TruTouch Alcohol Detector: a business model
•
3 likes•2,909 views
These slides use ideas from my (Jeff Funk) class to develop a business model for the TruTouch Alcolol Detector. This detector uses near-infrared spectroscopy to measure the amount of alcohol in a person’s blood. Early adopting customers include safety-critical workplaces and businesses that sell alcohol. The value proposition includes fewer workplace accidents and fewer sales of alcohol to intoxicated individuals. TruTouch can profit from this product through both selling and leasing the product and using its patents to prevent copiers from entering the market.
