Mastering the Internet of Things

Smart Homes and the Internet of Things are clear and well established trends that will change the way we live in the near future. Whirlpool has just launched a new generation of Smart Appliances that connects to the internet and can be monitored and controlled through an App from smartphones and tablets, offering new features to end consumers. Partnerships between different industries are the key to extract the most value out of this opportunity, so the big question then is who to partner with and why? CEMS students from Bocconi University had the unique opportunity to work on a Business Project with Whirlpool to answer this question. CEMS interviewed the students, professor and company employees involved in the project.
