Recently, the effectiveness and prospective benefits of the Web Services concept (Wainewright, P, 2002; Infavio, 2004; Hennin-Thurau, T. Malthause, E.C. Friege, C. Gensler, S. Lobschat, L., Rangaswamy, A., and Sliera, B, 2010) encourages many users to adopt and carry out Web Services within their organizations. Korea has been in the process of developing WS systems as a paradigm for competitive advantages. Users and researchers in Korea need to better understand Web Services to ensure the success of the perceived promising benefits.
However, no published research has yet extended beyond the practical implementation phase of Web Services in Korea. Web Services Systems and paradigm literatures were obtained from practical and academic papers and reviewed. The various topics of literature related to Web Services were grouped to form five elements that seemed to be critical for Web Services.
Interviews with 13 Korea Web Services experts revealed a total of 13 themes that came from five elements, all of which are significant for Web Services systems and paradigm. The Personal Construct Psychology(PCP) approach allowed the researcher to obtain experts’ perception that was consistent with the purpose of this study in term of a set of dichotomous variables (Yes or No) (Kelly, G.A., 1955; Parr, A.N., Shanks, G. & Darke, P., 1999). A group of Korean WS experts‘ opinions and comments about the future role and use of WS are summarized based on the 13 themes and their agreement or disagreement regarding each key theme would occur within the next 5 to 10 years.
