Platform Economy

The regulatory setting and growing worker mobilization in the digital platform economy have recently attracted much political and academic attention. However, the perspective of platforms as employers and their role in regulating the online market are less researched. This article contributes with a fresh perspective on labour platforms as potential employers and their various strategies towards collective bargaining. Empirically, the article draws on in-depth case studies of three labour platforms operating in Denmark, but choosing very different strategies towards collective bargaining. The study identifies four factors impacting their choice of strategy: platform ownership, existing sector-level agreements, growth rates and customer base.

Based on a three-year digital ethnography as an educational consultant on the Chinese digital platform X, I use guanxi, enduring interpersonal relationships, to explain how people voluntarily work to the extent of burning out. Drawing on literature about emotion and work in precarious labour, and especially the discussion on emotional capitalism, I demonstrate that it is not because of the lack of social connections that people engage in auto-exploitation and burning out, as Han Byung-chul argues, but precisely because of shared values and the emotions people develop for each other that people commit more to work. Complementing research on digital economic tribes, I argue that guanxi could serve as an analytical framework to decipher the buyer–seller relationship on platforms. In particular, I use two guanxi-related concepts ganqing (emotional attachments) and renqing (norms of interpersonal relationship) to explain why I worked voluntarily and obligatorily for the students I met via X.

Digital data are core to all fast-emerging digital technologies, such as data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, the internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, and all internet-based services. The dominance of global digital platforms, their control of data, and their capacity to create and capture the ensuing value further accentuate concentration and consolidation rather than reduce inequalities between and within countries. This paper will analyze the digital platform economy in the European Union (EU) in the backdrop of the US and Asia Pacific digital platform economy and throw some light on critical factors for developing the conducive and globally competitive digital industry in the EU. This will be studied through some of the influences such as share of GDP, tax policies, FDI, and regulatory framework in the EU countries, contributing to creating a framework for a competitive global landscape of the EU.

Выявлены организационно-экономические проблемы осуществления процессов внешнеторговой деятельности отечественными наукоемкими промышленными предприятиями, которые приводят к росту транзакционных издержек и существенно затрудняют выход на внешние рынки и участие в международной научно-производственной кооперации. Предложен и обоснован подход к институциональному управлению процессами внешнеторговой деятельности промышленных предприятий на основе создания цифровой платформы. Изложены результаты разработки организационно-экономических механизмов формирования и развития отраслевой цифровой платформы, основанные на концепциях платформенной экономики, государственно-частного партнерства и «единого окна». Organizational and economic problems of the implementation of foreign trade processes by domestic high-tech industrial enterprises are identified, which lead to an increase in transaction costs and significantly complicate access to foreign markets and participation in international scientific and industrial cooperation. An approach to the institutional management of foreign trade processes of industrial enterprises based on the creation of a digital platform is proposed and justified. The results of the development of organizational and economic mechanisms for the formation and development of a sectoral digital platform based on the concepts of platform economy, public-private partnership and single window are presented
