摘要

物聯網（IOT）可通過現有網絡基礎架構將物理對象轉變為智能設備。這項技術還帶來了無數的商機，預計將創造上萬億美元的產業。本論文的研究目的在於探索發現新興的物聯網技術如何與技術應用中匯流，以及商業模式如何在物聯網時代轉型。物聯網（IOT）已經成為一種顛覆性技術，它通過現有的網絡基礎設施將物理對象轉化為智能設備。這項技術還帶來了大量商機，據信這將創造一個價值萬億美元的產業。本論文的研究目的在於探索物聯網時代新興的物聯網技術如何與其他技術應用相融合，以及商業模式如何在物聯網時代轉型。本論文將使用從Web of Science（科學），Patent（專利技術）和與跟物聯網相關的公司（商業）收集的數據來確定在物聯網領域的技術興起和近期商業化發展。研究結果顯示物聯網已經廣泛應用於通信，人工智慧，綠色能源等領域。從商業角度來看，物聯網公司的主導產品和服務是智能設備，包含智慧家居，智慧車輛和基於物聯網的服務，例如物聯網平台等。本研究透過多層級分析方法及對物聯網技術商業應用的實證研究，為技術匯流、創新研究、商業模式轉型文獻做出了貢獻。

Internet of things (IOT) has become a disruptive technology that turns physical objects into smart devices through existing network infrastructures. This technology also brings tons of business opportunities which is believed to create a trillion-dollar industry. The research aim of this thesis is to discover how the newly emerging IOT technology integrates into other technological applications and how business models transform in the era of IOT. This thesis will use data collected from Web of Science (Science), WebPat (Technology), and IOT-related companies (Business) to identify the technology emergence and recent business development in IOT sector. The results show that IOT has been widely integrated into a number of different fields such as communication, artificial intelligence, green energy, etc. From a business perspective, the dominant products and services of IOT companies are smart devices such as smart homes, smart vehicles and IOT-based services such as IOT platform. The research contributes to the literature on innovation studies through its rich mix of methods and its empirical focus on results of IOT technological emergences. It also contributes with comparative design. The results will be disseminated broadly with both scholarly and management audiences, and will contribute to moving global innovation forward more quickly by providing information on technology convergence through empirically studying the emergence of internet of things.
