In this paper, we present the use of scenario-based business modelling to explore the market for the fifth generation mobile communication networks (5G). We discuss four scenarios that have been developed in a collaborative effort among different actors in the market. We then describe the approach to build business models and discuss lessons learned and benefits from the novel approach. This approach complements traditional techniques through providing a powerful platform to integrate multi-dimensional change, from technology, regulation, value-chain dynamics, and value proposition evolution. We further conclude that the approach is particularly valuable in environments that are characterized by a high level of uncertainty and complexity.

Research paper thumbnail of Making university-industry collaboration work - a case study on the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories contrasted with findings in literature

To increase the clock speed of incremental innovations and raise the number of radical innovations, university-industry collaborations (UIC) are a powerful means discussed by practitioners as well as by scholars. This paper discusses the approach of the Deutsche Telekom Group (DTAG) of building a UIC by creating a separate organization. This organization consists of R&D personnel both from industry and academia and proves to be effective in channelling innovation potential. Being an organization with its own identity and situated on university premises, the Deutsche Telekom Laboratories (DT Laboratories) offer different ways to overcome the cultural, institutional and operational barriers associated with UIC. The case study validates and challenges findings on UIC in literature. The paper closes with practical advices for the establishment and management of UIC and suggestions for further research in this field.

This paper explores the development and optimization of hybrid business models that leverage the combined potential of AI, AR, and VR in healthcare. We examine the synergies and complementarities of these technologies, focusing on their ability to enhance diagnostics, personalized treatment, and medical training. Furthermore, we discuss implementation challenges, including technological, organizational, and cultural barriers, as well as data privacy, security, and regulatory compliance issues. Drawing from case studies of successful hybrid business models in healthcare, we analyze the factors contributing to their success and provide insights for other healthcare organizations and technology companies. Finally, we offer recommendations for creating and optimizing hybrid business models, addressing implementation challenges, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Our findings contribute to the literature on AI, AR, and VR in healthcare and provide practical implications for healthcare organizations and technology companies seeking to innovate in this rapidly evolving field.
