Abstract

This study examines the importance of factors that influence the online platform selection decision to support operational optimization strategies. For the research purpose, we first reviewed previous studies on service encounters and identified those factors that have been proven important for using online platforms. Second, this study analyzed the factors that customers perceived as important based on analytical hierarchy process (AHP) of the data we collected from 10 mobile or computer-based Internet users. The study results revealed that the important factors for the online platform selection were in the following order: product diversity (27.4%), ease of use (21.5%), brand credibility (18.1%), interactions with the service provider (17.7%), and ease of accessibility (15.3%). The study provides useful insights to online platform service providers in developing strategies for customer-focused value creation.

본 연구는 온라인 플랫폼 사용 선정에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 중요도를 분석하여 운영최적화를 위한 전략방안을 제시하고자 한다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 서비스 접점과 관련된 선행연구 고찰을 통해 온라인 플랫폼 이용시 중요시하는 요인을 고찰하여 평가항목을 개발하였다. 둘째, 소비자가 온라인 플랫폼 선택에서 중요하게 평가하는 요소를 모바일 또는 컴퓨터 기반 인터넷 사용자 10명으로부터 수집된 데이터 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) 기법을 이용하여 우선순위를 분석하였다. 종합적인 분석결과, 중요도 우선순위에서 제품 다양성이 27.4%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 다음으로 사용용이성 항목이 21.5%, 브랜드 신뢰성 18.1%, 제공자와의 상호작용 17.7%, 접근용이성 15.3%의 순위로 나타났다. 연구결과는 온라인 플랫폼 기반 비즈니스 기업에게 고객기반 가치창출을 고려시 유용한 정보를 제공한다.
