“…Furthermore, the effect of the platform vendor will increase future purchases of products and services, even in the case of devices. This also shows the need for ICT firms to enhance their current lock-in strategies and to develop creative ways of maintaining their installed base (Calzada and Martínez-Santos, 2014; Kim et al , 2015a).…”

“…As emphasized by Shin et al (2015), these characteristics of de facto standards are in line with mobile platform competition. In particular, the market preemption of platform software has been significant for competing in and embracing the overall ICT ecosystem value chain (Kim et al , 2015a). In light of this importance, this study investigates the mobile platform de facto standard characteristics and reveals possible attributes affecting future platform-based purchases.…”

Purpose Using the critical incident technique, this study aims to identify the attributes of a platform as a technology standard and to investigate their effects on platform-based repurchases. Design/methodology/approach Smartphone users’ personal experiences and levels of satisfaction or dissatisfaction were collected and categorized into technology standard attributes to estimate those factors affecting consumers’ intention to purchase platform-based products and services. Findings The study findings show the importance of understanding which attributes are important to promoting future platform-based purchases and maximizing positive experiences when using platform-based products and services. Research limitations/implications Given the effect of the platform vendor on repurchases, and that various lock-in strategies are being implemented, firms attempting to be leaders in the information and communications technology (ICT) ecosystem should seek appropriate strategies to lock-in their installed base. Originality/value Including discussions on the competition in the ICT ecosystem, this study also provides some policy suggestions and contributions for applicability to an integrated approach.

Innovation in Chinese internet companies: A meta-frontier analysis

et al. 2020

The innovation of a particular company benefits the whole industry when innovation technology transfers to others. Similarly, the development and innovation in internet companies influence the development and innovation of the industry. This investigation has applied a unique approach of meta-frontier analysis to estimate and analyze the innovation in internet companies in China. A unique dataset of Chinese internet companies from 2000 to 2017 has been utilized to estimate and compare the innovation over the period of study. The change in technology gap ratio (TGR) and a shift in production function have translated into innovation which was overlooked by previous studies. It is found that the production function of internet companies is moving upward in the presence of external factors such as smartphones invention, mobile internet, mobile payments, and artificial intelligence, etc. Consequently, a sudden increase in TGR is captured due to the innovation of some companies. Hence, the average TE of the industry falls caused by the increased distance of other companies form industry production function. However, the innovation advantage defused when other companies start imitating and the average TE elevates. A steady increase in the TGR index revealed that the continuous innovation-based growth of some companies lifting the production frontier upward. This provides the opportunity for other companies to imitate and provides continuous growth in the industry. This study provides a novel methodological approach to measure innovation and also provide practical implication by empirical estimation of innovation in Chinese internet companies.

“…In addition, as the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Information and Communication were disbanded in Korea, many experts worried that the competitiveness of science and technology and national Information and Communication Technology (ICT) might be weakened [15]. Reflecting on this issue, in 2013, the Korea government established the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), an institute responsible for the deliberation, resolution, and adjustment of national R&D. Compared with the National Science and Technology Committee, which was formerly the NSTC, the NSTC is the organization that much focuses more on deliberation [16].…”

As the Korean government expands the budget for national research and development, the need for an institute that deliberates, coordinates, and operates research development and its budget has increased. In response to these demands, the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) was recently established. However, to achieve a creative economy, which is the economic system where value is based on novel imaginative qualities rather than the traditional resources of land, labor, and capital, more efficiently, fundamental research regarding the current state of the Korean national administration system of science and technology in Korea is required. Accordingly, this study first analyzes the function and organizational structure of the NSTC in Korea. Second, it investigates the current state of the NSTC in other countries. Finally, the study derives several implications for improving NSTC operation based on the benchmarking study and suggests an operational improvement plan for NSTC with respect to enhancement of function, operation of organization, human resource management, and improvement of the relationships between other departments. The study contributes to analyze the current state of the NSTC in Korea and science and technology (S&T) Councils in other major countries, systematically and in detail. In addition, based on benchmarking study, this study derived operational improvement of NSTC in Korea with four perspectives, including enhancement of function, operation of organization, human resource management, and improvement of the relationships between other departments.
