The first order of business for the chief mobile officer is creating a mobile strategy that details the following eight items: Mobile Vision Document the mobile vision (beyond devices and features) and align it with business strategy. Avoid misperceptions by incorporating input from stakeholders (users, lines of business leaders, and IT) to discover the business drivers, benefits, and expectations of mobile in your organization. Innovation Identify mobile potential through user-centric methods (Design Thinking) to illustrate how mobile will bring innovation to the organization. For more information on Design Thinking, please review the white paper and video. Use Cases Establish a two-year plan that describes use cases, prioritization (value/need versus feasibility/ effort), standard plus specialized apps, and initial quick wins that deliver high value. Implementation Select a build, buy, rent, or combination approach based on existing infrastructure, skills, development, projects, and operations. Architecture and Specify the app architectures that best support your mobile apps while ensuring Technology standardization and flexibility. Evaluate a platform concept that considers the back-end systems and future needs (scalability, reusability, user growth, new functionality). Establish guidelines for OS, devices, and functionality (features, sensors, offline, and more). 4 App Development in a Mobile World SECTION 1: Guiding Mobile Initiatives Identify and assess general risk factors and for specific use cases, include awareness and Risk and Security compliance considerations. Identify mobile team and list skills and experience required (development, operations, Team Building administration), note specific skill gaps, and draft a skill development roadmap.

  • Smartphones As Metamedia: a Framework for Identifying the Niches Structuring Smartphone Use
    International Journal of Communication 12(2018), 2793–2809 1932–8036/20180005 Smartphones as Metamedia: A Framework for Identifying the Niches Structuring Smartphone Use LEE HUMPHREYS Cornell University, USA VERONIKA KARNOWSKI LMU Munich, Germany THILO VON PAPE University of Franche-Comté, France This article develops and applies a holistic approach to structure smartphone use. It builds on an understanding of the smartphone as a metamedium containing a multitude of “constituent media” that are applicable in an unprecedented range of contexts. We elaborate on the smartphone’s structure and its uses from two theoretical venture points: an ecological understanding of the evolving media landscape within the metamedium and a mobile phone–centered perspective on differential uses and gratifications of the metamedium as a whole within different contexts. Gibson’s affordance theory permits us to integrate these perspectives to account for smartphone structure and use in terms of niches that emerge out of embodiments and enactments of affordances in varying contexts of use. Keywords: metamedium, mobile communication, theory of the niche, affordance theory, uses and gratifications The smartphone can be understood as the latest manifestation of a decades-old phenomenon: the appearance of mobile counterparts to established stationary electronic devices by which the range of their uses multiplies. This phenomenon has been studied in detail for such preceding technologies as the transistor radio, the portable audio cassette player, mobile game consoles, and the cellular telephone (Goggin, 2010). However, the case of the smartphone as the mobile counterpart to the Internet-connected personal computer goes far beyond its precursors. The range of uses for PCs had already been broader and less clear- cut than that for radios and telephones.

Half of all U.S. adults now have a mobile connection to the web through either a smartphone or tablet, significantly more than a year ago, and this has major implications for how news will be consumed and paid for, according to a detailed new survey of news use on mobile devices by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ) in collaboration with The Economist Group. At the center of the recent growth in mobile is the rapid embrace by Americans of the tablet computer. Nearly a quarter of U.S. adults, 22%, now own a tablet device—double the number from a year earlier. Another 3% of adults regularly use a tablet owned by someone else in their home. And nearly a quarter of those who don’t have a tablet, 23%, plan to get one in the next six months. Even more U.S. adults (44%) have smartphones, according to the survey, up from 35% in May 2011.

This is also true in the mobile phone industry that has been characterised by high rates of product obsolescence. The emergence of the smart phone has changed the landscape, making repair, refurbishment and resell attractive to businesses and consumers. Moreover, emerging modular phone design should allow functional upgrades with low resource wastage. This report investigates the adoption of circular business models within Nordic markets. Producers, retailers, refurbishers, recyclers and resellers tell of their motivation, experiences and the challenges that they face. A special look is taken at consumer and waste law and the challenges and opportunities they represent. The report ends with 17 policy proposals that can accelerate the adoption of circularity in the sector.

Lessons from the Smartphone Wars: Patent Litigants, Patent Quality, and Software Ronald A. Cass* ABSTRACT Commentators, public officials, and scholars have sounded alarms over the smartphone patent wars—hundreds of cases asserting infringement of patents by makers of smartphones and tablet computers—often suggesting broad, categorical “fixes” to problems this litigation reveals. In general, these recoMMendations sweep too broadly, throwing out good claims as well as bad and needed remedies as well as questionable ones. However, calls for attention along two margins promise improvements. One factor, the identity of the enterprise asserting patent rights, already is being used by courts in considering appropriate patent infringement remedies, but its use needs to be refined. The other factor, patent quality— especially in software patents, where the existence of parallel schemes of intellectual property protection exacerbates quality problems—is even more critical to the way the system operates. Addressing the patent quality issue (which is distinct from patent clarity or patent notice) can do more than other reforms to reduce costs without reducing innovation incentives.
