“…A number of works have tried to model (business) benefits resulting from collaboration. One example is an estimation model for business benefits in horizontal collaborative networks for product development [17], which considers four phases: 1) Estimation of the opportunities that should be generated by the network; 2) Construction of the product realization graph giving a weight to each opportunity, 3) Identification of the best consortium to develop the product, and 4) Summation of the earnings. Another work [18] suggests a set of collaboration benefits through the identification of cooperation variables and respective target goals.…”

Abstract. During last decades there has been a trend to build collaboration platforms as enablers for groups of enterprises to jointly provide integrated services and products. As a result, the notion of business ecosystem is getting wider acceptance. However, a critical issue that is still open, despite some efforts in this area, is the identification of adequate performance indicators to measure and motivate sustainable collaboration. This work-in-progress addresses this concern, briefly presenting the state of the art of relevant contributing areas such as, collaborative networks, business ecosystems, enterprise performance indicators, social networks analysis, and supply chains. Complementarily, through an assessment of current gaps, the research challenges are identified and an approach for further development is proposed.

“…However, for the present research we are interested on collaboration benefits and metrics, for which only limited contributions can be found in literature. As an example, in [8] an estimation model for business benefits in horizontal collaborative networks is proposed for product development. Another example suggests a set of collaboration benefits identifying cooperation variables and the corresponding target goals [9].…”

Business Ecosystems supported by the increasing use and expansion of communication networks represent nowadays a powerful form of collaboration, enabling organizations better responding to more challenging business opportunities. In this context, performance indicators are needed for measuring collaboration benefits of a business ecosystem as a whole and of its individual members, the organizations. But such indicators may also induce a self-adjustment of the organizations' behavior, as there is a natural tendency of individuals and organizations to adapt to the way they are evaluated. As such, an adequate selection of performance indicators can help the sustainability of the ecosystem. The level of reaction to indicators is nevertheless not the same for all members of the ecosystem, i.e. there are different classes of responsiveness. Using system dynamics and multi-agent systems, the focus of this paper is the study of the evolution of the agents of a collaborative business ecosystem, depending on the performance indicators used to assess their performance and considering their class of responsiveness.

“…The knowledge transfer costs depend on the stage of activities, and we assume that these costs do not depend on the partner involved. All of these parameters are represented by some matrices in the aim of computation resolution (Piot et al 2007). The additional costs AC of an alternative alt y is estimated as:…”

Despite many advantages that could be gained through belonging to enterprise networks, only a few networks continue running businesses after the governments stop their funding. One of the reasons is the lack of a model that evaluates the benefits from the firm's point of view. The objective of this work is to develop a model that estimates the benefits in horizontal collaborative networks, for a considered business opportunity, and determines the optimal network configuration in terms of the selected enterprises. We propose a method for evaluating the profits for a collaborative network based on a combination of product realisation graph and core competences identification. Through the case study of a Swiss horizontal collaborative network, the proposed approach proves its efficiency in selecting the optimal network of partners and evaluating their corresponding turnover and profits.
