The Internet of Things and Business

The rapidly developing Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to radically change the way we live and work. The smart phones, watches and fitness trackers we carry with us, and the connected devices in our homes, are producing unprecedented volumes of data. This data is invaluable for the companies collecting it, creating sweeping changes across industry and businesses. But what does all this data mean for the citizens and workers?

This book outlines the challenges posed by the Internet of Things and presents a guide to questions we should be asking of the companies rolling out IoT solutions. It explains the origins, drivers and key current business models for the IoT, as well as the social issues that have arisen in relation to these.
