one of the common business models for the digital
economy. The main players in digital platforms are
consumers, manufacturers and business partners. On
these platforms, high-quality and effective
interaction has the greatest value for consumers and
manufacturers. The digital platform itself is
designed to maximize this value and reduce risks. In
practice, expectations come true in terms of the
threat of the emergence of new players and market
power of consumers in M. Porter’s model, which
can fail and cause devastating damage to the digital
platform.
Digital platforms, as they develop, form an
innovative ecosystem around them, which promotes
the platform and is responsible for its revenue side.
But in practice, it is not economically profitable
when development partners outgrow the
development company and “bypass” it, so it is
worth strengthening the quality of management. If
such a threat exists, then it is worth immediately
taking countermeasures, such as the buyback of a
block of shares in support of the developers.
Therefore, this situation testifies to how the first two
conditions are fulfilled in M. Porter’s model. In
terms of the level of competition as the fifth
component in this model, then through the prism of
the digital economy, it is dynamic and three-
dimensional. “This is due to the fact that the
following enter into competition: platforms among
themselves, trying to make the transition and
interaction more expensive; platform with partners,
in order to prevent them from growing the volume
of the platform; partners with each other for market
share, [10]”.
In the digital economy, one more feature can be
traced, namely, that competition allows you to
significantly increase profits and increase the share
of digital business. In the context of the
digitalization of the economy and the existing
hypercompetition, the proliferation of technological
progress, the establishment of the institution of
ownership of infrastructure and the uniqueness of
resources no longer provide adequate permanent
competitive advantages. However, for a platform
economy operating on the basis of digitalization,
there are such resources available and this is
valuable interaction and information. Therefore,
such unpredictability in the digital space suggests
that as a result of using M. Porter’s model for digital
business, the outcome can turn both positive and
negative.
The number of scientific researches and
publications devoted to this problem in the world is
growing explosively. Innovative countries are
currently developing key signs of the emergence of
the Industry 5.0. They are manifested in the
transformation of existing business processes under
the influence of new technologies and the formation
of smart assets, e-services for digital business and e-
government, the formation of Education 5.0 and
Society 5.0, launching a quality educational and
research process in University 5.0. It is digital
entrepreneurship in terms of virtual mobility
contributes to the rapid development of the concept
of the Industry 5.0 in terms of creating qualitatively
new business models, logistics, e-commerce, smart
manufacturing in gigonomics. This study is
performed in the interests of the national security of
Ukraine, as evidenced by the provisions of
paragraph 51 of the National Security Strategy of
Ukraine (Decree of the President of Ukraine from
14.09.2020 № 392) and paragraph 18 of the
Economic Security Strategy of Ukraine
(corresponding decree from 11.08.2021 №347):
“guaranteeing national economic independence and
the ability to protect national economic interests, in
particular in high-tech sphere”. The research
presented in the article is interdisciplinary, the
results of its implementation have every chance to
become relevant for related fields of science.

T. Stock and G. Seliger [45], E. Schaeffer, [41] are
associated with the study of the general aspects of
transformational changes and the comprehensive
modernization of the economy in the direction of its
innovative and digital development. In the course of
writing the article, it was the book by Eric
Schaeffer, a researcher, “Industry X.0: Realizing
Digital Value in Industrial Sectors”, [41], which
really attracted our scientific attention having
become a bestseller in the scientific world. In
addition, it clearly demonstrates the powerful
impact of the Industrial Internet of Things on
manufacturing and explains in detail how to realize
the possibilities of technology to increase
competitiveness, profits and further the development
of business digitization.
