  • Published : 2012.03.30

Abstract

IT industry is moving into the age of business model. Recently, global companies with innovative business models such as Apple, Facebook prevail. These companies sustain the competitiveness through changing the components of their business model. To study the way of keeping Korean IT companies' edges sharp, it is required to examine the components that bring innovations to their current business model. This study identifies the critical components of business model and provides an analytical business model framework. A comparative case study was employed to examine the characteristics of Korean IT companies' business model through the proposed framework. The result of this study can contribute to increase understanding of the business model of Korean IT companies and to suggest challenges in business model they face.

비즈니스 모델의 시대가 도래하고 있다. 최근에 각광을 받고 있는 애플, 페이스북 등 IT 기업들은 혁신적인 제품 보다는 혁신적인 비즈니스 모델로 성공을 거두고 있다. 글로벌 IT 기업들은 새로운 비즈니스 모델로 높은 성과와 함께 경쟁력을 유지하고 있으나 국내 IT 기업들에게서 이러한 모습은 크게 찾아 볼 수 없다. 국내 IT 기업의 발전을 위해서는 이제 새로운 비즈니스 모델에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 비즈니스 모델의 구성요소들을 파악하고 비즈니스 모델 개편을 위한 분석적인 프레임워크를 제시한다. 그리고 사례 연구를 통해 비즈니스 모델 측면에서 국내 IT 기업들과 해외 기업들을 비교 분석함으로써 국내 기업들의 비즈니스 모델의 특징과 앞으로의 과제를 제시한다. 본 연구의 결과는 국내 비즈니스 모델에 대한 연구를 본격화, 체계화하고 국내 기업들이 향후 효과적인 비즈니스 모델을 갖추어 글로벌한 경쟁에서 생존하는데 일조할 것으로 기대한다.
