As interest in the audiobook market is growing, this study examined the influence of audiobook usage on purchase intention. An online survey was conducted in December 2020 targeting those in their 20s to 40s with experience using audiobooks. PLS-SEM was employed and the results are as follows. First, information, relaxation, and convenience motivation of audiobooks had a positive impact on user satisfaction. Second, while innovativeness of users had a positive impact on satisfaction, multitasking did not significantly affect satisfaction. Third, satisfaction had a positive impact on continued use and purchase intention. Finally, the continued use intention positively affected the purchase intention.

This study analyzed the Internet consumption behavior concerning pet care through in-depth interviews with 11 people who take care of pets. In this study, along with owners of domestic companion animals, stray cat caregivers were included as pet consumers, which have not yet been included in this category in existing research. Internet consumption was found to differ between people with dogs and people with cats. In the case of dog owners, they bought a lot of bath products, clothes harnesses, and strollers that were not appropriate for cats. Although the pet-poor phenomenon is known to occur a lot among young consumers, who care for pets behavior at the cost of money spent on themselves, even stray cat caregivers, mostly middle-aged women, are wary of becoming pet-poor. It cannot be said that there are gender differences in online shopping of pet consumers. In general, women, who did mainly Internet shopping, and if they are not used to using the Internet, their husbands made purchases online instead.

스마트 미디어 시대에 이용자들의 미디어 이용행태 조사 결과, 미디어의 이용시간이 증가하고 이용하는 매체수도 증가하고 있는데, 기존 매체와 달리 스마트 미디어간에는 보완적인 활용이 증가할 것으로 분석된다. 스마트 미디어는 플랫폼을 중심으로 판매자와 구매자가 거래를 하는 전형적인 양측시장에 속한다. 양측시장의 사업자들은 구매자와 판매자를 모두 자사의 플랫폼으로 끌어들이기 위해, 구매자와 판매자의 수요 탄력성을 고려하여 손해를 감수하고 투자를 하는 부분과 실질적으로 수익을 창출하는 전략을 취하지만 아직 스마트미디어에서는 이러한 비즈니스 모델이 본격적으로 출현하지 않은 것으로 보인다. 특히 제조사들의 경우는 TV 판매만으로도 충분한 수익원이 될 수 있어 콘텐츠의 공급자와 구매자 네트워크를 키우기 위한 비즈니스 모델을 선택하는 데에 소극적일 유인이 높다. 유료방송사업자와 인터넷 포털의 스마트STB 도입은 이러한 제조사에 대한 견제 주체가 될 수 있으나 이러한 견제가 유효하기 위해서는 플랫폼간의 표준화 및 호환성이 보장되어야 할 것이다.
