Über dieses Buch

Filling a gap in the current literature, this book addresses the social approach to the design and use of innovative business models in the digital economy. It focuses on three areas that are of increasing importance to businesses and industry today: social issues and sustainability; digitization; and new economic business models, specifically the sharing and circular economies. The authors aim to solve current scientific concerns around the conceptualization and operationalization of social business models, addressing management intentions and the impact of these models on society. Based on observation of social phenomena and the authors' research and practical experience, the book highlights best practices for designing and assessing social business models.

1. Social Issues and Sustainability in Contemporary Business
Abstract
The current economy has recently changed dramatically. These changes were triggered by many factors related, among others, to the growing importance of social aspects in running a business as well as its total digitalization. These factors, supported by the new dimensions of the economy, such as the sharing economy, the circular economy and Big Data, have created a new approach to modern business management. This chapter multidimensionally presents the place and role of social factors in building company business models. Attention is paid to sustainability elements in the context of the digital economy. Reference was made to the concept of business models and their design, taking into account social factors. Importantly, assumptions for defining the strategic components of business models resulting from social aspects were also determined. Attention was also paid to the potential of the digital economy in relation to the construction of modern business models focused on social factors. Furthermore, various approaches to social factors in business models of the digital economy were reviewed.

3. New Economy Business Models in the Concepts of Big DataBIG DATA, the Sharing Economysharing economy and the Circular Economy
Abstract
In the current economy, the ontological entity necessary for a market victory is the effective and efficient company business model. This model should be particularly capable of dynamic monetization. The logic of generating income from the business model must be preceded by embedding it in a given economic perspective. This determines the appropriate monetization mechanism resulting from this perspective. This chapter describes, among other things, the perspective of using the Big Data concept in the conceptualization and operationalization of business models. The assumptions for the use of the sharing economy in business models have been defined together with the reference, in the scientific discussion, to social factors that materialize them. Attention has been paid to the aspects of learning in building community networks which create digital business models. The mechanisms of using circular business models have been described and assumptions for the construction of robust business models in the circular economy have been determined.

7. Hybridization as a New Way of Building Social Business Modelssocial business models
Abstract
Running a business today is very demanding and results from the complexity of business systems. This complexity causes managers to look for sophisticated and multi-variant management concepts or combinations thereof. In this approach, the concept of hybridization becomes important, and indeed is becoming a new way to build social business models. This is not enough to become a source for building hybrid business models. In this approach, strong community pressure on intelligent public services can be a platform. This chapter describes factors which affect the construction of hybrid business models in public services. The assumptions for the hybrid approach in many dimensions of strategic management were defined. Finally, hybrid business models were conceptualized and operationalized and the principles of using innovations in business models were presented.
