Component Business Model Dynamic capability is defined as “the firm’s ability to integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competences to address rapidly changing environments”. The basic assumption of the dynamic capabilities framework is that today’s fast changing markets force firms to respond quickly and to be innovative. Agile, sense and respond, reconfiguration, modularization
The 5 Dimensions of a Business Component Resource-Based ViewDaft (1983) says: "...firm resources include all assets, capabilities, organizational processes, firm attributes, information, knowledge, etc; controlled by a firm that enable the firm to conceive of and implement strategies that improve its efficiency and effectiveness.“ IBM Component Business Model

Technology drivers of infrastructure evolution http://www.emc.com/collateral/demos/microsites/idc-digital-universe/iview.htm • Moore’s law and micro-processing power • Computing power doubles every 18 months/2 years • Nanotechnology: May shrink size of transistors to width of several atoms • Contrary factors: Heat dissipation needs, power consumption concerns • Law of Mass Digital Storage • The amount of data being stored each year doubles • Metcalfe’s Law and network economics • Value or power of a network grows exponentially as a function of the number of network members • As network members increase, more people want to use it (demand for network access increases)
Advancing Rates of Technology (Silicon, Storage, Telecom) Smaller & faster & cheaper
