Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the competitiveness of OTT operators by developing an analysis framework specialized for the OTT industry. Based on existing research on business model, platform business model, and OTT characteristics, the OTT platform business model framework was developed, and case analysis was conducted based on data from related materials, literature, and internal data to suggest the direction for domestic OTT operators. As a result of the study, domestic OTT operators should use advanced AI and big data technologies to produce original content and improve the infrastructure and service quality of the platform. This study is meaningful in that it provides an analysis framework for OTT operators to establish their own competitive strategies and suggests the direction for domestic OTT operators through case application.

본 연구는 OTT 산업에 특화된 분석틀을 개발하여 OTT 사업자들의 경쟁력 분석을 하는 데에 목적이 있다. 비즈니스 모델, 플랫폼 비즈니스 모델, OTT 특성에 관한 기존연구를 바탕으로 OTT 플랫폼 비즈니스 모델 프레임워크를 개발하였고 관련 자료, 문헌, 내부자료의 데이터를 토대로 사례 분석을 하여 국내 OTT 사업자들이 나아가야 할 방향을 제시하였다. 연구 결과, 국내 OTT 사업자들은 발전된 AI와 빅데이터 기술을 활용해 오리지널 콘텐츠를 제작하고 플랫폼의 인프라 및 서비스의 질을 향상해야 한다. 또한, 보유한 콘텐츠를 맞춤화된 추천 시스템을 통해 충분히 활용할 수 있어야 하고 이용자들이 선호할 해당 플랫폼만의 오리지널 콘텐츠에 아낌없는 투자가 지속되어야 한다. 본 연구는 급변하는 미디어 산업 속에서 OTT 사업자들이 자신만의 경쟁전략을 수립할 수 있는 분석틀을 제공하고 사례 적용을 통해 국내 OTT 사업자들이 나아가야 할 방향성을 제시했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
