Статья посвящена анализу экономической природы цифровых платформ. В ней сопоставляются два механизма перераспределения экономических ресурсов – классический рыночный и властный внутрифирменный. Экономическая природа цифровых платформ связывается с развитием квазиинтегрированных структур. Обосновывается положение о том, что платформа не является в полном смысле традиционной фирмой, а представляет собой существенный компонент квазиинтегрированной экономической структуры, которая выносит внутрифирменные властные отношения за свои пределы и способна трансформировать рыночную организацию производства по ряду направлений. Платформа по сути своей организации опирается на формы работы на заказ потребителя, получившие развитие в постиндустриальной или информационной экономике. Она способна формировать спрос в виде поступления потока заказов от непосредственного потребителя. Цифровые платформы изменяют экономический статус фирм, действующих внутри неё, существенно ограничивая их обособленность. Это приводит к доминированию платформы как на отраслевом рынке, так и по отношению к фирмам, которые взаимодействуют на её основе. This article is devoted to the economic nature of digital platforms. There is a comparison of two redeployment mechanisms of economic resources: classical mar-ket-based mechanism and commanding intra-firm. The economic nature of digital platforms is connected with quasi integrated structure development. The article provides a statement that a platform is not a traditional firm(in its full sense) that it is just an essential component of quasi integrated economical structure that takes its intra-firm commanding relations outside and is able to transform market-based organization in a number of areas. Fundamentally, a platform is based on customer-related forms of work that was developed in the post-industrial or information economy. It is able to build a demand as a business stream directly from consumers. Digital platforms change economic status of companies that operate inside of it, significantly limiting their independence. In some cases it leads to the platform dominance on the sectoral market as well as its dominance according to the firms that interact on its basis.

Full textAbstract:
This paper focalizes on the economic model of digital platforms as a new method of coordinating the production of value. We suggest that the advent of “platform capitalism” is symptomatic of a crisis of the model of the firm understood as a space separated from society and based on private ownership. This crisis appears, first, as an inadequacy of the instruments of theoretical economics to take the digital platform model into account, and subsequently as a crisis concerning the ownership of the means of production: ownership seems to be split into intellectual ownership (especially algorithms) and physical ownership of the means of production (which are the prerogative of the platform’s users/producers/consumers). This new proprietary model allows us to revisit the question of the ownership of the means of production and the governance of the firm itself. In this sense, we suggest that in the claims of platform cooperativism, the platform-firm no longer appears as a group of assets that are already owned, but as an institution in which ownership corresponds to governance. In other words, ownership is understood as an institutional arrangement intended to govern the resource itself, which allows us to fully rethink the ownership of the firm according to the model of “the philosophy of the commons.”

Digital platform insurance market is expected to grow rapidly due to the rapid development of IT technology and the spread of non-face-to-face culture due to corona 19. Related regulations such as the revision of the Data 3 Act have also improved in favor of the development of the digital platform insurance industry. However, the provision of health care data, which is the most important to insurance companies, has not been implemented properly until now. This is presumed to be due to a combination of extreme sensitivity of healthcare data, social wave in case of leakage, and long distrust of insurance companies. Therefore, prior to the utilization of healthcare data, insurance companies should prepare a firm plan for the protection of information subjects, and based on this, they should lead to social trust. In order to activate digital platform insurance products, it is necessary to revise the current Financial Consumer Protection Act to alleviate ambiguous and extensive explanation obligations. In particular, it is desirable to impose a differentiated explanation obligation by subdividing insurance products subject to explanation obligation. For small and short-term insurance companies, it is necessary to promote the development and sales of various digital platform insurance products by encouraging the establishment of the regulations by applying more relaxed regulatory requirements than existing insurance companies.

Journal of Business & Industrial Marketing 38, no. 13 (January 9, 2023): 15–30. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/jbim-01-2022-0024.
Full textAbstract:
Purpose Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often operate in environments marked by high levels of turbulence. Such firms adopt digital technologies and platforms that provide access to external real-time information and establish digital connectivity between firms to remain competitive. This study aims to focus on SMEs’ downstream and upstream platform-based digital connectivity (PDC). Design/methodology/approach This study examines the effects of PDC on SMEs’ operational performance under conditions of environmental turbulence. The data was gathered from 192 SMEs operating in the manufacturing arena. Findings The results show that the adoption of PDC does not directly affect an SME’s operational performance. However, in highly turbulent environments, PDC can improve operational performance. The results indicate that the performance effects of PDC vary according to the level and type of environmental turbulence. Research limitations/implications This research offers insights into the relationship between PDC among SMEs and operational performance and encourages future research examining other possible conditional effects that could explain the contradictory results found in previous research. Originality/value This study contributes to the knowledge of supply-chain digitalization among SMEs and its performance effects in varying environmental conditions. Further, this study contributes to the prior research by focusing on the interorganizational aspects of digitalization in SMEs.

Full textAbstract:
Multiasistencia was an ecosystem in 2017 managing a network-based service called the “Comprehensive Claim Management Service” (CCMS). The firm offered home repair services to its 100 Corporate Clients (Financial Institutions and Insurance Companies) which attended to some 8 Million end customers, managing a network of some 6.000 Trade Professionals (SME and self-employee). The service was supported by an advanced digital platform to coordinate all actions in that ecosystem. The case shows the challenges of digitalization, namely (1) new digital entrants, (2) the Smart Home trends, (3) the digital effects on banking, and (4) the demand of personalization. Those strategic changes lead to Multiasistencia to create a Digital Hub to manage Big Data so placing students on the managerial situation to decide priorities in business model, processes, and new ways to grow.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the relationship between belief structures (perceived compatibility, self-efficacy, and subjective norm), behavioral adaptation, satisfaction, and continuance intention of a platform-based ride-hailing service called “Grab” in Vietnam. After applying a questionnaire-based survey method and convenience sampling for data collection, the study collected 439 responses from the current users of Grab. A structural equation modeling procedure was used to verify the hypotheses. The results revealed that, except for the relationship between perceived compatibility and behavioral adaptation, all belief structures positively affect behavioral adaptation and satisfaction. Furthermore, both satisfaction and behavioral adaptation positively affect the continuance intention. Our study also demonstrated the partial and full mediating role of behavioral adaptation between self-efficacy and continuance intention, and between subjective norm and continuance intention, respectively. Our study broadens the current understanding of the relationship mechanism between belief structures, behavioral adaptation, and continuance intention. Theoretically, this study is the first research into the relationships between belief structure, behavioral adaptation and continuance intention, and it also identifies the mediating effects of behavioral adaptation on continuance intention in the platform-based context. Additionally, our study offers insightful implications for firm managers to retain users effectively by boosting the factors contributing to continuance intention.

Full textAbstract:
The retail portion of the green industry, valued at $50.55 billion, continues to provide a major connection between the industry and consumers. Given the importance of retailers in the green industry and little research exists that documents their advertising practices and impacts, the 2013 Trade Flows and Marketing Practices survey included questions to capture data for retail-only firms. This paper reports on the percentage of sales retailers allocate to promotion and advertising, including a breakdown of media used; point-of-sale (POS) materials and how they are acquired; how green industry retailers are using social media and mobile marketing [in particular, quick response (QR) codes]; the methods retailers use to collect customer demographics; customer loyalty programs (CLP); and how they are managed by retailers and a comparison of retail firms’ advertising practices by size of firm. A combination of mailed and Internet-distributed surveys resulted in a total of 699 useable retail business responses with greater than or equal to $1000 in annual revenue. The median expenditure as a percentage of sales on advertising was 3.6% for all retail firms responding with 33.7% spending no dollars on advertising. In examining the distribution based on media type, the Internet was the most frequently listed by firms (32.3%) with a mean expenditure of 42.5% of total advertising dollars. Social media was listed second most frequently (21.5%) with a mean expenditure of 29.6%. Newspapers were listed as the third most frequently used type of media (18.0%). Social media use is strong and among social media platforms, Facebook (60%) far exceeds any other platform. A third of the respondents (34.2%) reported the use of POS materials. A very small percentage of firms (3.0%) reported using QR codes and 19.4% reported having a CLP. Of those, 45.8% used customer purchase cards, whereas 35.4% used POS software. Nearly 33% of the firms collected demographic information about their customers. Of those, the method with the highest percentage use (multiple responses were permitted) was social media (50.7%) followed by CLP (48.9%), web visits (34.5%), questionnaires (15.7%), social coupons (13.5%), census data (3.9%), and marketing firms (3.1%). There were firm-size differences in seasonal employees and mean sales per employee with large firms having greater numbers than hobby, small- or medium-sized firms. There were no differences in the percentage of advertising media allocations based on firm size, but large firms used web visits, social coupons, and social media more than other types of firms to collect customer demographics. While, green industry retailers are currently using social media for marketing green industry goods, they have much more opportunity to use electronic media for CLPs and to begin using QR codes or other mobile-centric technologies to deliver in-store promotional information to consumers.

Full textAbstract:
The article identifies the factors that determined the position of companies implementing ecosystem strategies at the top of the ratings of the most expensive companies in the world. The influence of information and technological development on the evolution of production organization forms in the industrial and digital eras and the formation of enterprise strategies in these periods have been analyzed. It was found that the reduction in the cost of computing, storing information, transferring, and processing data by economic agents in the internet era led to a decrease in the volume of their transaction costs and also influenced the disintegration of some value chains and links of these chains. In the future, the creation of economic value not only by producers but also by consumers and the transfer of the created value by the latter to other consumers caused a subsequent decrease in the volume of transaction costs, which, in turn, led to the unification of producers and consumers in ecosystems. It is shown that platform ecosystems operate based on the “inverted firm” concept, i.e., a firm that can locate production outside the firm and use external labor due to network effects. This circumstance allows platform-type ecosystems to achieve a low production level and zero marginal costs and, accordingly, to scale the company at a high rate. It was revealed that the leadership in the costs of platform ecosystems is the main factor in their displacement from the market of enterprises of the traditional form of management.

Full textAbstract:
There is increasing concern regarding the inequalities produced by digital platforms based on volunteered geographic information (VGI). Several forms of inequalities have been observed, namely the unequal spatial coverage and the uneven levels of usage even in territories with good coverage. However, VGI platforms under the logic of platform economy have generated other forms of spatial inequality that require more attention. The cyberspace within VGI platforms is producing different cyberspatialities, especially with the platformisation processes that have made this type of inequality more evident. With this in mind, this paper aims to explore the making of cyberdivisions under the platform economy. We argue that the design of VGI within digital platforms is generating cyberdivisions in the urban economy. This research is particularly interested in exploring the restaurant sector in the TripAdvisor platform in the city of Lisbon. In this paper, we draw on a representative survey by questionnaire to restaurant firm owners. We obtained 385 responses out of a universe of 3453 restaurants. This sample provides a confidence level of 95% and a confidence interval of 5%. In addition, we webscraped data from TripAdvisor to assess its coverage in Lisbon. This study reveals that there are different forms of online presence and engagement which have generated cyberdivisions.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to advance knowledge about the mechanisms behind, and the implications of, varying involvement in digitally enhanced employee-driven innovation (EDI) by studying how a firm integrates a web-based tool in the organization of its EDI process. Design/methodology/approach Based on a qualitative in-depth interview study with managers and employees at one high-performing and one low-performing office of a global IT firm, a critical discourse analysis was performed. It explored how the EDI discourse was produced, distributed and consumed in relation to the web-based tool for collecting and selecting employee ideas. Findings The results demonstrate that the production of the innovation discourse by the top-level management, which emphasizes client satisfaction rather than employee engagement, restricts the employees’ utilization of the digital platform that distributes the discourse. However, at the high-performing office, employee participation is ensured because the local managers act as co-distributors of the digital tool. Research limitations/implications The single case study design limits the generalizability of the results, but is nevertheless relevant for understanding the mechanisms and implications in similar contexts where web-based tools are used to enhance EDI processes. Practical implications The study provides practical insights into the importance of local management’s active promotion of digital tools in order to ensure employee involvement. Originality/value The study contributes to the EDI literature by identifying some mechanisms behind and the implications of varying employee involvement in digitally enhanced EDI processes.

Full textAbstract:
Only ten years ago, there were more internet users in countries like France or Germany than in all of Africa put together. But much has changed in a decade. The year 2018 marks the first year in human history in which a majority of the world’s population are now connected to the internet. This mass connectivity means that we have an internet that no longer connects only the world’s wealthy. Workers from Lagos to Johannesburg to Nairobi and everywhere in between can now apply for and carry out jobs coming from clients who themselves can be located anywhere in the world. Digital outsourcing firms can now also set up operations in the most unlikely of places in order to tap into hitherto disconnected labour forces. With CEOs in the Global North proclaiming that ‘location is a thing of the past’ (Upwork, 2018), and governments and civil society in Africa promising to create millions of jobs on the continent, the book asks what this ‘new world of digital work’ means to the lives of African workers. It draws from a year-long fieldwork in South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, and Uganda, with over 200 interviews with participants including gig workers, call and contact centre workers, self-employed freelancers, small-business owners, government officials, labour union officials, and industry experts. Focusing on both platform-based remote work and call and contact centre work, the book examines the job quality implications of digital work for the lives and livelihoods of African workers.

This chapter provides the first overview of political bots, fake accounts, and other false amplifiers in Poland. Based on extensive interviews with political campaign managers, journalists, activists, employees of social media marketing firms, and civil society groups, the chapter outlines the emergence of Polish digital politics, covering the energetic and hyper-partisan “troll wars,” the interaction of hate speech with modern platform algorithms, and the recent effects of “fake news” and various sources of apparent Russian disinformation. The chapter then explores the production and management of artificial identities on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks—an industry confirmed to be active in Poland—and assesses how they can be deployed for both political and commercial purposes. Overall, the chapter provides evidence for a rich array of digital tools that are increasingly being used by various actors to exert influence over Polish politics and public life.

Full textAbstract:
This introduction outlines peer production (P2P) as a type of social relations, a technological infrastructure and a new mode of production and property, whereby participants have maximum freedom to co-operate and connect. In the last decades, the author notes that the rise of peer production has been driven by three main factors: the sustainability crisis, neoliberalism and low cost information and communication technologies (ICTs). These factors have led to three main streams of peer production: firm-hosted peer production or platform capitalism (user-centric open innovation business models; the so-called sharing and gig economy); the commons (local and digital commons, the solidarity economy); and a hybrid commons-based peer production operating on the models of platform and open cooperativism. In turn, the author establishes his post-hegemonic perspective, focusing on commons-based P2P which is facilitated today by the architectural design of the Internet. To conclude, Vangelis proposes the book’s intention as to produce a critical dialogue between the different approaches to the commons, putting forth a postcapitalist commons-orientated transition beyond neoliberalism. freedom to co-operate and connect.

Digital platforms continue to contribute to the global economy by enabling new forms of value creation. Whereas the Information Systems literature is dominated by digital platform research, less is said about Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), the engine behind digital platforms. More so, there is a dearth in the literature on how developing economy firms create value through API integration. To address these research gaps, the author conducted a case study on DigMob (Pseudonym), a digital firm that focuses on the sale of indigenous African music to understand how it created value through API integration. Based on Amit and Zott's value creation model, the findings suggest that DigMob's value creation occurs on a broader value network comprising suppliers (e.g., payment service providers) and customers. For instance, DigMob generated value through the API-enabled platform by ensuring that music lovers purchase their preferred songs at competitive prices. DigMob has also been able to increase their revenue and brand image. Similarly, musicians have been able to rake substantial amounts of money through the sales of their music on the platform.

Full textAbstract:
Increased possibilities to utilize digital tools in the industrialization process where a product move from conceptualization toward mass production is challenged with how to develop resilience in such process. Several digital tools such as CAD, CAE, Production flow analysis, assembly analysis, and off-line programming of robots and CNC machines are commonly used in industry for both product development and production. There are also many good initiatives such as computational multidisciplinary design optimization or design automation in the aircraft industry to integrate such digital tools and increase the efficiency of the generating and distributing of information. However to maximize the benefit of digitalization, a fully digitalized platform is required where all parties including the product development team, manufacturing resources, suppliers, and even customers can contribute efficiently. Although establishing such a digitilized platform seems very promising, it confronts many challenges in a large firm. Hence, this paper, based on a theoretical outlook related to industrial observations, will explore challenges and opportunities related to the digitalization of product development and the manufacturing process.

Full textAbstract:
The ever-burgeoning development of digital twin systems lays the path for a new approach to wildfire monitoring and prevention. A real wildfire digital shadow reflects the fire development, providing a promising platform for firefighting decisions. However, currently, static terrain information cannot be integrated with dynamic wildfire locations, which is a great hindrance to the utilization of digital twin systems. The flame trend fails to be mapped in the digital shadow. The key to solving this issue is to ensure real-time data transfer. Thus, UAVs equipped with vision systems could be leveraged to maintain surveillance, transferring the real-time information to the digital twin systems. Initially, the study reviews the UAVs in wildfires. Specifically, the history of UAV tracking is introduced. Furthermore, the autonomous wildfire tracking system is proposed to assist in locating the fire front. A YOLO-based algorithm is utilized to detect the fire front. The UAVs use an orthographic view to locate the wildfire, controlling and maintaining the gesture with a perspective lock on the flame front. Then, UAVs track and follow the flame front without human intervention. In addition, the combination of UAV location information based on GPS and camera view information depicts the wildfire in the digital twin systems. This study aims to act as a pre-processing step for wildfire digital twin data transfer. It will provide a basis for the precise wildfire portrait in the virtual systems.

The Wellesley College Hall Archaeology Project incorporates digital engagement strategies to facilitate undergraduate participation in our community-based historical excavation. While building our research plan for exploring the site of a women’s dormitory fire from 1914, community members are invited to share their perspectives. This iterative process is meant to build inclusive conversations about how today’s diverse community reflects on differences and continuities with a privileged past. Students designed surveys to crowdsource community input on research themes and the excavation unit locations. Gamification offers participatory experiences for the community to learn about our research results. Students used the location-based mobile game platform ARIS Field Day to create a narrative that plays through our field site while discovering artifacts from a century ago. This expandable game gives students the opportunity to explore the landscape on their own terms, and asks them to reflect on and share their perspectives of the archaeological finds.

Full textAbstract:
Information asymmetries between regulators, suppliers, and clients in Global Wealth Chains (GWCs) are animated by conceptual uncertainty and legal indeterminacy. This chapter explores the impact of this uncertainty and indeterminacy in the digital economy where a concept-regulation-corporate form (C-R-C) gap obstructs tax traction. Firms such as Amazon, Airbnb, Facebook, Google, and Uber host services on digital platforms enabling consumers and businesses to connect and exchange. The chapter examines the C-R-C gap as the platform business model intersects with urban transport to impact fiscal sustainability. The immediate fiscal impact arises from a growth strategy that systematically generates tax assets, a mode of service delivery that circumvents the sales tax and an employment relation that removes social security obligations for the platform based multinational company.

Full textAbstract:
The economy of the Modern Work Platform is becoming increasingly relevant due to the spread of information and communication technology. As a result, digital work has gained popularity as a source of employment, especially in an economy where finding decent work is becoming increasingly difficult. Computer algorithms are now being used to alter and change the way people operate in increasing job specialization, handling large-scale human labour in a distributed manner. In these structures, human works are delegated, supplemented, and analyzed using tracked data and algorithms. Building on emerging algorithmic literature and qualitative examination, this article assesses the mechanisms by which the digital network manages staff in the sense of Uber, Bolt (formerly Taxify). It describes the difference in the degree to which such platforms limit freedoms over schedules and activities relevant to gig work. Based on in-depth interviews with 41 respondents working on different digital media and a survey of 105 staff on the same platform, the study finds that while all digital work platforms use algorithm management to delegate and assess work, substantial cross-platform variation. Uber, the largest network for ride-sharing, exercises a type of control called “algorithmic despotism” that controls the time and activities of staff more strictly than other network distribution firms. We end with a debate on the implications for the future of work of the spectrum of algorithmic power. It also addresses how algorithmic management and data-driven systems can be developed to build an improved workplace with intelligent machines, with implications for future work.

In the past two decades, building information modeling (BIM) has been widely adopted by architectural, engineering, and construction firms. Its technology is based on the integration and coordination of different disciplines and professions. It involves creating three-dimensional models containing data that can be organized and manipulated to serve design, construction, and operational phases. This raises the debate over how the existence of a platform that enables urban planners and decision makers of different disciplines is so crucial. Several research studies have recently been done to integrate BIM with geographic information systems (GIS) for numerous purposes, as illustrated by several case studies. This chapter comparatively analyzes different cases, given general acknowledgment of each. Problems and potentials of the existence of such integration will be defined, in order to estimate the need for such a platform. Finally, a model of integration between different disciplines was illustrated as a motivation for further studies in the future concerning this topic.

Abstract Major Oil and Gas operators and service companies look to undertake large scale digital transformations aimed at producing integrated, connected, and intelligent enterprises. These transformations require accelerating the journey to the cloud to modernize the entire application portfolio. By transitioning to the cloud, firms enjoy improved data analytics which allow for evolution to next generation digital work environment. This shift, however, comes with workforce challenges. Employees in all categories and at most levels will require significant cross- and up-skilling to take full advantage of the digital transformation. As vendors, suppliers, service companies, and operators move products and equipment around an expanding ecosystem of assets, security threats are likely to increase due to further geopolitical instability. Data based decision making, which enables the optimization of assets and automation of operations to minimize workforce risk exposure must be implemented with consideration of enterprise risk reduction (across the asset and workforce operational risk life cycle). As Oil and Gas operations become more geographically dispersed and diverse, they are exposed to new and evolving risk factors which can directly impact value. These risk factors make asset acquisition, development, management, and maintenance all more challenging. Analyses of risk in a digital foundation risk-based platform is most valuable at the earliest stages of asset development in determining whether to proceed with the planned development through to end-of-life decommissioning. Successful firms must create an end-to-end digital roadmap which delineates between technical and transactional activities and outlines effective stakeholder engagement at each project stage. The fundamental thesis of this paper is that although risk can be mitigated and reduced through the introduction of digital tools into oil and gas operations, it can never be completely removed. Furthermore, while industry research on the impact of digitalization usually rely heavily on cost savings, optimization, and health, safety, and environment (HSE) related cases, they typically fail to consider the contribution of digitalization on risk assessment and management. This paper argues that we need to move away from the focus on cost savings, process optimization, and HSE metrics improvement metrics. This paper sets up a mechanism for developing risk-based strategies for implementation of digital solutions.

Abstract In line with ADNOC digitalization strategy and our unwavering commitment towards 100% HSE and asset integrity, ADNOC Gas Processing have recently deployed Furnace Tube Inspection System FTIS technology via ultrasound intelligent pigging inspection for inspecting fired heaters as per API recommended practice 573. The purpose of this paper is to present the successful deployment and highlight the key benefits and value created from having such technology. In oil and gas industry, fired heater (often referred to as furnace) is utilized to heat process fluid to a desired temperature through exposing fluid in heating coils to a direct fire at burner. Fired heater consists of two sections of tubes, called radiant section and convection section. At the radiant section the process fluid is directly heated by radiation formed from the flame and at the convection section is heated by the flue gases leaving the radiant section Using the conventional UT methods for inspecting fired hearers is challenging and has some limitations. The usual inspection requirement of inspecting such asset, is manual entry and examine the condition of tubes using conventional UT/RT technique, by which complete inspection is not possible due to inaccessible and serpentine geometric nature of finned convection and radiation coil sections of Fired Heater. Thus, it leaves us with uncertainty in evaluating the Asset Integrity of the Heater. With this FTIS technology which is an ultrasonic based intelligent pig that operates remotely and autonomously scrolling through tubes to inspect the entire tubes of the convection and radiant sections tubes without the need of accessing the fired heater. This smart pig produces a massive digital and accurate measurements that can be later fully utilized to perform fitness for service and remanent life assessment in line with API. The key benefits and value created pertaining to this technology includes: Ensure 100% HSE by minimizing exposure of humans to hazards. Optimize the inspection man-hours Improve heat transfer efficiency via cleaning process With this technology we can obtain accurate and reliable Inspection data within short time Permanent Digital Record for complete tube system for future reference Lastly and importantly, it will ensure asset integrity as the technology can cover 100% in-situ inspection of the entire furnace tubes ADNOC gas processing has deployed FTIS technology via intelligent pigging inspection to inspect and assess the condition of radiant and convection section tubes of two regeneration gas heater (fired heater) at Habshan site which were commissioned in 2013. Post-deployment and to validate the technology, the data obtained from the intelligent pig has been validated with conventional UT and results revealed similar readings confirming technology accuracy and reliability. Looking ahead, having this massive digital accurate and reliable inspection date from FTIS will be utilized in ML platform for future prediction to further optimize inspection intervals of fired heaters.

The world we live in today is pervaded by digital, the net is increasingly present and mixes the dimensions of the physical and the virtual, changing the way we understand, decide and evaluate things and also the way we do business. Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are transforming the way we think and do marketing and the way companies relate to consumers and society.Internet has assumed a key role in nurturing innovation within business ecosystems. AI, big data and Internet of things (IoT) are key drivers of the current revolution in the way of communicating and relating among both individuals and products. This change is mainly due to the impact of algorithms’ mediations on the creation of value and customer engagement.Recent years, growing attention has been devoted to consumer brand engagement through emerging technological platforms (e.g., social media/artificial intelligence-based). However, despite important knowledge advancement, much remains unknown regarding the effect of Consumers’ Technology-Facilitated Brand Engagement (CTFBE) on individuals’ wellbeing, thus determining an important research gap (Hollebeek and Belk, 2021). CTFBE comprises a vital social facet. Hollebeek and Belk (2021) define CTFBE as a consumer’s bloodedly volitional resource investment in technology-mediated brand interactions (Kumar et al., 2019; Hollebeek et al, 2020). Online behavioral customer engagement occurs because of the rise of the new media and the advancement of technology, which have changed the way customers connect and interact with firms (Jahn and Kunz, 2012). One of the most active channels for such an aim are social media (Gummerus et al, 2012) where customers share their own experiences, information, review brands and manifest enthusiasm, delight, or disgust about a brand with others (Hollebeek and Chen, 2014).Digital transformation has totally transformed the value creation process (Reinartz et al., 2019) revolutionizing the way of doing business using the large mass of available data and information, through sophisticated service platforms that increase both effectiveness and efficiency in the value creation processes. AI has been a key component of digital transformation, substantially affecting consumer decision-making (Duan et al., 2021).AI, big data and the IoT are supporting and / or automating many decision-making processes: product, price, channel, supply chain, communication, etc. The customer experience is also redesigned starting from new value creation objectives and can become a stimulus for the creation of new business models. This, in turn, can provide a customized experience that is highly valued by consumers (Lemon and Verhoef, 2016). While new technologies have brought more ways for customers to interact with brands and companies, digital technologies have similarly enabled the automation of company’s interactions with customers (Kunz et al., 2017).According to Kumar et al (2010), AI represents the enabling technology for the transformation of marketing theory and practices: the enormous availability of data, the explosion of the possibilities to reach and interact on the markets and an increased speed of transactions. AI-enabled digital platform helps organizations to attract their customers (Bag et al, 2021; Chawla and Goyal, 2021).An increasing number of marketing decisions already use artificial intelligence in some way, and with the rise of big data is becoming easier to incorporate AI into business practices. Marketers may develop a more effective and personalized communication approach (Mogaji et al., 2020). For this reason, today AI is adopted in all activities where classification, forecasts and clustering are useful or necessary to solve problems and support decisions (management of anomalies in processes, logistics and optimization planning, customer service and customization).In the contemporary world the ubiquity of digital has made fluid the distinctions between channels and has integrated two dimensions of reality (physical and virtual one in phygital), the management of complex processes has become agile and adaptive, the advantages of integration and dynamic use of resources condition the operation of entire businesses. Well, what influence all this changes, new technologies and brand algorithms will have on social engagement?Prior studies on artificial intelligence in service and marketing research have not addressed customer engagement (Kaartemo & Helkkula, 2018). Perhaps, even Kaartemo & Helkkula (2018) specifically called for more research to answer the question: “How can we improve customer engagement through AI?”The article proposal is theoretical/conceptual in nature and starts from an updated review of academic literature on the aforementioned topics, mainly within marketing and business management disciplines, to achieve an interpretative attempt of Brand algorithm and social engagement (role) in digital era.
