Abstract

Chapter 2 discussed the importance of digitisation as an innovation driver for the composable enterprise, but in order to present the entire lifecycle first, did not discuss it in detail. This chapter therefore goes into innovation drivers in greater depth.

In addition to drivers that use economic effects such as exponential growth or low-marginal-cost production, opportunities for information technology such as AI or blockchain are analysed.

Social or political developments can also inspire companies to innovate. This is demonstrated by factors such as New Work and climate change.

Statements that are very specific or refer to specific systems are marked in italics. Readers who are more interested in an overview can skip these parts without losing the content guide.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The press reporting on VW’s changes at board level, problems with the Cariad company, as well as speculation and announcements about cooperation with the large American tech companies, all show how difficult this transformation can be and the controversial discussions that can arise.
