“…Open innovation then plays a decisive role in the promotion of stakeholders' involvement in order to achieve sustainable growth for e-marketplaces and avoid the collapse of the ecosystems of these platforms [16,34,144] because the interaction with stakeholders influences the sustainability impact, and the degree of integration of different stakeholders will help minimize negative social and ecological repercussions [105]. Therefore, e-marketplace platforms must understand the users' motives for engagement [104], and must encourage collaboration between stakeholders to access expertise, solve complex problems, and gain social legitimacy [16,88].…”

“…Similarly, the business models of e-marketplaces must promote financial benefits and trust in other users in order to reduce the perceived risk and increase purchase intention [146], and ecological sustainability in order to promote the use of electronic platforms [104]. Consequently, Amazon has developed a disruptive business model by introducing new innovative fashion models such as Prime Wardrobe, AI Algo, Fashion designer, Echo Look, AR Mirror, Personal Shopper, Style Snap, and The Drop [144].…”

In recent years, the rise of e-commerce has prompted the emergence of electronic marketplaces, or e-marketplaces, which act as intermediaries in the buying and selling process, bringing together several vendors to offer a wide range of products and services to customers, generating modalities such as business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C) or consumer-to-consumer (C2C) e-marketplaces. E-marketplaces offer advantages such as access to potential buyers, business and product visibility, the reduction of transaction costs, the comparison of offers and prices among competitors, and the ease of business internationalization. However, the success of e-marketplace business models depends on the sustainability of these platforms, which must involve different stakeholders in order to meet economic, environmental, and social objectives. Therefore, this study presents a bibliometric analysis and systematic review of e-marketplaces, open innovation, and sustainability for the last ten, five, and two years. The analysis includes the number, types, and subject areas of documents published each year, as well as considerations such as the most-cited publications and the leading authors, journals, countries, and institutional affiliations. The analysis also includes a study of the relevant concepts in the publications and their relationships, identifying the predominant topics related to e-marketplaces, open innovation, and sustainability. The results indicate a focus on subject areas such as social sciences, environmental sciences, energy, business, management, and accounting, which is consistent with the economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainability. The findings show that e-marketplaces, open innovation, and sustainability are closely related to concepts such as sustainable development, e-commerce, digital marketing, China (the leading country in terms of publications in all periods), logistics, supply chain management, big data, planning, and decision making. Future works should address traffic congestion and environmental impact, new delivery practices in last-mile logistics, and the motives for users’ engagement in e-marketplaces. Likewise, future research can be oriented toward sustainability dimensions and stakeholders’ integration through open innovation and toward the limitations of SMEs in order to access and benefit from digital platforms.

This study aims to analyze the interconnection between the concepts of digital economy and sustainability. These concepts have become popular due to awareness of climate change and the increased development and adoption of technologies. Researchers, business leaders and policymakers are exploring the many ways digital technologies can be used to address sustainability issues. Using a systematic literature review with a bibliometric analysis, we examined a sample of 92 studies indexed in SCOPUS to identify research activity on this topic up until April 2023. We found that 2022 had the highest number of peer-reviewed articles, with 31 publications. During the research, we identified multiple opportunities for this interconnection, such as developing renewable energies and sustainable technological solutions, smart cities and sustainable urbanization, and sustainable consumption. These opportunities enabled by digital technologies allow companies to adopt sustainable business strategies and develop sustainable products. Despite these opportunities, the digital economy presents several challenges that can hinder efforts to achieve sustainability goals, such as increasing e-waste, high energy consumption and rising carbon emissions, the digital divide, job insecurity, growing monopolies, and data protection. These issues must be addressed to enable the optimal use of the opportunities presented in the digital economy to promote sustainability.

“…Digitalization has pervaded the entire economy and digital transformation is essential for all actors to preserve their competitiveness (Mergel et al 2019). Thus, a number of industries are applying emerging technologies that create completely new ways of meeting existing needs and reshape traditional market supply chains (Schwab 2016;Watanabe et al 2021). For example, data created by consumers is the main source of economic value formation, which is verified by the success of the five largest companies by stock value: Google, Apple, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft (Lammi -Pantzar 2019).…”

The 21st century is characterized by digital transformation, which affects economic processes and social life, and results in the parallel existence of life in both online and offline spheres. Thus, the concept of citizenship should no longer be restricted to its traditional understanding, but expanded to digital citizenship as well, and it should be adapted to the challenges of the 21st century. Thus, we need to analyze responsible digital citizenship, and our research is aimed at the question of how to assess this. As a pilot, we conducted a survey among university students to understand the focal points in this field. Our results confirm that most students can be considered responsible digital citizens, and can also be classified according to various aspects of responsible digital citizenship.
