Digital Ecosystem

The key characteristics and technologies of the new industrial revolution create conditions for the emergence of new business models that implement not individual, but ecosystem-based development of industrial enterprises based on common digital platforms. Digital ecosystems of industrial enterprises are considered in the study as interdependent groups of economic actors that share digital platforms to achieve mutually beneficial goals. These business models characterize a new evolutionary stage in the development of industrial enterprises and reflect the transition from a linear to a multidimensional and distributed value chain involving partners, suppliers, consumers, and other participants. The paper highlights the effects generated as a result of the appearance of ecosystems in the industrial sphere for ecosystem centers (platform owners), participants, consumers of digital industrial ecosystems, as well as the regional economy. Based on the empirical analysis of the activities of industrial enterprises in the regions of the South of Russia, the “traces” of the digital ecosystem were found in several southern industrial enterprises. The study showed that among the enterprises under analysis, only two have a business model built following the principles of the ecosystem approach, and most industrial structures in the South of Russia tried combining technology and business processes into a joint information loop. It is proved that at present moment the company’s information circuit should cover not only employees of departments, equipment, and data but also customers, suppliers, and partners, combining them into a joint network, due to which the business becomes more adaptive. Taking this fact into consideration, a set of drivers and conditions for the ecosystem digital transformation of industrial enterprises is identified. Special attention is paid to regional drivers that allow developing a favorable environment for the emergence of digital ecosystems. It is shown that the core role in the number of activators of the formation of ecosystems in the industrial sphere is played by economic motivation.

In the modern conditions of economic development, digital technologies are changing the approaches to the organization of activities and business models of industrial enterprises. Since flexible relationships between economic actors are currently increasing, digital value chains are being formed and dynamically developed, and cyberphysical systems are being formed, it is advisable to consider digital transformations of production enterprises from the point of view of the ecosystem approach. The purpose of this article is to provide a conceptual understanding of the essence of digital ecosystems of industrial enterprises and analyze their development in the regions of Southern Russia. In this paper, the ecosystem is considered as an interdependent group of actors that jointly use standardized digital platforms in the process of co-evolution for the achievement of mutually beneficial goals. At present, digital ecosystems are a new and promising form of interaction between market players in digital economy and a powerful tool for digitalization, increasing productivity, innovation and flexibility of enterprises. Conceptually, digital ecosystems combine technological, organizational and managerial components. Taking into account the mentioned above, an approach was proposed to analyze the level of development of digital ecosystems of industrial enterprises in the regions of the Southern Federal District of Russia by analyzing the indicators that characterize both digital and analogous components of digitalization of the enterprises themselves, consumers and counterparties. The analysis of the indicators allowed revealing that digital ecosystems are most developed in the following leading regions of Southern Russia: Rostov Region, Krasnodar Krai and the city of Sevastopol. At the same time, if the infrastructure and technological components are developing quite dynamically, more attention should be paid to personnel, organizational and managerial subsystems of these ecosystems.

AbstractThe emergence of the “4th Industrial Revolution,” i.e. the convergence of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, advanced materials, and bioengineering technologies, could accelerate socioeconomic insecurities and anxieties or provide beneficial alternatives to the status quo. In the post-Covid-19 era, the entities that are best positioned to capitalize on these innovations are large firms, which use digital platforms and big data to orchestrate vast ecosystems of users and extract market share across industry sectors. Nonetheless, these technologies also have the potential to democratize ownership, broaden political-economic participation, and reduce environmental harms. We articulate the potential sociotechnical pathways in this high-stakes crossroads by analyzing cellular agriculture, an exemplary 4th Industrial Revolution technology that synergizes computer science, biopharma, tissue engineering, and food science to grow cultured meat, dairy, and egg products from cultured cells and/or genetically modified yeast. Our exploration of this space involved multi-sited ethnographic research in both (a) the cellular agriculture community and (b) alternative economic organizations devoted to open source licensing, member-owned cooperatives, social financing, and platform business models. Upon discussing how these latter approaches could potentially facilitate alternative sociotechnical pathways in cellular agriculture, we reflect upon the broader implications of this work with respect to the 4th Industrial Revolution and the enduring need for public policy reform.

AbstractThe UK Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution aims to ban petrol and diesel cars by 2030 and transition to electric vehicles (EVs). Current business models for EV ownership and the transition to net-net zero emissions are not working for households in the lowest income brackets. However, low-income communities bear the brunt of environmental and health illnesses from transport air pollution caused by those living in relatively more affluent areas. Importantly, achieving equitable EV ownership amongst low-and middle-income households and driving policy goals towards environmental injustice of air pollution and net-zero emissions would require responsible and circular business models. Such consumer-focused business models address an EV subscription via low-income household tax rebates, an EV battery value-chain circularity, locally-driven new battery technological development, including EV manufacturing tax rebates and socially innovative mechanisms. This brief communication emphasises that consumer-led business models following net-zero emission vehicles shift and decisions must ensure positive-sum outcomes. And must focus not only on profits and competitiveness but also on people, planet, prosperity and partnership co-benefits.

The notion of digital ecosystems has become a fruitful metaphor for examining the effects of digitalization across boundaries of organization, industry, lifeworld, mind, and body. In business-economic terms, the metaphor has inspired IS research into new business models, while in engineering terms, it has led to important insights into the design and governance of digital platforms. Studying digital ecosystems in these terms, however, makes it difficult to trace and explain those effects of digitalization, which do not materialize predominantly in economic and engineering patterns. Important relationships and their effects may therefore go unnoticed. In response, I draw on the ecological epistemology of Gregory Bateson and others to contribute an ecological approach to digital ecosystems. Such an understanding, I argue, expands the possibilities for tracing and explaining the wide-reaching, boundary-crossing effects of digitalization and the runaway dynamics they may lead to. I suggest to do this based on three principles: (1) part-of-ness—phenomena are to be observed as always part of a larger ecosystem; (2) systemic wisdom—ecosystems have limits, which need to be respected; and (3) information ecology—ecosystems are not mechanical but informed, cognitive systems. As my contribution, I propose six avenues for future IS research into digital ecology.

Abstract Decision-making supported by digital ecosystems has been increasingly studied during recent years, especially due to improved technical capabilities to collect, store, and analyze large amounts of data. The literature recognizes that these systems can reduce response time of managers and enhance a cost-efficient recovery of supply chains. However, there is a lack of methodological frameworks to evaluate the benefits of these platforms. In addition, there is still little understanding of the risks in ocean container transport and their implications for supply chains. This paper proposes and applies a mathematical model for evaluating the impacts of digital platforms, with a focus on solutions to mitigate risks in sea transport operations. The model is based on scenarios and decision tree models to evaluate the impacts of a supply chain digital ecosystem on full containers shipped from Asia to Europe implemented by four companies. Results show monetary savings per scenario in the range from €3448 to €79,242. The most significant savings are expected on unplanned transshipments, cargo damage, export inspections, container detention, and container release.

The presented study examines the fundamental prerequisites for the emergence of digital platforms, which would provide a global view of the role that platforms play in creating a new organizational model — an ecosystem of high-tech industries.Aim. In the context of industrial digitalization, the study aims to substantiate the creation of a modern mechanism for coordinating high-tech market participants within a single economic and organizational space — an ecosystem based on a cross-industry digital platform.Tasks. The authors analyze the international experience of implementing digital platforms, identify problems and provide recommendations for solving them in the context of digital platform implementation in the Russian industry.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition in various aspects to analyze the current vector of industrial development driven by the introduction of ecosystems as a new organizational and economic model; describe the principles of their formation, possible structure, and main differences from traditional cluster and network models; substantiate that an ecosystem model allows its participants to achieve a positive synergistic effect in the implementation of their strategic development goals in the context of digital transformation.Results. The issues of using the tools of an industrial digital platform to facilitate the interaction between participants within an ecosystem are considered. Platform solutions in the industry show great promise in terms of analyzing large amounts of data, reducing transaction costs, and obtaining “perfect information”. The direction for the implementation of cross-industry digital platforms and creation of ecosystems in the near future is characterized.Conclusions. Digital cross-industry interaction within the framework of a common platform will expand external communications and promotion channels, making it possible to introduce digital business models and diversify production, but also requiring compatibility between the systems of industrial enterprises and a functioning digital platform and cloud environment.

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 based on digital technologies has led to an unprecedented change in the socio-economic model. Therefore, countries in general and Vietnam are all aiming to develop the digital economy. The concept of digital transformation of the economy or development of the digital economy in Vietnam focuses on the following basic contents: 1) Developing digital businesses; 2) Digital transformation for traditional businesses (towards digitally integrated products; transforming business models on digital platforms; changing production processes based on digital data, automation, virtualization, etc.); 3) Development of digital finance; 4) E-commerce development. Therefore, digital transformation becomes an inevitable and objective trend, supporting banks to overcome challenges, create competitive advantages, and actively adapt to the context of digital transformation. In the context of the development of the digital economy in Vietnam is taking place strongly across industries and fields, requiring banks in Vietnam to have a transformation to a new business model. In this business model, it is necessary to integrate technology in operations and digitize business processes in the direction of automation and intelligence. Thereby, banks can perform activities of providing products and services on digital platforms, effectively exploiting data, thereby increasing experiences in business resolution and customer engagement. Besides, Internet of things has connect everything through internet, therefore risk management information system of Vietnam banks is also affected by IoTs and reliable internet data can help to enhance better RMIS in commercial banks. Generally, we want to emphasize effects of IoTs and digital transformation in banks operation and new business models.

Since the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) digital technology has been playing an important role in economic growth leading to a continuous decline in the level of extreme poverty across the globe. while there are opportunities of using the digital revolution to promote inclusive growth, there are risks that technology could further escalate the worsening income distribution, and mitigating such risks will require establishing a sound digital infrastructure and providing digital education to all members of the society. The research adopts a descriptive approach to deal with the prospect of digital technology in promoting inclusive growth and to scrutinize the features of the digital economy, while it deploys a critical approach to discuss the notion of inclusive growth and the ways in which the digital economy may contribute to it. Through the inductive and deductive approaches, the research analyses briefly the Islamic perspectives on the digital economy, prior to concluding with the results such as the benefits of economic growth during the past century were mostly in favor of the higher income groups due to the way in which they were distributed among the factors of production and digital economy can potentially contribute to inclusive growth by breaking down some of the constraints in the traditional production process and by offering digital platforms for sharing economies and earning an income. The research proposes to carry out further inclusive innovations in the digital economy for proposing business models that may serve economically and socially excluded.
