다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Digital economy has grown rapidly so that the new business area called 'Internet business' has been dramatically extended as time goes on. However, in the case of Internet business, market shares of individual companies seem to fluctuate very extremely. Thus marketing managers who operate the Internet sites have seriously observed the competition structure of the Internet business market and carefully analyzed the competitors' behavior in order to achieve their own business goals in the market.
The newly created Internet business might differ from the offline ones in management styles, because it has totally different business circumstances when compared with the existing offline businesses. Thus, there should be a lot of researches for finding the solutions about what the features of Internet business are and how the management style of those Internet business companies should be changed.
Most marketing literatures related to the Internet business have focused on individual business markets. Specifically, many researchers have studied the Internet portal sites and the Internet shopping mall sites, which are the most general forms of Internet business. On the other hand, this study focuses on the entire Internet business industry to understand the competitive circumstance of online market. This approach makes it possible not only to have a broader view to comprehend overall e-business industry, but also to understand the differences in competition structures among Internet business markets.
We used time-series data of Internet connection rates by consumers as the basic data to figure out the competition patterns in the Internet business markets. Specifically, the data for this research was obtained from one of Internet ranking sites, 'Fian'. The Internet business ranking data is obtained based on web surfing record of some pre-selected sample group where the possibility of double-count for page-views is controlled by method of same IP check. The ranking site offers several data which are very useful for comparison and analysis of competitive sites. The Fian site divides the Internet business areas into 34 area and offers market shares of big 5 sites which are on high rank in each category daily. We collected the daily market share data about Internet sites on each area from April 22, 2008 to August 5, 2008, where some errors of data was found and 30 business area data were finally used for our research after the data purification.
This study performed several empirical analyses in focusing on market shares of each site to understand the competition among sites in Internet business of Korea. We tried to perform more statistically precise analysis for looking into business fields with similar competitive structures by applying the cluster analysis to the data.
The research results are as follows. First, the leading sites in each area were classified into three groups based on averages and standard deviations of daily market shares. The first group includes the sites with the lowest market shares, which give more increased convenience to consumers by offering the Internet sites as complimentary services for existing offline services. The second group includes sites with medium level of market shares, where the site users are limited to specific small group. The third group includes sites with the highest market shares, which usually require online registration in advance and have difficulty in switching to another site.
Second, we analyzed the second place sites in each business area because it may help us understand the competitive power of the strongest competitor against the leading site. The second place sites in each business area were classified into four groups based on averages and standard deviations of daily market shares. The four groups are the sites showing consistent inferiority compared to the leading sites, the sites with relatively high volatility and medium level of shares, the sites with relatively low vola...

국문 초록 (Abstract)

정보통신기술의 발달로 인해 도래한 디지털 경제는 인터넷 비즈니스라는 새로운 사업영역을 창출하였다. 인터넷 비즈니스는 다른 사업과 달리 매우 유동적인 시장점유율 변동이 나타나는 비즈니스 영역으로, 기업들은 시장 내의 경쟁 환경 및 경쟁 구조를 정확히 이해하여야만 불안정한 인터넷 시장 환경에 효과적으로 대처해 나갈 수 있게 되었다. 이에, 본 연구는 한국 인터넷 비즈니스 내의 인터넷 사이트 간 경쟁을 각 사업 분야 별 시장점유율에 기초하여 실증분석 하였다. 이를 통해 인터넷 사이트들의 점유율 변동 추이를 살펴보고, 시장 선도 사이트들의 시장 지배력과 개별 시장의 경쟁 구도 등을 살펴보았다. 이러한 연구결과는 각 기업의 인터넷 사이트 담당자에게는 해당 시장의 경쟁양상과 경쟁구조를 파악할 수 있는 기회를 제공하고, 인터넷 분야로 새롭게 진출하려는 기업의 마케터들에게는 자사의 사업 진출 방향에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
