Platform Economy

The area of research presented in the article are digital platforms. The platform approach, the platform economy, which primarily ensures the interaction of market participants, is gaining an increasing number of participants and is becoming more widespread in various industries: from trade to the hotel business and education.The article analyses the impact of the platform approach on the business model of the organization, namely, on the ability to create consumer value and deliver it to its customers, using the advantages of this approach. The ongoing transformation is more based on information technology, human capital, analytical decision-making tools, and business process flexibility. The paper also analyses the experience related to the implementation of the platforms in various countries and organizations.The study gives a possible business model of a platform organization and a University that has implemented platform solutions. The authors note that the mistakes made during the implementation of the platform are mostly due to the human factor: employees may not be ready for changes or are not technically educated enough. The indifference of managers also plays a role, because the risks arising from this are neutralized worse than others. To reduce the risks, the authors defined the directions of further research.

Platform Economy

Platforms are altering business processes and value creation mechanisms as previously witnessed across traditional pipe businesses. Africa has over 300 active digital platforms that serve millions of consumers across every sector of the economy – health, education, commerce, tourism and hospitality, government, information technology, and others. The rise of the platform economy has also popularised the concept of sharing, which has been with Africans for centuries. Through platforms, economic models have also evolved, allowing asset owners to monetize idle assets by offering these assets to those in need of them for a commercial fee using pay-as-you-use (PAYU) pricing models. This chapter serves as an introduction to the concept of platforms and the sharing economy while highlighting industry trends and opportunities that have been triggered by this innovative and disruptive business model.

Decisions are choices. Decision making is the essence of management. Managers make decisions every day and the practical implications of such decisions are key to the success of the company. After reading this chapter, managers, or those who are preparing to be managers, should be better able to do the following: (1) understand the extent to which such organizational characteristics as structure or technology affect decision making, (2) see why the complexity of task environments determines the decisions being made by managers, (3) define and manage certain strategic organizational capabilities such as learning or absorptive capacity, (4) think about cognitive and non-cognitive human capital characteristics that play a role in decision making, and (5) be aware of the impact of culture on decision-making processes. Understanding these aspects will help you develop a deeper understanding of the role and importance of decision making, not only in the domestic market but also internationally.

Academic Debate

The current academic debate on the sharing economy (SE) seems to embrace three main discussions: its definition, its effects, and the role of regulation. A neglected topic here seems to be analyzing the specific implications of the changing nature of these firms boosted by private equity and venture capital. As the author points out, we need to analyze not only the impact of a changing business model but, specifically, how stakeholders, cities, and regulators should approach this moving target now called SE. In the following sections the author departs from a traditional definition of the sharing economy to start building the case for treating the SE at large as an epiphenomenon of the platform economy, and as a temporary condition based on a moveable business model. The chapter closes by introducing the regulatory hurdles that come associated with the previous and mapping out its different futures.

Before the decision makers set much higher requirements in the decision-making than ever before due to the environment of decision-makers subject to change under the influence of progress and development of new technologies, networking individual or organization inside and the outside environment, and modern means of communication enabling continuous inflow, flow and sharing of data and information. In these modern conditions the process of collecting, analyzing, selecting data and information to make informed decisions in the context of possible restrictions and the available options, and ultimately making decisions as the basis for future business or behavior, is not simplified. The use of new technologies in the decision-making process provided numerous opportunities to facilitate decisions selection. However, the decision maker should still be able to differentiate which knowledge should be used to serve in decision making, and which models, methods, tools, systems, and procedures to be used in certain situations, with the purpose of successful decision selection. In this paper, we will examine the decision making process during the business process of the companies in Kosovo.

The Impact

This study deals with the problem of outsourcing management, presenting a structure to support decision-making on effective information-technology outsourcing and highlighting the advantages and disadvantages that must be addressed. Since the study involves multiple variables, partially defined and conflicting objectives, and the will of decision-makers to broaden their understanding of the impact of decisions, the study used the multicriteria decision aid constructivist method to lead data collection and analysis. The chief results presented are: (i) a structured appraisal arranged by 8 strategic objectives and 107 performance indicators; (ii) the strengths and weaknesses of the status quo; and (iii) a process diagram for generating improvements. To ensure presentation of scientific and practical recognition in accordance with the constructivist path, the epistemological view adopted meets the scientific and practical requirements to ensure validity, legitimacy, and effectiveness of a model to support a decision-making process in a practical environment.

The Impact

Purpose Decision-making and problem-solving are ongoing progressions of evaluating situations or problems, considering substitutes, making choices and following them up with the necessary actions. The relationship between managers’ decision-making and information technology (IT) has long been of interest to researchers. This study aims to examine the changes in novel technologies in facilitating managers’ decisions that influence the quality and timeliness of information and decision-making. Design/methodology/approach The present paper is a descriptive-correlative study in terms of the data collection method and is applicable in terms of purpose. In addition, the library-field method was used to collect information. Because of the target and subject of the research of the statistical population, this research contains all managers of a management organization that are 100 people. The present study is used in the structural equation modeling method to examine causal models and evaluate the reliability and validity of the measurement model. The presented model and the gathered information from the questionnaires were analyzed through SmartPLS software. Findings The results indicate that the IT infrastructure, expert systems, marketing information systems (ISs) and organizational variables significantly influence the ease of managers’ decision-making and considering these dimensions is a step in the success of managers’ decisions. Research limitations/implications This study used a questionnaire to collect information, which may result in some people refusing to provide a real answer and giving an unrealistic answer. This study is also cross-sectional, and therefore, makes it difficult to conclude about causality. In addition, access to statistics and information is one of the significant pillars of research. Practical implications The paper presents useful advice for improving decision-making. In addition, the topic is relevant to the ease of managers’ decisions. A better understanding of the impact of IT infrastructure, expert systems, marketing ISs and organizational variables could significantly enhance managers’ success. Originality/value The ideas and topics discussed are equally applicable to libraries and can provide new insights into the impact of IT infrastructures, expert systems, marketing ISs and organizational variables on the ease of decision makers as a source of competition.

Sociological View

What is the impact of the digitalization of society, primarily of the communicative sphere, on its human capital? Will the new generations, whose abilities and capabilities have been enhanced by digital technology, be more educated and more efficient than the previous ones? Or does the proliferation of new technologies have side effects in the form of restrictions on the growth of human capital, which will lead to impoverishment, diminution of the capabilities of the modern worker? Similar questions arose during the formation of each new technological order, and were first expressed by Plato in the dialogue Phaedrus, where he asks whether people will forget how to remember, having learned to write. They are also relevant in the era of digitalization. Sociologists have always been interested in the consequences of the development of technology and technology for society, its structures and institutions, for the perception of a person. A sociological view of the consequences of digitalization makes it possible to identify not only the advantages, but also new cultural, structural and institutional constraints for human capital - the spread of clip consciousness, shifting to decision-making machines, the loss of reliability of educational content and the risks of inaccurate information, the growth of the supply of unskilled labor based on digital platforms, transformation of the employee’s attitude and requirements to working conditions, etc...
