This study seeks to investigate the factors influencing the utilization of online contents subscription services. In this study, the current number of online contents services subscribed to is set as the dependent variable. The independent variables include conspicuous product purchasing tendencies, personality types, experience with online contents consumption, and digital literacy. The research results indicate that digital literacy, agreeableness, and sociability among personality traits, as well as experience with online contents consumption, significantly impact the use of online contents subscription services. However, conspicuous product purchasing tendencies and personality traits such as openness and extroversion did not have a significant effect on the utilization of online contents subscription services.

The influence of online platforms has become even more powerful than ever and there has been growing calls to regulate its enormous market power. Issues relating to platform monopolies have been discussed in Korea and recently the Online Platform Intermediary Transactions Fairness Bill has passed the Cabinet Council. Thus, we aim to analyze online platform regulations from stakeholder perspective and then address the regulatory direction. We first investigate the consequences of platform strategies including mergers that platform owners take. In addition, we inspect the possible effects of online platform regulations on its stakeholders. Our research can contribute to having a more balanced view on the online platform regulation that is somewhat in the favor of protecting platform complementors and consumers.

Owing to the wide distribution of smart devices, more people enjoy online games. Previous research related to online game has mainly focused on the factors that increase users' intention to reuse and less focused on the influence of restrictions toward online game misbehavior. This study proposes a research model that considers factors that either increase or decrease the use of online games and presents the outcomes. The research results showed that: (1) Restriction policy had no impact on online game users' feelings of pleasure and arousal. (2) Restriction system had negative impact on users' feelings of pleasure and arousal. (3) In an environment where online game misbehavior was restricted, users' emotional states still had positive influence on users' intention to reuse. This research results implies that in order to lead to healthy online game environment, compared to repressive and systematic restriction methods, it is preferable to establish restriction policies that have no negative impact on users' emotional states and to change users' perception through education, so to achieve successful restrictions toward online game misbehavior without jeopardizing revitalization of online game industry.

As children's participation in online activities has recently increased, online services for children are also rapidly increasing, but children are not sufficiently guaranteed their rights. The purpose of this study is to classify and analyze issues related to the children's online privacy issues in Korea through the current status and case studies of application services mainly used by children. For this purpose, this research analyzed problems related to the children's online privacy protection according to the stage of using the application. As a result of the application content analysis, 1) issues of child identification, 2) effectiveness of notice and consent, and 3) issues of children's rights as subjects of information were derived. Based on the current status analysis, the policy implications were drawn based on the children's online privacy protection in the online environment, and suggestions were made for improvement.

Progresses in ICT make the processing and exchange of personal data across international borders often necessary and relatively easy. The challenge lies in protecting fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals, notably the right to privacy and the right to personal information, while encouraging the free and secure flow of information across borders for the continued expansion of online transactions. The key to establishing a functioning international solution for personal data protection is to strike a right balance between the two camps which currently dominate the debate - the advocates of individual privacy rights on one side exemplified by the EU, and the proponents of self-regulation and economic efficiency on the other, represented by the U.S. In the face of a growing tension between the two sides each equipped with their own ideals, a practical solution may lie in utilizing established institutions of standardization such as ISO and IEC as a ground upon which an agreement can take its root.

The purpose of this study is to explore the trend of blockchain technology through analysis of patents and news articles using text mining, and to suggest the blockchain policy agenda by grasping social interests. For this purpose, 327 blockchain-related patent abstracts in Korea and 5,941 full-text online news articles were collected and preprocessed. 12 patent topics and 19 news topics were extracted with latent dirichlet allocation topic modeling. Analysis of patents showed that topics related to authentication and transaction accounted were largely predominant. Analysis of news articles showed that social interests are mainly concerned with cryptocurrency. Policy agendas were then derived for blockchain development. This study demonstrates the efficient and objective use of an automated technique for the analysis of large text documents. Additionally, specific policy agendas are proposed in this study which can inform future policy-making processes.

ICT 기술의 발전과 금융기술의 진보로 온라인 쇼핑으로 대표되는 전자상거래는 점점 더 대중화되고 있다. PC나 모바일기기로 빠르고 손쉽게 물건을 구매할 수 있어 온라인 쇼핑은 많은 사람에게 일상이 되었다. 특히 온라인 쇼핑은 임대료, 각종 공과금, 인건비, 재고 확보 등으로 높은 초기비용이 필요한 일반 오프라인 쇼핑에 비해 낮은 진입장벽을 가지고 있어 많은 창업가들이 관심을 두고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가장 보편적 온라인 쇼핑 창업 형태인 플랫폼 기반 창업을 통해 국내 온라인 창업 시장에 대해 전반적으로 알아보고자 한다. 특히 국내 최대 온라인 쇼핑 플랫폼인 네이버 스마트스토어의 판매자를 예로 살펴보면서 기존에 많이 연구되었던 소비자 입장에서의 온라인 쇼핑이 아닌 창업자 즉 판매자 입장에서 온라인 쇼핑을 분석함으로써 국내 온라인 쇼핑 창업의 양성에 필요한 정책적 지원에 관하여 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

This study explores the locomotives of the growth in the Korean online shopping industry upon the theoretical basis based on the last 10 years' rapid changing environment. This attempt reveals the counter-arguments against preemtive effects based on the observation of reintermediation process in the online industry. We reviewed the NEBIC model proposed by Wheeler(2002) and propose the growth model, double helix framework based on the dynamic capability view. Furthermore the relevance of the proposed framework was validated with the review of last 10 years' sales and market share data in the online shopping industry. Meanwhile we found the limits of online market growth with the open market domination. So future of the online shopping retailers is depending on the development of the channel functions and merchandising on the basis of self-capability. Based on the tentative conclusion, we also suggest implications for the policy makers. Firstly policy facilitating the specialization of the power sellers incubased in the open market is necessary for the sustainable online market growth. And the establishment of the control tower is suggested to coordinate the consistency of the policies and regulations. And the device of the incentive is also proposed to strengthen the open markets' function to facilitate the small and medium online merchants.
