\"An open and digital ecosystem refers to a dynamic and accessible network where diverse participants exchange and integrate technology, resources, and knowledge thereby fostering a collaborative value creation process that enhances value for customers.\"<\/span><\/em><\/h4>

Official definition translated from Gabler Economic Encyclopedia<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>

1. Basic principle:\u00a0<\/strong>In a business context, an open and digital ecosystem is based on the principles of\u00a0<\/span>open innovation<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and an\u00a0<\/span>open data<\/a><\/strong>. Such an ecosystem always operates in a digital space, making physical barriers irrelevant. Accordingly, it requires a digital representation of the physical world. The digital transformation, in particular the\u00a0<\/span>digitalization<\/a><\/strong>, is essential for the creation and maintenance of this system.<\/span><\/h4>

2. Functionality:<\/strong>\u00a0In an open and digital ecosystem, all participants pursue a common goal, whereby their actions are guided by a collective understanding of a shared value purpose, which revolves around a central value proposition. Coordination among participants is facilitated through a digital platform that provides the necessary infrastructure, standards, and interfaces for efficient collaboration.\u00a0<\/span>Value is generated through interaction with other participants in the ecosystem but also through exchanges with other ecosystems. These ecosystems are characterized by\u00a0<\/span>dynamic complexity<\/a><\/strong>, as they continuously evolve due to internal and external influences (interdependencies) and do not adhere to direct, linear cause-and-effect relationships.<\/span><\/h4>

3. Evolution:<\/strong>\u00a0When industries and technologies intersect and integrate, an open and digital ecosystem can act as a catalyst to optimize alignment with customer needs.\u00a0<\/span>Convergence<\/strong><\/a>, observed in scientific disciplines like mathematics and physics, as well as in technology, also manifests when products and services from various sectors merge into a unified offering. Open interfaces<\/span> (<\/span>openAPI's<\/a><\/strong>) play a crucial role in facilitating the flow of goods, information, and finances, enabling fragmented service provision by diverse\u00a0<\/span>entities<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0across different sectors.<\/span><\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
