Through our work, we synthesize previous findings related to digital platforms and provide new insights into their ecosystem design. To achieve this, we conducted a comprehensive literature review to identify and synthesize relevant findings. Using this framework, we conducted a qualitative content analysis that allowed us to derive design recommendations and aggregate related design themes from the reviewed publications. The results of our study reveal a detailed framework that includes various design topics tailored to different stakeholders within the platform ecosystem. In practical terms, our findings provide valuable guidance to practitioners to help them make informed design and resource allocation decisions in the context of complex transformation projects. The identified themes synthesize the activities necessary to develop a platform's ecosystem and can be viewed as a basic design framework. This framework can serve as a playbook for practitioners seeking to navigate digital transformation processes toward platform-based models. Given the critical role of platform design in both academic and practical domains, this study aims to synthesize existing research on digital platforms and offer a framework that considers possible design topics from a business ecosystem perspective. This contribution is particularly important given the growing importance of platform ecosystems in today's digital economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143349254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Companies should adopt a cautious approach when integrating new technologies, emphasizing sustainable and human-centric transition. Furthermore, developing leadership skills that promote data-driven decision-making, collaborative problem-solving, and adaptive management is crucial.

However, this digital asset class carries several inherent risks. This study investigates the influence of three key risks, including liquidity risk, cyber risk, and regulatory risk, on the reinvestment intentions of investors. Data was collected from global crypto investors via a questionnaire and analyzed using PLS structural equation modeling. The study further used Investors' risk tolerance as a moderating variable. The findings of the study reveal that a significant and negative relationship exists between liquidity risk, cyber risk, regulatory risk, and investors' reinvestment intentions. Interestingly, investors with high-risk tolerance levels seem less affected by cyber security concerns, as they are more capable of absorbing or overlooking such risks. On the other hand, liquidity and regulatory risks appear to affect all types of investors irrespective of their risk tolerance level. This study bridges an important research gap by providing clear evidence on how these specific risks influence reinvestment decisions in the growing crypto market. It highlights the critical need for effective risk management strategies and stronger regulatory frameworks to address cyber vulnerabilities, tackle liquidity issues, and offer regulatory clarity. Taking these steps are essential for boosting investor confidence and encouraging their sustained involvement in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143166729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some scholars emphasise the need for new empirical research to theoretically deepen our understanding of the factors contributing to digital start-up emergence. In response, this study adopts liminality theory, enactment theory, and technology affordance theory to explain the underlying factors that drive the emergence of digital start-ups. The researcher uses a critical realist single case study methodology to explore various narratives of digital start-up founders within Nigeria's digital start-up ecosystem. The findings of this study identify the underlying mechanisms activated by digital platform boundary resources and the surrounding environmental structures and conditions. These mechanisms are integral to the events that lead to the formation of a digital start-up. The study advances the literature on digital business by developing a mechanisms-based theoretical model that outlines structures, enabling conditions, and generative mechanisms as transcendental factors. Ultimately, this study offers a detailed account of how digital platforms can facilitate digital business development. Notably, the mechanisms-based model is unique in its adaptability to different environmental circumstances and allows for flexible interpretation.

In response, this study examines how supply chain managers perceive the importance and interconnections of specific digital capabilities for digital transformation. Based on a digital capability framework, we surveyed supply chain managers in Austria and Germany. The sample consisted of two groups, comprising senior managers from logistics service providers and from manufacturing companies. Decision-Making Trail and Evaluation (DEMATEL) was used to evaluate the managers' perceptions of the importance of the enablers and their relationships between capabilities. Our findings show that senior managers in the supply chain domain perceive interactions between dynamic capabilities as a complex and highly interconnected system, rather than discrete and linear. Digital mindset crafting, digital scenario planning and improving digital maturity were identified as the most relevant capabilities in both subsamples, while digital sensing was considered to be the most relevant capability at the construct level, followed by digital seizing and digital transforming. Furthermore, supply chain managers in manufacturing perceived that digital capabilities were more developed in their industry. We anticipate that our findings will inform and guide capability-building in dynamic corporate settings. This study is one of the first to empirically assess how supply chain managers perceive the importance of specific digital capabilities and their interdependencies for digital transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100376,"journal":{"name":"Digital Business","volume":"5 1","pages":"Article 100098"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143166125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
