Digitalisation, knowledge management and technology transfer impact on organisations' circularity capabilities

Abstract

Transition to circular economy (CE) requires that organisations change the way they do activities. Through digitalisation the information flow can be improved across all the value chain. The information that is particularly relevant for CE needs to be created in the first place and shared within the organisation and among them to implement CE strategies. Implementation of CE strategies requires that organisations has the ability to access technologies through technology transfer to achieve higher co-operation levels. Circular processes can be defined as those processes within organisations that positively contributes towards CE principles implementation, such as re-using or recycling products and materials. Within this article knowledge management (KM), digitalisation, and technology transfer (TT) are analysed through systematic literature review to understand the impact of these three concepts on organisations capabilities to develop circular processes. The knowledge management theory demonstrate the need for higher attention on how within organisations and between organisations CE related information could be managed to achieve CE strategies for organisations and their networks, such as supply chain. Technology transfer ensures that there are pathways to transfer relevant technologies that can improve or enable CE processes to multiple organisations through open source or conditional transfers. A concept based on a literature review is proposed on how digitalisation facilitates knowledge management within & among organisations, improves decision making of circular processes, and enables CE strategies implementation.

Handling HTTP Flood Attacks in High-Load Applications Using Akka Actors Model

“…These attacks impose a heavy load on server applications and can potentially cause server failure if requests are delegated incorrectly. The resulting server failures have significant consequences and complicate server functioning [1]. DDoS attacks continue to be a significant threat, despite the availability of methods to detect and mitigate their consequences, such as monitoring network traffic and searching for anomalies, as well as technological solutions based on distributed query processing technology using actor models [2][3][4].…”

Impact of selected factors on digitalization of financial sector

“…A common feature in the technological development of the banking system of Ukraine and Europe is active investment in improving operations, optimizing customer interaction and improving the level of integration of banks with other systems (social networks, online shopping, etc.) (Jankovic, 2020;Mazurek, 2021;Radavičius & Tvaronavičienė, 2022;Nassar & Strielkowski, 2022).…”
