In this episode, Gennaro introduces “Business Engineering” as a framework for understanding technological shifts through the lens of business models.
He emphasizes a non-linear approach, focusing on durable business models within emerging technological paradigms rather than "transitional technologies."
“Business Engineering… is really a way to grasp the current technological paradigm, through the lens of the business models that are thick during that paradigm, with a non-linear approach.”
Gennaro illustrates this by drawing a parallel to the rise of the internet. While many predicted browsing to dominate, it was the "search paradigm", unexpectedly, that shaped the commercial web for decades.
