Resilience Index Development for Digital Ecosystems and Its Implementation: The Case of Russian Companies
Abstract
Study examines the problems of business ecosystems, whose effectiveness and sustainability are determined by the organization of cooperation of all its participants using digital tools. The purpose of the research is to develop an index of digital ecosystem sustainability that would reflect changes in the value of the company. The article defines the main characteristics of digital business ecosystems by adapting the taxonomy of digital ecosystems to the Russian market and measuring the sustainability of Russian companies as Yandex and VK Group by using the digital ecosystem sustainability index (DESIn) that was developed by the authors for determining the strategic position of companies in the market. The authors identified the main classification features of digital ecosystems and measured their stability using financial and non-financial indicators as part of the DESIn index. The results of the research and the developed index of digital ecosystem sustainability can be used by Russian companies for developing their strategies, analysing their competitive positions, and choosing the optimal directions for digital ecosystem development.
