Contextual variety, Internet-of-Things and the choice of tailoring over platform: Mass customisation strategy in supply chain management

Examining potential benefits and challenges associated with the Internet of Things integration in supply chains

“…Overall, the findings of this study fill some of the highlighted literature gap of related studies about IoT adoption and its potential (e.g. Borgia, 2014;Lee and Lee, 2015;Madakam et al, 2015;Mishra et al, 2016;Ng et al, 2015;Russo et al, 2015;Whitmore et al, 2014;Zhou et al, 2015).…”

“…The IoT has opened up a completely new set of opportunities for research and practice in SCM (Ng et al, 2015). Mishra et al (2016) proposed four future potential research themes two of which were directly related to IoT adoption in supply chains as follows: 'What are the drivers and barriers of IoT implementation and adoption?…”

Unlocking value from machines: business models and the industrial internet of things

“…to external intelligence (Anderson, 2012;Brynjolfsson & McAfee, 2012)  Enable self-service manufacturing (Andersonson, 2012;Ng, Scharf, Pogrebna, Maull, 2015;Rifkin, 2014)  Increase system uncertainty by connecting hitherto isolated systems  Challenge of data and information reliability (Geisberger & Broy, 2015, pp. 77-79 Sicari, Rizzardi, Grieco,L, Coen-Porisini, 2015)  Potential industry disruption by disintermediation and new competition through start-ups and Internet-driven businesses (Anderson, 2012, Brynjolfsson & MacAfee, 2012) Sensors  Reveal information on manufacturing processes and their environment (Ng, Scharf, Pogrebna, Maull, 2015;Rifkin, 2014)  Threatens intellectual property, know-how and intelligence (Geisberger & Broy, 2015, pp.…”
