Social Consequences of Digitization


Online business models tend to form quasi monopolistic structures where the winner takes it all. Be it search engines or short term apartment rentals, hotel bookings or app-based taxi services we frequently seem to end up with one single brand completely dominating its industry in the online world.

But what does that mean for the "Mittelstand”, for the many SMEs that form the backbone of our economies, offer local job opportunities, pay taxes that directly benefit the communities in which they operate and contribute to a healthy social fabric? Is the online business world undermining the very foundations prospering societies? As manufacturing jobs are taken over by robots, will services jobs go next, as artificial intelligence (AI) evolves? If there is less and less labor to be taxed while more value is being generated, will we need to tax robots and AI in order to generate revenues vital for a functioning state? Or will we have to radically rethink how fair and dignified distribution of wealth and access to societal participation should look like?

Surely there will be more questions than answers but nonetheless we are very excited to bring to you the next edition of our event series on digitization and business ethics hosted by Lilienberg Unternehmerforum in cooperation with our executive training brand Ethics First.
