Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
As new Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platforms are being established in Europe, researchers and practitioners are looking for evidence of the barriers that the MaaS providers are experiencing in their evolving business ecosystem. By constructing an actor network, this thesis conceptualises the MaaS business ecosystem using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) combined with Actor Network Theory (ANT). This actor network and the identified MaaS business ecosystem barriers are then used for Multiple Case Study Research, interviewing 18 European MaaS experts. First, the within-case analysis reveals how MaaS providers problematise, interest, enrol and mobilise their business ecosystem. Then, the cross-case analysis evaluates the findings of the actor networks by outlining and amending key barriers in the areas of (1) technology and data, (2) social and cultural, and (3) policy and regulation. The key patterns of barriers are then used to discuss nine observations that emerged from the field. These findings are then synthesised to derive success factors that help overcome the barriers. All findings are summarised in the final Cases, Actor Networks, Barriers, and Success Factors (CABS) framework. This CABS framework supports researchers and practitioners in formulating policies, leveraging best practices, or conducting further research on the development of MaaS.
