   abstract = {The researchers tried to address the issue of Economic Sustainability and
Business Model research in the collaborative configuration of African Living Labs.
The authors evaluated 29 scientific articles. The results suggests: a lack of research
on Living Lab sustainability; recommendations were mainly drawn from
Sekhukhune Living Lab and only partial recommendations for Sustainability were
available. The development factors of the initial Business Model were drawn from
diverse Living Lab applications and implementation; lessons learnt from reviewed
articles; and usage of Business Model concepts. The initial Business Model concept
has three categories: People, Living Lab and Things. It can be useful to interested
parties wanting to pursue Sustainable Living Labs or Collaborative projects. Finally,
due to the multi-stakeholder nature and Societies role in a Living Lab, we
recommend that Economic Sustainability might be achieved by positioning Living
Labs as a collaborative organization, Social Innovation agent and a Social Business.}
