Abstract
The presented role model enables the description and analysis of value networks in the manufacturing industry. Based on the production role model the impact of digitalization on value networks will be investigated. Key results by analyzing the role model are the emergence of new players, the increasing importance of system integrators, changing business models, and the increasing interconnectedness of players.
