“…There are numerous initiatives about IoT underway across industry and throughout the world (Gubbi et al, 2013). IoT refers to a network that follows conventional protocols and connects objects via the internet to transmit information for the purpose of realizing intelligent identification of objects, namely, object locating, tracking, monitoring, and management, with supports of radio frequency identification tags, sensors, actuators, and positioning systems (Adam et al, 2010;Jabbari et al, 2009). As an emerging global internet-based information architecture, IoT connects physical objects as a network, in which objects can interact effectively (Li, 2012).…”

Purpose – Guided by the proposed opportunity and resource integrative entrepreneurial growth model, the purpose of this paper is to explore how different opportunity type firms grow integrally and what the laws for different opportunity integration growth modes are. Design/methodology/approach – A multiple case study on six firms in information and communication technologies industry in China is conducted. Findings – Three types of entrepreneurial opportunities exist. These are identification type opportunity, discovery type opportunity, and creation type opportunity. Entrepreneurship among the three types of entrepreneurial opportunities operates under different laws. For each type of entrepreneurial opportunity, firms need to balance the two growth modes, namely, the opportunity identification and assessment/resource allocation mode and the opportunity utilization and resource identification/acquisition mode, in order to achieve a leveraging effect. Research limitations/implications – Vertical comparison is missing. Practical implications – Firms need to balance the two growth modes, namely, opportunity identification and assessment and resource allocation mode and opportunity utilization and resource identification and acquisition mode, to achieve leverage effect. Originality/value – This paper integrates system theory with entrepreneurship research and proposes the opportunity and resource integrative entrepreneurial growth model. This model is helpful, both in aiding firms to follow the laws for entrepreneurial opportunities and to identify entrepreneurial opportunities. The business model plays a vital role in entrepreneurship. Firms taking advantage of the Internet of Things are more likely to gain a competitive advantage and to achieve success in their entrepreneurial activities.

“…Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network that follows conventional protocols and connects objects via the internet to transmit information for the purpose of realizing intelligent identification of object, namely object locating, tracking, monitoring, and management, with supports of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, sensors, actuators, and positioning system (Adam et al, 2010;Jabbari et al, 2009;Li et al, 2013;Cai et al, 2014;Jiang et al, 2014;Fang et al, 2014;Xiao et al, 2014). As an extension of the internet, IoT can connect physical objects as a network, in which objects can interact effectively (Li, 2012;Yang et al, 2014).…”

Purpose – Monitoring the real-time temperature, humidity, and physical position status of goods is vital in the cold chain. Diverse logistics technologies and systems have been adopted in the cold chain for monitoring perishable goods. However, these technologies and systems are independent from each other. Data and information in them are not integrated so that information control is not effective. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – By integrating Internet of Things and tracking technologies, this paper proposes an intelligent tracking system, which is designed to achieve effective and fast live monitoring of goods in the cold chain at the lowest cost and with the largest network capacity and simplest protocols. Findings – Structure and information platform design mechanism are introduced. The key part of this system is a wireless sensor network built on Zigbee. Wireless sensors located in cold storages or refrigerated trucks are able to collect and transmit live data quickly and efficiently. Originality/value – Users of the proposed system can easily monitor goods transported in cold chains. In addition, the system assigns specific servers to save historical data for inquiries.
