Abstract

Mobile applications are significantly impacting people's smart phone using behavior and mobile industry value chain. By examining sources of data on mobile applications use, this study presents evidence about what factors would affect the amount of apps download, which may be useful to guide app designers and publishers to develop more persuasive new apps and marketing strategies. The results indicated app ranking had effect on download amount of apps in both Android app market and Apple app store, while prices of apps had no impact on the amount of download. App type, developer experience, and locality had effect on the amount of download only for paid apps in Apple app store.

스마트폰 시장이 성장하면서 모바일 애플리케이션 시장은 잠재력 있는 새로운 시장으로 평가받고 있다. 애플스토어 같은 애플리케이션 시장에서 많은 구매자들이 모바일 애플리케이션을 다운로드 받고 있지만, 아직 소비자의 애플리케이션 다운로드에 대한 주요 연구는 없는 실정이다. 그러므로 이 연구는 스마트폰용 모바일 애플리케이션 다운로드에 영향을 미치는 요소에 대해서 연구를 하자고 한다. 앱 순위는 앱 다운로드에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 가격은 유의적인 영향을 발견할 수 없었다. 앱 유형, 개발자 경험, 지역성은 애플 앱스토어에서만 유료앱 다운로드에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구가 모바일 애플리케이션 비즈니스 구축 및 모바일 애플리케이션 시장 활성화 전략 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
