. Även analysen av arkitekturen indikerade att denna uppfyllde de fastställda kraven.

The current business landscape is vastly different from that of a decade ago, due to the continuous technological advancements influencing all aspects of business strategy. This digital evolution impacting organisations has increased the necessity for organisational leaders to incorporate new digital capabilities into their digital business strategies and the design of their digital business models. There is thus a need for organisations to design digital business models that enable them to not only remain competitive, but to also capitalise on the opportunities available to them in the new digital world.
The findings of this research indicate that six business model components that were postulated to form part of a digital business model design are statistically significant in influencing the success of a digital business strategy. In addition, the results indicate the cumulative effect these business model components have in determining the success of the digital business strategy. Furthermore, the results enable the ranking of the various business model components regarding their importance in cumulatively influencing the success of the digital business strategy.
Comparative and multivariate data analysis was conducted on 97 employees who operated on a strategic level within organisations, where a digital business strategy was present and/or where the organisation offered digital products and/or services to the market. As such, only middle to senior level employees who were involved with digital strategy development and execution formed part of the research.<br>Mini Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2015.<br>vn2016<br>Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS)<br>MBA<br>Unrestricted

<p>The accelerating growth of e-business and technologies has raised the interest in transforming traditional business models or developing new ones. Most of the e-business model research has been devoted to giving taxonomies of e-business models. Though defining e-business model and decomposing it into atomic elements traditionally has been a task for researchers, the concepts surrounding them have been subject to debate lately. While there is an extensive research conducted towards identifying and analyzing key components in e-business models, limited research has been noted in identifying component values or factors and the interconnections between components. In this thesis we review the e-business models literature using literature study in order to give an overview of e-business model definitions, identify the component values and interconnections between components and finally a framework provided that shows all these components, values and interconnections.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Services constitute three quarters of all economic activities worldwide. The growing importance of the service industry cannot be neglected and it is obvious that services can offer colossal opportunities on the way of creating and capturing economic value. The way to prosperity for companies and economies is in their ability to rethink the existing business with the purpose to innovate. Service innovation is believed to be a source of companies’ competitiveness. Leveraging innovation of services is not an easy task and requires a new thinking which implies the shift towards service business logic. In order to innovate services effectively, there is a need to develop new business models. A business model is a significant assistant which can help to create viable services by taking into consideration appropriate customer needs and organizational resources. However, the majority of approaches to innovation occurred from product-oriented business models. The growing tendency of services requires changing traditional approaches and developing new service-based business models. The main aim of this thesis is to study the process of transformation (innovation) of a product-oriented business model towards a service-centered one which implies stronger customer focus and to identify the main components that constitute the business model framework in the service context. The empirical data was collected from a single case study of ISS Sweden and analyzed according to the developed framework from literature findings regarding business model innovation in the service context. The most important findings reveal the fact that the business model perspective should be taken into account as more holistic approach which integrates all processes and components within the company. However, some of the components were found missing and it was not supported by the literature findings. During the transformation process the major changes were identified while looking at each component in detail and the most important components of a service business model framework were identified, specifically customer, value proposition and value delivery which comprise the following key factors: ● Customer is a co-creator, co-producer and a key partner ● Employees are the main source of successful value delivery ● Service innovation is a necessity

Purpose of the study is to understand how Taiwanese publishing industry apply Osterwalder model to innovate and improve Business model.
The research method is analyzing related documents, then having in-depth interviews with publishing industry practitioners and applying Osterwalder nine building blocks as based model, at last, sorting out and analyzing the conclusion. With the information I get, finding that the industry doesn’t understand the theory of operation. After interviews I notice that the industry thinks staff training can make theory and practice improve the business model. It also believes that advantages and key of operating lie in the value of the brand and product claims and cost structure. The disadvantage is the lack of resources. To overcome that, we can improve business through innovative product development and transformation, also with key partners. After that I may start to sort out and analyze the conclusion.

Taiwan publishers are now confronted with the pressure from internet innovation and thus are forced to find out a new business model and more opportunity. This study will focus on the possible business model of digital publishing and the strategy of IP management which Taiwan publishers should adopt.
Digital publishing suggests an all-digitalized publication process. Every step of publication, from content creation, editing, publishing, selling to application, can be completed all through the internet. The platform of digital publishing serves to communicate both side of content providers and users. Hence, copyright of the digital content and the management of copyright becomes one of the most important intellectual property issues.
The thesis will begin with Chris Anderson’s Long Tail theory. Two websites of digital publishing in Taiwan will be chosen for analysis: the Business Weekly as the commercial plaform and PIXNET Blog as the avocational one. Through the comparison, the study aims to find out the connections between the business model and the intellectual property management.
According to the case studies, the content and the intellectual property management of commercial platform are unidirectional, decided by managers. On the other hand, tthese of avocational one are bidirectional, influenced by website managers and users. Intellectual property managements are influenced by different business model. However, it would be the trend that the barrier between commercial platform and the avocational one will melt away and the business model of website in the future will change. The business model and intellectual property management of digital publishing platform should combine characteristics of both commercial and avocational one.

A Study on the Business Model of Book Publishing Business:
The Case of China Times Book Publishing Company
After five decades’ development, the Taiwanese book publishing industry is now getting matured and is facing a lot of challenges, such as fragmented structure and too much competition due to very low barriers to entry (there are now more than 6,000 publishers in Taiwan）, too many new book-titles being published each year (around 40,000 titles）, and there exists a rather high book-return-rate (around 40%）.
In addition to the above mentioned structural disadvantages to the incumbents, even worse are the threats from the penetration of the simplified-character books imported from Mainland China to Taiwan. Moreover, internet, TV and radio are grapping the readers’ attention from their book-reading time, habit and money. Other factors include the decreasing of book-purchasing due to the impact of Taiwan’s fading economy in the recent years and the difficulties for the publishers to obtain loan from bank …etc.
The present research undertook an industry analysis and identified several critical issues of development, including the entry and penetration to the Mainland China market, the challenge of digital publishing, and the multi-media publishing…etc. Next, we focus on the case company, China Times Publishing Company, which is relatively successful in the Taiwan book publishing market, and analyze her business model by employing the framework of value net (Bovet, Martha and Kramer, 2000). We detailed the elements of her business model in terms of her value proposition, scope of business operations, basis of profit capture, strategic control actions, and execution. Implications and strategic suggestions to book publishing companies are also discussed.

碩士<br>南華大學<br>出版事業管理研究所<br>95<br>In the context of textbook publishing market opening course and the developments afterwards, the case study explores the evolution process and business model of Kang Hsuan Educational Publishing Group (KHEP). From business model perspective, we analyze organization management of KHEP and its interaction effects with elementary education textbook industry environment. In academic, what we attempt to find out are business model, its relative factors and the interaction context of these factors. In practice, we try to figure out business model in textbook publishing industry, and further, analyze how the firms in textbook publishing industry evaluate environment, enterprise resources and capabilities so as to choose optimal strategies to create value for the whole industry.
The objectives of the case study are, in academic, describing the business model adopted by textbook firms of elementary education to enhance understanding to textbook publishing industry; moreover, in practice, presenting industrial structure of textbook publishing market, its impacts on firms and their interactions to advise with textbook and its relative industries.
As far as case study concerned, KHEP is represented at textbook publishing industry. We attempt to collect data critical to the case study from two aspects: ”fact data” and “in-depth interview” , and implement the case study by trigonometrical survey as well. Furthermore, as the case study frameworks, we probe into KHEP’s business model by data analysis methods and expert opinions to analyze textbook market, firms in the market, and their interactions.
In the light of case study frameworks, we find: (i) KHEP is good at taking advantages of industrial environment to integrate their own resources and capabilities. Consequently, they are able to construct appropriate business model for whole industry. In longitudinal, textbook publishing industry has gone through enormous changes. At the beginning of opening, the whole market is advantageous. However, in nowadays, industrial environment has become saturate and disadvantageous to all firms in the market. (ii) The development of KHEP could be divided into four phases. In Phase I (Phase Foundation), scale of KHEP isn’t big enough, and the institutions are still unsound. In Phase II (Phase Expansion), scale of KHEP burgeons, and institutions are establishing gradually. In Phase III (Phase Maturity), development of KHEP tends to get stable, and begins to diversify. In Phase IV (Phase Reform), KHEP has become conglomerate; begins to expand other business units, and the proportion of textbook turnover volume is stepping down as well.
In accordance with the findings above, the case study gives appropriate explains on KHEP’s business model. KHEP is clever at evaluating industrial environment to make optimal business strategy and effectively integrate their own resources and capabilities to create values for the whole industry.
Further research might focus on business model of other competitors in the textbook publishing market, and further, comparing with the differences among competitors to construct complete business model in Taiwan’s elementary education textbook publishing industry. Last but not the least, we suggest, in the diversification process, KHEP should enhance conglomerate management, consolidate conglomerate competitiveness, and cultivate long-term competition advantages.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>世新大學<br>圖文傳播暨數位出版學研究所(含碩專班)<br>99<br>Due to the proliferation of sophisticated publishing technologies, the threshold of publishing has been lowered. Everyone has a chance to self-publish his own work and become an author. These authors come into contact with their audiences face to face, sell their own books, and become best-selling writers. Bowker, the global leader in bibliographic information management, released statistics on U.S. book publishing for 2008 indicating that Print On Demand books exceeded the number of traditional books, and Print On Demand books were most likely published by indie publishers or self-publishers.
"Self-publishing", by its definition, means writers pay all the cost of publication, and they own every right over how they want their works to be published. "Diverse subjects/categories", "printed on demand", and "paid by the writers", all the characteristics of self-publishing seemingly are the solutions to the problems, such as "subject selection", "inventory pressure", and "fee collection", that traditional publishers have faced.

碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>經營管理碩士學程(EMBA)<br>96<br>Why does the international publishers can manage the international market successfully? Through the study we can understand not only the enforcement of the intellectual property (IP) law in place is important, but also the practice of various of business models . After World War II, international publishing companies were aggressively engaged in the implementation of intellectual property (IP) law, in order to provide regulation and protection to ensure their business profits in global market. In Asia, Japan was the first country to deploy specific law to protect both local and foreign businesses that involve intellectual property, for those who intended to expand their business into Asia. As a result of that, Japan became their first priority of choice to setup the overseas branches.
The development of publishing industry in Taiwan could retrospect to the 70’s to 80’s, the period of time that Taiwan was under the reign of Japan. Given the economic booming in the 90’s, Taiwanese businessmen thus had the opportunities to extend their antennae all over the world. International trading gradually became important and prevailing ever since. This annual event , International Taipei Book Fair (TIBF), held by the World Trade Center in Taiwan, always attracts vibrant attendance from both international traders and end customers. The trading volume in copyrights at the TIBF is huge and considered as the number one in Asian book fair markets.
The enforcement of IP law in Taiwan in 1992 was a key action that helped to eliminate Taiwan’s notoriety as a "Piracy Kingdom." Pursuant to such law, all illegal translations and unauthorized copies must be destroyed before the D-Day "612 deadline" in 1994. Since then, Taiwan has successfully turned over its long-haunted negative image in IP protection.
The business models are cited and organized from the interviews of four domestic and one international publishing company. The comparison of each Business models has summarized as a comprehensive chart for deduced case analysis. This study is conducted by a qualitative research method with the information abridged form in-depth interviews. It elucidates the current operation and unique internationalization experience of each referred company. Following the analysis of the Business model, current study gives a full set of internationalization model matrix suitable for domestic publishers who are interested in business globalization to use as a practical reference.
By drawing references and citing the business models from some of the major international publishers, the author is trying to make points of the strategic proposition and maneuvers on how to efficiently and successfully reach beyond the domestic market and be possessed of considerable shares in the competitive international market. The conclusion and suggestion drawn from current research are based on representative cases, yet expected to be able to precisely indicate the essence of business acquisitions internationalization in publishing industry first.

碩士<br>世新大學<br>圖文傳播暨數位出版學研究所(含碩專班)<br>98<br>In the past few years, due to the proliferation of sophisticated publishing technologies, the threshold of publishing has been lowered. Everyone has a chance to self-publish his own work and become an author. These authors come into contact with their audiences face to face, sell their own books, and become best-selling writers. Bowker, the global leader in bibliographic information management, released statistics on U.S. book publishing for 2008 indicating that Print On Demand books exceeded the number of traditional books, and Print On Demand books were most likely published by indie publisers or self-publishers.
"Self-publishing", by its definition, means writers pay all the cost of publication, and they own every right over how they want their works to be published. "Diverse subjects/categories", "printed on demand", and "paid by the writers", all the characteristics of self-publishing seemingly are the solutions to the problems, such as "subject selection", "inventory pressure", and "fee collection", that traditional publishers have faced. However, as the new types of publishing are developing, the number of readers who purchase actual paper books is decreasing, and the sales of physical books are declining, this takes us to the supply-demand imballance in the publishing market. In order to cope with this new publishing wave, how the structure of the publishing industry will change? how the publishers will reposition their roles?
This study selects five of the U.S. leading self-publishers (AuthorHouse, BookSurge, iUniverse, LuLu, and Xlibris) as its main research targets to build a self-publishing business model, and to discuss the keys to the sucess by applying the grounded theory methodology. Furthermore, through the in-depth interviews with the self-publishers and experts in Taiwan, it consolidates the doabilities and niches of doing self-publishing in Taiwan by comparing with the self-publishing methods conducted in the U.S., expecting to use the result of this research to foresee the new aspects of the publishing environment in Taiwan in the digital era.

Technological revolutions have occurred for markets and industries since the rise of organized communities and societies. In the past few years a technological revolution has been in process with the growth of digitalized markets. This has resulted in a shift of analog business becoming digitalized. Digitization is a structural change for industries and the Swedish economy is affected by it. This put a demand on many industries to adapt digitalized techniques, in order to stay competitive and survive this technical shift. Adapting to a technical revolution puts pressure on the business strategies and requires companies to model new ones. With the digitization, new requirements have arisen for companies to create new business models, value chains and ways of organizing activities, in order to manage the business strategies. Digitization has been seen to change innovation processes and some experts believe it will change whole markets. The accounting industry is one of the industries that has been seen to have a growth in digitalization and is expected to grow even more. The accounting industry is like many other industries are experiencing the need for a change due to digital technologies. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how digital accounting businesses could set up a general business model, in order to be a successfully digitalized business. This has been conducted through a multiple case study, with the aim to provide generalized findings of business model elements and barriers/facilitators for digitalization affecting the business model. The multiple case studies has been conducted through interviews with different accounting companies, that market themselves as digitalized actors. The findings of the research indicate that digitalization had a direct affect on how companies should strategically organize a business. Many of the implications on digitalized accounting will have direct impact on strategies, actions and processes. The digitalization will require company cultures, which are digitalization friendly. Some of the found results are: digitization will give accounting companies digital accounting tools, knowledge sharing and communication channels. It will put pressure on employees for having different knowledge than analogue businesses and more expertise skills. Digitalization it is estimated to affect the offerings provided to customers. The digitalization is also most likely to have key partners, targeted customer segment, cost structure and revenue streams specific for being digitalized. Digitalization of the accounting industry is likely to change the market from being a supplier driven to becoming demand driven and new actors with less accounting knowledge could get a opening for entering the market. And there are many barriers and a few facilitators for being a digitalized accounting business. This has been taken in consideration when mapping a general business model for a digital accounting firm in this report.
