Grocery retailing is facing many challenges and digital transformation in the current market-driven space competition. Grocery retailing renews itself based on Industry 4.0 technologies (typically related to manufacturing) and network economies, under a value co-creation perspective. The major trends of technology adoption in grocery retailing are identified and compared them with the main categorizations of the Industry 4.0. Then, a framework to match network aggregation levels and Industry 4.0 technologies is proposed, to highlight the main technological drivers for future grocery retailing value co-creation. New networks, network economies, platforms and ecosystems derive, and new issues for management emerge.

Abstract
Grocery retailing is facing many challenges and digital transformation in the current market-driven space competition. Grocery retailing renews itself based on Industry 4.0 technologies (typically related to manufacturing) and network economies, under a value co-creation perspective. The major trends of technology adoption in grocery retailing are identified and compared them with the main categorizations of the Industry 4.0. Then, a framework to match network aggregation levels and Industry 4.0 technologies is proposed, to highlight the main technological drivers for future grocery retailing value co-creation. New networks, network economies, platforms and ecosystems derive, and new issues for management emerge.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
