Is five too many? Simulation analysis of profitability and cost structure in the Korean mobile telephone industry

A dynamic competition analysis on the Korean mobile phone market using competitive diffusion model

“…It was pointed out in a public hearing in Congress that some of the service providers may become insolvent due to excessive competition and duplicated investments (Song & Kim, 2001). The large initial investment and aggravation of short-run profitability had raised the need for M&A among the service providers.…”

“…As it is briefly described above, mobile telecommunication markets are experiencing the keenest competition in Korea (Song & Kim, 2001;Choi, Lee, & Chung, 2001) and this paper is an attempt at analysing the aspects of the Korean mobile phone market's growth using the diffusion model.…”

Researching at the Intersection of Innovation, Operations Management, and Entrepreneurship

“…This literature has a long tradition of exploring the effective and efficient use of knowledge-management systems (e.g., Chow et al, 2005;Gunasekaran & Ngai, 2007), and given the importance of knowledge for opportunity identification and exploitation, it seems reasonable to assume that such systems can complement the entrepreneurial process. In addition, the more recent development of systems based on artificial intelligence (e.g., Kuo et al, 2002;Pinson et al, 1997) and simulation techniques (e.g., Kull & Closs, 2008;Montes et al, 2011;Song & Kim, 2001) can provide tools that (corporate) entrepreneurs can use to make better decisions in terms of both creating optimal outputs for the firm and matching decision makers' preferences to potential opportunities. However, few entrepreneurship scholars have studied the (potential) role of these computer-based systems in the entrepreneurial process or their complementarities and interactions.…”

“…The payoffs for entrepreneurial action include, exploiting a potential opportunity and being right, exploiting a potential opportunity and being wrong, not exploiting a potential opportunity and being right, and not exploiting a potential opportunity and being wrong. For example, operations management research has drawn on simulation techniques for profitability analysis (Montes, Martin, Bayo, & Garcia, 2011;Song & Kim, 2001) and has analyzed the consequences of supply chain failures (Kull & Closs, 2008). Perhaps these systems can serve as a basis for developing simulation processes for the type I and type II errors resulting from exploiting a potential opportunity.…”

An econometric analysis of mobile services growth across regions of India

“…However, empirical studies of cellular market growth are much more limited in number [3][4][5]. The development of models to explain the growth of mobile services, especially in evolutionary markets such as India is critical for policy formulation, capacity planning and introduction of new services.…”
