The implications of digital disruptions for the creation and capture of value in developing countries are becoming increasingly important to understand. This involves shifting the focus beyond issues related to access and use of ICTs to the production side, to enable an assessment of the overall impacts on structural change, growth and development. This chapter discusses conceptually the process of value creation and capture from the perspective of sustainable development. It examines how new forms of value can be created, particularly around digital platforms and data; but it also points to possible risks posed by new business models for countries, firms and individuals that are less prepared to take advantage of new technologies. The proposed conceptual framework highlights four elements: the division of value, governance of value, upgrading and value creation versus capture.
