Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to devise a framework for mapping and designing business ecosystems and to demonstrate its effectiveness in crafting digital transformation for traditional marketplaces.
Design/methodology/approach
A digital business ecosystem framework is developed as a Value Exchange Network (VEN) to analyze both the existing marketplace business ecosystem and a prospective digital marketplace ecosystem. The transformation process is divided into four stages. The first stage begins with describing the case and mapping it onto the framework as a business ecosystem depicted in a Value Exchange Network Diagram (VEND). In the second stage, a future or new business ecosystem is designed and represented using VEND. The third stage involves developing guidelines for the digital transformation. Finally, the fourth stage focuses on creating a management tool to operate and expand the new digital business ecosystem.
Findings
Traditional marketplaces in Indonesia face significant threats from hypermarkets, supermarkets, minimarkets and the growing preference of the younger generation for digital marketplaces, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Our framework (VEN) offers a structured approach to support traditional marketplaces in undergoing digital transformation through four stages.
Research limitations/implications
This paper showcases the expressive power of our business ecosystem framework. The digital transformation of the traditional marketplace presented here serves as an example application of the framework. However, the framework has yet to be tested in a real-world digital transformation project.
Practical implications
This paper offers direction and guidelines for the digital transformation journey of traditional marketplaces using the VEN framework.
Originality/value
This paper uses an innovative framework for mapping, analyzing and constructing business ecosystems, presenting a four-stage method to outline the digital transformation of traditional marketplaces. The adoption of ecosystem thinking in the pursuit of digitally transforming conventional marketplaces is novel, offering a comprehensive approach to this transformation.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to test the empirical Islamic bank customer loyalty model with the perspective of mosques as customers.
Design/methodology/approach
The type of research used is quantitative to collect data from mosque customers; 93 questionnaires were analyzed using partial least square-structural equation modeling.
Findings
This research found a significant relationship between service quality and perceived value, service quality and brand image, perceived value and customer satisfaction, brand image and customer loyalty and customer satisfaction with brand image.
Research limitations/implications
First, this study only collects data from certain organizations or communities so that further research can develop the model by adding several other communities or organizations. Second, this research does not include several other important variables that influence customer loyalty, such as product innovation and company capabilities.
Originality/value
Islamic bank customer loyalty models have been widely explored from the perspective of individual customers only. This research offers new attributes that influence customer loyalty models in the context of organizations or communities, namely, mosques.
