Abstract

This study illustrates and compares the platform strategy of Apple and Samsung, which have been operating their own App stores, by using the $IISI^n$ model. Apple, the first mover of the platform, has employed closed strategy for quality control of the platform and customer loyalty. On the other hand, Samsung has employed open strategy for increasing the platform network effects. The result of this study showed that the platform strategy "Openness", which is a free entry of participants, and "Sharing" of created value, are important along with the excellent platform environment. As a pioneering study of the platform strategy for the co-creation, this research contributes to both theory and practice.

본 연구에서는 개방형 혁신을 추구하고 있는 기업 중 스마트폰 제조업체이면서 앱스토어를 직접 운영 중에 있는 애플과 삼성전자를 대상으로 IISIn model을 이용하여 플랫폼 전략을 분석 비교하였다. 앱스토어의 선도 기업인 애플은 플랫폼의 질적 강화 및 고객 충성도를 높이고 플랫폼 통제권 강화를 위해 폐쇄전략을, 반면에 후발 주자인 삼성전자는 플랫폼의 네트워크 효과 및 선순환 구조의 정착을 위해 개방형 전략을 실시 중이다. 연구 결과 지속적인 선순환 구조가 이루어지기 위해서는 우수한 플랫폼 환경과 더불어 참여자들의 자유로운 진입인 '개방'과 창출된 가치의 '공유'가 보장된 플랫폼 전략을 실시하여야 할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구는 학문적으로 IISIn model을 통하여 애플과 삼성전자의 개방형 혁신 플랫폼을 최초로 비교 분석한 연구하였다는 기여점이 있고, 실무적 측면에서는 후발기업의 개방형 혁신 플랫폼 전략수립에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
