Abstract
ABSTRACT Despite the role of digital technologies in increasing the popularity of K-pop, little is known about how K-pop entertainment companies digitally transform their business models and the driving forces that shape this transformation. In this study, we present an in-depth case study of a pioneering K-pop entertainment company, SM Entertainment, whose founder’s charismatic leadership and organizational capabilities contribute to the digital transformation of its business model through market-pioneering strategies and strategic learning derived from continuous interactions with changing business environments. This transition to the digital business model ultimately leads to sustainable competitive advantages in the marketplace. The important theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
期刊介绍：
The growth of the Asia Pacific region and the rising presence of its multinationals in world markets has raised a number of questions about the origins of national economic success. Asia Pacific Business Review addresses these key issues and draws together the lessons of the analysis of culture, economies, history, politics and societies in the area, in order to explore business-related phenomena in the Asia Pacific countries, both in their general and specific contexts. The Review is intended for both academics and interested observers, contains the contributions of recognized experts, and is essential to anyone seeking the latest research on Asia Pacific business in a readily available, approachable form. We welcome articles which deal with nations and societies in the Asia Pacific region, namely those in East Asia and South-East Asia (but not South Asia), including those in APEC and ASEAN, individually or comparatively. Of interest also are contributions on the Asia Pacific economies, comparing those inside with those outside, or those investing in it. We do not, however, publish papers based solely on countries from outside the region.
