Mobile Communication Industry

With the improvements in communication technologies and the increased need for mobile communication among users, the mobile communication industry has been faced with fast-paced developments in the last few decades. The developments in mobile communication technologies provide opportunities that cannot be provided by traditional communication tools. Mobile applications are considered examples of such opportunities. The services offered by mobile phone technologies are diversified by the mobile applications that can be downloaded through digital platforms, and with these applications smart-phone users become even more active users. The current chapter reports findings from a study that employed a structured online questionnaire with 271 smart-phone users. The findings revealed that mobile application use, either free or paid, is explained by the period of smart-phone use, attitudes toward mobile applications, financial cost, and opinion leadership. Furthermore, free applications are more frequently used when the innovativeness increases and the perceived application cost decreases. The results present important outcomes for mobile companies, the digital platform providers, as well as mobile application producers.

High Speed Railroad

Uncertainty in a contract for some BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) projects may allow an opportunistic developer to take advantage of information asymmetrical factors, long-term external changes, and agency dilemma to request renegotiation and to alter the contact after it has been awarded. Such requests often entrap the government in hold-up problems and result in improper payments to the developers and may even create general public dissatisfaction with a project. In this paper, the Game Theory model is used to analyze the Taiwan High Speed Railroad project to examine how developers implement different strategies at the various stages of a project to alter the contract's conditions in order to continually creating competitive advantage after they have been awarded the contract. This project developer is now facing serious financial difficulties. In this study, the financial information on the Taiwan High Speed Railroad operations was used as the foundation for conducting a simulation to calculate the project's value after this project began operation. The results will serve as reference to the best decision-making strategy for renegotiating costs in competition and cooperation so that a developer can select the optimum project offering the maximum reward. Also, the result will be offered to industries involved in market competition or act as an approach to establish future BOT policies on renegotiation.

The Impact

This paper examines the case of Nokia as a player of the mobile communication industry and provider of mobile communication system: Mobile handsets (consumer goods) and mobile networks (CoPS). Our aim is to analyze the impact of strategic management and dynamic capability developed by a firm of such an industry, which supports the entire system and manages inter-industry differences of consumer goods and CoPS. Recent convergence among technologies has raised competition among firms. Achieving and sustaining competitive advantage in this converging market is therefore possible by identifying threats and then developing strategies and capabilities to resolve them. This article concludes by examining how the firm can achieve its competitive advantage.
