The platform will be structured in 6 sides, linked by strong network externalities. It will understand that there is a market need for interoperability based on data exchange between connected devices. To reach profitability, it will attract advertisers and will launch by focusing on service providers and device manufacturers to make it grow, considering one actor with reputation and financial resources.
This lecture describes the Platform model or Two-sided Markets. Platforms serve multiple customer groups and benefit from network effects that take place with and between those groups. Businesses based on Platforms are able to adopt innovative pricing structures in which one side subsidizes another. When the marginal costs are near zero it can be practical to drop the subsidized price all the way to zero.

Competition, bargaining power and pricing in two sided marketsKimmo Soramaki
We develop a usage model of two-sided markets with perfect multi-homing. Bargaining plays a role when market sides prefer different platforms.
We are interested in the profit-maximising usage fees set by homogeneous duopolistic platforms.
We find that for sufficiently low cost level, in Nash-equilibrium all costs are borne by the side without bargaining power. The equilibrium price allows excess profits for both platforms.
We argue that skewed pricing found empirically in many two sided markets, can perhaps be explained by which side chooses the platform when both sides are willing to transact on multiple platforms.
Multi-sided platforms are the superior way of doing business today. This content will help you define a marketplace business with the network effect. All network orchestrators must perform well at least 4 functions listed in this presentation.

Talking about the shift from voice-centric to data-centric models in telecommunications
Author: Marcel Noordman, Mobile Broadband Engagement Manager, Ericsson Latin America and Caribbean
As the telecommunication industry moves from a voice-centric to a data-centric model, operators are adapting all aspects of their business to address the new opportunities. In our interviews with 18 marketing and strategy executives, we found their main challenges centered on sustaining profitable growth, redefining value, delivering customer experience, innovating, competing successfully, and aligning their internal organizations and cultures. Operators who can make this voice-centric to data-centric transition successfully show a superior financial performance compared to their peers in the market.
These slides discuss Network Effects, Platforms, Standards, and Complex Systems. All of these concepts continue to become more important as the digital economy progresses. From Uber to Instacart, and from smart phones to driverless vehicles, these concepts are playing an increasingly important role in the global economy. Their impact is most obvious when one thinks of the winner take all markets that are becoming increasingly common.

Outdoor advertising is evolving faster than ever before. Never before has new technology been driving such massive change, not only in how we display ads, but also in how we plan OOH campaigns. Here are Posterscope’s predictions for what 2016 holds in store for the out-of-home industry...
Call To Action: Bridging the Gap Between Mobile & OOHPosterscope
As we see the number of connected devices and technologies continue to increase, the phenomena of the once spectatorial culture is now rapidly evolving into a participatory culture. Key drivers such as mobile, social and digital OOH have created a constantly connected consumer who has high expectations and more control over what he/she is willing to listen to, take away
and act upon. This has forced a collaboration of OOH with mobile, creating a new communication ecosystem that is revolutionizing how we interact with media while out of home.
Here we discuss how mobile technologies such as QR, SMS, AR, Bluetooth and NFC are changing the OOH advertising landscape, allowing brands to engage with consumers on a platform that never leaves their side.
This deck offers a brief overview of Jackdaw Research, a research and consulting firm focused on the consumer technology market. We differentiate ourselves by taking a big-picture, strategic approach to the consumer technology market, the companies which compete in it, and their business models. This allows us to see trends and predict future developments much more effectively than the traditional siloed analyst firms.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

20. 1.1 Qualitative interview guide

Introduction and introduction of the interview: “Dear Mister / Madam, Thanks for having accepted giving your
opinion and knowledge. All the information you give me may contribute to the work I am currently undertaking and
may be included inside, under your name or anonymously depending on your preference. “
Q2.1-First question, simple to answer and very factual to make the interlocutor confident and talk more easily: “What
is your definition and understanding on the Internet of Things? Can you explain to me your day to day work and its
link with this market?”
Then, react on one sentence and begin asking questions to extract the following data needed:
General questions my interlocutor platform perception. Two goals: being sure we talk about the same thing
and get information or new ideas using actors’ perceptions on the platform (Q2.2). Among these questions,
clarifying and exploring the platform offerings to different actors. Then determining whether they think the
platform is more quality driven, installed base driven or expectation driven not by directly asking it to my
interlocutor but by asking him to order 3 platform offerings, each one accentuating one of the three previously
cited characteristics (Q2.3). Then I will ask which resources and core capabilities best help building such
platform in his opinion before asking him evaluate which actor has best success rate in implementing its
platform (Q2.4).
Questions about his data sharing experiences and issues: I am going to ask them about the awareness
concerning data they might be giving already away to try to get an understanding about their experience, and
know how related to this issue.
How sensitive my interlocutor is to other actors on the platform? To proceed, I will introduce a type of actor,
explain what could be its potential role in the platform, ask my interlocutors to comment on this role before
asking him to rate between 0 and 5 the importance he would give to this type of actor (Q2.5).
How sensitive he is to platform prices? I will introduce the subject by asking my interlocutor what benefits he
hope gaining from such a platform. Then I will introduce the cost-side of acceding to such benefits by asking
which payment structure would best suit my interlocutor before inquiring about how much would he be
willing to pay and how sensitive is its price elasticity (Q2.6).

28. 3.1 Perceived added profit methodology: presentation
28
We have based network
externalities from actor A to actor
B quantification on how much
perceived added profit the
presence of actor B makes on
actor A’s income statement. As
the effect of an added profit of a
certain number of dollars is
market dependent (for instance a
network provider and an advertiser
do not have the same profit scale
and margins), all quantification
will have to be affected by a factor
characterizing profitability level in
the different industries in order to
be comparable.
Actor A
Perceived added profit of
joining the platform:
ΔPercProf = f(Actor A, Actor B, Actor C)
Other Actor A Actor B
Network externalities between actors A
and from actor B to actor A
29. 3.2 Perceived added profit methodology: results
29
e: number of end-users.
d: number of devices
compatible with the
platform, which is highly
correlated with the
number of connected
device manufacturers
having joined the
platform.
Ad: number of advertisers
paying to obtain data in
order to contextualize
their advertisings.
s: number of service
providers linked with the
platform.
So: number of software
providers linked with the
platform.
n: number of network
providers linked with the
platform.

Editor's Notes
Helped by interviews from experts, I determined which resources and capabilities best help actors to succeed with their internet of things platform. Here are the results. What we can say about this is that financial means and reputation are the main resources to have provided that the actors has a good positioning strategy and has called HEC to have this disseration.
This clasification of resources and capabilities have helped me giving a success rate to actors having launched their platform. Google, Intel and Samsung appear on the top of the list.
Here we are, we have answered the question what’s the future for the internet of things platform.…
Thank you for your attention, do not hesitate if you have some questions. I just want to say that professional dissertation does not stop here for me as I have been asked by Ludovic Le moan, Sigfox CEO, to present him the results of my works so I will go to Toulouse in July to talk about all this.
