The emergence of the mobile internet in Japan and the UK: platforms, exchange models, and innovation 1999ā2011
In 1999 Japanese mobile operator NTT DoCoMo launched arguably the worldās first successful
mobile Internet services portal called āiāmodeā. In Europe at the same time a series of failures
diminished the opportunities to attract customers to the mobile Internet. Even though similar
Internet technologies were available in Japan and the UK, very different markets for services
developed during the initial years 1999ā2003. When the West expected Japanese firms to
become dominant players in the mobile digitalisation of services during the introduction of 3G
networks, it remained instead a national affair. The dominant views of how markets for mobile
services operated seemed flawed.Ā Ā
Soācalled delivery platforms were used to connect mobile phones with service contents that were
often adapted from the PC world. Designing and operating service delivery platforms became a
new niche market. It held a pivotal role for the output of services and competition among
providers.Ā Ā
This thesis sets out to answer a set of interārelated questions: How and where did firms innovate
in this new and growing part of the service economy and how are new business models mediated
by service delivery platforms? It argues that innovation in the digitalised economy is largely
influenced by firms achieving platform leadership through coordination of both technological
systems and the creation of multiāsided exchanges.
This thesis demonstrates from cases of multiāsided markets in operatorācontrolled portals, of
mobile video and TV and of event ticketing in Japan and the UK that defining the scope of the
firm on the network level forms the basis for incremental innovation, the dominant form of
service innovation. A parallel focus on coordinating platform technology choices forms the basis
for firms to trade fees, advertisements, and user data, enabling control over profitable parts of
multiāsided value networks

Mobile Commerce: Assessing New Business Opportunities
Mobile commerce has become the latest topic for today. Business organizations have been restlessly evaluating the revenue potential of the m-commerce market and developing business models to exploit the huge profit potential of this new market. In this project we try to provide an overview of the fundamentals about m-commerce. This paper attempts to help business managers, particularly those without IT background, to understand the key elements and basic concepts of m-commerce and to assess the impact of m-commerce on current and future businesses as well as to identify new business opportunities
Mobile commerce business models and technologies towards success
Mobile commerce is any transaction with a monetary value that is conducted via a mobile telecommunications network. This thesis tries to examine the factors leading to the success of mobile commerce as well as factors that may hinder its success. This research is separated into five parts: In the first part of this thesis, an analysis of wired e-commerce businesses is made; followed by advantages of mobile commerce over wired e-commerce. In the second part of this thesis, new wireless business models that are expected to generate substantial revenue flows as well as some successful examples of these business models are discussed. In the third part of this thesis, advances in wireless technologies that will lead to the success of mobile commerce are discussed. In the fourth part of this thesis, competition strategies and revenue structure of mobile commerce are discussed. And finally, in the fifth part of this thesis, drawbacks of wireless technologies towards the success of mobile commerce as well as how they can be overcome are discussed. The research and the conclusion suggest that although wireless technologies and their related business models are fairly new, they are growing at rapid speed. These are incredible sources of revenue. Once the factors hindering their usability, reliability, development and deployment are overcome, mobile technologies show great potential as revenue generators for both existing and newly developing businesse
Mobile Music Store M-Muze
The introduction of the mobile devices into the electronic commerce arena has allowed
the user to go on the Web as well as shopping on the Web using their cell phones,
Personals Digital Assistants (PDAs) or combo devices without needing a wired Internet
connection and stationary desktop or a laptop computer. In order to give customer's
convenience, service providers and also value-added services include easy, timely
access to information in a way enable customer to make purchase from whenever they
are whenever they are ready. The author here will develop an instant music CD
purchasing via mobile phone application by using Wireless Markup Language (WML)
as a programming tool. The technique that has been adopted is based on Wireless
Application Protocol (WAP) as global standards for mobile solutions. The result of the
study has proven that in order to captivate users' attention towards legal music CD
purchasing through the web via mobile, design of the interface has given an impact
towards the adaptation of content presentation by implementing HCI elements.
Therefore, the design of the interface and content according to one's preference plays an
important role in enhancing users' "browse and buy" experience at any desired time and
needs. The study done towards the implementation of design guidelines for wireless
application which is in general, interface design flaws are platform independent has also
proven that the design best applied depends on the form factors of the wireless mobile
phones.

Agile Based Development Methodology for Mobile Commerce Applications
There are several system development methodologies including traditional and agile methodologies which are being utilized in current systems development. However, it could be argued that existing methodologies may not be suitable for the development of mobile commerce applications as these applications are utilized in different contexts from conventional fixed e-commerce applications such as they are displayed on a small screen device, they are utilized in an unstable or movable environment and they need to be used in a secured environment to deliver financial transactions over mobile network. This study aimed to construct an agile based development methodology for mobile commerce applications. In order to achieve this aim, three objectives have been proposed including identification of essential issues for developing m-commerce applications, construction of a predictable agile based methodology used for developing m-commerce applications and evaluation for its applicability and practicality. The research methodology used in the study is the design research, which include the steps of awareness of problems, suggestion, development, evaluation and conclusion. The research methods used to assist the mentioned research methodology include literature analysis, industry visits, semi-structured interview, survey, formulative research and experimental evaluation. The methodology constructed contains the integration of essential factors in each phase of systems development life cycle as well as guidelines to follow for conducting activities in the application development, including specific models, tools, and techniques. From the evaluation of the constructed methodology, the results showed two essential outcomes. Firstly, the constructed methodology is applicable as it can be used to build the intended system, mobile commerce applications in this case. Secondly, for practicality, it showed that the constructed methodology is practical as when comparing to the traditional waterfall development by using the eleven measurements specified, it exposed more benefits to the development process
