Research on Pricing Decisions for Shared Manufacturing Services in a Digital Service Context

Abstract

With the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, digital service transformation has become a key pathway for driving the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing. As a typical manifestation of this trend, shared manufacturing is reshaping the traditional allocation model of production resources. However, in the digital service-oriented context, manufacturing services exhibit new characteristics such as high heterogeneity, demand uncertainty, and data-enabled value enhancement. These features make it difficult for traditional pricing mechanisms to effectively balance the interests among platforms, service providers, and demand parties, thereby constraining the sustainable development of the shared manufacturing ecosystem. Addressing this issue, this paper focuses on the pricing decision-making mechanism for shared manufacturing services in the digital service-oriented context.
