Book The Power of the API Economy

Download or read book The Power of the API Economy written by Kerrie Holley and published by . This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The API Economy is key to accelerating business value by uncovering more profitable opportunities, reaching more profitable customers, and establishing more profitable partnerships. The cloud, ubiquitous mobility, Big Data analytics, the Internet of Things, software defined networking, and social platforms are fueling the hyper-growth of API-centric, business-as-a-service economies, in which entire businesses are digitized, and entirely new forms of business and consumer interaction emerge. Using these technologies, you can become easier to do business with, foster new channels, reach new markets, and radically improve your ability to collaborate. To achieve these goals, you must understand powerful new market dynamics, important ways in which your customers' lives are changing, and radically new technologies. But understanding isn't enough: you must plan and execute an effective response. In The Power of the API Economy, IBM Fellow Kerrie Holley covers all of this: ideas, implications, roadmaps, and execution. Holley demystifies both the technological and business trends driving the API economy, and offers a complete action plan for leveraging its torrent of new opportunities (and managing its many new risks). He offers clear, practical answers to key questions such as: What is the "API economy," and why should I care? How are digital platforms transforming business ecosystems, interactions, and my customers' lives and expectations? Which of my offerings are threatened most immediately, and what should I do? How can I use APIs to innovative at the speed of cloud and Internet-era companies - and create value at the same speed? How can I drive strategic advantage from "purpose-driven platforms" such as Facebook, Salesforce, iTunes, and Amazon? What happens when everyone's engaged with everything, and everyone's both a partner and a competitor? What do I do now? How will I know if it's working? Whether you're a CxO-level executive, line-of-business leader, technologist, strategist, marketer, or consultant, The Power of the API Economy will help you capture value and serve customers in ways you could have never imagined before -- because, until now, they simply didn't exist!

Book Innovating the API Economy  Towards a validated human centered workshop design

Download or read book Innovating the API Economy Towards a validated human centered workshop design written by Tobias Blum and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Information Management, grade: 5.25 (CHE-System), University of St. Gallen (Business Information Systems), language: English, abstract: The present thesis examines how a human-centered workshop design for finding use-cases for companies in the API economy could look like. For that aim the author used a qualitative exploration process and conducted interviews with 9 experts who have practical experiences in executing workshops and a theoretical background in the field of human-centered innovation to elaborate a first draft. The draft was then tested in four case studies to validate the methods. Based on the analysis of the workshop results and the participants’ feedback a final proposal towards a validated workshop design is presented. The thesis proposes that the best results are reached by implementing two workshop modules. The first module is focusing on the data, services and potential services of a company, connecting it with stakeholders. The second module elaborates the specific requirements of the use-case by discovering the needs directly with a potential client (inside out approach). In the first module the main methods are brainstorming activities, progression curves and the stakeholder map; in the second the central elements are an adapted customer journey (API Service Blueprint) and prototyping. As a result, the technical term “API” is transformed to an approachable topic in a human-centered workshop by getting to know the own company, the API consumer, the end-user and using prototyping to visualize APIs in interfaces the user interacts with. The findings are tailored into a workshop proposal which considers not only the specific methods but also further success factors to provide a complete guideline for a human-centered workshop design.

Book Business Models in the API Economy

Download or read book Business Models in the API Economy written by Sarah Grütter and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are technology platforms that provide access to software applications and functionalities through the Internet. In the current era of big data, API-enabled digital transformation is revolutionising entire industries and business models, converting APIs into important business strategy instruments. The purpose of this thesis is to extend and integrate business-oriented API research on platform-based value creation. At its core, the report explores the formation of API strategies, and how digital platforms, connected through APIs, create value. Special emphasis is given to mechanisms and features of platform-based value creation such as economies of scope in production, innovation, and demand, as well as associated network effects. As existing research is scarce and dispersed across various streams of research, an explorative research design is chosen in order to obtain a basic understanding of the research topic, which then forms the cornerstone of further investigations. Based on an extensive literature review on APIs and platform-based value creation, as well as an empirical survey with 179 participating API providers that investigates the design and formation of API strategies, an integrative and comparative analysis is conducted. The research findings show that API providers strategically pursue the creation and exploitation of economies of scope in production and innovation by granting external developers API access to their IT resources. However, API providers remain cautious when it comes to opening up their end customer access and, thereby, harnessing economies of scope in demand. Moreover, empirical evidence could not be obtained to confirm an existence of network effects in the context of API-enabled platforms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ask a dozen talking heads about how the economy works and what course of action we should take and you'll get thirteen different answers. But what if we possessed a handful of basic principles that could guide our decisions -- both the personal ones about what to buy and how to spend but also those national ones that have been capturing the headlines? Robert H. Frank, (a.k.a. the Economic Naturalist) has been illustrating those principles longer and more clearly than anyone else. In The Economic Naturalist's Field Guide, he reveals how they play out in Washington, on Wall Street, and in our own lives, covering everything from tax policy to financial investment to everyday decisions about saving and spending. In today's uncertain economic climate, The Economic Naturalist's Field Guide's insights have more bearing on our pocketbooks, policies, and personal happiness than ever.

Download or read book API Economy written by Melanie Gabriel and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) not only act as the basic infrastructure of a platform but also enable new forms of business development commonly referred to as the API Economy. While the term Platform Economy has found its way into academia, the term API Economy has hardly been explored from an academic perspective yet. The aim of the present master thesis is to fill this gap by defining what the API Economy is, investigating how it relates to the Platform Economy and how it affects the recent monopolization and centralization tendencies. To this end, fourteen experts from both fields have been interviewed and their answers have been analyzed with Grounded Theory. The first main finding is that the term API Economy can be approached from three different perspectives. The technical perspective equates the API Economy to APIs and their technical capabilities and is mainly used in the context of software development. The business perspective, on the other hand, describes how internal and external APIs can have a positive impact on an organization's monetary (e.g. profitability) and non-monetary (e.g. B2D relationship, innovativeness) objectives. Finally, the societal perspective addresses the question of who owns the data transferred back and forth by APIs and deals with the impact of APIs on society and its consequences on everyday life. From the interviews it can further be derived that the two economies are linked to the extent that Platform Economy does not exist without the API Economy, whereas the API Economy can exist without the Platform Economy. When it comes to the monopolization and centralization tendencies of platform companies, APIs cannot be disentangled from the massive growth of Big Tech in recent years. Nonetheless, the same features that made their dominance possible also stirred up the competitive landscape, allowing companies of any size to mix and match their APIs with those of others in order to foc.

Book The Political Economy of Underdevelopment

Download or read book The Political Economy of Underdevelopment written by S. B. D. de Silva and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, this reissue deals with the theory of underdevelopment, as Dr. de Silva attempts a synthesis between the internal and external aspects of underdevelopment and, in the Marxist tradition, focuses on the impact of the external on the internal as the dominant reality. Viewing underdevelopment as a problem in the non-transformation to capitalism, this analysis is in terms of the character of the dominant capital and of the dominant classes. Underdevelopment thus encompasses the ‘traditional’ peasant economy and also the export sector where the ‘modernizing’ influence of colonialism was felt. The book finally considers how the contemporary internationalization of capital affected the economies of the Third World.
