Abstract

The main purpose of a value network model is to prospect the sustainability of business strategies. However, much attention has been paid on the economic issues of value modeling, leaving critical environmental and social issues uncovered. On the environmental scope, this study proposes an ontology for modeling value networks to match Green Computing requirements. The ontology supports semi-automatic configuration of value network models to help business analysts deciding upon alternative value paths to satisfy market segments demanding products or services bundled with green accreditations or certifications. The ontology was built according to guidelines of Design Science in combination with specific methodologies for Ontology Engineering. For the ontology evaluation process, the acceptance, utility and usability of the ontology were evaluated by means of Technical Action Research (TAR) applied in a real-world case from the Brazilian agribusiness sector. Business expert opinion pointed to the viability of the models produced, from both the economic and environmental perspectives.
