Com. Products sold at eBay can be delivered to buyers at their convenience through the physical logistics infrastructure of Amazon. This way, both eBay and Amazon get more capabilities 23 24 T H E N E W AG E O F I N N OVAT I O N to serve one consumer at a time. In order to serve that one consumer better, they constantly search for resources from a wider range of firms. com has also started to commercially lease capacity in its IT infrastructure to small firms who can use it to make their individual products and services available to consumers.
The more detailed (granular) our understanding of the activities that constitute a business process and more explicit the logical linkages among those activities, the better. Granularity allows for fine-grained changes to the business process and enhances clarity to each activity and action. Similarly, the more modular the building blocks of the business processes, the better. Modularity of business processes enables easier change and connectivity to other processes. BUSINESS PROCESSES AND ICT ARCHITECTURE As digitization permeates every aspect of business, most business processes are enabled by the ICT architecture.
The lower two layers of ICT architecture focus on standardization and efficiency. Often, some or all parts of these layers can be managed by third parties. These ICT layers also span beyond the firm to include suppliers and partners and increasingly even reside outside the firm. Firms can no longer differentiate themselves based on their choice of standard hardware boxes, operating systems, or databases. BUSINESS PROCESSES While these layers are not a source of competitive differentiation, they can be a source of complexity.
