Abstract [en]

The digitalisation trend is affecting the manufacturing industry byadopting several emerging technologies that can increase the efficiencyand output of production processes and operations. A growingbody of literature shows that this trend demands a structuralrethink of how companies do business. However, there is a lack ofholistic contributions describing how aspects of manufacturing digitalisationalign with the Business Model Innovation process. Thisstudy uses a bibliometric mapping approach to analyse the literatureon manufacturing digital transformation through the IntegratedBusiness Model (IBM) lens. The results identify the major researchtopics discussed in the analysed domain and propose an enrichedIBM framework with specific descriptions and connections amongthe components and their relative strengths. Holistically, the resultingenhanced model may ultimately assist practitioners in understandingthe innovation process of the BM triggered bytechnological shifts in their manufacturing, enabling an alignmentof the manufacturing strategy with IBM’s components.

Abstract [en]

Digital transformation (DT) is ushering in significant technological advancements that are set torevolutionize the manufacturing industry. As the impact of DT extends beyond enhancing operationalperformance, its correct application necessitates a comprehensive re-evaluation of long-termstrategic business models (BMs). In detail, DT prompts a profound overhaul of how value is created,delivered, and captured within firms, necessitating a process known as business model innovation(BMI). This shift moves beyond incremental improvements traditionally favored in manufacturing,where existing technologies are simply improved or optimized. Instead, today's industry demandsmore radical and structural changes driven by rapid technological progress, shorter product lifecycles,and increasing environmental concerns. These changes require manufacturing innovations that notonly adapt but also transform production systems to ensure competitiveness and sustainability: i.e.,production research must focus not only on technology, but also, and especially on its application.Traditionally, technical literature and innovation-related literature have developed in separate silos,focusing on technical solutions and their market strategies independently. This division is furtherworsened by a lack of proper utilization of the business model (BM) concept, which impedes effectiveintegration between these two critical areas. Recent academic efforts have begun to integrate BMconsiderations into descriptions of the Manufacturing DT process (MDT). However, these discussionsoften focus narrowly on value-capturing mechanisms, such as pay-per-use, subscription, andownership models. A more holistic understanding of the BM, which encompasses all elements of afirm’s strategy and operations, remains relatively underexplored. Addressing this challenge,manufacturing researchers need a framework that allows them to understand and incorporate aholistic business model (BM) approach into their analyses. This is crucial for capturing the fullspectrum of strategic and operational elements of innovation.This dissertation aims to bridge this gap by adopting a broader BM perspective in line with innovationand operational management studies. Through a descriptive analysis of BM components and theirinteractions within the context of DT, this research develops a blueprint that encapsulates how MDTaspects are integrated into the holistic BM and BMI processes. By examining the existing literatureand real-life DT projects in manufacturing companies, this study provides a comprehensiveframework that assists scholars and practitioners in aligning manufacturing strategies with theoverarching components of the BM, facilitating effective navigation through the complexities of BMItriggered by DT.

Abstract [sv]

Digital transformation (DT) inleder betydande tekniska framsteg som kommer att revolutioneratillverkningsindustrin. Eftersom effekten av DT sträcker sig utöver att förbättra operativ prestanda,kräver dess korrekta tillämpning en omfattande omvärdering av långsiktiga strategiskaaffärsmodeller (BM). I detalj ger DT en grundlig översyn av hur värde skapas, levereras och fångasinom företag, vilket kräver en process som kallas affärsmodellinnovation (BMI). Denna förändringgår bortom inkrementella förbättringar som traditionellt gynnas inom tillverkning, där befintligteknik helt enkelt förbättras eller optimeras. Istället kräver dagens industri mer radikala ochstrukturella förändringar drivna av snabba tekniska framsteg, kortare produktlivscykler och ökandemiljöhänsyn. Dessa förändringar tvingar fram tillverkningsinnovationer som inte bara anpassar utanockså omvandlar produktionssystem för att säkerställa konkurrenskraft och hållbarhet: d.v.s.produktionsforskning måste fokusera inte bara på teknik, utan också, och särskilt på desstillämpning.Traditionellt har teknisk litteratur och innovationsrelaterad litteratur utvecklats i separata silos, medfokus på tekniska lösningar och deras marknadsstrategier oberoende av varandra. Denna uppdelningförvärras ytterligare av en brist på korrekt utnyttjande av affärsmodellkonceptet (BM), vilket hindrareffektiv integration mellan dessa två kritiska områden. Den senaste tidens akademiskaansträngningar har börjat integrera BM-överväganden i beskrivningar av Manufacturing DTprocessen(MDT). Dessa diskussioner fokuserar dock ofta snävt på värdefångande mekanismer,såsom modeller för betalning per användning, prenumeration och ägande. En mer holistisk förståelseav BM, som omfattar alla delar av ett företags strategi och verksamhet, är fortfarande relativtunderutforskad. För att möta denna utmaning behöver tillverkande forskare ett ramverk som gör attde kan förstå och införliva en holistisk affärsmodell (BM) i sina analyser. Detta är avgörande för attfånga hela spektrumet av strategiska och operativa inslag av innovation.Denna avhandling syftar till att överbrygga denna klyfta genom att anta ett bredare BM-perspektiv ilinje med innovations- och verksamhetsledningsstudier. Genom en beskrivande analys av BMkomponenteroch deras interaktioner inom ramen för DT, utvecklar denna forskning en ritning somkapslar in hur MDT-aspekter integreras i de holistiska BM- och BMI-processerna. Genom attundersöka befintlig litteratur och verkliga DT-projekt i tillverkningsföretag ger denna studie ettomfattande ramverk som hjälper forskare och praktiker att anpassa tillverkningsstrategier med deövergripande komponenterna i BM, vilket underlättar effektiv navigering genom komplexiteten i BMIsom utlöses av DT.
