The basic functions such as production, marketing, and finance continue to be the same from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy. Business processes, procedures, methods, strategy, management thinking, and approach related to basic functions have been changed due to global market competition. Consequent to global competition, business activities have become more complex. Due to this complexity, the type and quantum of information required by the business enterprises are increasing. It is interesting to note that information and communication technology is providing many new concepts to handle and manage the complex information to remain competitive in the global market. The concepts such as big data and cloud computing along with other collaborative technology facilitate creating conceptual business models for facing realities in the global market. This chapter mainly explains with two case illustrations of the importance of the above concepts for developing business models for textile and retail sectors.

The chapter reviews key drivers, trends, and consequences of global sourcing of business processes—the sourcing of administrative and more knowledge-intensive processes from globally dispersed locations. It is argued that global sourcing, which is also associated with ‘offshoring’ and ‘offshore outsourcing’, has co-evolved over the last three decades with the advancement of information and communication technology, a growing pool of low-cost, yet-often-qualified labour and expertise in developing countries, and increasing client-side global sourcing experience. It is shown how this dynamic has led firms to develop new global capabilities, governance and business models, changed the geographical distribution of work and expertise, and promoted the emergence of new geographical knowledge services clusters. Further, three new trends are introduced—the emergence of global delivery models, information technology-enabled service automation, and impact sourcing—and discuss future directions for research.

AbstractThe explosive development of artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data methods in the last 10 years has been felt in the financial-banking field which has subjected to profound changes aimed at determining an unprecedented increase in the efficiency and profitability of the businesses they carry out. The tendencies of applying the concepts coming from AI, together with the continuous increase of the volume, complexity and variety of the data that the banks collect, store and process have acquired the generic names of FinTech, respectively BigTech. Five main areas exist where Fintechs and Bigtechs can provide improvements in business models for the banks: introducing specialized platforms, covering neglected customer segments, improving customer selection, reduction of the operating costs of the banks, and optimization of the business processes of the banks. We will present some of these improvements, and then we will show how the business models of the banks dramatically transform under the influence of these changes.

Effects of digital economy on the forms and stimuli of foreign direct investment are examined. Since digitalization is becoming the underlying basis of a fundamentally new technological structure for economic processes, it shifts business models, strategies and decisions on international activity and foreign expansion. Digital economy disrupted conventional industries and interaction between market participants. The purpose of the article is the generalization of the theoretical foundations of digitalization as a factor in the evolution of FDI and assessment of modification of their forms at the macro and macro levels. Methodological basis of the study are general scientific tools (system analysis, deduction and induction), as well as special economic methods (statistical and correlation-regression analysis). Investment strategies of digital companies and the impact of digital economy on firms in inherently non-digital industries are disclosed. The role of digitalization for global market competition and the corresponding changes in investment strategies are revealed. Digitized firms obtain competitive advantages resulting from cost effectiveness, asset-light production and organization models and agility, which entails the surge of their market power and affects their investment activity.The study argues that the extent of digital penetration in household and business use, combined with FDI into digital sector, determine the scope of digital economy, which equals the share of the domestic value added generated by digitalized firms. Such companies have digitalization influence their investment decisions and strategies, mainly in more digitalized developed economies. Recommendations for investment policy of economic agents at the micro and macro levels, with regard of digitalization factor, are justified.

Peculiarities of the digital economy formation under the influence of new technologies development and increasing digitalization of business processes in economic systems, resulting in the intensive dissemination of Big Data are investigated in this paper. It is determined that the current stage of the global economy transformation largely depends on the effectiveness of specific tools of software and hardware analysis of various data and requires high efficiency of statistical and econometric methods of investigating the economic processes occurring in economic systems. Hence, the importance of the investigation of the system of Big Data, as those that are constantly received and processed online and create significant impact on various business processes, promoting and accelerating their integration into the digital economy is increasing. It is determined in practice, that Big Data refer to the unlimited set of large amounts of data, are characterized by high refresh rate, and also include very specific personalized and detailed information about the user, making it possible to form models of consumer behavior with high reliability and develop new effective business models, the implementation of which is likely to result in the planned activities success. Thus, Big Data can significantly increase the efficiency and profitability of traditional business, provided it is included in the new system of digital economy. It is defined that at the current stage of economic systems transformation, Big Data are essentially a specific product of the economy digitalization, the use of new computer technologies and consumer behavior in the technologically advanced market, characterized as a digital economy. It is investigated that Big Data should be considered at present as a new digital element of economic analysis, which provides ample opportunities for innovative methods of problem solutions in business processes. At the same time, the use of Big Data largely depends on the combination of various factors, the impact of which is marked by different rates of data flow. Therefore, the practice of application the methods of economic analysis using Big Data under modern conditions is very important while conducting research on economic systems at the macro and micro levels.
