ER - TY - JOUR T1 - Kick-Start for Connectivity: How to Implement Digital Platforms Successfully in Industry 4.0 JF - Technology Innovation Management Review Y1 - 2019 A1 - Marie-Christin Schmidt A1 - Johannes W. Veile A1 - Julian M. Müller A1 - Kai-Ingo Voigt KW - Buyer-Supplier Relationships KW - collaboration KW - digital platforms KW - Digital Technologies. KW - IIoT KW - Industry 4.0 KW - Supplier Integration AB - Based on digitalization and interconnectedness, Industry 4.0 causes a structural change in the value creation processes, and thus reinforces the transformation of business processes and business models. One way for companies to cope with this development and its associated challenges is to apply digital platforms in the value creation process. As the potential of digital platforms for industrial value creation can only be leveraged to its full extent with adequate implementation, this paper addresses the research question: How are digital platforms best implemented in Industry 4.0 contexts; Using a qualitative case study design, based on 32 semi-structured expert interviews, the study identifies different triggers and initiators, challenges, and respective countermeasures, as thematic core elements of implementation, and requirements for platforms. The research insights contribute to existing literature on Industry 4.0 and digital platforms. In addition, the paper discusses practical implications for industrial companies.
