Abstract
As the importance of symbiosis and cooperation in mobile manufacturing and service industries is increasing, the concept of mobile ecosystems has been especially highlighted. The mobile manufacturing and service industries interact with each other to produce value-added and synergy effect, constructing ecosystems. In this respect, the structure of mobile ecosystems becomes quite complex and the identification of ecological roles need to understand ecosystem relationships among mobile industries. Thus, this study aims to explore the dynamic change of the mobile ecosystems for identifying the trends of mobile industries in the case of Korea. First, a change in the structure of mobile ecosystems is visualized in terms of network topology. Second, the impact and ecological roles of manufacturing and service industries are identified using the centrality analysis and brokerage analysis. From these results, the dynamic change map is constructed for identifying the history of Korea's mobile ecosystems as well. As a result, this dynamic analysis of mobile ecosystems is expected to help policymakers monitor the change in impact and network position of mobile manufacturing and service industries.
