A digital ecosystem for extended logistics enterprises
Abstract
The connectivity and information richness arising from the advent of the web has contributed to an increasingly dynamic business environment and marketplace, forcing a change in traditional business thinking from a static, closed and competitive business model to open, flexible and collaborative conceptualisation. It is this radical shift in business thinking and implementation that has created a need for new business paradigms and new organisational forms. This paper presents a new business paradigm known as Digital Ecosystems, its concept, underlying issues and its application to Extended Logistics Enterprises. We provide a novel Digital Ecosystem approach to the logistics industry and create a digital service framework which will foster logistics partnerships and collaborative supply-chains.
