The Role of Digital Technology Platforms in the Context of Changes in Consumption and Production Patterns

Abstract

The article focuses on issues relating to achieving sustainable development by promoting new consumption and production patterns based, for example, on sharing resources and doing business exclusively in a digital environment. This topic is extremely important because sustainable development is a fundamental concept aimed at improving the functioning of the present and future generations. The main focus of the article is to show the role played by digital technology platforms within this concept, including in relation to consumption and production patterns. The article is based on two research methods—CATI (i.e., computer-aided telephone interviews) and regression analysis for CATREG quality variables. It has been established that digital technology platforms significantly influence the creation and development of modern business models and increase the quality and intensity of relations between various company stakeholders, which is the basis for promoting new consumption and production patterns—including those based on the sharing economy, subscription to various products and services or the functioning of virtual markets, enabling purchase and sale transactions.

Sharing Economies’ Initiatives in Municipal Authorities’ Perspective: Research Evidence from Poland in the Context of Smart Cities’ Development

“…The lack of trust resulting in a general reluctance to anything new is partly due to the relatively short, only 30-year-old free market traditions and the lack of legal and institutional regulations for the principles of functioning of the SE in the national and municipal economy. The latter reason is also characteristic of other regions of the world in which the SE develops, which was emphasized in the literature studies cited at the beginning [22][23][24][25]141].…”

“…For these reasons, development of the SE seems to be the most intense in well-developed or dynamically developing economies. Less developed or economically backward economies unarguably have less evidence, fewer descriptions and poorer research confirming its wide use [22][23][24][25].…”

Information accessibility, accounting manipulation, and sustainable development of digital enterprises: Based on double moderating effect model and panel PSM-DID method

“…The impact of the IA in the AM's effect on the sustainable development of PP is shown as follows: First, the IA is conducive to the sustainable development of digital enterprises directly. As a new production factor, digital technology modifies the coefficient of technology in the PLOS ONE production function model [27], and the capital-labor substitution rate is likely being increased [28]. The substitution function of information technologies affects the IA's impact on the sustainable development of enterprises significantly.…”
