17. Digital Production and ‘slices’ of time
 From selling Products to selling Performance/Outcome
 IoT (Digital Twins), AI and BigData
Example: Fully Autonomous Car
Example: Car as a Product vs. Car a a Service Assumptions: weight 1000 Kg, price 50.000 €, usage 5%
Product sales : 50.000 € -> 50.000€/1000 Kg= 50 €/Kg
Services sales : 5.000 €/Y * 10Y * 20 served User= 1.000.000 € -> 1.000.000€/1000Kg= 1000 €/Kg

…the simulations of Jay Forrester and Denis Meadows
point not to the end of economic growth as such, but to
the end of one sort of economic growth…
