Apps and Software: The Driving Forces of Business Model Transformation
Technology, and more specifically software, is transforming whole sectors of the economy. As technology and software continue to invade new industries, new business models are emerging that threaten existing ways of doing business. Sometimes, established companies develop new products and services and expand. Other times, entirely new companies displace existing leaders. The only thing certain in the new technology-driven economy is change. Will companies adapt and survive? Or will they fail to stay ahead of and risk a revolution in their industry?
Jeffrey Hammond of Forrester Research explored this new software-driven world.
