Sustainable digital ecosystems: An ecological proposal for digital transformation
Keywords:
digital ecology, ; sustainable development, sustainability, digital transformationAbstract
A conceptual theoretical approach on digital transformation is made, emphasizing on the external factors, phases and strategic imperatives that determine it. The ecological approach is introduced, exposing the theoretical aspects of digital ecology and its impact on transformation. Its contribution to the analysis of the phenomenon in digital ecosystems is analyzed; defining its components, qualities and properties, to determine the attributes of value from the ecological perspective. Finally, the common principles that converge digital transformation and ecological transition are explored, in a bid to obtain evidence of the sustainability of digital ecosystems.
