CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS Proposal Submission Deadline: February 28, 2016 The Internet of Things in the Modern Business Environment A book edited by In Lee
To be published by IGI Global:
Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT), also called the Internet of Everything or the Industrial Internet, is a new technology paradigm envisioned as a global network of machines and devices capable of interacting with each other. The true value of the IoT for firms can be fully realized when connected devices are able to communicate with each other and integrate with enterprise systems, cloud computing, and business analytics. The adoption of this technology is rapidly gaining momentum as technological, societal, and competitive pressures push firms to innovate and transform themselves. Because of the potential yet uncertain benefits and high investment costs of the IoT, firms need to carefully assess every IoT-induced opportunity and challenge to ensure that their resources are spent judiciously. However, there is still a paucity of studies on the social, behavioral, economic, and managerial aspects of the IoT. This makes it very challenging for firms to make informed decisions on IoT adoption and development. The book, The Internet of Things in the Modern Business Environment, will seek chapters that address different aspects of the IoT applications within business settings, ranging from monitoring, information sharing, collaboration, data analytics, and related topics. Additionally, this book will explore the impact of the IoT on business operations, business models, and competitiveness, and address managerial challenges that firms have faced.
Objective of the Book This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential reference source, building on the available literature in the field of the IoT for businesses, while providing further research opportunities in this dynamic field. It is hoped that this book will provide professors, researchers, students, and professionals with cutting-edge IoT research models and management techniques integrated with a solid grounding in management theories and practices.
Target Audience Researchers, professors, managers, and college students in various programs will find this book useful in furthering their exposure to pertinent topics in the IoT within business settings and undertaking their own research and management efforts in this field.
