Digital Platforms in Manufacturing: Past, Present and Future
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.54691/bcpbm.v23i.1482Keywords:
Manufacturing, Digital platform, Literature review, Business modelsAbstract
In this paper, we conducted a literature review of manufacturing and digital platform, examining 92 articles published between 1997 and 2022. In our study of the literature, we used the software HistCite and VOSviewer to conduct a quantitative analysis of bibliometric analysis. The results of our research show that there are 3 research fields: (i) platform-based new product development (ii) digital platform-based value co-creation (iii) digital platform-based business models. This paper compiled a list of the most prominent aspects in the manufacturing and digital platform literature, including leading countries, institutes, journals, authors, and articles. Finally, based on our analysis of the literature on manufacturing digital platforms, this paper summarized challenges and opportunities in these research fields.
