Today is dedicated to the writing of the theoretical framework. This section of my first paper will give enough content to the story told so far in the introduction. For this reason I include four elements: What is the transaction behind mobile apps, who are these app developers, what are the revenue models and why apps have a special type of rm, finally what are the implications of selling data on users privacy. Getting to this structure was not easy, there are many possible ways to structure this section, various alternatives to talk about apps, namely, app ecosystems, app platforms, two sided markets, digital products.. and this problem is also observed on the elements of our story: revenue models vs mechanisms of value capture, value creation and value capture vs. apps transactions and apps make money.
The first paragraph is important to establish the elements of my paper, we say examples about apps that collect data to make money. OK, that is popular and interesting. Now, how are you going to organize this idea into an academic paper? Apps are part of the transactions happening on app platforms, where mobile developers publish their softwares, and mobile device owners search for app on the platform. this platform is a catalog of apps, where every app has an app page with the main information needed for a transaction. This information is app functionalitites and features, price and other costs of using the app, as well as other mechanisms used by app to make money, permissions to access to the device functionalities and data.
The second paragraph is now about who are app developers. They want to create very special apps because they like to create innovative software. But there are also some that want to make business with apps. Some of the developers work for software firms, and the majority of developers work as independent developers, also seen as entrepreneurs. Publishing app on an app platform is an opportunity to make money, which wants to say that app developers can also create their own business.
well.. this two paragraphs are set here, now it is time to write them on my paper! with citations could be better!
