A trio of experts on high-tech business strategy and innovation reveal the principles that have made platform businesses the most valuable firms in the world and the first trillion-dollar companies. Managers and entrepreneurs in the digital era must learn to live in two worlds-the conventional economy and the platform economy. Platforms that operate for business purposes usually exist at the level of an industry or ecosystem, bringing together individuals and organizations so they can innovate and interact in ways not otherwise possible. Platforms create economic value far beyond what we see in conventional companies. The Business of Platforms is an invaluable, in-depth look at platform strategy and digital innovation. Cusumano, Gawer, and Yoffie address how a small number of companies have come to exert extraordinary influence over every dimension of our personal, professional, and political lives. They explain how these new entities differ from the powerful corporations of the past. They also question whether there are limits to the market dominance and expansion of these digital juggernauts. Finally, they discuss the role governments should play in rethinking data privacy laws, antitrust, and other regulations that could reign in abuses from these powerful businesses. Their goal is to help managers and entrepreneurs build platform businesses that can stand the test of time and win their share of battles with both digital and conventional competitors. As experts who have studied and worked with these firms for some thirty years, this book is the most authoritative and timely investigation yet of the powerful economic and technological forces that make platform businesses, from Amazon and Apple to Microsoft, Facebook, and Google-all dominant players in shaping the global economy, the future of work, and the political world we now face.

Das Internet der Dinge ist eine der Perspektiven fur Zukunftsmarkte der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Die Vision vom Internet der Dinge wurde erstmals 2004 formuliert, als RFID als eine der Technologien, die die Fantasie der Forscher und Ingenieure beflugelt, in die Welt der Warenstroeme versuchweise integriert wurde. Klar ist, die Technik lasst sich uberall einsetzen, wo man Gegenstande identifizieren, registrieren und ihren Weg verfolgen will. Aber es scheint erst der Anfang einer Revolution zu sein. Das Internet der Dinge entwickelt sich rasant. Realistische Szenarien sollen die Warenstroeme vereinfachen, zuverlassig machen und Problemloesungen nachvollziehbar gestalten lassen. Keine Orwellschen Horrorszenarien, Transparenz der Warenherkunft, des Warenzustands und der Lieferzuverlassigkeit dienen dem Verbraucher und helfen dabei, unsere standig komplexer werdende Welt gestaltbar zu erhalten. Bei der Idee hat denn auch, wie der Name Internet der Dinge andeutet, das existierende World Wide Web Pate gestanden. Jedes Paket, jeder Container, jeder Transportbehalter, so die Vision, findet selbst den richtigen Weg zum Empfanger. Ort und Zustand der Dinge werden transparent und nachvollziehbar, der Schutz der Intimspharen individuell steuerbar. Die RFID-Technik macht es moeglich, prophezeit der Logistikexperte Prof. Michael ten Hompel, Leiter des Fraunhofer-Instituts fur Materialfluss und Logistik IML in Dortmund. Das Ziel wird einfach in die intelligenten Etiketten geschrieben. So weiss das Paket, wo es hin muss, steuert sich selbst auf seinem Weg durch die Anlagen und bucht seinen Platz in einem Transportfahrzeug, beschreibt ten Hompel die Aufgabe, die die Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in die Realitat umsetzen wird.

The Internet is connecting an increasing number of individuals, organizations, and devices into global networks of information flows. It is accelerating the dynamics of innovation in the digital economy, affecting the nature and intensity of competition, and enabling private companies, governments, and the non-profit sector to develop new business models. In this new ecosystem many of the theoretical assumptions and historical observations upon which economics rests are altered and need critical reassessment.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the rapidly changing world of Web-based business technologies and their often-disruptive innovations. The history of the Web is a short one. Indeed many college graduates today were not even born when the Web first emerged. It is therefore an opportune time to view the Web as having reached the point of graduation. The Web has led to new ways in which businesses connect and operate, and how individuals communicate and socialize; related technologies include cloud computing, social commerce, crowd sourcing, and the Internet of Things, to name but a few. These developments, including their technological foundations and business impacts, are at the heart of the book. It contextualizes these topics by providing a brief history of the World Wide Web, both in terms of the technological evolution and its resultant business impacts. The book was written for a broad audience, including technology managers and students in higher education. It is also intended as a guide for people who grew up with a background in business administration or engineering or a related area but who, in the course of their career paths, have reached a point where IT-related decisions have become their daily business, e.g., in digital transformation. The book describes the most important Web technologies and related business applications, and especially focuses on the business implications of these technologies. As such, it offers a solid technology- and business-focused view on the impact of the Web, and balances rules and approaches for strategy development and decision making with a certain technical understanding of what goes on "behind the scenes."
