Interpretation of business interaction with BVAs in time and space dimension

Time	ARA layers of interaction with BVA	Space
Specialization BVA as an object: the adjustment is an outcome of the host and guest negotiation on the use of BVA BVA as an actor: the adjustment is the outcome of BVA negotiation with host and guest	Activity patterns BVA as an object: provider or host (the one who controls BVA) defines activity patterns BVA as an actor: activity patterns are flexible, and BVA controls them	Interdependency BVA as an object: other actors who use it as a boundary object in their interaction fully control its activities BVA as an actor: is able to self-govern, analyze the correlation of its activities and others’ reactions
Path dependency BVA as an object: is being handled and developed over time along the path BVA as an actor: is one of the handlers of resources, therefore it can be a force in combining and development of resources along the path	Resource constellations BVA as an object: resource constellations are limited to those defined by provider or host BVA as an actor: negotiates resource constellations	Heterogeneity BVA as object: is being combined with other resources to finish a task in pre-defined way BVA as an actor: is combining its own resources to finish a task
Co-evolution BVA as an object: can only be changed through the efforts of human actors BVA as an actor: changes itself autonomously in the course of following interactions	Actor Webs BVA as an object: constellations of actors are limited to what is defined by provider or host BVA as an actor: negotiates constellations of actors	Jointness BVA as an object: indicates new actors to interact with but it is the human actors who initiate interaction with said actors BVA as an actor: indicates other actors to set new interactions and initiates interaction with them autonomously
