Disruptive technologies have fundamentally changed the way profits are created and therefore the business models of both startups and legacy companies. The transformation of information systems, as a research discipline dedicated to this topic, will be discussed, to then address current research on digital business models. Based on the most promising technologies of the next years, emerging business models will be presented.
It's nothing new that business models are changing due to new technologies, but nowadays it's not just about selling your goods online, but about completely new business models. How is it that some companies become successful with their digital business models and others fail, and what factors can or must be considered. This is one of the tasks of the information systems discipline. However, since the researcher have different points of view that evolve over time, and since information systems must repeatedly justify itself as a discipline, first an overview of its development will be provided. Then the technologies from the Gartner Hype Cycle with the highest expectations will be presented, such as artificial intelligence, which can itself create artifacts such as source code or design. To better analyze the potential value creation opportunities that can arise from these technologies, the basics of business models will first be presented and in particular how business models must be adapted to the new digital possibilities.
