  • Chapter # 1 Introduction
    Chapter # 1 Introduction Mobile applications (apps) have been gaining rising popularity dueto the advances in mobile technologies and the large increase in the number of mobile users. Consequently, several app distribution platforms, which provide a new way for developing, downloading, and updating software applications in modern mobile devices, have recently emerged. To better understand the download patterns, popularity trends, and development strategies in this rapidly evolving mobile app ecosystem, we systematically monitored and analyzed four popular third-party Android app marketplaces. Our study focuses on measuring, analyzing, and modeling the app popularity distribution, and explores how pricing and revenue strategies affect app popularity and developers’ income. Our results indicate that unlike web and peer-to-peer file sharing workloads, the app popularity distribution deviates from commonly observed Zipf-like models. We verify that these deviations can be mainly attributed to a new download pattern, to which we refer as the clustering effect. We validate the existence of this effect by revealing a strong temporal affinity of user downloads to app categories. Based on these observations, we propose a new formal clustering model for the distribution of app downloads, and demonstrate that it closely fits measured data. Moreover, we observe that paid apps follow a different popularity distribution than free apps, and show how free apps with an ad-based revenue strategy may result in higher financial benefits than paid apps. We believe that this study can be useful to appstore designers for improving content delivery and recommendation systems, as well as to app developers for selecting proper pricing policies to increase their income.

    IDC MarketScape IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Mobile Threat Management Software 2018–2019 Vendor Assessment Phil Hochmuth IDC MARKETSCAPE FIGURE FIGURE 1 IDC MarketScape Worldwide Mobile Threat Management Software Vendor Assessment Source: IDC, 2018 Please see the Appendix for detailed methodology, market definition, and scoring criteria. December 2018, IDC #US44521018 IDC OPINION As mobile security and governance frameworks mature, mobile threat management (MTM) software tools are filling a major security gap many enterprises are discovering across one of their most pervasive technology deployments: smartphones and tablets used by employees. Many organizations see enterprise mobility management (EMM; technology which manages, configures, and monitors mobiles) as the beginning and end of their mobile endpoint security strategy. While many EMM platforms support security functions (compliance checking, VPN connectivity, data security/encryption, and device certificate management, etc.), most EMMs do not actively scan for mobile-related threats on devices. This is where MTM technology comes in, with its ability to address actively misbehaving or malicious apps, as well as OS and network-based attacks on devices. Driving many MTM early adoptions, and among more mature deployments, is the desire to deploy another layer of security to mobile end-user computing in addition to EMM. Among the more than two- dozen MTM customer interviews conducted for this document, 100% of these enterprises deployed their respective MTM products with an EMM platform; nearly all said that meeting existing or potential future compliance requirements was among the top 3 drivers behind their adoption of the technology. These requirements are driving much of the direction of the market from an MTM feature set and overall go-to-market strategy for MTM vendors.

Does correlation in consumer valuations make bundling more or less effective? Does bundling serve as a complement or substitute to network effects? To address these questions, we develop a consumer-choice model from micro-foundations to capture the essentials of our setting, the hand- held video game market. We provide a framework to understand the dynamic, long-term impacts of bundling on demand. The primary explanation for the profitability of bundling relies on homogenization of consumer valuations for the bundle, allowing the firm to extract more surplus. We find bundling can be effective through anovelandpreviouslyunexaminedmechanismofdynamic consumer segmentation,whichoperatesindependent of the homogenization effect, and can in fact be stronger when the homogenization effect is weaker. We also find that bundles are treated as separate products (distinct from component products) by consumers.

  • Apache Ant Best Practices
    08_Lee_ch05.qxd 5/3/06 5:12 PM Page 81 C HAPTER 5 Apache Ant Best Practices This chapter looks in more detail at some best practices for using Ant on real projects. First I describe the use of property files to enable configuration of the build process depending on a user’s role and requirements. I then describe how best to integrate Ant with IBM Rational ClearCase. Finally, I look at some general best practices for supporting the build process on large projects. Aims of This Chapter Apache Ant is a powerful build tool with significant built-in capabilities. However, a few capabil- ities and best practices stand out; they are described here. After reading this chapter, you will be able to • Understand what Ant property files are and how they can be used to make build scripts more maintainable. • Understand how to use Ant’s capabilities to better integrate with IBM Rational ClearCase. • Implement Ant build files that support reuse and maintainability on large projects. This chapter assumes that you are familiar with the basic concepts of Apache Ant that were discussed in Chapter 4, “Defining Your Build and Release Scripts.” Property Files From the perspective of Chapter 4, an Ant build.xml file is a single centralized build file that defines a repeatable process for bringing together an application, usually producing some form of 81 08_Lee_ch05.qxd 5/3/06 5:12 PM Page 82 82 Chapter 5 Apache Ant Best Practices executable output. Although a single build.xml file can be enough to drive the build process, in practice it can quickly become large and unwieldy.

  • The Impact of Digitization on Information Goods Pricing Strategy
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AIS Electronic Library (AISeL) Digitization on Information Goods Pricing The Impact of Digitization on Information Goods Pricing Strategy Full paper Shivendu Shivendu Ran Zhang University of South Florida University of California, Irvine [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The widespread adoption of the Internet and digital technologies has transformed the distribution and consumption of information goods. We develop a parsimonious model to study pricing strategies of a publisher who offers information good in dual medium (physical, digital) as well as in bundled medium. Consumers are heterogeneous in both valuation for content and preference for medium. We develop optimal pricing strategies and identify the interactive effect of different market characteristics on optimal pricing schemes. We show that offering digital medium only (single component) is optimal under some market conditions, while offering bundle of mediums and digital medium only (partial mixed bundling) is optimal under other market conditions. We find that offering information good in physical medium and in digital medium (pure component) is not optimal when the two mediums are partial substitutes. Moreover, offering only the bundle of mediums (pure bundling) is not optimal as long as physical medium has non-negligible marginal cost. Interestingly, it is always profit enhancing to offer digital medium, even if most consumers in the market prefer physical medium. Keywords Information goods pricing, digitization, dual medium access, bundling, heterogeneous preferences of mediums, partial substitutability of mediums Introduction The advent of the Internet and information technology has led to digitization of content industries and, in turn, has transformed the distribution and consumption of information goods.

  • A Comparison of Mobile Application Adoption Between Chinese and Us College Students
    WHY DO WE CHOOSE THIS APP? A COMPARISON OF MOBILE APPLICATION ADOPTION BETWEEN CHINESE AND US COLLEGE STUDENTS Chenjie Zhang A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2018 Committee: Louisa Ha, Advisor Patrick D. Pauken Graduate Faculty Representative Lisa Hanasono Kate Magsamen-Conrad © 2018 Chenjie Zhang All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Louisa Ha, Advisor The present cross-cultural study applies the regulatory focus theory developed by Higgins and modifies the cultural dimensions proposed by Hofstede to explore and compare the relationships between cultural values and the focused strategic means college consumers use in China and the US. In total, 377 Chinese and 403 US college students participated in a survey to reveal the relations between variables of app download and their cultural values. In addition, for a deeper and insightful understanding of the app download behavior, the method of semi-structured interview was used to raise participants’ and the researcher’s consciousness of and critical reflections upon app download processes and experiences. The research results are five-fold: First, Chinese college students share similar scores of four cultural dimensions with the US college students, and there is no difference in indulgence between the two countries. Second, country is a more powerful variable than cultural dimensions in model testing in terms of differentiating consumers’ regulatory focus. US consumers are more likely to be promotion focused and Chinese consumers are likely to be prevention focused. Third, promotion focused consumers are likely to seek both hedonic and utilitarian gratifications, and to heuristically process information.
