4 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 according to Metcalfe s law

5 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

10 Role of IoT I 3, 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.

11 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 : 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
