Circular Economy is the solution for the current environmental crisis, representing a huge economic opportunity to build new sustainable businesses. However, many barriers need to be faced for its implementation at industrial scale—firstly, the lack of data sharing between the different stakeholders of product value-chains. The DigiPrime project is an EU-funded Innovation Action aimed at developing and demonstrating a digital platform with services able to unlock innovative cross-sectorial business models for the remanufacturing and recycling of target value-added products. In this paper, the concept behind the DigiPrime project is reported, with a particular focus on the construction sector.

Purpose This paper aims to test the “winner-takes-all” vs the “winner-takes-some” scenarios in digital platform competition dynamics in emerging markets. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses an analytical reference framework to assess the emergence of digital platforms in Russia, including four elements: definition of multi-sided platforms (MSPs), platform enablers, business models and competitive dynamics. Findings This paper concludes that Russia shows that a healthy competition between national and foreign MSPs led to the emergence of a shared equilibrium, where local platforms were able to retain a significant, often majority, share vis-à-vis foreign and global platforms. Research limitations/implications This paper stands as a counterpoint to the widespread conviction that digital platform dynamics will result into a “winner-takes-all” scenario and dominance of global platforms. Practical implications This case study offers practical data and analysis that can be used to create a baseline and evaluate the dynamics of digital platforms in emerging markets. It offers data, trends and evidence on Russia’s digital economy. Social implications This research provides a logical framework to help policymakers take decisions on a policy framework to regulate platforms in emerging markets. The good outcome of competition between local and foreign platforms should emerge as a policy objective to achieve in most emerging markets. Originality/value This case study is the first baseline to assess the dynamics of competition between national and foreign digital platforms in the Russian market. It is one of the first papers to tackle the market of digital platforms in an emerging and developing economy. It tries to address the debate between “winner-takes-all” and “winner-takes some” competition equilibrium through a concrete case study in an important G20 emerging market economy.

The article deals with the theoretical aspects of structures such as digital platforms, the revelation of the contemporary importance of digital platforms for economic and social development. Digital platforms have been found to be a relatively new phenomenon that has evolved over the last ten years. Approaches of scientists and practitioners to define the definition of «digital platform», their composition, common and distinguishing features between existing types of digital platforms are analyzed. The study found that most scholars are unanimous in identifying the digital platform as a key digital transformation tool that provides information sharing and transactions between a large number of online users. Generalizing scientists’ claims, the author defines an online platform by which we understand bilateral or multilateral markets with an infrastructure that operates online and facilitates transactions between different parties in the process of buying and selling goods and services. It is established that the largest companies in the world by the index of market capitalization now use platform business models. The stages of digital transformation of the market using digital platforms are presented, each of the six stages is characterized. The advantages of enterprises as a result of application of platform business models are highlighted. The strategies of monetization of digital platforms are considered, the mechanism of realization of each of them is described. Thus, it can be argued that digital platforms are a breakthrough innovation that can radically change the structure of the national market. On the one hand, digital platforms help to avoid the intermediary chain, offering the ultimate consumer the full range of options. On the other hand, in the case of «digital monopoly», the owners of successful platforms receive effective market control levers (including information asymmetries) and can impose their pricing policies on service consumers. In these circumstances, the «traditional» business in strategic terms is threatened by the risk of loss of distribution channels and full dependence on platform owners.

The presented study examines the fundamental prerequisites for the emergence of digital platforms, which would provide a global view of the role that platforms play in creating a new organizational model — an ecosystem of high-tech industries.Aim. In the context of industrial digitalization, the study aims to substantiate the creation of a modern mechanism for coordinating high-tech market participants within a single economic and organizational space — an ecosystem based on a cross-industry digital platform.Tasks. The authors analyze the international experience of implementing digital platforms, identify problems and provide recommendations for solving them in the context of digital platform implementation in the Russian industry.Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of cognition in various aspects to analyze the current vector of industrial development driven by the introduction of ecosystems as a new organizational and economic model; describe the principles of their formation, possible structure, and main differences from traditional cluster and network models; substantiate that an ecosystem model allows its participants to achieve a positive synergistic effect in the implementation of their strategic development goals in the context of digital transformation.Results. The issues of using the tools of an industrial digital platform to facilitate the interaction between participants within an ecosystem are considered. Platform solutions in the industry show great promise in terms of analyzing large amounts of data, reducing transaction costs, and obtaining “perfect information”. The direction for the implementation of cross-industry digital platforms and creation of ecosystems in the near future is characterized.Conclusions. Digital cross-industry interaction within the framework of a common platform will expand external communications and promotion channels, making it possible to introduce digital business models and diversify production, but also requiring compatibility between the systems of industrial enterprises and a functioning digital platform and cloud environment.

Platform business models for research and design of innovative products have not found widespread use in the national mechanical engineering branch yet. Meanwhile, the manufacturing process organization based on digital twin prototype and competence distribution models is a world trend in the innovative product design and implementation. The applied digital platform implemented at the Innovation Design Center of the Industrial Technopark of the Republic of Mordovia provides requirements engineering, system architecture engineering and test engineering services. These services are carried out with the support of software systems and related equipment operating in a single information environment. One of the challenges of the digital platform architectural design is the choice of methods and tools for integrating CAD / CAM / CAE systems, industrial software, test and process equipment and newly developed services into the PLM Teamcenter environment. Another task is to provide access to platform resources for geographically remote clients with maximum localization of services production within the platform. The task is solved on the basis of a powerful instrumental core, which includes the most modern computing and telecommunication systems, technological, test equipment and measuring instruments. The structure of the digital platform deployment considered in the paper reflects its current status.

AbstractDigital platform business models are disrupting traditional business processes and reveal a new way of creating value. Current validation processes for business models are designed to assess pipeline business models. They cannot grasp the logic of digital platforms, which increasingly integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) to ensure success. This study developed a new validation process for early market validation of digital platform business models by following the Design Science Research methodology. The designed process, the Smart Platform Experiment Cycle (SPEC), is created by combining the Four-Step Iterative Cycle of business experiments, the Customer Development Process, and the Build-Measure-Learn feedback loop of the Lean Startup approach and enriching it with the knowledge of digital platforms. It consists of five iterative steps showing the startup how to design their platform business model and corresponding experiments and how to run, measure, analyze, and learn from the outcomes and results. To assess its efficacy, applicability, and validity, SPEC was applied in the German startup GassiAlarm, a service marketplace business model. The application of SPEC revealed shortcomings in the pricing strategy and highlighted to what extent their current business model would be successful. SPEC reduces the risk of building a product or service the market deems redundant and gives insights into its success rate. More applications of the SPEC are needed to validate its robustness further and to extend it to other types of digital platform business models for improved generalization.
