This is a position paper identifying the research orientation with a time horizon of 10 years, together with the key challenges for the capabilities in the Management and Service-aware Networking Architectures (MANA) part of the Future Internet (FI) allowing for parallel and federated Internet(s)

Dynamics of banking technology adoption: an application to internet banking

This paper is concerned with examining behaviour of firms (banks) and consumers (banks’ customers) in the event of a new technology (internet banking) introduction. The determinants of consumer adoption of internet banking are characterised using survey data from Korea in both static and dynamic framework. I find evidence that adoption of internet banking is influenced by sex, age, marital status, degree of exposure to internet banking, and the characteristics of the banks. A duration analysis shows no evidence of first mover advantage (order effects) in internet banking whilst the largest bank (rank effects) in commercial banking remains dominant in internet banking. The results imply that the internet banking adoption is dominated by social norm effects

The consumer Internet in South Korea : an American's perspective

Thesis (M.B.A.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, June 2008.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 33-36).This thesis will explore the consumer internet industry in South Korea from the perspective of an American with Western values and sensibilities. South Korea is widely considered to be one of the most connected and internet-savvy countries on Earth, with roughly 90% of the population having high-speed broadband access and the average Korean spending 31.2 hours viewing 4,546 web pages per month compared to 25.2 hours viewing 2,519 pages for the average user globally. Moreover, South Korean portals such as Daum and Naver are two of the most trafficked destinations on the web despite the fact that their content is only available in Korean. Consequently, South Korea has become a valuable testing ground for internet technologies and an important market that can serve as a springboard to the rest of Asia. Yet the consumer internet in South Korean retains a distinct local flavor. For better or for worse, the consumer internet industry in South Korea has been deeply influenced by Confucian principles and Korean culture. The path to success for internet firms in South Korea is often quite different than it is in the West, and foreign firms looking to establish a Korean presence need to adjust their strategies accordingly.by Jeffrey Byun.M.B.A

GLHF: A Brief Overview of Gaming Cafes

My paper is on the history of internet and gaming cafes, focusing on how they are seen today, the problems they face and some potential solutions. Although my focus is on gaming cafes in America, because they are so popular overseas in Asian countries (such as South Korea, China, and Japan), they inevitably come up more often in my paper and presentation

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: Korea\u27s Role in the War against Online Piracy

South Korea is one of the most Internet-savvy countries in the world, with more than 34 million Koreans over the age of six—74.8% of the total population—regularly accessing the Internet. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), as of June 2007, South Korea has the fourth largest number of broadband subscribers at over 14.4 million, behind only Japan, Germany, and the United States, all of which have much higher populations. Studies show the time Koreans spend online is primarily for entertainment purposes, as almost 80% of Korean Internet users report online consumption of audio and video, almost 53% play games online, and 41% are engaged in file transfer. This is facilitated by the second fastest broadband network in the world, with a median download speed of forty-five megabits per second, capable of downloading a five megabyte mp3 music file in less than one second. Internet speeds only continue to improve, as Korea is on the forefront of 4G technology, capable of downloading an entire DVD movie file in less than two seconds wirelessly on a cell phone. The fast speeds and widespread penetration of the Internet in Korea, coupled with a large appetite for media and entertainment, sparks a huge potential for Internet piracy. As one of the leaders in the digital world, Korea should be leading the way as an online marketplace for materials protected by copyright. Instead, Korea falls behind many other developed nations in intellectual property protection, with a large amount of Internet traffic devoted to the unauthorized transfer of copyrighted files. Technological advances are constantly increasing the opportunities for piracy, and without proper government resistance, piracy is becoming firmly embedded as an everyday norm in Korea’s digital economy. This Article will examine Korea’s potential as a model for copyright protection to other nations with its current copyright law and enforcement. Part I provides a brief background on the extent of piracy in Korea. Part II will look to the past, providing a background on the extent of piracy in Korea and the historical development of Korean intellectual property (IP) laws. Part III will look to the present status of Korean IP law and enforcement, economic solutions to piracy that domestic companies have used in lieu of weak IP enforcement, and the impact of the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement on Korean IP law. Part IV looks to the future with proposed suggestions on how Korea can improve its enforcement of IP, and how foreign businesses can better protect their own IP within the current legal framework

How Design Plays Strategic Roles in Internet Service Innovation: Lessons from Korean Companies

In order to survive in the highly competitive internet business, companies have to provide differentiated services that can satisfy the rapidly changing users’ tastes and needs. Designers have been increasingly committed to achieving user satisfaction by generating and visualizing innovative solutions in new internet service development. The roles of internet service design have expanded from a narrow focus on aesthetics into a more strategic aspect. This paper investigates the methods of managing design in order to enhance companies’ competitiveness in internet business. The main research processes are to: (1) explore the current state of internet service design in Korea through in-depth interviews with professional designers and survey questionnaires to 30 digital design agencies and 60 clients; (2) compare how design is managed between in-house design groups and digital design agencies though the case studies of five Korean companies; and (3) develop a taxonomy characterizing four roles of designers in conjunction with the levels of their strategic contributions to internet service innovation: visualist, solution provider, concept generator, and service initiator. In addition, we demonstrate the growing contributions of the strategic use of design for innovating internet services, building robust brand equity, and increasing business performance.
