The digital wave of change had an unprecedented effect on the competitiveness of the global value chain, whereby the process industries are not an exception. Although they are often regarded as laggards in the general progress towards adopting digital technologies, the pressure to cut costs and to review existing business models have prompted the industry forerunners within the process industries to reassess their business operations. One way to tackle this issue is to source information from the emerging startup landscape. To shed light on the importance of digitalization within the process industries, this paper provides a novel perspective using startup information. Therefore, it examines the interaction dynamics between the process industries and other industries. By centering on emerging interactions with information technology (IT)-related industries, this study further focuses on identifying the different digitalization efforts of the process industries and explores their varying degree of digital affinity. Our results indicate that not all process industries can be regarded as laggards in terms of incorporating digital capabilities. “Biotechnology”, “Pharmaceutical”, “Food and Beverage”, “Energy” and “Oil and Gas” demonstrated a higher IT-affinity, thus presenting themselves as digital leaders within the process industries. Judging from the IT-interaction preference, each segment of the process industries has adopted a unique pathway towards unlocking digital transformation opportunities.

领导者和落后者-走向过程工业的数字化

数字化变革浪潮对全球价值链的竞争力产生了前所未有的影响,因此,加工业也不例外。尽管它们在采用数字技术的总体进展中通常被视为落后者,但削减成本和审查现有业务模型的压力促使加工行业内的行业先行者重新评估其业务运营。解决此问题的一种方法是从新兴的初创企业中获取信息。为了阐明过程工业中数字化的重要性,本文提供了使用启动信息的新颖视角。因此,它研究了过程工业与其他工业之间的交互动力学。通过围绕与信息技术(IT)相关行业的新兴交互作用,本研究进一步关注于识别过程工业的不同数字化工作,并探索它们在数字亲和力方面的不同程度。我们的结果表明,就合并数字功能而言,并非所有过程工业都可以被视为落后者。“生物技术”,“制药”,“食品和饮料”,“能源”和“石油和天然气”显示出更高的IT亲和力,因此在过程工业中成为数字化领导者。从IT交互的偏好来看,流程工业的每个细分市场都采用了独特的途径来释放数字化转型机会。这项研究进一步侧重于识别过程工业的不同数字化工作,并探索它们在数字亲和力方面的不同程度。我们的结果表明,就合并数字功能而言,并非所有过程工业都可以被视为落后者。“生物技术”,“制药”,“食品和饮料”,“能源”和“石油和天然气”显示出更高的IT亲和力,因此在过程工业中成为数字化领导者。从IT交互的偏好来看,流程工业的每个细分市场都采用了独特的途径来释放数字化转型机会。这项研究进一步侧重于识别过程工业的不同数字化工作,并探索它们在数字亲和力方面的不同程度。我们的结果表明,就合并数字功能而言,并非所有过程工业都可以被视为落后者。“生物技术”,“制药”,“食品和饮料”,“能源”和“石油和天然气”显示出更高的IT亲和力,因此在过程工业中成为数字化领导者。从IT交互的偏好来看,流程工业的每个细分市场都采用了独特的途径来释放数字化转型机会。“药品”,“食品和饮料”,“能源”和“石油和天然气”显示出更高的IT亲和力,因此在过程工业中成为数字化领导者。从IT交互的偏好来看,流程工业的每个细分市场都采用了独特的途径来释放数字化转型机会。“药品”,“食品和饮料”,“能源”和“石油和天然气”显示出更高的IT亲和力,因此在过程工业中成为数字化领导者。从IT交互的偏好来看,流程工业的每个细分市场都采用了独特的途径来释放数字化转型机会。
