BUSINESS DIGITALIZATION: A VIEW FROM THE POSITION OF ECOSYSTEM, COMPETITIVENESS AND INTEGRATION DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURIAL STRUCTURES

Keywords: strategic goals of integrative development, platform integration, digitalization functional stack, competitiveness, ecosystem principles, functional agility

Abstract

In high-velocity markets, achieving development goals requires managerial flexibility and systematic coordination, which can be enabled by building a digital business ecosystem. The article’s objective is to develop the scientific and methodological foundations for constructing a business digital ecosystem in the context of competitiveness and the integrative development of entrepreneurial structures. The paper outlines the strategic goals for establishing a digital ecosystem to govern integrative development, namely: platform-based participant integration, a unified data and analytics core, a governed innovation pipeline, and cyber-resilience with continuity planning. It is emphasized that these goals are directly linked to firm competitiveness by enabling accurate demand/inventory planning, transparent order execution, and rapid adaptation to change. As a result, organizational flexibility and customer-centricity increase, market share and margins improve, unit costs decline, and disruption/regulatory risks are minimized through shared standards for security, access, and intellectual property rights. The study argues that creating an ecosystem-level digital functional stack to strengthen competitive positions requires adherence to a set of rules that ensure resilience and functional agility during integrated growth. The paper formulates such rules, highlighting: data-centricity and unified interoperability standards; a platform approach instead of ad-hoc integrations; transparent “decision gates” in the innovation portfolio; security, continuity, and recovery “by design”; network-level customer-centricity with a single omnichannel profile; coordinated inter-firm governance with defined decision timelines; and ESG and data/algorithm ethics as operating practices. Adherence to these rules turns fragmented digital initiatives into a platform functional layer that delivers system coherence, synergy, and sustained financial performance for the entire entrepreneurial structure throughout integrative development.
