XML-based electronic data interchange has potential to impact on reshaping the traditional EDI systems.

We review literature on the servitization based on business ecosystem and internalization with extended servitization framework. We develop and suggest a conceptual framework to understand the servitization. This conceptual framework includes four parts: service competitive strategy(Porter Michael, 1980), product-service-knowledge system(PSKS), value chain, and servitization configuration. To confirm the applicability of this model, six cases are employed.

Recently, B2C e-RA business model is getting the spotlight in the Korean venture industry with a variety of startups in diverse areas. However, e-RA does not work perfect in all kinds of trade settings. Therefore, we conducted a multiple case study to find out the success factors of B2C business model as follows : First, large supplier basis is an important factor that constructs a quasi-perfect competition environment. Second, the high online and mobile accessibility or e-readiness of Korean consumers was also a critical aspect of the success of e-RA. Lastly, e-RA performs best when the supplier switching cost is low and the trading occurs infrequently.
