Symbiosis of Cooperation: New Practices of Platform Organization
Symbiotic organization is an efficient cooperative organization based on customer value creation and cross-domain value network. Its network members are the main body, resources are common, value is co-creation, and profit sharing, which can create high-level development that no single organization can achieve.

Liu Yuanchun, vice president of Renmin University of China, pointed out that filling the digital divide and achieving breakthroughs in the governance of the digital economy are not only reflected in the integration and development of technology for various traditional economies, but also in the availability of digital infrastructure and digital technology. He believes that the digital economy is different from traditional elements and traditional economic attributes, and has a strong externality, publicity and sharing, and also requires moderate competition in the market. Therefore, the governance of the digital economy does not emphasize national dominance like traditional governance, but requires a multidimensional system, especially the establishment of a global collaborative digital economic governance system under a diversified system.
Okan Garay, a strategic planning consultant at the Smart Dubai Office, said in the keynote report that data has economic attributes, and data in every aspect of economic activity can be commercialized. Regarding data pricing, estimation and authorization, it is very important for SMEs. At present, there is no complete mechanism. Enterprises can consider bridging the gap from this aspect.
