(A) Agriculture:Value from

harvesting nature

(G) Goods:Value from

making products

(S) Services:Value from enhancing the

capabilities of things (customizing,

distributing, etc.) and interactions between things

Boom:

Digitalization of services!

New Business Logic

In search for business that scales (marginal return wrt. resources increases)

1. Services - do not scale

2. Products - scale according to logistics

3. Products + service - scale according to logistics

4. Digital services & products, hyper-scalable accordingto Metcalfe’s law

Characteristics of Hyper-scalable Business

”The winner takes it really all”

Revenues and profit order of magnitude more than in the traditional ”scalable” business (>10 M€ vs. >1M€/a/person)

Creations of global (natural) monopolies

Quicker rice and fall

A cult more than a war, a tribe more than subjects

Instigating the people, Heart-to-Heart business, Memes

Technology

Regulation and legal framework for digital economy still missing

Digital single market

Europe has Digital Agenda, but US

Companies dominate Digital

Economy

Role of IoT

I3, identity, interaction, inference

Internet of Things (IoT) is a set of products, services and processes that virtualizes the real-world things for digital processing.

Depending on the instance, the digital representation of the real world can be very simple or extremely complex, very local or globally orchestrated.

The sources of information can be anything from tags, sensors, embedded systems, existing databases to human agencies. An essential ingredient is scalable connectivity, locally and globally.

Recipies for Hyperscalable Business

What competition?

Winning the Metcalfe’s law on your side

Jobs and growth?

Global champions + strong local clusters of trust

Winning strategies?

Niche dominance + radical adjacency

Platform & ecosystem fight

Service dominant logic – gaining value from the usage

…

Market Adoption Readiness Levels (MARL)

TRL: traditional, relies only on maturity of technology.

"market adoption readiness levels“: fast changing and disruptive IoT environment needs the assessment of three major parameters:

users (adoption / feedback), business models, societal aspects

data (generated by the system and user interactions) and

the assessment of risk.

This cycle can be described as involving

an early "deployment"

followed by "engagement" of prospective users

leading to "test / feedback" of users – which if positive has a multiplying effect.

Continuous re-iterations of this cycle results in evolving to a tipping point scaling-up

Open innovation 2.0: Battle of global ecosystems + local clusters of trust

In the platform and ecosystem game winner takes it all – timing is critical
