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.

현재까지 많은 기업들이 정보화를 대세로 인정하고 IT 투자에 막대한 기업 자원을 투입하였다. 특히 닷컴 버블까지 발생했던 지난 몇 년 간 대다수 기업들은 경쟁에서 뒤처지지 않기 위해서 정보화 투자에 대한 효익을 간과한 채 투자에 힘써온 것이 사실이다. 미국의 조사 기관 중 하나인 메타 그룹이 발표한 자료에 따르면 2001년 한 해 동안 전 세계의 대다수 기업들이 IT 투자에 쏟은 투자액만 총 2조 2000억 달러에 달하지만 ROI 등을 고려하여 투자한 기업은 드물었다고 한다. 그러나 세계적인 경기 침체에 따라서 기업 가치에 특별한 효익을 가져다주지 못하다고 판단한 기업들은 IT 투자를 축소하고 있거나 투자 효익에 대한 검증을 원하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 평가 방법론 중 대표적인 방법론으로 성과 중심의 BSC(Balanced Scorecard) 방법론, 프로세스 관점에서의 CMM(Capability Maturity Model) 방법론, 운영 관점의 6 시그마 방법론에 대해서 서로 비교 분석해보고 특히 6 시그마 방법론이 두 방법론들 사이에서 제시해 줄 수 있는 공통 관계 및 인과 관계를 분석함으로써 성과 관리 및 프로세스 관리에 대한 관점을 제시하고자 한다.

This study is to set up a hypothesis and a research model based on how much the relational benefits can affect customer satisfaction and long-term relationship with the theoretical and practical results of established precedent researches, to analyze the structural equation model on casual dining restaurant diners, to evaluate the research model and subsequently to provide marketing implications. First of all, social and psychological factors prove to be influential among relational benefits felt by diners-out. Secondly, customer satisfaction has influence on long-term commitment for a restaurant. In other words, the higher customer satisfaction level for a restaurant is, the stronger willingness a customer has to recommend or revisit the restaurant, as several precedent studies support. As demonstrated in indirect advantages, these social and psychological benefits felt by diners-out have mighty effects on long-term relationship orientation, and satisfaction levels prove to be an important medium which can make these influences. As a result, restaurant employees' attitude toward customers is the most important factor rather than economic benefits such as reduced price, free gifts and coupons are, since customers put social and psychological benefits forward like intimate terms with restaurant workers, a sense of stability, and a relief from uneasiness. Therefore, constant service education should be done from the start to cope with customers' demands fast and flexibly and increase customer satisfaction.

This study empirically investigated inter-relationships among the influence factors on the adoption of e-commerce, which are classified as cause factor (i.e., perceived environmental uncertainty and competition), facilitators (i.e., perceived economic benefits, inter-organizational trust, suppliers' pressure and capability and asset specificity) and support factor (i.e., top management's support and organizational resource capability). The results of regression analyses showed that competition, inter-organizational trust, suppliers' pressure and capability, top management's support, and organizational resource capability have a positive impact on the adoption of e-commerce. In the analyses of inter-relationships among the influence factors, it was found that perceived environmental uncertainty positively influences suppliers' pressure and capability and perceived economic benefits, and competition has a positive impact on asset specificity. It was also observed that perceived economic benefits, inter-organizational trust and suppliers' pressure and capability positively affect top management's support, and inter-organizational trust and suppliers' pressure and capability have a positive impact on organizational resource capability. With mediating regression analyses, it was found that competition has an indirect impact on the adoption of e-commerce through the effect on perceived economic benefits, suppliers' pressure and capability, organizational resource capability and top management's support. The results of mediating regression analyses also showed that suppliers' pressure and capability and perceived economic benefits have indirect effects on the adoption of e-commerce through the effects on top management's support and organizational resource capability. From these results, it is concluded that intense competition causes the activation of facilitators, and the facilitators contribute to both the enhancement of top management support and the creation of organizational resource capability, which are directly linked to the adoption of e-commerce.
