This could be a wake-up call for companies like Facebook and Google+ which rely on lucrative brand pages and targeted advertising for their income. eWeekEurope November 10, 2011

  6. 2011 Summary • The Business-to-Business (B2B) network of the future will begin to take shape in the next 12 months. • Supplier Network technology will be at the core. • Monetisation by adding value where value is actually created (e.g., no transaction fees). • Supplier discovery services go beyond RFX to provide detailed insights on suppliers • Sourcing will combine and aggregate third party information sources. • All should provide basic supplier enablement, management, registration services to manage • All in a many-to-many manner.

Benefits of Joining the Connected Business Community • Potential economies of scale • Suppliers • Distribution networks • Labour/skills • Technology • Members are encouraged to give preferred rates to fellow cluster members • Ability to take on larger jobs/contracts working with other members (of course need to be aware of risks if contracts fail and should have a contingency plan priory to taking on contracts)

  24. Benefits of Joining the Connected Business Community • Sharing of capacity/resources/ideas (it is understood by members that IPR should be protected when discussing ideas) • Potential to have group discounts when bulk buying • Sharing of knowledge and promoting innovation through sharing ideas • Promotes the development of new companies • Increased number of opportunities/new opportunities/ability to exploit market opportunities • Attract supporting “supplier” businesses

  25. Typical Concerns • Feel obliged to use other cluster members rather than most competitive/competent • (Answer: Create positive culture / up to members to be competitive) • Breakdown of relationship if use outside sources • (Answer: Create an ethical code / use internal mediation team) • Competition with similar cluster members, risk of exclusivity of ideas being compromised, copied or reproduced. • (Answer: Weigh up the risks as you would for any business venture)

  26. Summary – With and Without SMECluster Without SMECluster With SMECluster Enhanced Services Search cluster members for suppliers/partners Ability to share capacity Extended Resources • Normal Practice / Services • Search internet for suppliers/partners • Limited capacity • Limited Resource www.smecluster.com Thank you….
