“…Meanwhile, research has indicated that firms incorporate these smartness characteristics in different ways (Anke, Poeppelbuss, and Alt 2020;Fischer et al 2020;Henkens, Verleye, and Larivière 2021;Poeppelbuss, Ebel, and Anke, 2021;Raff, Wentzel, and Obwegeser 2020). Henkens, Verleye, and Larivière (2021) suggest that the extent to which a smartness characteristic is present may vary from low to high; a smart watch manufacturer, for instance, may decide to integrate one or more sensors into the device (low versus high awareness) to allow it to link with one or more smart products (low versus high connectivity) in order to send one or multiple types of notifications (low versus high actuation) and to allow for the use of one or multiple indicators to learn about behavioral patterns (low versus high dynamism).…”
