The Internet of Things refers to smart, connected products—smart, because they incorporate digital capabilities (sensors and actuators), and connected, because they can communicate with each other and the rest of the world.
AI has a deep transformational impact on business because it enhances product performance, optimizes business processes, automates tasks, transforms business models, and creates new products and markets.
Digital transformation, the fundamental organizational change shaped by datafication, customerization, platformization, and democratization, can help organizations streamline processes, reinvent customer experiences, and create growth through new business models.
Management’s decision whether to invest in a digital innovation project is based in large part on evaluating the project from a financial perspective. Management must forecast the profitability of these projects to allocate a firm’s scarce resources to those projects that will maximize firm value.
IT strategy, which lays out how a firm can generate a competitive advantage using IT, is a blueprint built off a firm’s unique differentiating capabilities. It describes how the firm can grow faster than competitors and achieve above-average financial returns by creating superior value for customers.
Digital platforms such as eBay (buyer and sellers) and Uber (drivers and riders) connect participants and enable interactions.
