This book focuses on the Internet of Things (Io T). Io T has caught the imagination as a transformational technology that will positively impact a large and diverse array of socio-economic activities. This book explores this impact, beginning with a chapter highlighting the promises and complexities of the Io T. It then explores these in greater detail in subsequent chapters. The first of these chapters explores the patenting activity of leading companies and is followed by a discussion of the challenges faced by the growth of ‘unicorns’ within Europe. The fourth chapter outlines a methodology for determining when investments in Io T should occur and is followed by a discussion of how the data generated by Io T will change marketing related decisions. The scope and complexity of the regulatory and governance structures associated with the Io T are then explored in the sixth chapter. These issues are brought together in the final chapter, which identifies the opportunities and challenges emanating from the Io T and how these may be tackled.
This book will be valuable reading to academics working in the field of disruptive technology, innovation management, and technological change more broadly.
