Four articles on “DIGITALISM” that pinpoint the core
development in technology but miss the real substance of the new world of
ecumenic economies and politics:
Digitalism is a mode of
production and consumption; not a "new era," "fourth
industrial revolution," different "institutional logic,"
"digitalization of economies," or "phase of capitalism." It
is a novel mode, just like feudalism, which was killed by capitalism starting
500 years ago. After 500 years, now, digitalism is killing capitalism.

“The Fourth
Industrial Revolution takes the automation used today to a higher level and
uses technology to perform the tasks done by humans. Thus, the undeniable
presence of technology is seen in every field, from biology to production, from
logistics to education. The Fourth
Industrial Revolution is different. First of all, people can constantly
produce new information. People can realize the connection with each other
without any limitation due to internet and mobile devices, which has required
processing, storage, and image capacities because of technological advances by
the fourth industrial revolution. At the same time, thanks to the developing
technology, the relationship between the form of production and the elements of
its processes have also been changing (Sun, 2018). Third and last, the Fourth Industrial Revolution [Digitalism]
will give rise to a new economy form, the “sharing economy.” As a result,
new technologies are being heard of globally, such as intelligent machines, the
Internet of Things, and Neuralink, which aims to implant wireless computer
chips into the brain to cure neurological diseases. … countries’ economies are moving towards technology
and automation, too. However, with the digitalization that came with industry
4.0, humanity will face an unprecedented revolution in the era of computers,
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robots, and radical changes will occur in
every field. Labour and occupations are among the elements that this change
will transform.”

digitalism on the economic growth and foreign trade of creative, Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) and high-tech products in OECD countries”,
Istanbul, 2023
“Digitalism refers to the increasing use and
integration of digital technologies in many areas of the economy, and ICT has
had a profound impact on economic growth and foreign trade in the creative and
high-tech industries. With the emergence and rise of digital technologies, new
sectors such as ecommerce, digital media and social networking, which create
new job opportunities and drive economic growth, have led to the creation of
new business opportunities and sectors. The development of these industries
has also led to the creation of new jobs and increased demand for highly
skilled workers, further spurring economic growth. In addition to all this,
digitalism has facilitated the internationalization of ICT, creative, and
high-tech industries, thanks to the increasing use of digitalism, it has become
easier for companies to collaborate by communicating with partners and
customers from around the world. In this way, businesses have been able to
expand their operations globally, and foreign trade and economic growth have
increased thanks to their entry into new markets. Digitalism
has also had a significant impact on the nature of commerce in the ICT,
creative and high-tech industries. The development of digital technologies has
made the cross-border trade and exchange of digital goods and services easier
and cheaper, resulting in growth in the digital economy. In this way,
businesses were able to sell their products and services globally without
needing to be physically present in each different market, thus creating new
opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate in
international trade. As a result, the impact of digitalism on the economic
growth and foreign trade of ICT, creative, and high-tech industries has been
quite significant. Digitalism has created new business opportunities and
industries, facilitated the internationalization of businesses, and transformed
the nature of business in these industries. There are four skills which will
be needed in the workplace of the future. These fastest-growing, highest-demand
emerging skill sets are: • Artificial intelligence (AI)/machine learning (ML).
• Cloud computing. • Product management. • Social media (WEF 2023a).”

effect of digitalism on supply chain flexibility of food industry in Jordan." Amman, 2022
“The
importance of digitalism is to keep pace with the development of global
technology that has changed the ways of thinking and behavior of beneficiaries
and consumers. The digital transformation also accelerates the daily way of
work so that technology is exploited at work to be faster and better, which
reduces work effort and saves time to think about development and innovation.
Digital transformation has become the ultimate way in which organizations work.
Digitalism refers to "the change in people’s communication and behavior in
society as a result of the widespread use of digital technologies" (Gimpel
and Roglinger et al. 2015). Digitalism creates opportunities for organizations
and supply chain practices. Many organizations have started digital
transformation because they have noticed the importance and value of digital
technologies to help them M. A. Khalayleh et al./Uncertain Supply Chain
Management 10 (2022) 1551 in their business performance and development, and
organizations have also increased their administrative support for such
technologies (Bughin et al. 2015).

Bendik Bygstad, “The
Institutional Logic of Digitalism”, Oslo,
2021
“The concept
of institutional logic has proven to be fruitful for understanding
institutional change and in IS research. An important assumption in the
understanding of institutional logic is that interests, values, professional
norms and identities are embedded in the competing institutional logics within
an organisation. Decision behaviours result from how these interests, norms and
identities are enabled or constrained by these institutional logics. The
starting point of our study was the observation of unwanted inertia after
implementing large scale ICT (Information communication technology) systems in
hospitals. How are large scale ICT systems related to organizational
development and management? In this article, we show how ICT in organisations
could be seen as an institutional logic in itself. We suggest digitalism as a term for a new institutional logic, as opposed to other, more well-known logics
in organizations, such as managerialism and professionalism. Applying an
institutional logic way of understanding ICT allows us to unfold a pattern and
to explain the impact of change and stability that ICT has on organisations. To
develop our argument, we combine organisational change research and
institutional theory with information system research on enterprise
architecture, and large-scale ICT systems. The institutional perspective
unfolds the institutional features of large-scale ICT and contributes to the
explanation of strategies, which encompass organisational change and development,
in a dialectic manner of both deterministic and voluntaristic perspective.
Digitalism represents
a new way of understanding organisational development and adaptation and it
challenges the mainstream understanding of organisational behaviour as well as
the established IS literature. Our research aim is to analyse the implementation of
ICT systems in healthcare organisations according to this theoretical
framework. In the last part of the article, we give a discussion of the impact
of different blends of institutional logics and why it is useful to understand
ICT as an institutional logic in itself. The practical result of ignoring
digitalism and instead only seeing ICT as a tool is unwanted inertia and
organisational dysfunctionalities. We illustrate our arguments with examples
from a case of ICT implementation at a large Norwegian hospital where
digitalism was not acknowledged.
Digitalism represents
a new set of regulations, values, integrations and perspectives on the
co-ordination of organisations. Introducing large-scale systems, such as DIPS, brings
digitalism into healthcare organisations. Does digitalism apply outside the
healthcare field and in smaller organisations? We believe that the answer is
yes, but this should be investigated by further research.”
