8. M2M‘s Impact on the Connected Consumer
m2m Enables Economic Incentives and Influences Positive Consumer Behavior
Recent reductions in the cost to deploy are enabling more
consumer-focused applications
Applications have the potential to make a BIG impact on choices we
make in our daily lives
Applications can produce positive benefits to individuals and society
Many of the new applications are driven by the principles of
behavioral economics
Behavioral economics is a field of economic research that looks at
how individuals make economic related decisions – what does this
really mean….
9. What is Behavioral Economics?
All of economics is meant to be about people’s behavior. Right??
So, what is behavioral economics, and how does it differ from traditional economics?
Traditional Economics
Behavioral Economics
• Conceptualizes the world populated by humans that are
A classic example is the
rational that behave in a way to maximize their difference between opt-in
individual self-interest and opt-out in a program
such as organ donation.
• Framework ignores or rules out virtually all behavior and
If you tell people that they
includes unrealistic traits can opt-in to donating
their organs if they are
killed, a few will feel
Behavioral Economics strongly enough to do it—
most people won't. If you
• Assumes individuals don’t always make “rational” switch that to opt-out the
decisions because of being influenced by other reverse happens—very
few people opt out.
factors/context
• Markets are inefficient
10. Example – How Choices are
Presented Influence Outcomes
• Director of food service for a major city school system
influenced what students ate by changing how the food
was presented in the cafeteria line

consumption of food items by 25% without making
changes to the menu

them toward decisions that benefit themselves and
society is called “libertarian paternalism”

arranging food choices that resulted in healthier
selections- organizing context for decision making
