Conceptual model of a digital adaptive ecosystem for an industrial enterprise in Industry 4.0

Digitalization, robotics, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and cyber-physical systems are fundamentally changing production processes, value chains and business models. Today, the concept of digital transformation is widely proclaimed, guiding businesses not simply to implement technologies but to rethink their future development. However, the theoretical and methodological foundations lag behind practical demands: a conceptual model of a digital adaptive ecosystem for an industrial enterprise that would integrate new methods of organizing production, logistics and intercompany interactions into a unified, holistic and adaptive management system has yet to be developed. The relevance of this research lies in the search for new organizational and management forms capable of not simply implementing individual technologies but also ensuring holistic adaptation to technological change. This work is based on a comprehensive literature review and critical analysis of existing adaptive management paradigms. The author synthesizes various theoretical and methodological approaches, including systems-cybernetic, evolutionary-synergetic, organizational-managerial and complex adaptive systems theory. The objective of this study is to develop a conceptual model of a digital adaptive ecosystem for an industrial enterprise capable of ensuring its long-term competitiveness in the face of Industry 4.0 challenges. The following scientific results were obtained. The absence of a single, generally accepted definition of a «digital adaptive ecosystem for an enterprise» was established in scientific discourse. The author's definition of the concept of «digital adaptive ecosystem for an enterprise» in the context of digital transformation was introduced into scientific circulation. The structure and key elements of a digital adaptive ecosystem for an enterprise were described. A conceptual model of a digital adaptive ecosystem for an enterprise has been developed, and the main stages of its formation are described. The parameterization of management concepts based on the Cobb-Douglas production function has made it possible to develop a system of metrics for assessing the economic efficiency of the digital adaptive ecosystem for an enterprise. The implementation of a digital adaptive ecosystem based on management concepts makes it possible to formulate a unified digital transformation strategy to achieve a synergistic effect and ensure the competitiveness of industrial enterprises in the context of Industry 4.0.
