“…Our research contributes to the nascent research stream of manufacturing ecosystems. While Kazantsev et al (2023), Schmidt et al (2023) or Suuronen et al (2022) describe Industry 4.0 technologies, such as digital platforms, as enablers for manufacturing ecosystems, we highlight the shift to a new vehicle propulsion technology as supporting the further transition of a manufacturing ecosystem. This is because new entrants are required for xEV technologies to enter the ecosystem, as mentioned in Table 2 and 3,for providers of engineering and technology, RI and established automotive suppliers.…”

“…For some ecosystem members, the involved technologies pose considerable challenges while they provide little objective value. As the results suggest, smaller suppliers with different business models have less impact and benefits and must thus be integrated into the entire ecosystem (Kazantsev et al, 2023;Schmidt et al, 2023).…”

“…Several authors describe the formation of manufacturing ecosystems due to Industry 4.0 or post Covid-19 (e.g. Das and Dey, 2021;Schmidt et al, 2023). While other industries have seen developments toward ecosystems earlier, the automotive industry is characterized by traditional standards and is organized centrally by the automobile original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) (Kazantsev et al, 2023;Riasanow et al, 2021;Suuronen et al, 2022).…”

PurposeBusiness Model Innovation is increasingly created by an ecosystem of related companies. This paper aims to investigate the transition of a manufacturing ecosystem toward electric vehicles from a business model perspective.Design/methodology/approachThe authors investigate an automotive manufacturing ecosystem that is in transition toward electric and electrified vehicles, conducting semi-structured interviews with 46 informants from 27 ecosystem members.FindingsThe results reveal that the actions of several ecosystem members are driven by regulations relating to emissions. Novel requirements regarding components and complementary offers necessitate the entry of actors from other industries and the formation of new ecosystem members. While the newly emerged ecosystem has roots in an established ecosystem, it relies on new value offers. Further, the findings highlight the importance of ecosystem governance, while the necessary degree of change in the members' business models depends on their roles and positions in the ecosystem. Therefore, upstream suppliers of components must perform business model adaptation, whereas downstream providers must perform more complex business model innovation.Originality/valueThe paper is among the first to investigate an entire manufacturing ecosystem and analyze its transition toward electric vehicles and the implications for business model innovation.

“…Digital supply chains framework Industry 4.0 holds significant potential for the development of novel business models, if there is a heightened level of data-sharing, transparency, and collaborative decision-making stakeholders. 39 This is a crucial aspect for ensuring that Industry 4.0 reaches its full potential and drives meaningful change in the business landscape. To provide a comprehensive and systematic guideline for the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies in the digitalization of the supply chain and logistics processes, Garay-Rondero et al 35 conducted a review of 137 research works from 1989 to 2019.…”

The integration of e‐commerce into supply chain management (SCM) and logistics operations has greatly impacted the way these processes are executed. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has disrupted traditional SCM and logistics business processes, making digitalization a crucial element for differentiation and competitiveness. The objective of this article was to investigate how the adoption of appropriate digital technologies could accelerate intra‐African trade in goods and services through the AfCFTA Agreement. The author employed a content analysis of the primary source documents, specifically the Protocol on Trade in Goods, available on the AfCFTA's website. The nine Annexes of the Protocol on Trade in Goods were evaluated against a digital supply chain (DSC) model adopted in this article. The results of the analysis showed that the supply chain and logistics processes of the AfCFTA's Protocol on Trade in Goods could be effectively identified and mapped to potential digital technologies through the adopted DSC framework. The practical implications of this study suggest that the AfCFTA could adopt a DSC framework as a guide in concluding negotiations on the Protocol on Digital Trade to harness the benefits of digital technologies. As the main contribution, this article provides a DSC framework that could be utilized to accelerate intra‐African trade through optimization of supply chain and logistics processes of the AfCFTA.

The study investigates the impact of buyer–supplier partnerships on the performance of the circular economy (CE) in the food supply chain (FSC). Then, it also examines the effect of commitment contracts and innovation on the performance of the FSC. The research model is developed using behavioural economics concepts and collaborative theory. Furthermore, five research hypotheses are tested using samples from food manufacturers and other related supply chain partners. Covariance‐based structural equation modelling technique is used in this study, and necessary tests were done to ensure the high quality of findings. Buyer–supplier partnerships demonstrate both direct and indirect effects on the CE performance in FSC. The findings supported the serial mediation effect wherein buyer–supplier partnerships are found to exert their impact on the CE in FSC through commitment contracts and innovation performance in a successive way. The uniqueness of this study lies in the use of behavioural economics concepts to enhance CE performance. The study advances knowledge of commitment contracts by indicating whether and how it connects to CE performance results.
