ICT start-up development, Aalto ACE1.4. Summary, Sakari Luukkainen
• ICT investment – purchase of computer &telecommunications HW, SW, and services• Value added – output minus input of certainproduction sector, practically wages plus profits• GDP – sum of value added created by allproduction sectors in the national economy• Labour productivity – value added per workinghours• TFP – modern productivity indicator thatdescribes that part of production growth that cannot be explained by the growth of inputs
ICT is considered aspecial case of newtechnologies that serveas enabling technologiesleading to even furtherinnovations
Ntwserbus 4
• from transformation from bulk materialmanufacturing to design and use of technology
• from processing of resources to processing ofinformation –digital economy• intangible capital is the new engine of growth• endogenic growth theory explains such ainnovation driven phase of economies• technological over price competitiveness• technology tends to accumulate in certain places of
economy and diffuse value also to actors which donot take fully part to its creation cost - spillover
• technology explains for at least half of the long termeconomic growth of industrialized nations
• a lot of studies has been made since 1980 ́s• common argument is that ICT is a general purpose
technology, a “platform” that enables efficientknowledge creation, codification and transmissionwidely in the economy
• productivity paradox (Solow 1987): “You can seecomputer age everywhere but in the productivitystatistics”
• empirical findings show however a long learning periodand slow diffusion, finally about 20 % from GDP growth• “computers are part of a larger system of technologicaland organisational changes that increases productivity
over time” (Brynjolfsson and Hitt 2000)• ICT generates spillovers – effect on TFP
• The sharing economy means collaborative consumption and thesharing of resources by leveraging Internet - more efficient usage ofresources increase productivity
• Owning a product versus renting or borrowing it makes littledifference to its value
• Unused value refers to that goods lay idle, this idle time is wastedvalue that sharing business models businesses utilize
• E.g. average car is unused 92% of the time
• When information about goods availability is shared, the value ofgoods increase
• The sharing model is based on ICT platforms in order to enablepeer-to-peer renting of goods
• Now the Internet has reduced marginal costs to near zero
• Creative destruction theory describes the process of technologicalchange that revolutionizes the industrial structure by destroying theold one and creating a new one - sharing business models arenow disrupting traditional industries based on models ofindividual private ownership
• E.g. the home-sharing service Airbnb.com is challenging biggesthotel chains in the world similarly than Uber.com taxis
• For a traditional hotel chain the new room must be built at asignificant cost
• Airbnb.com can add another room to its offering at almost nomarginal cost and households are able to rent their apartmentscheaper than hotels
• to what extent ICT is investment and to what extententertainment?• effect of Angry Birds to productivity?• the cost of taking ICT into use can be 5 times bigger than
actual SW & HW investment, problems and alsopossibilities to improve productivity especially in Finnishpublic health service
• relatively long time gap between the introduction ofa technology and its positive impact on productivity• ICT is only an enabler - parallel organizational change
is mandatory• Finland has benefited a lot of from ICT production– a lot of potential left in taking ICT productively into use
ICT in business process• up to 90% of ICT projects fail to meet their goals and less
than 25% properly integrate business and technologyobjectives
• other surveys indicate that companies waste 40% of thetotal amount they spend on ICT because the systemsthey build are not aligned with business process
• organizations often tend to use ICT to automateaccounting, stock control and other routine functions
• heavy investments in information technology havedelivered disappointing results, largely becausecompanies tend to use technology to automate old waysof doing business
• The integration of ICT with physical industrial equipmente.g. machinery or vehicles
• It refers to all of the devices, sensors, and software thatenables connectivity between machines
• Machines use network resources to communicate withremote application infrastructure in order to monitor andcontrol the machine itself or the surrounding environment
• Internet of Things can be thought of as the vision of whatthe Industrial Internet will ultimately lead to, wherein thephysical world becomes merged with the digital world
• Important here is the added value that ICT could bring tobusiness process of those machinery industries
• tool for real-time monitoring of forest machines• centralized managing and monitoring field
operations in real time• machines are equipped with data transfer and
GPS to transmit the data automatically to anInternet-based reporting service
• possible to check at any time the location or thecurrent situation of the forest machine on the map
• detailed productivity reports - machine engineworking hours, the amount of fuel in the tank, theamount of wood harvested in the active stand andmachine productivity and fuel consumption fordifferent drivers
