Abstract

This research responds to the call on global convergence in the international business management domain. Global convergence requires new evolutionary, devolutionary and even revolutionary strategies that are framed in the context of digital transformation. The digital transformation phenomenon has led to different theoretical and managerial perspectives on disruptive technologies provoking the need for more studies on the integration of such technologies within SMEs ecosystem-based business models (EBBMs). In this vein, by adopting a micro-level lens, this research examines 718 managers from SMEs in Europe who have already embraced the digital transformation process and have bonded physical and digital ecosystems. The results are analysed through the application of logistic regression analysis.

A notable contribution of this study is the development of a new model which articulates the relationship between substantive capability, adaptation capability and change capability in the SME.

The study articulates how these work, support and facilitate disruptive technology integration in EBBM and suggests a method for their evaluation. As emerged the consideration that DCs are not replicable is supported and so it has been shown that technologies cannot replace human beings in their transformation business capabilities. This addresses the evolutionary change of global convergence generated by disruptive technologies that: 1. empower individual skills; 2. develops renewed strategies for enhancing network capabilities and; 3. allows the exploring and exploiting of opportunities from the influence of EBBM.

实现全球融合?在不断发展的中小企业商业模式中整合颠覆性技术:微观层面的视角

本研究响应了国际工商管理领域全球趋同的呼声。全球融合需要在数字化转型的背景下制定新的进化、进化甚至革命性的战略。数字化转型现象导致了对颠覆性技术的不同理论和管理观点，引发了对这些技术在中小企业基于生态系统的商业模式(ebbm)中的整合的更多研究的需要。在这种情况下，本研究采用微观层面的视角，调查了718名来自欧洲中小型企业的管理者，他们已经接受了数字化转型过程，并将物理和数字生态系统结合在一起。通过应用逻辑回归分析对结果进行分析。本研究的一个显著贡献是建立了一个新的模型，阐明了中小企业实质能力、适应能力和变革能力之间的关系。本研究阐明了这些因素如何在EBBM中发挥作用、支持和促进颠覆性技术整合，并提出了一种评估方法。由于数据中心不可复制的考虑得到了支持，因此已经表明技术在转换业务能力方面不能取代人类。这解决了由颠覆性技术产生的全球融合的进化变化:1。增强个人技能;2. 为加强网络能力制定新的战略;3.。允许从EBBM的影响中探索和利用机会。
