Abstract

The proliferation of fake news in digital ecosystems poses a growing threat to politics, society, and corporations, yet its multidimensional impact on organisations remains underexplored. Modelling tools such as ArchiMate are widely used to represent enterprise architectures, but the specific phenomenon of corporate fake news lacks a structured reference model. To address this gap, we developed an ArchiMate-based corporate fake news reference model using a Design Science Research approach informed by a systematic literature review. The model captures six corporate fake news impact domains: public perception, customer trust, governance level, organisational resilience, equity, and stock prices.
