AbstractThe world is changing, and with it comes the requirement that enterprises change to survive in today's volatile markets. However, the change does not just include launching a new product on the market but also changing the business model of the whole organisation. To sustain in today's fast-changing markets, companies have to detect new market opportunities on time, assess them and find a way to incorporate the most beneficial opportunities into their business. Without this awareness that a company must change with the changing market, it risks losing its significance in the market. Both the change of the business model and the change of the organisation are needed to succeed in the market. An outstanding example of such a company is Netflix. They have successfully changed their business model twice: first, from an online-DVD-rental service to a streaming provider and then, to a content provider. They were aware of upcoming new technologies on-time, evaluated them and planned the implementation in the market while the old technology was still profitable. The present work outlines the major changes in Netflix's business model and how they managed the change process successfully.

Accumulating all the concepts, we can say that the digital economy is the rather complex term, but we can assume that its development is based on the key components According to forecast estimates, the most advanced retail companies will begin implementing the service of virtual and voice search of goods by 2022. This will require from the company the better understanding of the consumers wishes, their interests and intentions. Consider the main technological development trends for 2020-2025 based on the data of the major consulting agencies and the consulting company "Cartner" Figure 2 shows the forecast curve of the new technologies development.

The peak of disappointments will be Social Distancing Technologies and Secure Access Service. The source of expectations will be the development of Carbon-Based transistors technology and Human digital Ontologies. The formation of a productivity platform will be based on trends in Self-Development and Self-Education. Digital IT trends grow, evolve and acquire new properties of social technologies that can influence the structure of the community, form dependencies and demand. Therefore, companies, large corporations and government need to move to more flexible composite business architectures.

eBay provides online marketplaces for the sale of goods and services, online payments, and online communication offerings. Their three primary business segments are: eBay Marketplaces, Payments, and Communications. The Marketplace platform has grown beyond the initial auction platform to include Rent.com, Shopping.com, Kijiji, Craigslist, mobile.de, and Marketplaats.nl. PayPal enables individuals and businesses to easily and securely transact payments. The overgrowth of eBay may have brought about the management problems in a young company that grows so fast. As the eighth largest global retailer, eBay’s mission is to pioneer new communities around the world built on commerce, sustained by trust, and inspired by opportunity. Their ability to maintain or enhance this position will depend on their ability to adapt to new technologies while facing increased competition and anticipating customers’ needs. This chapter will address management’s philosophies, the corporate business model, its challenges, and network relationships, and examine corporate growth to date as well as future horizons.

Some of the most valuable companies in the world accumulated their fortunes as a result of a business model innovation built upon matured technologies. Now the majority of them are investing and shifting their focus to the development of new technologies such as AI, blockchain and genetic editing. If an organization is to remain profitable, it needs to be able to quickly adjust its structure to the rapidly changing context. We contend that a way to do so is to build an organizational structure that is conductive to both generative and evaluative prototypes. We report on our action research with a leading European airline following the transformation of a team of four into a new department, through the lenses of continuous prototyping. We then propose an initial framework that conceptualises organizational prototypes and provides a rational and systematic way of approaching the devising of such. Finally, we outline several directions for further research.

Seleksi tersebut meliputi bentuk usaha, produksi perusahaan, maupun pengelolaan keuangan. Apabila bentuk usaha dari suatu perusahaan dinilai bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip syari’ah, maka saham dari perusahaan tersebut pun tidak termasuk saham syari’ah.

To substantiate the range of products of the enterprise there is a need to assess the potential of products in terms of the company’s ability to manufacture these products, consumer opportunities to meet their needs for these products, and market opportunities to ensure a strategic position among similar products. The study used structural-logical and causal methods of analysis to determine the structure of the novelty of goods. The numerical method of multi-criteria decision making TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) was used to rank the product range of new products according to the level of importance of novelty. Weights of individual components to assess the importance level of novelty in the enterprise were determined by the method of analysis of hierarchies of T.L. Saati. The study used the classification of novelty by its functional focus, according to which consumer, market, and manufacturing novelty of goods are distinguished. The importance of novelty for the manufacturer is the conformity of the product to its innovative development strategy, determination of its place in the market, and prospects for further activities. The importance of the novelty of a new product for the company is proposed to be defined as a measure of the importance of the novelty level of the product for the development of the optimal product range in the product innovative policy of the enterprise. To assess the level of significance of the novelty of goods, criteria of novelty by its types were proposed. According to the results of the study it was found that industrial novelty characterizes the level of use of new technologies in the enterprise, market – the position of a new product on the market among analogues, and consumer – the level and way to meet consumer needs. Further research should relate to the development of appropriate guidelines for the formation of product range and its management based on the assessment of the level of significance of novelty

Historically, the development of the circular economy (CE) proceeds from the CE 1.0 stage, characterized by attention to waste management and recycling, to the CE 2.0 stage with an emphasis on resource efficiency and eco-efficiency, to the current CE 3.0 stage, in which the key factor to a company’s success is the business model. However, not all countries of the world simultaneously began transforming the national economy from a linear model to a circular one; many are still at the CE 1.0 and CE 2.0 stages, and do not have a developed system of institutions supporting the circular economy. In Russia, the concept of a circular economy has not yet received recognition in society and government; the stage of its development can be defined as CE 2.0. This study compares the barriers and drivers of CE development in the EU countries, a group of countries with a well-developed institutional support system, and in Russia, a country that does not have such a system. The study reveals that the most significant difference between countries with mature systems of institutional support and Russia lies in the regulatory sphere and in information and awareness about new available technologies and ways to increase resource efficiency, commercial attractiveness, and organizational feasibility. Changes in the first sphere are impossible without the participation of the national authorities; however, changes in the information sphere are feasible even without the government’s support. The actors in such changes can be international companies with access to resource-efficient new technologies and processes for organizing business.

Abstract: The article presents a survey on the development of Smart Grids in the world. Its purpose is to present an overview of the possibilities and initial challenges to be overcome for its implementation in Mozambique. For the development of this article, a bibliographical survey of the world panorama of technology was made. As a result of this literary survey, it was understood that the concept of smart grids became more clear from 2005 and is developing. Some countries, mainly developed, have already joined the technology and they are with the pilot projects and realized. The motivations for its implementation vary from country to country. Increasing profits in the electricity sector, reducing energy technical losses, improving the environment and enhancing renewable energy are the main motivations. This technology brings benefits associated with technological innovation, new product development and new market opportunities. At the moment, it’s understood that, Mozambique is not in time to implement this technology effectively. Not only because many countries are still with pilot projects, but also, the financial costs for their implementationarehigh. However, although there are presumed difficulties for its implementation, it’s considered convenient to start with the discussions about smart grids in higher education and research institutions, fund mobilization and implementation of testing laboratories. Additionally, it is important to study the possibility of phased implementation of this technology in new condominiums or residential neighborhoods and to gain experience in countries that have already started to implement it.

The world in which today’s businesses operate has become not only riskier but also more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA). Organizations that hew too closely to traditional ways of operating will be hampered in their ability to succeed. In contrast, those that focus on new product and process developments coupled with business model innovation will leverage their dynamic capabilities. An essential overlay is entrepreneurial leadership from top management teams. Strong dynamic capabilities are impossible without it. This article examines how business model innovations, dynamic capabilities, and strategic leadership intertwine to help organizations thrive in VUCA worlds.

While attending a networking event hosted by The Capital Network in the Summer of 2017, a rather innocuous conversation with an investor put invisaWear co-founders Rajia Abdelaziz and Ray Hamilton on an uncharted course. Despite a lot of interest in their new product, investors were hesitant to write them a check. However, during their discussion with an investor, they learned that if a company could prove, through crowdfunding, that people were willing to back their campaign, then that would help validate that there was a real market opportunity for their product. Having learned that investors viewed crowdfunding as an important milestone for demonstrating the validity of a company’s business model when making investment decisions, otherwise known as traction, Rajia and Ray went to work crafting a crowdfunding campaign. Looking to leverage the extensive media attention that invisaWear had garnered in recent months to direct attention to their crowdfunding campaign and build traction, to their dismay, Rajia and Ray found that mainstream media outlets had no interest in covering their crowdfunding campaign. Having hit this roadblock, Rajia and Ray now considered their options. How could their crowdfunding campaign build traction if they couldn’t get the word out to customers?
