Business Model Innovation and Sustainable Development in The Era of Digital Economy

Abstract

In the era of digital economy(DE), the interweaving of business model innovation and sustainable development has become a key factor in shaping the future of enterprises. Through in-depth discussion of business model changes in the DE era and analysis of its relationship with sustainable development, this paper aims to reveal how enterprises can achieve economic growth through innovative business models while practicing social and environmental responsibilities in the current rapidly evolving business environment. The rapid development of digital technology provides a broad space for business model innovation. The wide application of new digital technologies, such as big data analysis, artificial intelligence and blockchain, has prompted enterprises to stand out from the traditional production, sales and service models. Personalized customization, sharing economy and digital platformization have become the highlights of business model innovation, enabling enterprises to respond to market changes more flexibly and nimbly and enhance their competitiveness. However, the integration of business model innovation and sustainable development is becoming more and more urgent. In the era of DE, enterprises not only need to pursue economic benefits, but also seriously consider its impact on society and environment. Concepts such as sharing economy, circular economy and social responsibility projects have emerged. Enterprises strive to achieve sustainable utilization of resources, reduce carbon footprint, fulfill social responsibilities and achieve a win-win situation while innovating models.
