Industrial Context

Die Methoden und Werkzeuge des „Digitalen Zwillings“ (DZ) und „Digitalen Schattens“ (DS) erlauben die Realisierung dienstleistungs- und datenbasierter Geschäftsmodelle im industriellen Kontext. Zwar sehen sich Unternehmen zunehmend in die Lage versetzt, DZ und DS technisch umzusetzen, jedoch bestehen nach wie vor Herausforderungen, marktfähige Smart Services abzuleiten. Dieser Beitrag zeigt eine Methode zur Konzeptionierung von Geschäftsmodellen für DZ und DS am Beispiel der Textilbranche auf.   The methods and tools of digital twins (DT) and digital shadows (DS) allow for implementing data- and service-based business models in an industrial context. Although companies increasingly see themselves in a position to implement DT and DS technologies, there are still challenges in deriving marketable smart services. This article presents a method for conceptualizing business models based on DT and DS, as examplified by the textile industry.

Information And Communication

Organizational changes are required for the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) at firms operating in the textile industry. Technologies for a new way of doing things will not provide good results if applied to an old established process. ICT allows putting into action processes in a different way, which may result in many cases, in more efficient and convenient process from the perspective of customer value generation. Textile firms highly invest in digital transformation to get new business models that constitute a challenge for traditional ways to operate. For that, they must face organisational changes. Change management implies leaving a group of structures, procedures, and behaviours and the adoption of new ones. Organizations must be able to identify potential efficient processes as a consequence of the application of new technologies. An appropriate management of more tangible aspects—equipment, financial resources—and intangible ones—people, users, and perceptions—will have impact on change management results.

Purpose This paper aims to investigate how sustainable solutions in the textiles and clothing industry are decided through business-to-business collaboration. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative and inductive study of the Brazilian textiles and clothing industry is carried out, an industry in which sustainable denim products are increasingly being recognized as subject to competition. The paper adopts a focal net perspective to understand the collaborative arrangements through which firms combine the products they offer as a sustainable solution. Documentary data were collected and in-depth interviews conducted with the top managers of one of the world’s largest denim-manufacturing companies present in the Brazilian market, which is involved in providing sustainable solutions in cooperation with its partners. Findings The authors describe the factors that reflect the conditions for generating a sustainable business performance, including a corporate policy that assumes and articulates the responsibility for social interest, core-business stakeholders and regulatory requirements; a sustainable product-service system (S.PSS) based on innovative interactions between the stakeholders in the value production system; relations between stakeholders that promote business sustainability through a dependable value chain characterized by a sense of collaboration and collective actions; and a business model for sustainability that combines economic with social and ecological value creation. These factors help a business establish a more strategic position in the value network, enabling it to capture more value. Practical implications Sustainable solutions are developed dynamically and collaboratively within an S.PPS. Managers need to focus not only on tangible products but also on intangible services designed and combined so that they are jointly capable of fulfilling customer’s needs and creating social and ecological value. Managers within the solution provider must develop business models for sustainability that are continually evolving to satisfy the interest in resource-efficiency by actors in civil society, business and government. Originality/value The research contributes to the existing literature by applying approaches involving corporate social responsibility (CSR) and strategic nets to the study of the implementation of an S.PSS. Sustainable initiatives and offers developed by an S.PSS are not isolated phenomena but result from collaboration in finding solutions among different actors linked in a strategic net. In this sense, companies need to adjust their business models for sustainability to generate positive economic, social and ecological value and gain credibility for their missions.

Sustainability Challenges

The global social, economic, and ecological sustainability challenges are immense, particularly in Africa. Given the continent's specific characteristics, there is a strong need to either shape “traditional” business models or to consider alternative corporate strategies. Those should in particular foster social change and progress through economic development. Social entrepreneurship is regarded as such an alternative approach. In addition, stronger aligning firms' business models to CSR dimensions as laid out in international standards such as ISO 26000 might be a valuable trajectory. By using an exploratory comparative case design and qualitatively analyzing the websites of four African textile companies, this chapter illustrates how social sustainability is being pursued. The findings suggest that sustainability-oriented textile companies strongly emphasize social sustainability, in particular labor practices, community involvement, and development. This enables further research on drivers and implications for sustainability marketing strategies in global textile value chains.

Industry Needs

The global textile industry offers huge potentials regarding the transformation towards sustainability. These improvements require a facilitation of business model innovations embedding shifting consumer demands. How can the textile industry drive responsible and sustainable business practices in terms of social sustainability? Tackling this question, a qualitative content-based analysis of current literature conducted highlights main themes and concepts on business model innovations, textile industry, and social sustainability. In addition, an exploratory multiple case study design was used. Results show social sustainability patterns are seldom and often linked to external pressures. This chapter proposes a reorientation towards stronger holistic and inclusive approaches for sustainability and reflects on socio-cultural aspects linked to sustainable textile business models. Progressing sustainability in the textile industry needs both a single consideration of environmental and social issues as well as an integrative and systemic perspective in academia as well as in practice.

This chapter analyses the blockchain implemented by Genuino in the collectibles industry. Since collectibles are subject to high risk of counterfeiting and fake replications, blockchain technology can help substantially to ensure transparency, originality, ownership, and data security and protection. Two methods to use blockchain in the industry seem to be the most widespread today: creating digital native collectibles on blockchain and transposing physical objects into the blockchain by creating digital twins. By using blockchain, new consumer clusters emerge, highlighting the need to modernize both the traditional economies and the current business models.

Globally, in the innovative and distributional circular textiles, the textile sector of Taiwan has a prominent place. Within the textile industry, the circular economy (CE) obstacles adopted have been studied by several scholars. However, the interrelationships among these obstacles are easily ignored. The present study aimed to identify CE adoption obstacles from the supply chain (SC) perspective in Taiwan’s textile sector by analyzing the interrelationships among the CE adoption obstacles and establishing a hierarchical network and the causal inter relationships of the identified obstacles. Furthermore, the CE adoption obstacles and interrelationships were analyzed using interpretative structural modeling and the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (ISM-DEMATEL). The common results of the two methods demonstrated that two obstacles, consumers not having sufficient knowledge and awareness of reuse/recycling (B1) and a lack of successful business models and frameworks for CE implementation (B3), were the significant obstacles influencing adopting CE in the textile supply chain, while the obstacle making the most efficient way (B12) of the right decision to implement CE was minor. Thus, the government should formulate friendly laws and regulations that encourage CE adoption, while textile firms should monitor and control recycling and efficiency approaches handling the CE adoption problems. Our results could offer first-hand knowledge to textile firms or managers to effetely achieve CE implementation objectives.

Abstract. Over the last few years, the world has seen many social, industrial, and technological revolutions. The latter has enabled a combination of expertise from different fields in order to manage a wide range of multidimensional issues such as integrated societies and industrial ecosystems achievement, urban planning, transport management, sustainable development and environmental protection and currently pandemics management. Super smart society's vision that is driving the 5.0 social revolutions is at the heart of the current situation that requires system resilience, sustainability, proactivity, interoperability and collaborative intelligence between society, economy, and industry. Establishing communication bridges between different entities, of different natures and with different objectives implies solutions that reinforce the development of efficient, dynamic, and communicating business models on a large scale, merging cyber and physical spaces. Through this paper we explored the potential of digital twins for the development of a new vision of world global dynamics under the aegis of a virus whose parameters are still elusive to date.
