12 February 2019
Key research questions
- What are the factors facilitating life insurers’ value generation?

Abstract
Life insurers have long segmented their systems to meet various business requirements such as supporting specific clients (group or individuals), lines of business (term life, pension, employee benefits, health, etc.), or distribution channels (agents, brokers, banks, etc.). Nowadays insurtech and technology startups challenge the traditional insurance value chain and how technology supports insurance capabilities.
