Digital Business
• Different definitions from industry:
‒ Gartner – “Digital business is the creation of new value chains and
business opportunities that traditional businesses cannot offer.”
‒ McKinsey – “Digital should be seen less as a thing and more a way
of doing things.”
Most businesses fit one or both of these points: focus on creating
value at new frontiers for their core business, or use digital technology
to drive growth, revenue and performance in ways were impossible
with traditional models

customer experience focus on the competitive advantages that
technology gains them, e.g., provide new value to their customers

willing to restructure the organization with new roles and greater input
from IT

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Digital Business vs Digital Transformation
• Many characteristics of digital business overlap with the concept of
digital transformation, which uses a customer-centric focus to guide
the implementation of digital technologies in the operational systems
and business models
• Digital business is the end goal, digital transformation is the process
that companies undergo in order to get there

Technology Evolution
• Digital technology is
evolving quickly; not
linear development
• Opportunities arise
when there is a gap
between how
companies evolve and
the technology
potentials

Impact on the Value Chain
• Business architecture: how players - competitors, suppliers and players
from adjacent industries - are organized to deliver a certain value add to
the end users; how do they interact together; who do they interact with.
• Traditional model of business architecture vertically integrated value
chain - an industry can be seen as a succession of many suppliers,
producers, and distributors. As a whole, they transform raw input to
market-ready material, all that one step at a time.
• Deconstruction of the Value Chain stack-based structure - players
can compete on different key success factors in different layers; scale
at the bottom, innovation of the top. New players can disrupt
incumbents by attacking a specific portion of the whole value chain.

• Shift to the cloud: 4 layers of services – infrastructure as a service
(IAAS), platform as a service (PAAS), software as a service (SAAS) and
business process as a service
• Internet of Things (IOT): network of connected objects that can build an
aware, autonomous and actionable system
• Additive manufacturing: process of joining materials to make objects
• Cyber security; artificial intelligence; blockchain: distributed, digital
ledger… or a combination of trends

Economics of Complements
• A complement is a good that
is dependent on, or require
use of other product
• Economics of
Complements – when we
reduce the value of the
complement the demand
of the product increases
• When the complement is
commoditized, the demand
for the product is increased

Driving Demand Through Network Effects
Apple and Amazon drive demand through network effects
• How to create network effects in your business?
o Identify complements to your product (e.g. apps)
o Combine complements with usage of product (e.g. bundle)
o Identify complementors (e.g. developers)
o Boost supply and demand for complements (e.g. app store)
46
Asymmetric Business Models
Asymmetric business models are based on the economics of
complements
• A company identifies a complement in different industry
• Value is created by commoditizing that complement
• The complement is bundled with the core product of the company,
where profits are generated
47
Examples of Asymmetric Business Models
Force profit to cross industries

Applying Asymmetric Business Models
• Create a complement in a new industry with lower Customer Acquisition
Cost (CAC)
• Combine complement with usage of your product
• Boost demand for complement by commoditizing
• Acquire users from new industry with lower CAC
