讲座简介：

We witness two popular IoT infrastructure modes in reality. In the first mode, the manufacturer builds its own IoT infrastructure and produce IoT products based on it, such as Apple and Xiaomi. In the second mode, an e-commerce platform builds the IoT infrastructure, such as Amazon and Alibaba, and then the manufacturer produces IoT products based on the platform’s IoT infrastructure. We call the first mode as MIoT mode and second mode as PIoT mode. We answer the question which mode a manufacturer should choose from the perspectives of the role of data pricing right and consumer privacy concern. We consider a context in which an upstream manufacturer sells an IoT product to a continuum of consumers via an e-commerce platform. In the MIoT mode, only the manufacturer can access consumers’ IoT usage data, then it can choose whether to sell the data to the e-commerce platform. In the PIoT mode, both the manufacturer and the platform have access to consumers’ IoT usage data, then the consumers have higher privacy concern than in the MIoT mode without data transaction. Besides, in the PIoT mode, the platform can monetize the IoT infrastructure either by charging a license fee or subsidize the manufacturer to increase the product selling quantity so as to benefit more from cross-selling. We find that, when consumers are extremely sensitive or extremely insensitive to their privacy, the manufacturer chooses the MIoT mode; when the consumers’ privacy concern level is medium, the manufacturer adopts the PIoT mode. The platform’s and the manufacturer’s preferences of IoT mode could be aligned or mis-aligned; whereas, the consumers’ and the manufacturer’s preferences are always aligned. We also find that the manufacturer’s use of either IoT mode can generate a win-win-win outcome for the manufacturer, the platform, and consumers under certain conditions. Lastly, the MIoT mode generates more social welfare than the PIoT mode when the consumers’ privacy concern level is low or high enough; otherwise, the PIoT mode generates higher social welfare.
