Abstract
Digital technologies ignite new businesses and force existing companies to restructure their business models. Various independent academic research streams discuss the potential of digital technologies for business. However, these streams’ research findings are published across outlets in various communities, and an approach to bringing these streams together is missing. In this position paper, we propose to integrate these streams under the concept of Digital Business. We see Digital Innovations as the core of Digital Business and offer a framework for structuring the field. Using this framework, we describe the field’s development to date and provide three ideas for further integrating the field in the future. Altogether, a key aim of this paper is to create a conceptual basis that structures both research and education in the field Digital Business.
期刊介绍：
Electronic Markets (EM) stands as a premier academic journal providing a dynamic platform for research into various forms of networked business. Recognizing the pivotal role of information and communication technology (ICT), EM delves into how ICT transforms the interactions between organizations and customers across diverse domains such as social networks, electronic commerce, supply chain management, and customer relationship management.
Electronic markets, in essence, encompass the realms of networked business where multiple suppliers and customers engage in economic transactions within single or multiple tiers of economic value chains. This broad concept encompasses various forms, including allocation platforms with dynamic price discovery mechanisms, fostering atomistic relationships. Notable examples originate from financial markets (e.g., CBOT, XETRA) and energy markets (e.g., EEX, ICE). Join us in exploring the multifaceted landscape of electronic markets and their transformative impact on business interactions and dynamics.
