This book delves beneath the headlines surrounding the Internet of Things and examines the emergent potential that will, based upon massive data flows harvested from a myriad of devices at home, in the workplace and just about anywhere, engender radical restructuring not only of industries, companies and business models but wider society in general.Paul G. Nixon, Principal Lecturer in European Studies, The Hague University of Applied Sciences, The Netherlands.In this very accessible, but comprehensive, book, De Saulles argues convincingly that the Internet of Things (IoT) will bring about a radical restructuring of industries and business models driven by the massive inflow of data and the subsequent analytical insights that this affords. De Saulles takes us through the historical and technological developments that underpin the IoT, to its current implications for new business patterns and the opportunities offered through big data analytics, as well as the ethical and social challenges that such opportunities pose. Illustrated throughout with pertinent case studies, this book is a great teaching resource, as well as an essential read for anyone interested in the subject.Louise Cooke, Reader in Information & Knowledge Management, Loughborough University, UK.
