In this seminar, Irene Ng discusses the economics, social, business and value concepts behind the engineering of the 3 multi-sided markets of the HAT , soon to be deployed live (see http://hubofallthings.com). Through a service-dominant logic approach, she explains the thinking behind the creation of a market for personal data and the challenges encountered.
