Business ecosystem is becoming more inclined towards platform ecosystem, which attracts multi-side participants based on digital technology. The burgeoning interest in digital ecosystem leads to the rapid rise of research. In this paper, we suggest a research agenda, focusing on the benefits of complementors in platform ecosystem. First, we outline the extant papers on benefits from platform to participants from economic perspective, strategic management perspective, technology management perspective, and economic sociological perspective to provide comprehensive understanding about platform ecosystem. Second, we suggest systemic framework to provide integrative insights on the the topic of benefit from platform to complementors- (1) open innovation view, (2) economic performance view, and (3) sociological view. Specifically, we focus on empirical studies that investigate the relationship between the benefits from platform and spillover effects on complementors based on various dataset. In addition, by reviewing the past empirical research, we suggest future research agenda and implications for policy in platform ecosystem.

With the boom of platform businesses, digital transformation has become the most important topic for businesses. Digital transformation has now become the most urgent strategy for survival, from a strategy considered as an option to choose in the past. Many companies are desperately seeking the ways to be digitally transformed. Even though there have been many studies on digital transformation, most of them are on strategic and conceptual model levels based on simple case analyses. In this study, we analyze the benefits of data integration and network effects from it, based on platform business model at the core of digital transformation. The change based on platform can be categorized into the internal one for the integration of data and better decision making, and the external one for the expansion of the businesses and better prediction of consumer behaviors through the integration of external data sets by the platform business model based enterprises. While the progress for digital transformation is not mature enough yet, financial industry is one of the most promising industries for the change and realization of the aim of it with its relatively much more advanced IT infrastructure. Many companies are making various efforts for the integration of external data, and if the good results can be accomplished, financial industry will contribute to the advancement of digital transformation in other industries as well. For "My Data" project by Korean government, we suggest the data structure and transaction of data (of Korea) should be advanced and established more quickly.

전자상거래는 긴 역사에도 불구하고, 최근의 기술적 발달과 함께 COVID-19로 촉발된 사회경제적 변화로 인해 다시 한번 급속한 성장과 더불어 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 이러한 과정에서 소상공인들을 비롯한 판매자들은 전자상거래에 참여하여 판매를 하고자 노력하고 있다. 하지만 오프라인 상거래와는 달리, 온라인에서의 판매는 디지털 데이터를 비롯하여 정보통신(IT)에 대한 이해가 수반되어야 용이한 특징을 지닌다. 이에, 본 연구는 판매자를 돕기 위해 개발된 판매 보조 도구가 실제로 온라인에서 판매자들의 실적을 돕는지 알아보고, 이에 따라 전자상거래 플랫폼 운영사는 판매자의 판매를 어떤 방식으로 도와 성공적으로 플랫폼을 운영할뿐만 아니라 사회 전체적인 경제 효익을 증대시킬 수 있는지에 관한 시사점을 주고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 전자상거래에서 판매자에게 의사결정에 도움이 되는 도구들이 제공되어 이를 사용할 경우에 판매액(매출)를 비롯한 다양한 성과 측정 척도에서 유의미한 개선이 이루어지는가를 실증적으로 분석하고자 한다. 엄밀한 분석을 위해 성향점수매칭법과 이중차분법을 활용하여 판매자들의 데이터를 분석할 것이다. 이를 통해 의사결정 지원 시스템이 전자상거래 판매자에게도 유효한지 실증적으로 알아보고, 나아가 전자상거래 플랫폼 운영사에게도 경영 측면에서의 시사점을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

This paper is a study to analyze when ISV(independent software company) has more active participation in the platform ecosystem. According to previous studies, companies are active in technological innovation when they can appropriate the outcome of innovation and when they have complementary assets (marketing, manufacturing capabilities, etc.) that can convert the innovation into value. The effect of these two conditions to join platform ecosystem is investigated. The duplication between the ISV's product portfolio and platform service is also included as an independent variable. The two sample groups are composed of independent SW companies that signed a partner agreement with platform companies and non-participating companies in the platform. As a result of empirical study, it is found that the patent rights do not affect participation in the platform. The ISVs might have believed that the benefits from cooperation with platform companies are greater than the risks of exposure to innovative technologies and unique Biz models. On the other hand, downstream's capability and the duplication of product portfolio affect participation in the platform. If ISVs have the downstream capability to transform cooperation into value creation, ISVs are actively participating in the platform. In addition, cooperation is active when the product portfolio is complementary to platform service rather than competition. This study is the empirical study of open innovation between Korean independent software companies and digital platform companies. There are similar prior studies abroad, but there are no similar studies in Korea. It is meaningful in that the determinants of platform ecosystem participation were investigated through empirical analysis by composing a sample group of companies participating in the platform ecosystem and companies not participating in the platform ecosystem.

Under the digital economy, companies are facing a new business environment. Previous studies with a traditional perspectives on start-ups explained they are at a disadvantaged compared to large companies in mobilizing resources and building new relationships. However, recent researches on the digital economy and platform ecosystems have suggested that digital platforms can be an efficient means of overcoming the liabilities of smallness and newness for start-up companies. Through platforms start-ups can secure routes to mobilize resources, collect and analyze market information. Especially as various platorms are established within categorized industry or market, unique characteristics and market awareness regarding an individual startup company have been formed. Accordingly there is also an advantage that startup companies have umbrella effect by participating in the platform. From this point of view, this study describes the process by which a start-up company effectively utilizes a platform to overcome the liabilities of newness and smallness through the case the study of 'Genie the Bottle'. The results suggest that platforms play a crucial role for start-ups to secure awareness and legitimacy and grow the market in the beauty industry in which high consumer involvement is dominant.

Due to the advance of artificial intelligence, wide use of RPA(Robotic Process Automation) became inevitable. The purpose of this study is to seek cost management optimization based on RPA which has automatic collection of cost information, timeliness and flexibility. The cost management system based on RPA will be able to optimize and improve the cost management process through the cross-system of cost information recognition and the cloud platform. Following the review of previous researches on the benefit of the RPA-related technology along with the investigation on the problems of current cost management system, this study will suggest a way to adopt RPA to optimize cost management system for the implement of strategic management accounting to support management decision making.
