Suppliers 4.0 digital capabilities development in support of digital supply chains: a scoping review

ABSTRACT Digital transformation of Supply Chains (SCs) is imperative to remain competitive. Suppliers must adapt and digitally integrate into the emerging Digital Supply Chains (DSCs). This review examines how to develop the next-generation Supplier Development Programs (SDPs) in the context of DSCs in terms of the requirements to digitally transform a SC, and the emerging Digital Capabilities (DCs) needed by their members. A PRISMA scoping review was conducted to analyse existing research on DSC transformation frameworks and relevant DCs for the next-generation suppliers to digitally transform into “Suppliers 4.0” and support their emerging DSCs. Findings point out that there is no conclusive evidence in the scientific literature of a well-established Digital Transformation Framework (DTF) supporting the development of DCs in the current supplier base. An outlook is presented on the fundamental enablers for developing DSC capabilities and their alignment with the DCs required by suppliers.

How and when does digitalization influence export performance? A meta-analysis of its consequences and contingencies

Research on the Sustainable Evolution Mechanism of Dual-Dimensional Convergence Innovation in Digital Products

The complex characteristics of cross-disciplinarity, dynamic expansion, ambiguity, diversity, and the rapid changes in demand significantly amplify the uncertainties in digital product innovation. The existing innovation theories, such as “stage-gate”, open innovation, agile development, and data-driven decision making, are insufficient for fully and effectively addressing these uncertainties. Based on a case study of a fintech app, we reveal that digital product innovation is similar to biological evolution, exhibiting dual life-like features of “inheritance” and “mutation” within “dual-dimensional convergence”. However, unlike natural evolution, the evolutionary process of digital product innovation can augment its use of the digital ecosystem and capabilities, establish a data-driven rapid proactive selection mechanism for the main three stages, and quickly enhance product competitiveness. The complexity of knowledge in the innovation process can be partially solved through the use of a micro-knowledge integration learning mechanism formed by the interactions of social and cognitive translation. This study also discovers that market competition and policy regulation are two unique innovation-driven characteristics in digital product innovation. This mechanism can achieve the earlier clarification of product evolution’s direction, reduce the three major uncertainties of innovation, and improve efficiency in the utilization of innovation resources to achieve sustainable development.

Digital technology-enabled capability development pathways

Production firms are increasingly rushing to develop digital-technology-enabled capabilities. However, little is known whether companies show consistent capability development pathways, how these pathways vary among firms, and how they affect firms’ revenue enhancement through digitalization. Using a survey data study of 506 production companies, we aim to reveal how companies develop Horizontal integration, Real-time data accumulation, Process automation, and Process virtualization digital technology-enabled capabilities, invoking a combination of PLS-SEM and process mining algorithms, which allows clustering capability development pathways and identifying their duration. The study revealed that 49.04 % of the firms that have introduced all four capabilities have followed the Integration->Real-time->Automation->Virtualization capability development pathway. The subsequent quantitative analysis shows that companies that follow this path develop their capabilities on average faster than companies that follow other capability development pathways. We also found that the number of introduced capabilities positively affected revenue enhancement through digitalization. Our results contribute to the capability dynamics and digital transformation literature, revealing that while some degree of equifinality manifests, companies tend to follow particular capability development pathways determined by the sequential complementarity of capabilities.

Disciplinary digital capabilities of professionals

This paper is concerned with the digital practices of professionals, and the ways in which educators can support higher education (HE) students with successfully transitioning into professional life by developing relevant digital capabilities according to their disciplines. Digital capabilities have received significant attention in recent years, with various attempts made to develop digital frameworks to support curriculum design in HE. However, few studies have articulated these generic capabilities in terms of specific disciplines. This paper addresses the gap of disciplinary conceptualisations of digital capabilities by exploring how they are planned in HE curricula in two professional disciplines, engineering and management. Originality of the study is achieved in part through a conceptual framework that weaves together Shulman’s notion of signature pedagogies with JISC’s Digital Capability Framework (DigiCap). The study employed a multiple-case study methodology with each discipline as a case, and four undergraduate/postgraduate modules as the units of analysis, drawing on documentary sources, and academic, professional and student perspectives via interviews and focus groups. The research design section presents a practical manifestation of this conceptual framework in the form interview questions, which is one main outcome of this study. The study offers insight into the digital capabilities in engineering and management education, as well as the digital practices of engineers and managers. Findings report on which digital capability elements are prioritised, and how, in the two professions, followed by a discussion of their most distinct, 'signature digital capabilities'. These indicate that the development of digital capabilities is aligned with the respective discipline’s signature pedagogies. In engineering, digital problem-solving and collaboration/communication, followed by data and information literacy, appear to be most prominent. In management, data and information literacy overlap with problem-solving, and, together with digital content communication, form its prominent digital capabilities. The study also identifies management’s overarching signature digital capability. The paper argues that simply just using a descriptive, typological framework (e.g. DigiCap) is not sufficient to identify signature digital capabilities of a subject without tending to their disciplinary aspects. It is the combination of a typological digital capability framework through the lens of signature pedagogies, which can be effective in identifying disciplinary digital capabilities.

Exploring digital transformation strategy to achieve SMEs resilience and antifragility: a systematic literature review

Nowadays, the business environment has become more dynamic, making survival issues more challenging for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Academic literature proposes digital transformation as a facilitator for SMEs to generate resilience and antifragility to overcome this challenge. However, SMEs need appropriate strategies to be successful in their digital transformation journey. This study aims to construct a digital transformation strategy framework for SMEs to generate resilience and antifragility. We use systematic literature review (SLR) to capture critical knowledge from the published literature. The primary articles were analyzed using thematic analysis with Wolcott’s (1994) procedure to construct the framework based on the primary studies. We found the critical values SMEs need to achieve successful digital transformation, including dynamic capabilities, digital capability, digital inclusion, leadership orientation, learning and knowledge management, and collaboration. However, SMEs need a deeper level of learning, higher digital capability, flexibility, and agility to be antifragile. Furthermore, we found that dynamic capabilities are the leading theory used to describe and investigate how a firm generates successful transformation. Finally, this study proposes a conceptual framework for digital transformation strategies to generate SME resilience and antifragile by connecting theory and practical concepts. It also suggests future research agendas.

This research focuses on the European Union, analyzing the material flow and sustainability of biorefining systems and evaluating their impact on society, the economy, and the natural environment. The final products of the integrated material recovery processes, including recycling (18.3 %), heavy metals (3.6 %), fiber (1.4 %), hydrogen sulfate (7.4 %), recoverable water (14.8 %), fertilizer (8.4 %), and electric power (0.126 MWH/t MSW), are derived from the combined operations of material recovery facilities, pulverization, chemical conversion, wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), and combined heat and power (CHP) systems. The CHP system recovers energy from sources such as refuse-derived fuel (RDF), other disposable waste, charcoal, and natural gas produced by material recovery facilities, chemical conversion, and anaerobic digestion (AD) systems. Levulinic acid (LA), priced at 52 Euro/t, generates a profit of 220 Euro/t, excluding any subsidies. Potential reductions in carbon dioxide emissions are estimated at 2.5 and 1.4 kg CO2 equivalents per kilogram of levulinic acid (LA) and fertilizer, respectively, and 0.18 kg CO2 equivalents per megajoule of electrical power. This study underscores the importance of sustainable management practices in the context of digital capabilities, emphasizing the data flow dynamics essential for optimizing family life and finance in achieving sustainability.

AdaptUI: A Framework for the development of Adaptive User Interfaces in Smart Product-Service Systems

AbstractSmart Product–Service Systems (S-PSS) represent an innovative business model that integrates intelligent products with advanced digital capabilities and corresponding e-services. The user experience (UX) within an S-PSS is heavily influenced by the customization of services and customer empowerment. However, conventional UX analysis primarily focuses on the design stage and may not adequately respond to the evolving user needs during the usage stage and how to exploit the data surrounding the use of S-PSS. To overcome these limitations, this article introduces a practical framework for developing Adaptive User Interfaces within S-PSS. This framework integrates ontologies and Context-aware recommendation systems, with user interactions serving as the primary data source, facilitating the development of adaptive user interfaces. One of the main contributions of this work lies on the integration of various components to achieve the creation of Adaptive User Interfaces for digital services. A case study of a smart device app is presented, to demonstrate the practical implementation of the framework, with a hands-on development approach, considering technological aspects and utilizing appropriate tools. The results of the evaluation of the recommendation engine show that using a context-aware approach improves the precision of recommendations. Furthermore, pragmatic aspects of UX, such as usefulness and system efficiency, are evaluated with participants with an overall positive impact on the use of the smart device.

Digital Financial Capability and Entrepreneurship in China: A Digital Economy Perspective

The digital economy is the fastest-growing sector in the world today, and will also be the key development direction of China in the future. The level of digital financial capability (DFC) determines whether households can fully embrace the inclusivity of digital finance and seize the business opportunities presented by the digital economy. Hence, we utilized panel data from the China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) and built a probit model with two-way fixed effects. The results revealed that DFC has a positive impact on household entrepreneurship through both supply- and demand-side mechanisms. The results also revealed that DFC has not only catalyzed the evolution of digital business models but has also enhanced the digital business performance of enterprises. The analysis of heterogeneity confirms that DFC can promote entrepreneurship in rural settings and in the retail and restaurant sectors. This research has important theoretical contributions and policy suggestions for governments to help them pay attention to the inclusive role of DFC in developing the digital economy.
