Borders Transcended by IT
INTRODUCTION
IT-driven businesses have the power to transcend existing business and industry barriers. Smart things change manufacturing and gather all kinds of service-oriented industries on the smartphone, leading to supremacy in competition. Companies that excel in IT will be able to realize new forms of business, centering them in unprecedented divisions of labor and collaborative relationships.
Such destruction will further grow trade areas and transcend future boundaries.
We identify such border crossings and value transformations brought about by IT using case studies to seek out new opportunities and challenges.
