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 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).”

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).

[4] Lars Erik Kjekshus and 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.”
