Abstract

In the Internet age, the digital cultural industry is booming, start-up companies want to win a place in the fiercely competitive red sea market of the Internet, innovative business models have become an important challenge and opportunity for countless companies. Taking the virtual idol "Hatsune Miku" as the example, the analysis is carried out at the levels of technological innovation, value proposition, resource combination, operation process and marketing model. By comparing the differences between the first-generation software Meiko of Crypton and the second-generation software "Hatsune Miku", we will study the components of the business model to explore the characteristics and advantages of this business model, and in-depth operation models and innovations. The analysis is expected to provide a substantial reference for other electronic product and software development companies in their business models.

인터넷 시대에 접어들면서 디지털 문화 산업이 크게 발전하고 있으며, 창업 회사가 인터넷 시장이라는 레드 오션에서 자리를 잡기 위한 혁신적인 비즈니스 모델은 많은 기업들이 직면한 중요한 도전과 기회이다. 본 연구는 가상 아이돌 하츠네 미쿠를 출발점으로 하여 기술 혁신, 가치 주장, 자원 조합, 경영 프로세스와 마케팅 모델 등을 분석한다. 구체적으로 크립톤(Crypton) 회사의 1세대 소프트웨어 Meiko와 2세대 소프트웨어 하츠네 미쿠의 차이에 대한 비교를 통해 비즈니스 모델의 구성 요소를 연구하고, 이를 통해 해당 비즈니스 모델의 특징과 장점을 탐구하며, 경영 모델과 창의적 부분에 대한 심층 분석으로 기타 전자 상품과 소프트웨어 개발 회사의 비즈니스 모델 구축에 실질적인 참고를 제공하고자 한다.
