面对工业 4.0 （如机器人、物联网、3D 打印、大数据分析和人工智能）驱动下的平台经济，商业企业领导者和利益相关者们要如何应对由科技带来的的全新挑战，如何在全新商业、工作和社会游戏规则中游刃有余？

在过去几年中，生态系统、企业数字化和共享经济这些议题受到了越来越多的关注，但战略管理研究领域却鲜少被提及，以至于该领域的概念和经验贡献仍处于起步阶段。

为了激发学者们对数字战略、人工智能和平台经济领域最新研究成果及实践转化中不同洞见间的辩论，本期特刊应运而生。我们寻找能够帮助商业企业适应数字经济生态系统、实现可持续竞争优势的理论、方法。此外，我们也希望接收到能引领未来领导者们应对数字经济挑战积极的、有建设性的讨论。
