Abstract

Value webs are socio-economic systems with a proper dynamics that closest resembles the way business cooperation happens nowadays. In theory, they are economically robust systems, structured on strong market segmentation, especially attractive for medium and small-sized enterprises. It is of a shared concern among its participants that it remains sustainable, and this depends on how manageable its constituent transactions are. Management normally involves monitoring and transformation. The problem considered here is how a value web can be monitored. There is no central point of control of transactions in a value web, though. This problem can be treated by modeling monitoring as a local behavior and propagating it system throughout, by exploring the micro-macro link in social systems. Monitoring here is understood as a communication action phenomenon, and captured on a task model named Enterprise Monitoring Ontology. Its conceptual fitness is demonstrated on a business case on Intellectual Property Rights in the digital music industry. The artifact is evaluated from a Design Science perspective.
