The article examines the positive effects and negative consequences of the digital transformation of the national economy in terms of waves of technological progress and the spread of innovation. It is determined that the development of the digital economy is the most obvious result of the wave-like nature of digitalization. A three-sector model of the digital economy is proposed, where the primary sector is its core and includes fundamental innovations (semiconductors, microprocessors), basic technologies (computers, telecommunications devices), stimulating infrastructure (Internet and telecommunications networks); the secondary sector includes services based on basic digital technologies, including digital platforms, mobile applications, and electronic payment systems; tertiary – a digital economy based on a wide range of digital products and services, including e-commerce and new activities or business models that are transformed as a result of digital technologies. A system of indicators has been formed that provides a quantitative interpretation of the economic and social consequences of the process of the digital transformation of the national economy. Such an assessment will help to understand the potential impact of digital transformation on economic growth, which is often uneven, both within the country and between countries with different levels of socio-economic development. This impact was considered in several parameters, including labor productivity, gross domestic product, value-added, employment, as well as for various components of the digital economy. Emphasis is placed on the fact that the net impact on the overall economy is difficult to assess mainly due to the imperfection of existing methods of assessing the digital economy. It was found that the most threatening consequences of the digital transformation are labor displacement, as the exponential change in technology leads to the use of robots, autonomous vehicles, sensors, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, changing the workflow towards greater flexibility with the predominant use of temporary labor. The types of work organizations that are likely to be part of the working ecosystem for at least the next 10 years are described.

Abstract To help facilitate the development of a theoretically rigorous and practically useful theory of customer value propositions (CVP), as called for repeatedly by the extant literature, this paper establishes a game-theoretic theorem regarding the dynamics of market competition and potential market entry. On top of this result and by employing logical rigor and analytical reasoning, eight generally true facts are developed without suffering from the constraints of data- and anecdote- based approaches, as widely used in the literature. In particular, these established results reveal how a newly adopted CVP is associated with the three essential processes underlying a company’s operation, how it will be pivotal for the company to attain competitive advantages, how the value added by adopted CVPs can be determined, etc. At the end, recommendations for decision-making managers and entrepreneurs and potential questions for future research are provided.

Business incubators (BIs) are property-based initiatives that provide nascent entrepreneurs access to a mix of business support services and networking opportunities. These services are expected to foster the idea generation process from inception to commercialisation, with the hope they will later develop into self-sustaining, thriving ventures. Digital technologies have enabled BIs to extend their support services to include new digital services, and to expand their geographical coverage, giving rise to the virtual business incubator (VBI). This chapter provides a detailed review of the BI from its origin until the emergence of the VBI, highlighting their main characteristics, differences, and benefits. Furthermore, the author argues the view of the VBI as an extension of the BI is insufficient to fully understand its operations, value-added incubation services, and contribution to venture success. Therefore, a novel conceptual framework to define the VBI is proposed.

The digital transformation of the economy and society itself is pushing the economic organizations to processes. Multiple digital technologies like data analytics, enterprise mobility, social networks, cloud computing, robotics, block chain, and internet of things (IOT) are pushing radical changes in the ways of working (WoW). People with strong technological skills are demanding changes to organizations towards two-way business interaction in order to meet the needs and expectations. But consumers who are technology users expect new information and knowledge products and services based on technological potential. It remains to the organizations to define strategies for this transformation, seeking to adapt their organizational and information systems to this new paradigm of digital transformation.


This section deals with the last dimension of the AGG model—the growth realm—and the relevance of technology and innovation to this subject. This chapter discusses briefly the recent developments in two deeply connected strands of the economic literature: the complex phenomenon of economic growth (mostly of nations) and the phenomenon of the growth of enterprises, two important disciplines of the economic science. Its main intention is to highlight how the combined (and complementary) issues of the architecture design and operation and that of governance of the enterprise (objects of this book) are still absent in the mainstream debates of the growth of enterprises and of economic growth. The chapter ends with a brief discussion of economic models that take into account new information technology business models.

The digital economy is growing at unprecedented speed and scale. Digital technologies generate the digital transformation of everything – organizations, industries, society. Digital technologies and digital business models disrupt industries in a digital vortex to a different degree by industry. In the new business context, value creation changes from the classical net present value of discounted cash flow or economic value added. Changes are given mostly by uncertainty. Reconciling classical value with digitalization becomes a research topic – the topic of this chapter. The chapter is a case study on Siemens, a Harvard Business Review case in digitalization, and one of the most important value-based management practitioners in the world, in the view of the economic value added model and in the view of journals indexed in Web of Science. The Siemens case is used to explore how economic value added and digitalization can work together and finds that they do in different stages that follow the logic of the innovation lifecycle.

Digital technologies and their tools are fundamentally changing not only the technological order, but also the economic system. Recently, researchers and the business community attention has been focused on digital companies born in the era of the modern Internet and offering value propositions based on digital technologies and their cross-border properties. But how multifaceted and heterogeneous the nature of the technologies is, so complex and multidimensional is the process of their implementation, which transforms not only the company’s IT environment, but also the whole strategic management system. In the process of this transformation, companies face a range of challenges that can lead to devastating consequences. Understanding the sources and nature of these challenges allows to find ways to overcome them and transform them into competitive advantages. The structure of the article includes two blocks. The first block summarizes evolutionary ideas about transformation through its main constructs, parameters, and stages. The second block shows the study and systematization of the challenges that lead the waves of digital transformation in the context of their impact on the parameters of the strategic management system.
