Questions on Convergence Phenomena Why does convergence occur? What is the message we could obtain from the theory? Is it Evolving? What are the dynamic forces and inhibitors behind? Do we need a theory to explain the dynamics? 21

2. Evolutionary Dynamics of Convergence Hyper-competition View of Convergence Change Management View of Convergence Stage Model View of Convergence Dynamic Market Interactions 23
Hyper-competition View of Convergence Convergence is a Kind of Hyper-competition. Hyper-competition = Dynamic Strategic Interaction A Dynamic View to Hyper-competition.* Profit Exploitation Profit Move on to another innovation Attack Counter Attack Implications time time Every advantage is eroded Sustaining advantage can be a deadly distraction The goal is disruption, not sustaining advantage Seizing the initiative with a series of small steps * R. A. D Aveni, Hypercompetition: Managing the Dynamics of Strategic Maneuvering, The Free Press, 1994. 24
2. Evolutionary Dynamics of Convergence Hyper-competition View of Convergence Change Management View of Convergence Stage Model View of Convergence Dynamic Market Interactions 25
Change Management View of Convergence Convergence is a Kind of Change Process. Fairness Optimal direction for change Driver FR (Functional Risk) Targeted change Inhibitor Old PR (Political Risk) A Real change Efficiency Inhibitor Conditions for a successful change Small functional risk Small political risk Small friction Driver 26

Stage Model View of Convergence Convergence Is Evolving Stage by Stage! Stage 4: What s Next? (2008~ ) Driven by whom? What kind of services and applications? Increasing Complexity Stage 3: Infrastructure Convergence (2005~ ) Driven by BcN consortia like Octave, UbiNet, etc FMC services, W-CDMA video, IP-TV, u-work, TPS/QPS, USN applications, T-Commerce/Banking, T-Entertainment Stage 2: Service Convergence (2003~ ) Driven by large telcos like KT, SKT, KTF, LGT, MSOs,... OnePhone, DMB, telematics, m-banking, ITS, web-tv, media player, data broadcasting, etc Stage 1: Device Convergence (2001~ ) Initiated by device manufacturer/system vendors like Samsung, LGE, etc DVD/VCR combo, multifunction terminals, digital home appliances and networks Time 28
