Index of integral efficiency of the digital platform business ecosystem

The article considers a method for assessing the potential of a digital platform ecosystem of an industrial enterprise, which is a relevant area in the context of the digital transformation of the economy. The introduction of digital technologies changes the traditional principles of creating and consuming value, facilitating the transition to a multi-level modular architecture of business ecosystems. The main objective of the study is to develop a multi-criteria integration approach to assessing the effectiveness of digital business ecosystems, taking into account the basic key aspects of the digitalization potential. The article presents a methodology for calculating the Index of Integral Efficiency (IIE), which allows for quantitative measurement and comparison of the impact of digitalization on the business ecosystem, in terms of economic, operational, technical, social and market effects, which determines the necessity and sufficiency of such an assessment. The methodology is based on indicators characterizing key aspects of ecosystem interaction, including return on investment level of automation, participant involvement, competitive advantages, market share and others. The use of the analytical hierarchical process made it possible to objectively determine the weighting coefficients of each criterion, minimizing the subjective factor in the assessment. The methodological basis of the study includes system analysis, multi-criteria modeling and a bibliographic review. The paper presents a comparative analysis of existing approaches to the effectiveness of digital business ecosystems, identifies their limitations, and proposes a generalized methodology that provides a comprehensive assessment of the integration effects of digitalization. The results of the study suggest that the proposed IIE index has high predictive value, allowing one to assess the dynamics of digitalization of enterprises and their competitive positions in digital business ecosystems. The scientific novelty of the obtained result lies in the development of an index of the integral efficiency of a digital platform business ecosystem, which develops methods for assessing the feasibility of forming digital business ecosystems.
