With the recent advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the importance of the platform business is increasing. Most global companies with high market value are known as platform companies. This change is changing the business model of companies in various industries. However, existing studies have mainly focused on information-intensive industries and large companies. Therefore, this study attempted to analyze the case of Everybot, which is successfully growing in the service robot industry. Everybot is known as a company that produces robot cleaners. However, according to the result, the company has focused on developing autonomous driving technologies and pursuing platform-based business strategies rather than product-based ones. The results of this study have theoretical and practical implications by showing how domestic small and medium-sized robot companies apply platform-based business strategies to achieve long-term growth with gaining leadership in the personal service robotics market.

This study aims to propose management items and implementation plans that can be used to manage the following topics: what components should be managed to ensure effective implementation of design leadership, which is critical to today's business management? And are all parts of a company established in accordance with the brand concept, thereby ensuring brand-oriented design leadership? Firstly, this study divided the components of design leadership management into, in a broad sense, vision, culture and platform, established sub-components that should be considered in managing each higher component, and suggested implementation plans for each component. Secondly, the implementation plans for each component were classified into workforce structures, development of brand penetration programs, distribution of time and material resources and application of identity programs. Also, each classified item was further categorized and detail implementation plans for each item were suggested. The outcomes of this study can be utilized as guidelines to evaluate whether each component is properly managed in implementing design leadership. It is also expected that these will serve as useful guides for designers, managers and consultants.

The sharing economy has emerged as a new form of consumption pattern along with the advancement of information technology and the changes in the consumers' desires for economic spending. In a C2C-sharing economy platform, the user side and supplier side share the same assets, thereby making both sides of the market closely related. However, an information asymmetry exists within the platform that makes the players from one side reluctant to participate. This information asymmetry warrants a strategic approach for solving the fundamental "chicken and egg" problem for platform development. Motivated by this phenomenon, this study aims to analyze how the participation intentions from both sides of the platform are influenced by certain anteceding factors, such as trust, perceived risk, and perceived economic profit. Our findings show that the anteceding factors affect the participation intentions in different paths for both sides of the platform. As a managerial implication, these findings highlight the necessity of employing different approaches for each side of market development.

Recently, the global insurance industry is rapidly developing digital transformation through the use of artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing, and deep learning. As a result, more and more foreign insurers have achieved the success of artificial intelligence technology-based InsurTech and platform business, and Ping An Insurance Group Ltd., China's largest private company, is leading China's global fourth industrial revolution with remarkable achievements in InsurTech and Digital Platform as a result of its constant innovation, using 'finance and technology' and 'finance and ecosystem' as keywords for companies. In response, this study analyzed the InsurTech and platform business activities of Ping An Insurance Group Ltd. through the ser-M analysis model to provide strategic implications for revitalizing AI technology-based businesses of domestic insurers. The ser-M analysis model has been studied so that the vision and leadership of the CEO, the historical environment of the enterprise, the utilization of various resources, and the unique mechanism relationships can be interpreted in an integrated manner as a frame that can be interpreted in terms of the subject, environment, resource and mechanism. As a result of the case analysis, Ping An Insurance Group Ltd. has achieved cost reduction and customer service development by digitally innovating its entire business area such as sales, underwriting, claims, and loan service by utilizing core artificial intelligence technologies such as facial, voice, and facial expression recognition. In addition, "online data in China" and "the vast offline data and insights accumulated by the company" were combined with new technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data analysis to build a digital platform that integrates financial services and digital service businesses. Ping An Insurance Group Ltd. challenged constant innovation, and as of 2019, sales reached $155 billion, ranking seventh among all companies in the Global 2000 rankings selected by Forbes Magazine. Analyzing the background of the success of Ping An Insurance Group Ltd. from the perspective of ser-M, founder Mammingz quickly captured the development of digital technology, market competition and changes in population structure in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, and established a new vision and displayed an agile leadership of digital technology-focused. Based on the strong leadership led by the founder in response to environmental changes, the company has successfully led InsurTech and Platform Business through innovation of internal resources such as investment in artificial intelligence technology, securing excellent professionals, and strengthening big data capabilities, combining external absorption capabilities, and strategic alliances among various industries. Through this success story analysis of Ping An Insurance Group Ltd., the following implications can be given to domestic insurance companies that are preparing for digital transformation. First, CEOs of domestic companies also need to recognize the paradigm shift in industry due to the change in digital technology and quickly arm themselves with digital technology-oriented leadership to spearhead the digital transformation of enterprises. Second, the Korean government should urgently overhaul related laws and systems to further promote the use of data between different industries and provide drastic support such as deregulation, tax benefits and platform provision to help the domestic insurance industry secure global competitiveness. Third, Korean companies also need to make bolder investments in the development of artificial intelligence technology so that systematic securing of internal and external data, training of technical personnel, and patent applications can be expanded, and digital platforms should be quickly established so that diverse customer experiences can be integrated through learned artificial intelligence technology. Finally, since there may be limitations to generalization through a single case of an overseas insurance company, I hope that in the future, more extensive research will be conducted on various management strategies related to artificial intelligence technology by analyzing cases of multiple industries or multiple companies or conducting empirical research.

KakaoTalk, a Korean mobile instant messenger service launched by KAKAO Inc., has grown remarkably popular in a short period of time, with its number of subscribers exceeding 100 million as of July 2013. Today, KakaoTalk is an everyday communication tool among most Korean mobile users. Although KAKAO has been the subject of many business and consumer studies, the KakaoTalk platform strategy has not been studied thoroughly. In this study, we analyze its platform strategy through the lens of several widely utilized frameworks such as Platform Leadership (Gawer & Cusumano 2002, 2008), Winner-take-all dynamics (Eisenmann et al. 2006), and Open Service Innovation (Chesbrough 2011). Our results show that Eisenmann et al (2006)'s "Winner-Take-All" platform best explains how KakaoTalk dominated its rivals, Mypeople by Daum Communications and Line by Naver Corporation. In surpassing its rivals, KAKAO delivered a solution to the 'essential problem' that mobile social communication should be upgraded from mobile companies' paid "Short Message Service" (SMS). By doing so, KakaoTalk fulfilled the first requirement of Gawer & Cusumano (2008)'s "Coring" strategy, which explains how a new platform is created. KakaoTalk also satisfied the second requirement of "Coring" by providing economic incentives for KakaoTalk members to interact through its Games and Items store. Actively accepting its customers' ideas and upgrading its services, KAKAO reinforced its platform leadership to its customers and put Chesbrough (2011)'s "Outside In - Open Service" innovation strategy into practice.

The continued development of smart devices representing smart phones and tablet PC has made significant changes to the ICT ecosystem. Along the development of smart devices, consumers' needs are also becoming increasingly diversified in addition to their rising expectations. Thus, in order to fulfill the changing customer needs, corporations in the ICT ecosystem have recently focused on appcessory products that are interlinked and utilized in existing smart devices. This study particularly analyzes the two corporations, Samsung Electronics and SK Telecom, which recently plunged into appcessory business. By the case study of these two companies based on the theories of ecosystem and platforms, this study analyzes the current status of the appcessory market, the potentials and significances of the business, business background of the two corporations, and the status of leadership competition in the appcessory market. In the case of Samsung Electronics and SK Telecom, the study shows that both corporations acquired new growth powers in the appcessory market with their entry into existing or other relating markets. Also, since the appcessory business is highly related to their existing businesses, each company was able to take advantages based on the capability that they already possessed and this relationship had positive effects on their overall businesses. In addition, the two corporations had common strategies in increasing their competitiveness by identifying internal weaknesses and building external cooperations. On the other hand, since the two companies have different business areas, their business background, business strategies, and the effects of expectations varied to each other. Thus, this study identifies commonalities and differences between recent smart platforms and corporations' engagement in the fierce leadership competition in the appcessory market.

시대의 흐름에 따라 창업자본주의(entrepreneurial capitalism)의 경향을 보이고 있는 현대사회에서 혁신적인 아이디어와 도전정신을 바탕으로 글로벌 진출을 도모하는 소규모 기업 또는 개인 창업자의 역동적인 창업활동은 창업생태계(Entrepreneurial Ecosystem)에서 새로운 성장 동력 창출로 이어진다. 이러한 창업에 대하여 대학에서 창출된 기업들은 다른 기업들보다 훨씬 높은 성공률을 보이며, 좋은 일자리를 만들고 경제활동을 촉진한다. 이에 따라 우리나라 정부에서도 대학 창업을 촉진하기 위한 노력으로 "대학창업교육 5개년 계획(2013-2017)"과 "2015년도 정부 창업지원 효율화 방안", 그리고 "산학협력 활성화 5개년 기본계획(2016-2020)" 등을 발표하였고, 대학과 연구소 등에서도 대학 창업 활성화에 대한 많은 노력을 기울이고 있지만 여전히 현실적인 한계가 존재한다. 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 본 연구에서는 대학 창업교육의 체계화를 목적으로 변화하는 대학의 역할과 클러스터(cluster), 그리고 창업교육에 대한 이론을 고찰한다. 또한, 미국 혁신대학의 대표적 사례를 중심으로 창의적인 대학문화의 요인을 살펴보고, '창업 성공'과는 다른 '성공적인 창업'을 목적으로 클러스터 관점의 창업교육에 대한 개념적 프레임워크를 제시하고자 한다. 대학 기술기반의 창업 활성화를 위한 통합적 창업교육 플랫폼 구축의 기조(基調)가 되는 클러스터 관점의 창업교육에 대한 개념적 프레임워크는 관련 이론과 사례를 바탕으로 창의적 문화 구축과 효과적인 혁신 창출에 필요한 인재, 기술, 관용이라는 세 가지 요소의 역할이 중심이 되어 창업교육에 수반되어야 할 지역의 창업자원, 창업정책, 그리고 리더십의 클러스터링을 강조하고 있다. 이를 바탕으로 향후 후속연구에서는 통합적 창업교육 플랫폼 차원에서 창업보육센터, 기술지주회사, 기술사업화센터, 창업지원단 등과 같은 대학 내에 존재하는 대표적인 창업활동 주체(조직) 간 효과적인 협력체계 구축과 함께 성공적인 창업을 위한 실행 가능한 방안을 모색해야 할 것이다.
