Digitisation is changing not only our society but also markets, strategies and busi- ness models, which has increased competition in many markets. At the same time, large companies with a digital business model, such as Amazon, in particular, are experiencing a rapid rise, which has triggered a debate about fair competitive conditions. However, it is not only the company’s significant market power that is a cause for concern. The increasing vertical integration of platform operators such as Amazon, which makes them direct competitors of their own platform users, also raises competition law issues. Against this backdrop, it is the aim of this article to analyse Amazon’s business model in more detail from a competition law perspec tive. The analysis aims to identify which parts of the company’s business model and the resulting strategies may be seen as problematic under competition law.

Digitalisation is permanently changing workflows and processes within an organisation and the respective business model is being redesigned as a result. Against this backdrop, the question of the potential of digital business models in public administration inevitably arises. This study builds on existing literature on digital business models, develops a model on the potential of digital business models and expands existing theory based on a case study in the public sector. A reality check, in which the theoretical model was applied to the public sector, provides a focussed insight into business model research on both a practical and theoretical level. The results show that different potentials can be found in the analysed business models. The study also shows that digital business models can have a positive impact on public organisations. Various potentials such as «time savings», «cost savings» and «transparency» were identified, which confirm the theory. The results also provided empirical support for the theoretical model developed. This makes an important contribution to the current discourse on digitalisation within the public management literature. Abstrakt Die Digitalisierung verändert Abläufe und Prozesse innerhalb von Organisationen nachhaltig und Geschäftsmodelle werden dadurch neu konstruiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich unweigerlich die Frage nach den Potenzialen von digitalen Geschäftsmodellen in der öffentlichen Verwaltung. Die vorliegende Studie knüpft an bestehende Literatur über digitale Geschäftsmodelle an, entwickelt ein Modell zu den Potenzialen digitaler Geschäftsmodelle und erweitert bestehende Theorie ausgehend von einer Fallstudie im öffentlichen Sektor. Anhand einer Realitätsüberprüfung, bei der das theoretische Modell auf den öffentlichen Sektor angewandt wurde, wird auf praktischer, wie auch auf theoretischer Ebene ein fokussierter Einblick in die Geschäftsmodellforschung ermöglicht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass in den analysierten Geschäftsmodellen unterschiedliche Potenziale zu finden sind. Weiter legt die Studie dar, dass sich digitale Geschäftsmodelle positiv auf öffentliche Organisationen auswirken können. So wurden verschiedene Potenziale wie «Zeitersparnis», «Kosten sparen» und «Transparenz» identifiziert. Weiter konnte anhand der Resultate das entwickelte theoretische Modell empirisch abgestützt werden. Damit wird ein wichtiger Beitrag zum aktuellen Diskurs zum Thema Digitalisierung innerhalb der Public Management Literatur geleistet. Abstraite La numérisation modifie durablement les déroulements et les processus au sein d’une organisation et le modèle d’entreprise correspondant est ainsi reconstruit. Dans ce contexte, la question des potentiels des modèles commerciaux numériques dans l’administration publique se pose inévitablement. La présente étude s’appuie sur la littérature existante sur les modèles d’entreprise numériques, développe un modèle sur les potentiels des modèles d’entreprise numériques et élargit la théorie existante à partir d’une étude de cas dans le secteur public. Un examen de la réalité, dans lequel le modèle théorique a été appliqué au secteur public, permet d’obtenir un aperçu ciblé de la recherche sur les modèles d’entreprise, tant sur le plan pratique que théorique. Les résultats montrent que les modèles d’entreprise analysés présentent des potentiels différents. En outre, l’étude montre que les modèles commerciaux numériques peuvent avoir un impact positif sur les organisations publiques. Ainsi, différents potentiels tels que le gain de temps, la réduction des coûts et la transparence ont été identifiés et confirment la théorie. De plus, les résultats ont permis d’étayer empiriquement le modèle théorique développé. Cela constitue une contribution importante au discours actuel sur le thème de la numérisation dans la littérature sur la gestion publique.

This research looks at online concerts that have seen great success in South Korea during the Covid-19 period. It combines a socio-economic approach and a content analysis to see if this evolution of the live concert is likely to become a new economic model for K-pop. Although national policy efforts exist in South Korea, online K-pop concerts are more of a logical continuation of a system that relies on corporations and private capital. We observe the recent movement of powerful capital in the production of online concerts and an increased dependence on the few broadcasting platforms. The analysis of the content of an online concert shows that the content and technologies used have been specially chosen to approximate the characteristics of the traditional concert.

Sugarcane is one of the oldest crops ever cultivated by humans and has a long history. Currently, the prevalent practice of burning sugarcane fields increases environmental concerns because many farmers frequently use this method to facilitate the harvest process and prepare the area for the next planting crop. Thus, the effective use of sugarcane leaves with proper management can overcome this problem. This paper represents sugarcane leaf management by developing a business model focused on collection, densification, and transportation, explicitly targeting the conversion of waste sugarcane leaves into fuel for a biomass power plant. The business model is categorized into two primary groups: the farmer group and the middleman group. Both groups are incentivized to invest in tools and equipment for collecting and densifying biomass, thereby facilitating the effective performance of the model. Furthermore, an economic analysis has been conducted encompassing an investment cost evaluation and the estimation of the payback period for this business model. The results indicate that the farmer group demonstrates a payback period of 1.72 years, while the middleman group reveals a longer payback period of 2.06 years. This strategic approach not only enhances the value of biomass waste but also significantly reduces the unwanted burn on farming fields, effectively mitigating air pollution.

The aim of the paper is to analyse the impact of dynamic capabilities, business model and organizational culture on the digital transformation process of a traditional organization. Our approach will try to determine to what extent the success of the digital transformation journey is influenced by these three factors and this in spite of the novelty and the complexity of the question of digital transformation. Our research methodology is based on the critical analysis of the reports and of the Internet sources related to the digital transformation process. Our findings suggest that there is a strong dependency between the three elements, both in relation with each other and with digital transformation process.

In the current business environment, financial reporting has become insufficient in terms of information, which is caused by the increasing information needs of stakeholders. In this context, an integrated reporting modality has emerged thanks to the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), where the information presented is both financial and non- financial information, such reporting being called “Integrated Reporting”. Thus, starting from this consideration, the main objective of the paper aims at the main aspects that lead to the presentation of the benefits of implementing integrated reporting in organizations, through the ability to understand, in a more complete way, the "real" performance of a sustainable organization. The essential elements contained in an integrated reporting concern the capital, the business model and the process of creating and maintaining value, this reporting must be integrated in the strategy and vision of the organization, allowing through the transparency of these integrated reports the observation of all aspects led to the results obtained by the organization, as well as providing information on the role of the organization in society and the context in which it operates, the image of the organization being complete. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance and role assigned to integrated reporting in measuring the performance of a sustainable organization, by making it easier to understand the cause and effect of the link between financial performance and sustainability by stakeholders.

This article botanizes in the history of lexicography trying to connect the dots and get a deeper understanding of what is happening to the discipline in the framework of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The objective is to suggest possible ways out of the present deadlock. History shows that a sudden change of the technological base, like the one we are now experiencing, suggests a total revolution of the discipline in all its major dimensions. In order to be successful, such a revolution requires a mental break with past traditions and habits. As a matter of example, the article focusses on a series of bilingual writing assistants developed by the Danish company Ordbogen A/S and the new challenges posed to lexicography by these and similar tools. It argues that these challenges cannot be solved by means of traditional user research which is retrospective as it unfolds in the framework of an old paradigm. As an alternative, and without excluding other types of user research, the article recommends disruptive thinking by means of brainstorm, immersion, and contemplation and provides some examples on how to proceed. Finally, it problematizes the incipient competition between human and artificial lexicographers and gives a brief account of a possible future redistribution of tasks.

Cette étude a pour objectif de déterminer les caractéristiques et le business model du Crowdfunding au Maghreb. Pour ce faire, nous avons opté pour la méthode qualitative, en nous appuyant sur le questionnaire et l’analyse du contenu des sites internet de quatre plateformes de Crowdfunding opérantes au Maghreb, comme outils de collecte de données, permettant de réaliser l’objectif escompté. L’étude a révélé que les caractéristiques du Crowdfunding dans les trois pays du Maghreb: le Maroc-la Tunisie et l’Algérie, présentent quelques similitudes. Le même constat a été relevé concernant le business model du Crowdfunding dans cette région.

When natural disasters occur, governments are often considered as “insurers of last resort” and are expected to help with losses not covered by traditional insurance and to coordinate and fund reconstruction efforts. As the frequency and severity of natural disasters (storms, floods, wildfires) increase, this becomes financially unsustainable for budget-constrained governments. Catastrophe bonds are one mechanism designed to transfer these types of risks to the capital market. They work as an insurance policy in which the holder of the policy receives a pay-out when a disaster reaches a predetermined threshold. re:focus partners came up with the idea of Resilience Bonds to complement catastrophe bonds. Resilience Bonds create incentives for cities to invest in resilience so as to reduce the human and financial cost of catastrophes when they strike. Resilience Bonds are designed to fund risk reduction projects via a resilience rebate that turns avoided losses in to a revenue stream.

Innovation in public organisations often also means further development of forms of cooperation between government and industry. It can help to think in terms of business models and to try out new ideas in interdisciplinary dialogue. Basic elements of administrative action are combined with innovative approaches. To this end, old and new competencies must be brought together, innovation areas created and a risk culture introduced. This contribution argues for the strengthening of important competences in administrative action and for an open innovation mentality at the interface between state and economy based on this. Abstrakt Innovation in öffentlichen Organisationen bedeutet oft auch eine Weiterentwicklung der Zusammenarbeitsformen zwischen Staat und Wirtschaft. Dabei kann es helfen, in Geschäftsmodellen zu denken und Neues im interdisziplinären Dialog auszuprobieren. Grundlegende Elemente des Verwaltungshandelns werden mit innovativen Ansätzen kombiniert. Dazu müssen alte und neue Kompetenzen zusammengebracht, Innovationsräume geschaffen und eine Risikokultur eingeführt werden. Dieser Beitrag plädiert für die Stärkung wichtiger Kompetenzen des Verwaltungshandelns und für eine darauf aufbauende offene Innovationsmentalität an der Nahtstelle zwischen Staat und Wirtschaft. Abstraite L’innovation dans les organisations publiques signifie souvent aussi le développement de nouvelles formes de coopération entre l’Etat et l’économie. Il peut être utile de penser en termes de modèles économiques et d’expérimenter de nouvelles idées dans le cadre d’un dialogue interdisciplinaire. Les éléments de base de l’action administrative sont combinés avec des approches novatrices. Les compétences anciennes et nouvelles doivent être réunies, des espaces d’innovation doivent être créés et une culture du risque doit être introduite. Cette contribution plaide pour le renforcement de compétences importantes dans l’action administrative et pour une mentalité d’innovation ouverte à l’interface entre Etat et économie.

Research background: Changes have become an important topic of discussion among enterprises making it a top priority, especially in addressing sustainability concerns. No other issue is as important as sustainability from the point of globalization. Discussion is about to work intensively towards reinventing existing business models and integrating some methods to stay competitive and profitable. It requires an updated management capability not only through the modernization of processes, but also the creation of a new level of value creation within the company. The Quality Management System (QMS) can be used as a tool for reconstruction of the business activities and creation of new innovative ideas in the company, which comply with changing customer preferences, revenue mechanisms, and, finally, processes and value chains. Purpose of the article: This research aims to analyse the transformation of a business model which is affected by implementation of the Quality Management system and to find out how it influences the sustainability of a business model. Methods: In this research the authors used content analysis method with inductive and deductive approach as well as methods of selection and survey of respondents and appropriate quantitative methods to process the obtained data. Findings & Value added: The results drawn from this research provide academics and practitioners with a better understanding of impacts that an adopted QMS have on business model dimensions within an enterprise. Findings of the research show whether these impacts aid them in becoming more sustainable. This knowledge can then be applied to strategies and management skills for the purpose of achieving better modelling results.

Research background: Cross-border activities for FinTech companies in several markets bring them completely new opportunities and drive the appetite for new deals, but the complexity of doing business internationally is often underestimated: many risks, which have an influence of business models, can be determined. The emphasis of this research is on those risks that can be brought into particularly correlation with the cross-border activities of a FinTech company and at the same time influence the whole business activity of it. Purpose of the article: The aim of this research is to find out what kind of risks corresponds to so called cross-border risk-group and is the most common for internationally designed FinTech business models. Additionally, to determine those business model areas, which are influenced by cross-border risks the most and must be created with focus on avoiding, mitigating or sharing these risks. Methods: To achieve the goal the authors interviewed representatives of different FinTech companies. In these interviews, experts were asked to describe the most significant risks and to assess the importance of them for each business model dimension by using the Likert’s scale as well as to explain the dependencies and the consequences of their influence on different business model areas. Findings & Value added: The result of this research forms the basis for conclusions about the most significant cross-border risks and their impact on dimensions of a business model as well as makes recommendations possible for those FinTech-enthusiasts who are going to model their FinTech business internationally.

Research background: Under the conditions of post-industrial economy, market subjects tend to use digital technologies more intensively. Many authors define digital technologies as innovation, describe possibilities of automatization and try to find out some limitations of smart technologies implementation. In this research, we consider that Industry 4.0 and digital technologies can transform traditional business model radically. That is why, it is very important to highlight the ways of digitalization in business and to justify the choice of the most effective smart technologies during the period of business transformation. Purpose of the article: to highlight the local ways of digitalization in global corporations and to discover the most effective ones among them. Methods: in this research, we run comparative analysis of new business models using recent articles in scientific journals and empirical evidence from open sources. Also, we use the results of expert assessments based on depth-in interviews. Findings & Value added: the most perspective ways of digitalization in global corporations are highlighted: digital automatization implementation, during which the existent process in traditional business model is digitized; new IT service appearance, that improves the traditional business model; digital transformation of traditional business model into the new one with a digital platform core. A visual model of monitoring the digitalization process within the company is proposed. It is proved that smart technologies can transform business model radically. These technologies affect the structure of companies’ supply and can change market structure (including global market) through active company strategy and behavior.

Research background: Through the ongoing trend of digitalization, organizations competing in international markets are getting more exposed to different technology related risks. Globalization and technology support enabled small tech-based companies to scale and expand their business. On the other hand, this has also led to a significant rise of different types of threats. Companies engaged in the process of internalization are more exposed to digital risks than companies competing on the local market. In order to help their companies to manage digital risks, governments use relevant institutions and resources. However, many organizations still largely depend on their own capabilities. A growing number of organizations uses artificial intelligence in business models as a new type of response to digital risks. Artificial intelligence could be the missing link that will help connect organizational and government resources for successful management of digital risks. Purpose of the article: To shed more light on this understudied issue, we conducted a literature review on the use of artificial intelligence in business models as a tool for managing digital risks on the global market. Methods: Literature review. Findings & Value added: We analysed the key determinants of artificial intelligence, their use in business models, and the way it can help organizations manage digital risks. Literature review summarizes the most important research on the topic and proposes new avenues for future research.

The authors studied the indicators that impacted on the sustainable development of industrial enterprises and developed the comprehensive method for their evaluation. This methodology consists of 4 stages: data collection, evaluation of indicators, identification of deviations from the principles of sustainable development, recommendations for adjusting the business model and the network structure of cooperation. A scoring evaluation of the indicators of sustainable development for enterprises is proposed. The authors selected 12 indicators and grouped them according to the economic, environmental and social principles of sustainable development. The study identified seven classes of sustainability for enterprises and their characteristics. If enterprises had higher score, it meant they had higher class and higher sustainability, and vice versa. The method was tested on the example of the evaluation of production of construction-polymer products for 2020. The proposed methodology will enable enterprises to independently evaluate the level of sustainable development. It will also show deviations from the norm separately for each principle of sustainable development. The perspective of this study is that it is possible to develop recommendations for each class of sustainable development.

A business model is a key tool for companies and their employees to achieve market success. It can be used by healthcare providers, though this is not a common practice. While the number of publications about business models is growing, there is no universal description of a model which can be used by hospitals. The purpose of this article is to present a new business model on the healthcare market, launching of which will be accompanied by an adjustment of the value linkage and aims to generate a sustainable competitive advantage. This proposal for a business model is based on the analysis of business models available in the literature for healthcare providers and of business models for service companies. The business model proposed serves as a main key to achieving market success by entities and their employees. The healthcare providers delivering medical services through digital technologies improve communication between doctors and patients, employees of the healthcare services and stakeholders. These technologies increase patients’ quality of life and have a special meaning to increase their overall health. The digital business model provides increased values to the patients which manifests itself in service reliability information and customer focus.

L’objectif de notre communication est de comprendre la construction du Business Model ou modèle d’affaires d’un nouvel entrant dans le secteur de la vente directe des produits cosmétiques en Tunisie. Nous nous appuyons sur le canevas conçu par Osterwalder et Pigneur (2010) composé de neuf blocs. Nous adoptons une méthodologie qualitative basée sur l’étude en profondeur d’un cas unique d’entreprise. Ce travail montre que la création de valeur, qui est au cœur du Business Model, est le fruit de la constitution d’un écosystème de partenaires. A travers ce travail, nous proposons d’enrichir le canevas de base en y intégrant la dimension RSE

The concept of marketing value occurred interesting due to a result of the process of transformation of traditional business relationships into specific type of cooperation of enterprises to create multivalued for demanding customers. It also concerns studied companies of the sector of waste collection and recycling, as well as their partners and customers. In the studied case, marketing value is created by enterprises, their cooperants and customers for the purpose of further satisfaction of target market need, in at least three-spherical business model. This model often has multi-concept, or holistic nature while combining relationship marketing, supply marketing, integral, internal, systemic, strategic and social marketing. Companies representing the sector of waste management apply smart technological solutions which result in interactive formation of market value. Smart ways of creation of marketing value, in the sector of waste management enterprises in the environment of IT solutions is the goal of this paper. The main research methods used are case studies.

The development of entrepreneurship in any country is inextricably linked with the participation of the state, without the intervention and support of which it is impossible to create a friendly institutional environment conducive to the development of entrepreneurial initiatives and entrepreneurial activity of the population. Small and medium entrepreneurship is the main driving force of the country's economic development throughout the world. The development strategy of the Russian Federation for 2018-2024 includes seven strategic priorities, some of which relate to the development of entrepreneurship and support for civic entrepreneurial initiative, the creation of a competitive economy in which government policy will be aimed at partnership with private business and reducing the direct participation of the state in the economy, and support of such socially important areas as health, education, social sphere, etc. In this connection, there is a need for s forms of the partnership of state and business structures in socially important sectors in order to attract small and medium-sized businesses. At the same time, a mechanism is needed to implement such a partnership, which should be based on a business model that will allow you to clearly understand the logical links and relationships. This paper describes the author's version of the configuration (template) of the business model of state franchising as a form of partnership between business and government. The basis is the canvas of the classic business models of Osterwalder-Pigneur and Ash Maurya. Special attention is paid to unfair (non-market) competitive advantage, which business receives. The described business model makes it possible to cover the partnership in general, concentrate on the main things, discover bottlenecks and interdependencies, contradictions and alternatives. Work within the framework of this business model gives a chance to significantly increase the efficiency of partners and to support socially significant areas of business.

Business modeling is an innovative form of representation of inter-firm interactions of enterprises and organizations, united by formal and informal economic relations. The business model is a graphic illustration of the structure of these relations, helping to understand their logic and complexity in the context of globalization. Networking and clustering are the responses to the global challenges of the external environment. In these conditions, new variants of an interaction of economic agents arise in conditions of uncertainty and risk. The most common form of intrafirm interaction in the conditions of one territory is clustering, which, as practice shows, have network structures. In our opinion, the purpose of the regional cluster as a network is to implement the key competencies of the territory and improve the quality of the economic situation in the region by improving the business climate of the environment. There are many efforts of scientists and business practitioners to design and make configurations for illustration of the cluster's relations and interactions. The main goal of this article is to show a new way of graphic design of clusters from the position of ecological approach instead of the UML. The article describes the configuration of the cluster business model in its interpretation as an innovative network ecosystem. Theoretical views about the cluster were extended in the direction of the configuration of its business model and the definition of its main structural elements. Particular attention is paid to the partnership interaction of the main groups of economic agents in the cluster, which include: key business structures, key educational organizations, key research organizations, and the state.

Current trends in economic development emphasize the importance of crisis management at both the macro and microeconomic levels. The analysis of current problems of Russian enterprises has shown that at present some outdated approaches to this problem prevail in domestic science and practice. Therefore, a new scientific direction “Anti-crisis business regulation” is becoming increasingly important. In the world practice, the term crisis-management is not associated solely with the problems of bankruptcy. On the contrary, it is a broader concept that includes a range of problems. Therefore, the technology of anti-crisis business regulation should be universal enough and allow to solve any socio-economic, financial and organizational problem. The basic tool of anti-crisis business regulation are methods of diagnostics, monitoring and forecasting of the crisis phenomena at the enterprises which have, first of all, preventive character. One of such approaches is a method of forecasting the probability of insolvency (bankruptcy) on the basis of logit-model. This approach, tested on the sample of enterprises of Penza region, has shown a significant increase in the accuracy of forecasts compared to traditional models, for example: Altman and others.

Résumé Les biobanques ou centres de ressources biologiques (CRB) sont les maillons essentiels de la recherche translationnelle. Ces structures bénéficient de financements publics récurrents afin d’établir des collections d’échantillons biologiques utilisées dans le cadre de projets de recherche. Plus de 100 biobanques ont été développées sur le territoire national au sein des hôpitaux universitaires et des centres de lutte contre le cancer. Le développement de nouvelles techniques et de nouvelles méthodes d’analyses dans la recherche médicale bouleversent les pratiques et soulèvent de nouveaux défis scientifiques et organisationnels dans la collecte, la transformation et la conservation des échantillons. Relever ces défis devient un enjeu primordial pour les biobanques. La mise en place d’une stratégie dynamique pour anticiper les besoins des utilisateurs est nécessaire et repose sur de nouveaux modes de fonctionnement. Cet article décrit les enjeux à court et à moyen terme pour les biobanques françaises et propose des éléments d’organisation pour y répondre. Summary The biobanks or centers for biological ressources are pivotal for translationnal research projects. These structures are granted in France by recurrent public financial supports aiming to establish collections of biological samples for research project developments. More than 100 biobanks have been set up in different public hospitals or in different comprehensive cancer centers in France. The onset of new technologies and of new methods for analyses in medical research fields induced a profound shift in routine practices and created new scientific challenges for the collect and the storage of human samples. Rising to these challenges is now a major issue for the biobanks. Setting up a dynamic strategy to anticipate the future user needs is essential and it is based on new operating modes. This review describes the short and median term challenges for the biobanks in France and proposes some ways to meet them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
