Sustainability and digitalization have become the main direction of transformation of enterprises. Building a digital twin platform network can provide enterprises with a comprehensive view of products, manufacture, supply chain, customer experience, and profitability, which is conducive to the construction of a sustainable business model. The purpose of this paper is to study how enterprises use digital twin platform networks to generate economic, social and environmental benefits in various dimensions and their coupling relationships. Based on the literature review, this paper constructs a five-dimensional framework of a sustainable business model, and analyses the coupling relationship between dimensions. Using Haier as a way to verify the five-dimensional framework, it explores the dynamic mechanism of the Haier digital twin platform network, constructs an integrated framework based on coupling perspective and compares it with other two home appliance enterprises. The study shows that, through the digital twin platform network, enterprises can remove the disadvantage of focusing on a single product life cycle, and form a comprehensive network, so as to promote overall sustainable upgrades. This paper draws generic strategies and digital transformation suggestions for enterprises to innovate the sustainable business model. The conclusion enriches the research on sustainable business models both theoretically and practically and provides a feasible reference for the transformation of enterprises in digital economy environment.

The purpose of this article is to explore how traditional retailers implement overall organization digitalization. A cross-case study based on grounded theory was conducted across four traditional retail enterprise cases, respectively from comprehensive supermarket, department store, brand exclusive chain and home appliance chain. Four digitalization tactics dimensions were obtained: physical resource orchestration, human resource orchestration, organizational structure orchestration and ecological relationship orchestration; two digital competition strategies were distinguished: conservative and offensive strategy. Thereby, based on the resource orchestration theory, a procedural strategy framework was developed, which can be used to guide the implementation of digitalization.

Resource Security

In the assessment of critical minerals, environmental impacts have been a focus of a number of methodologies. In the case of resource security for critical minerals, there are a variety of potential strategies that might be used to reduce criticality from the supply risk perspective, but the environmental consequences of these strategies need to be evaluated. Japan is a country with a heavy dependence on imported materials, and thus has examined various alternative resource supply strategies to improve resource security. This study examines these alternative strategies and evaluates the consequential environmental implications, focusing on the domestic impacts in Japan. Utilization of deep ocean mining and end-of-life home appliance recycling are examined as alternatives against the conventional, import-oriented process. From the obtained results, deep ocean mining, providing 30% of domestic copper demand with the remainder supplied from recycling, is the current optimal solution with regards to the environmental impact.

Human Upper Limb

In daily life, we often perform activities with the upper limbs. Various motions of the upper limbs are required when performing activities of daily living (ADL), such as eating, dressing, grooming, or operating a home appliance. When problems first occur with human upper limb motions, a detailed analysis should be performed to determine where the difficulty with motion exists and to identify conditions under which we can perform these activities more easily and efficiently. Next, adjustments should be made to the activity or to the interface design of appliances to reduce the difficulty posed by the problematic motion. In this chapter, the methods of motion analysis for human upper limbs are explained and the effective method of utilization is shown. A case study is also provided to demonstrate the analysis of the pointer operation for cerebral palsy patients using a laptop PC which operates by a graphical user interface operating system (GUI OS) to provide a barrier-free approach. Additionally, an applied case study of the motion analysis methods for human upper limbs is shown, and the countermeasure to develop an effective pointer operation for cerebral palsy patients is discussed.
