c The concept of Smart Company The concept of Everything is becoming lighter, faster, difficult to possess and impossible to control: products are turning into services and services into ecosystems, platforms and shared protocols supported by automation. The value of intangible elements such as skills, emotions and information is increasing while the role of tangible elements is declining. The Ghost Company S mart Companies are companies that utilise the exponential technologies to re- invent their business models. A business model describes the way in which an organisation creates, distributes and gathers value. In other words, it is a combination of organisational and strategic solutions by which the enterprise obtains a competitive advantage57. T he impact of the exponential technol- ogies forces a change in the competitive paradigm, revolutionising the way in which goods and services are produced or provid- ed. Innovation is an ongoing process and is an integral part of the company U nlike traditional companies whose sole objective is revenue, smart companies of- ten have other objectives that can take precedence over revenue. 32 REPORT: Smart Company Corporate evolution with the fourth industrial revolution Intellectual property: Casaleggio Associati REPORT: Smart Company Corporate evolution with the fourth industrial revolution Intellectual property: Casaleggio Associati 33
