COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EMERGING AND TRADITIONAL IT BUSINESS MODELS IN A GLOBAL LANDSCAPE
Abstract
This research aims to provide a comprehensive comparative analysis of emerging and traditional IT business models within the global landscape, addressing their scalability, sustainability, and the distinct challenges and opportunities each presents. Emerging IT business models, characterized by innovative technologies and disruptive market strategies, contrast significantly with traditional models, which rely on established technologies and stable market approaches. This study explores how these diverse business models adapt to rapid technological advancements and fluctuating market demands, thereby impacting global economic dynamics. By examining various factors such as activity type, organizational structure, ownership, market scope, technological focus, revenue models, and customer base, this paper categorizes IT companies into emerging and traditional sectors. Emerging sectors, driven by digital transformation and new market creation, offer high growth potential but face challenges in market acceptance and regulatory adaptation. In contrast, traditional IT sectors provide stability and incremental innovation but must continually adapt to prevent obsolescence and maintain competitiveness. The paper utilizes a mix of qualitative research methods to analyze the operational, financial, and strategic dimensions of IT companies. Case studies of leading firms in both sectors highlight the practical implications of different business models and their effectiveness in leveraging technological and market opportunities. This research contributes to the understanding of IT business dynamics, offering insights that could influence policy formulation, investment strategies, and corporate decision-making globally. It underscores the importance of strategic adaptability and proactive innovation management in sustaining business growth and competitiveness in the rapidly evolving IT industry.
