Major challenges in contemporary information systems development demand new development approaches, such as innovation ecosystems, consisting of a focal innovation platform surrounded by independent developers. The attraction of third-party developers and the amplification of generativity in extension development call for sophisticated boundary resources. As demarcation points between an innovation platform and external developers, boundary resources entail a strategic value and need to be managed carefully. However, existing research does not provide an approach for the holistic management of boundary resources from design to retirement. We apply a design science research approach consisting of two design cycles involving a literature review identifying 26 application lifecycles and the analysis of eight innovation platforms in e-commerce. We evaluated the model for boundary resource management in interviews with nine domain experts. We develop an integrated boundary resource management lifecycle as a specialization of application lifecycle management for the holistic management of boundary resources in innovation ecosystems addressing third-party developers. The boundary resource management lifecycle consists of four layers: boundary resource governance, continuous communication, technical boundary resources, and supplementary boundary resources. It decouples technical and supplementary boundary resources while emphasizing their intertwined nature for ecosystem participants. Owners of innovation platforms can instantiate the reference procedure model for attracting developers.

当代信息系统发展的主要挑战需要新的发展方法，例如创新生态系统，由独立开发人员包围的焦点创新平台组成。第三方开发者的吸引力和扩展开发中生成性的放大需要复杂的边界资源。作为创新平台与外部开发者的分界点，边界资源具有战略价值，需要谨慎管理。然而，现有研究并未提供从设计到退役的边界资源整体管理方法。我们应用了一种设计科学研究方法，该方法由两个设计周期组成，涉及确定 26 个应用程序生命周期的文献综述和对八个电子商务创新平台的分析。我们在采访九位领域专家时评估了边界资源管理模型。我们开发了一个集成的边界资源管理生命周期，作为应用程序生命周期管理的一个专业化，用于在面向第三方开发人员的创新生态系统中对边界资源进行整体管理。边界资源管理生命周期包括四个层次：边界资源治理、持续沟通、技术边界资源和补充边界资源。它将技术和补充边界资源分离，同时强调它们对于生态系统参与者的相互交织性质。创新平台所有者可以实例化参考程序模型以吸引开发者。我们开发了一个集成的边界资源管理生命周期，作为应用程序生命周期管理的一个专业化，用于在面向第三方开发人员的创新生态系统中对边界资源进行整体管理。边界资源管理生命周期包括四个层次：边界资源治理、持续沟通、技术边界资源和补充边界资源。它将技术和补充边界资源分离，同时强调它们对于生态系统参与者的相互交织性质。创新平台所有者可以实例化参考程序模型以吸引开发者。我们开发了一个集成的边界资源管理生命周期，作为应用程序生命周期管理的一个专业化，用于在面向第三方开发人员的创新生态系统中对边界资源进行整体管理。边界资源管理生命周期包括四个层次：边界资源治理、持续沟通、技术边界资源和补充边界资源。它将技术和补充边界资源分离，同时强调它们对于生态系统参与者的相互交织性质。创新平台所有者可以实例化参考程序模型以吸引开发者。
