This paper aims to identify the characteristics of the Now Economy, discuss the components of an effective business model, examine numerous e-commerce business models and provide an application of online learning. Design/methodology/approach The literature on business models is reviewed. E-commerce models are explored as a means for building competitive advantage in the Now Economy. An in-depth case study of remote learning in universities illustrates the development of a sound digital business model. Findings Business models explain where and how an organization competes and the financial feasibility of its strategy. Digital business models create market differentiation or disruption. This paper explains 20 e-commerce business models and offers an in-depth view of the opportunities and challenges in the online learning sector. Research limitations/implications Building on the literature, this work is conceptual and presents a case study. It is not an empirical study. A three-point agenda for scholars includes research on speed and service in business models, assessing the impact of customer value and examining the market power of Big Tech. Practical implications The digital component of the economy is growing annually. Business practitioners must respond by developing winning business models. The remote learning application is particularly relevant given today’s changing educational market. Originality/value While there has been considerable research on business models, there has been limited work on digital business models, which is the focus of this article.

Purpose Many start-ups are in search of cooperation partners to develop their innovative business models. In response, incumbent firms are introducing increasingly more cooperation systems to engage with start-ups. However, many of these cooperations end in failure. Although qualitative studies on cooperation models have tried to improve the effectiveness of incumbent start-up strategies, only a few have empirically examined start-up cooperation behavior. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Drawing from a series of qualitative and quantitative studies. The scale dimensions are identified on an interview based qualitative study. Following workshops and questionnaire-based studies identify factors and rank them. These ranked factors are then used to build a measurement scale that is integrated in a standardized online questionnaire addressing start-ups. The gathered data are then analyzed using PLS-SEM. Findings The research was able to build a multi-item scale for start-ups cooperation behavior. This scale can be used in future research. The paper also provides a causal analysis on the impact of cooperation behavior on start-up performance. The research finds, that the found dimensions are suitable for measuring cooperation behavior. It also shows a minor positive effect on start-up’s performance. Originality/value The research fills the gap of lacking empirical research on the cooperation between start-ups and established firms. Also, most past studies focus on organizational structures and their performance when addressing these cooperations. Although past studies identified the start-ups behavior as a relevant factor, no empirical research has been conducted on the topic yet.

The subject of the research is trends in the implementation of digital technologies in the banking sector. The relevance of the paper is due to the objective processes of global digital intervention of technologies in all spheres of human life and society. The research aims to identify, systematize and generalize key trends and regulations in the development of digital business models of banking services in Industry 4.0. For the first time, the authors identified and systematized modern trends and regulations in the development of digital business models of banking services in Industry 4.0, offered their own conceptual vision of the concept of “digital business model of banking services”. The authors apply general scientific, philosophical, analytical, statistical, problem chronological and historical-genetic methods, as well as methods of expert assessments. The article summarizes the main stages of the evolution of business models of the banking sector, reveals substantive and methodological differences between traditional remote banking services and digital banking, highlights the main business models for organizing digital banking; provides up-to-date data on the level of development of digital banking in the main geographic zones of the world; shows the dynamics and key areas of investment in the fintech industry in 2014–2019 and provides a critical analysis of their conditions; identifies problematic aspects of the development of digital business models of banking; describes the functionality of the main digital business models of Russian banks with the author’s assessment of their capabilities and examples of their use in Russian practice. The authors conclude that the main drivers of digitalization of the banking sector are stable growth of non-cash payments in the world and in Russia; stable growth of the global digital banking market; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the active demand of consumers of remote financial services; increased competition in the retail banking market; and a significant decrease in margins for traditional banking products. Identification and systematization of trends and regulations in the implementation of digital business models of banking services can form the basis for further analysis of the specifics of digitalization and personalization of digital banking in Industry 4.0 for the sustainable socio-economic development of the country in terms of possible advantages and threats to the security of financial resources and personal data of customers.

Formation of cyber-physical models in the economy is perceived as an imperative and the objective reality. However, the issues of developing scientific and methodological support for projects aimed at creating digital business models, namely, economic algorithms for their evaluation, are currently unsolved. The purpose of the study is to work out a system of indicators for assessing the impact of industry 4.0 technologies on economic growth, and further verification of the performance. The empirical base for the study is the reporting documents of the largest national carrier — Russian Railways Holding. The research methods include a descriptive diagnostics, statistic data structuring, a correlation analysis of data, a comparative analysis, and others. The results: the author proposes a system of statistic indicators for assessing the impact of industry 4.0 digital technologies on economic growth parameters, and makes an assessment of these indicators in Russian Railways Holding. Conclusion: investing in a digital business model enhances economic growth, increases marginalization via electronic channels and other means of interaction with the consumer, and provides for optimizing operating costs.

For the effective use of modern tools, the inherent visuo-motor transformation needs to be mastered. The successful adjustment to and learning of these transformations crucially depends on practice conditions, particularly on the type of visual feedback during practice. Here, a review about empirical research exploring the influence of continuous and terminal visual feedback during practice on the mastery of visuo-motor transformations is provided. Two studies investigating the impact of the type of visual feedback on either direction-dependent visuo-motor gains or the complex visuo-motor transformation of a virtual two-sided lever are presented in more detail. The findings of these studies indicate that the continuous availability of visual feedback supports performance when closed-loop control is possible, but impairs performance when visual input is no longer available. Different approaches to explain these performance differences due to the type of visual feedback during practice are considered. For example, these differences could reflect a process of re-optimization of motor planning in a novel environment or represent effects of the specificity of practice. Furthermore, differences in the allocation of attention during movements with terminal and continuous visual feedback could account for the observed differences.

Obtaining dietetic licensure in Ontario requires completion of a Dietitians of Canada (DC) accredited four-year undergraduate degree in nutrition and an accredited post-graduate internship or combined Master’s degree program. Given the scarcity of internship positions in Ontario, each year approximately two-thirds of the eligible applicants who apply do not receive a position XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, XX, in press). Anecdotally, not securing an internship position is known to be a particularly disconcerting experience that has significant consequences for individuals’ personal, financial, and professional well-being. However, no known empirical research has yet explored students’ experiences of being unsuccessful in applying for internship positions. Fifteen individuals who applied between 2005 and 2009 to an Ontario-based dietetic internship program, but were unsuccessful at least once, participated in a one-on-one semi-structured interview. Findings reveal that participants’ experiences unfold successively in four phases that are characterized by increasingly heightened emotional peril: naïveté, competition, devastation, and frustration. The authors conclude that the current model of dietetic education and training in Ontario causes lasting distress to students and hinders the future growth and vitality of the dietetic profession. Further research is required to understand the impact of the current model on dietetic educators, internship coordinators, and preceptors as coincident participants in the internship application process.
