Utility Ecosystem Building – Network Orchestration
Navigant reports “that every company uses one or more of
four basic business models: asset builder, service provider,
technology creator, and network orchestrator.” Among
Fortune 500 companies, linear business model
(asset builder, service provider, and technology creator) on
average scale more slowly and are less profitable
than the platform focused network orchestrator business
models
