The place of the SME in the ICT & eBusiness developments
Brussels, June-1.-2006 Francesco Nachira - European Commission # 2 of 29
Knowledge-base economy: migrating towards digital economies mediated by ICT
More interrelationsMore knowledgeMore innovationMore specialised resources
Small companies have limited specialised resources and difficultiesTo access to global value chainsTo access to knowledgeTo access to specific services (e.g. legal)To adopt new technologies (ICT)To adopt new business models
Threshold and Digital Divides (geogr..; SMEs vs. LEs)
SMEs :a weakness or a potential for Europe ?
SMEs
But the only hope for a SMEs is to become BIG?

Peculiaritiesof EU economical structure
• Cultural diversity (model of business, approaches,practices, …)
• Dimensions of enterprises (SMEs vs. LE)• Historical presence of clusters with diffused tacit
unstructured knowledge, skills and infrastructureHow to turn peculiarities and diversity into
competitive advantagesHow to foster
innovation, creativity and autonomy of SMEs ?Which policies, which paradigms ?Which infrastructures ?

The Business EcosystemCreate a climate conductive to investments, innovation andenterpreneurship:the conditions for
– Attracting biz and entr. direct investments– Attracting enterprises– Attracting skilled and qualified workforce

Brussels, June-1.-2006 Francesco Nachira - European Commission # 6 of 29
Which Paradigms forInnovation Ecosystems ?
To create favourable environmentEngineers: “problem solving” approach: isolate problem, identify variables, make a plan …Economy as machine
ComplexityEcosystemic approach: economy as machine -> economy as ecosystems (garden)
Processes: Interpretation - Partecipation - Collaboration - Harmonis. of interests
Plurality and richness of: economic actors, subjects, ideas and interaction, aggregation

Which ICT technology for innovation ecosystems ?“… the actual slowly changing network of
organizations will be replaced by more fluid,amorphous and often transitory structures based inalliances, partnership and collaborations”...
“…building a community that share business,knowledge and infrastructure, develop creativity”
“The support to SMEs and innovation requiresa further stage in ITC technology adoptions andan infrastructure which exploitsthe dynamic interaction (cooperation and competition)of several players in order to produce systemic results; innovation and economic development.”
“Towards a Network of digital business ecosystems fostering the localdevelopment ” (EC, Discussion paper, 2002)But one business model fits all ?
But one infrastructure fits all ?

What is a Digital Ecosystem ?
•THE DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM•is a pervasive “digital environment”•that supports the business ecosystems•that is populated by “digital components”•that evolves / adapts to local conditions with the evolution of its components
THE “SOFT” SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE,WHICH MEDIATES
SERVICES & INFORMATION (knowledge)EMPOWERING THE NETWORKING
AND THEIR SHARING
architecture / structure
Brussels, June-1.-2006 Francesco Nachira - European Commission # 12 of 29
What is a Digital Component ?
•DIGITAL COMPONENTS•could be: software components, applications, services, knowledge,business processes and models, training modules,contractual frameworks, laws ....... and hopefully a mixture of all these
formalised knowledge
ANY USEFUL IDEA,EXPRESSED IN A LANGUAGE
(formal or natural),DIGITALISED AND LAUNCHED
ON THE NET,WHICH CAN BE PROCESSED
(by computers and/or humans)
Repres. of service:•biz model•rev. model•comp. model•ref. to Ontology

The innovation ecosystem
Digital ecosystem: an o-s, public, distributed, pervasive environm.- transport, identification, match (services, knowledge)- spontaneous evolution, adaptation and composition of services, digital content and sw components- embedding knowledge, biz rules, revenue models, ontology...
