Their impact extends beyond merely reflecting societal changes; they actively shape and construct social norms and market dynamics at both individual (micro) and systemic (macro) levels. This […]
In this study, we employ topic modeling to systematically explore the platform ecosystem literature and identify emerging trends and potential avenues for future research. By leveraging computational techniques, we uncover hidden thematic structures and patterns in text data, providing valuable insights into the current state of research and pointing towards promising directions for future investigation. […]
This paper contributes to the academic literature on the platform society in two ways: Theoretically, we bridge the literature on the platform society with the literature on sensemaking. In particular, we take a processual approach to platform resilience as the outcome of sensemaking processes. Empirically we look at the process whereby platforms generate self-sustained users’ […]
The main purpose of this work is to systematically reconstruct the context of industrial symbiosis initiatives with relation to the networks of actors, the roles they play, the factors that determined the initiative, the obstacles that hinder (or have hindered) their implementation, the expected and/or achieved benefits, and the development prospects through the presentation of […]
Nowadays, the development of data management technologies has deeply contributed to make immediate and effective the activity of gathering and processing large amounts of data with reference to specific process or performance indicators. The Big Data phenomenon along with Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques represent a new era in information exploration and utilization, by offering new […]
