Vimal Kumar, Kuei‐Kuei Lai, Yu‐Hsin Chang, Priyanka C. Bhatt, Fang-Pei Su · 2020 · Journal of Knowledge Management

Summary. This paper analyzes how mobile payment technology has evolved by examining patent citation networks and identifying key innovation trajectories. The researchers map the m-payment ecosystem and identify three main categories: mobile financial transaction systems, payee mobile device payment selection systems, and e-wallet services. The structural analysis approach reveals the systematic patterns through which m-payment technology has developed and provides a method for tracking technological evolution in innovation ecosystems.
