About the Conference
PM Narendra Modi’s shock and awe demonetization announcement of Nov 8, accompanied by his pitch to go digital, makes deeper analysis on the digital ecosystem inevitable. While narrower interpretations of digital aggressiveness policy might liken it to using less cash ostensibly to eliminate corruption, the forest of digital expansiveness, however, goes far beyond.
The industrial information architecture designed for world created post Industrial Revolution is increasingly being dismantled. Internet and the accompanying digital revolution challenge this substructure significantly on account of advances in internet and telecommunications. Knowledge dominates both production and consumption substantially at the cusp of a new order of information and knowledge access, control and transfer.
Furthermore, the digital shift has upset the time-honored equilibrium of power between private corporations, civil society and governments. Access to information ceases to be the preserve of the state, yet neither the corporation nor the wide body of non-profit, nongovernmental organizations and pressure groups can claim exclusive control. Implications notwithstanding, there is uncertainty whether the forces digitalization fortify decentralized order of information production and exchange or conversely craft a new order of information feudalism. Nonetheless, the emerging order is not technological determinism but an outcome of consumer, citizen and producer behavior reaching a tipping point facilitated by digital tools. If in more ways than one, the traditional substructures of information reflected elitist form of socio-economic discourse, sharing based production models (Wikipedia), open innovation models (P&G, IBM), user driven innovations (Google Maps, Lego Toy) and other online business models (Intuit, Amazon, E-bay) present a bottom up reaction in business thinking.
Digital technologies serve as engines of cultural innovation. Their influence stems from the virtualization of group networks and social identities like Facebook and extends to the digital convergence of textual and audio-visual media. The growth and adoption of electronic commerce gets inter-wined with the development and strengthening of intellectual property legislations. The global nature of internet is evident in the fact that while service providers are located in industrialized world, the benefits diffuse across developed and emerging countries alike. Digital expansiveness suggests strong movement towards the spread of greater competition, increased availability of choice, spirit which liberates from the lock-ins, controls that threaten to take the market into a monopoly and like. For India to emerge as a hub for the new generation digitally underpinned firms, recognition that there are subtle shifts in the way we produce and consume is imperative.
Despite uncertainty over future trends, it would be apt to explore the directions the global society, economy and polity might negotiate in the coming years. We invite you to join us in attempting to harness the unfamiliar terrain of the knowledge ecosystem.
