Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered one of the most important trends, drivers, and enablers for business transformation. The field of logistics is affected manifold by this novel trend promising competitive advantages and growth. This chapter addresses an innovation value chain framework that relates advanced technology developments to business innovation in the field of logistics. The proposed framework contributes to clarify the complexity within the technology-driven innovation chain and helps organizations define, discuss, and develop their own IoT-driven business model. Based on three case studies, the framework is explained and discussed in terms of its relevance and value for an organization.
