| Abstract |
Sustainability and digitalization are fast growing sub-topics in the domain of manufacturing research and they will both be main forces shaping the future production systems. An overview of the related literature reveals two big bodies of knowledge being created in these fields, but also a little intersection among them. The reason lies in the fact that while digitalization is a trend aimed mainly at technological advancement, sustainability requires a long term commitment to reshape the whole approach to business of a manufacturing firm. However, there is a growing indication in literature that digitalization can be a powerful tool in the necessary road towards sustainable manufacturing. This work analyses the related scientific contribution through the lens of the concept of Business Model (BM) and Business Model Innovation (BMI) as understood by leading economic literature. The result is a characterisation, and when possible a description of the ways digitalization can support manufacturing firms in the adoption of sustainable business models. (C) 2019 The Authors.
