摘要

The scientific literature related to business ecosystems is growing. However, the major part of this literature is devoted to so-called Digital Business Ecosystems (DBE) that are largely related to only the networking part of the business ecosystems, i.e., exchange of values among their participants. Other parts related to the work of a participating enterprise, as well as its suppliers and regulators, are often left outside. In this work, we take a different approach, namely, to model an ecosystem that exists around a specific enterprise. The work is based on the concepts transferred to business from biological cybernetics, such as structural coupling and autopoiesis. In this work, the Fractal Enterprise Model (FEM) is used for modeling business ecosystems. The goal is to suggest some patterns expressed in the modeling language that can help an enterprise build a model of the ecosystem of which the enterprise is in focus.
