What the paper says

The book Handbook on Digital Platforms and Business Ecosystems in Manufacturing, edited by Sabine Baumann (2024) proposes a multidisciplinary analysis of the role of platforms and digital ecosystems (DBEs) in manufacturing.This sector has only recently seen these digital technologies and business models spread.Integrating theoretical and practical perspectives from disciplines such as management, engineering and computer science, the text offers insights into the transformative impact, governance, design, and environmental and social sustainability practices of manufacturing digital platforms and ecosystems.The text adopts the idea of DBE as a network of actors (i.e., manufacturers, suppliers, customers, and other partners) digitally interconnected and collaboratively creating and delivering products using digital technologies.Like biological ecosystems, the interdependence of participants and the system's evolution is based on mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion of actors.In contrast, the value creation activity is based on collaborative logic, distributed operations orchestration and value co-creation.The main feature characterizing manufacturing ecosystems is the absence of a dominant actor capable of guaranteeing the final output by exercising hierarchical power over other actors.Therefore, the dynamics of ecosystem functioning are based on collaborative interactions facilitated and supported by advanced digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, big data analysis, and distributed computing applications managed through cloud computing infrastructures.Digital platforms enable DBEs to support "agile networking" between participants and operationalize innovative business models, which often
