Abstract

This chapter proceeds to the thematic analyses of the 25 tendencies, with the objective of identifying the key building blocks of the emerging production system in digital spaces. Such a characterization is necessary to the design of future scenarios of the digital enterprise and its related ecosystems. It then identifies the key building blocks for the new production system that underline the digital transformation of firms and organizations. Five building blocks are identified for the new production system: the multiplicity of value creation spaces, the acceleration of links, the contraction of space and time in the coordination of activities and the preeminence of society vis-à-vis the organization. These five building blocks will be presented and argumented in an articulated way.
