Business Model

(Source: Business Times: 2 Oct 2013)

“Companies that alter their business

model in response to change and

opportunity are more likely to achieve a

sustainable competitive advantage.

The reason is simple: it is much more

difficult for a competitor to copy a

business model than it is to replicate

products or services,”

Steven Phan, Asia-Pacific managing

partner at accounting firm EY.

IoT: Change the way the world works

CEO Jeff Immelt: "The Internet has changed the way we consume

information and talk with each other, but now it can do more.

By connecting intelligent machines to each other and ultimately to

people, and by combining software and big data analytics,

we can push the boundaries of physical and material sciences to

change the way the world works." (from ZDNet webpage)

IoT create new business model:

More objects are becoming embedded with sensors and gaining the

ability to communicate. The resulting information networks

promise to create new business models, improve business

processes, and reduce costs and risks. (Mckinsey)
