Theoretical approaches to the research of digital ecosystems economy
The article summarizes theoretical approaches to the study of digital of digital ecosystems economy as a network form of organization of economic activity, which involves cooperation of economic entities for innovative activity in socio-economic and technological aspects. It is concluded that the study of the essential nature of the «digital ecosystem» concept should be carried out with the observance of systemic, evolutionary, institutional and network approaches. It is argued that the «ecosystem of the digital economy» is a special form organization of economic activity, the development of which occurs under the influence of digital technologies that form patterns of economic processes, technological infrastructure and institutional environment. It is emphasized that business ecosystems, entrepreneurial ecosystems and innovation ecosystems are a characteristic form of socio-economic relations, and the platform ecosystem should also be considered in the technological aspect.
The properties of ecosystems are systematized,
and the ecosystem of the digital economy is considered as a network organization of economic activity, which involves cooperation between firms and other economic entities for the purpose of implementing innovative activity. It is found that there are a large number of variations of ecosystems of the socio-economic environment, but the most justified are the entrepreneurial ecosystem, platform ecosystem, business ecosystem, financial ecosystem.
It is concluded that the ecosystem is essentially a network form of organization of economic activity, which unites agents/entities of different types in a single environment, which, within the framework of joint activities at the mesolevel, demonstrate organizational cooperative economic behavior. The components of the digital agricultural ecosystem are substantiated as a socio-economic and techno- logical system of interdependent economic entities of the agricultural sector that interact through digital platforms for joint value creation based on adherence to cooperative economic behavior and institutional agreements, as a result of which new utility is created.
Keywords: digital economy, digital ecosystem, digital agricultural ecosystem, digital platform eco- systems, ecosystem theory of evolution.
