Purpose: Research on the valuation of the e-commerce distribution companies is necessary because the traditional valuation methodology cannot be easily applied. Considering the valuation and initial public offering (IPO) of Coupang, Korea's leading e-commerce company, this study contributes to the literature by examining various valuation methods applicable to corporate valuation in the e-commerce industry and provides their implications. Research design, data and methodology: This case study investigates research, analyst reports, news articles, and magazines to review the valuation methods for companies in the e-commerce industry and analyzes the case of the Coupang IPO. Results: A valuation method that considers growth potential, which is important for companies in the e-commerce industry, is used for IPOs. This led to Coupang's successful IPO on the New York Stock Exchange despite its accumulated losses. However, the continued price decline since listing suggests that Coupang's valuation should have considered more factors. Conclusions: This study provides guidelines for the valuation of companies in the e-commerce industry, which eventually improves the overall industry. Moreover, this study provides directions for improving the valuation methods for e-commerce firms.

콘텐츠는 현재 OTT 시장 그리고 이커머스 기업의 경쟁우위를 유지하는 데 필요한 핵심 자원으로 인정받고 있다. 쿠팡은 구독경제 그리고 자사의 생태계에 소비자를 묶어두는 락인효과를 극대화하기 위해 콘텐츠 성장 전략을 추구하고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 배경을 감안, 사례연구방법을 토대로 쿠팡의 콘텐츠 성장모멘텀을 설명하고 그들의 콘텐츠 전략을 상세히 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 토대로 본 연구는 쿠팡의 콘텐츠 성장 전략을 상세히 기술, 사례연구를 토대로 쿠팡이 콘텐츠의 경쟁 구도를 스포츠 영역으로 차별화하고 저가격에 초점을 기울여 구독경제를 위한 락인효과를 구축했다는 점을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 쿠팡의 콘텐츠 전략의 목적은 스포츠에 집중한 콘텐츠 차별화, 이커머스와 연계한 번들 전략, 그리고 저원가 전략을 토대로 구독경제를 위한 락인효과 구축으로 정리할 수 있다. 본 연구는 벤처기업에서 출발, 데카콘 기업으로 성장한 후 쿠팡이 전혀 다른 산업에서 콘텐츠의 영향력을 키우는 과정을 세심히 기술, 벤처창업 연구 분야에 관해 기여했으며 구독경제를 위한 락인효과 강화에 콘텐츠 전략이 얼마나 중요한지 체계적으로 설명하는 데 실무적으로 공헌하였다. 후속 연구는 미디어 콘텐츠 분야의 벤처창업 및 스타트업의 콘텐츠 전략의 영향력을 비교하여 관련 분야의 연구 영역을 더 넓게 확장, 깊이 있는 교훈을 제안해야 할 것이다.

코로나19로 인한 이커머스 거래의 급증으로 해외에서는 Buy Now Pay Later(선구매 후결제, 이하 BNPL)가 밀레니얼 세대 사이에서 차세대 결제 수단으로 부상했다. 국내에서는 네이버 쇼핑과 쿠팡이 후불결제를 제공해 고객 락인(lock-in) 효과, 카드사 수수료 절감, 소매금융사업 진출 등을 도모한다. 그러나 소비자 관점에서 후불결제의 수용에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 국내 연구는 부족하다. 이에 20~30대 대상으로 실증연구를 진행한 결과, 후불결제 수용에 영향을 미치는 요인은 네이버쇼핑은 호환성>혁신저항>충동구매 성향, 쿠팡은 호환성> 상대적 이점>혁신저항>추가가치 순으로 나타났다. 한편 네이버쇼핑은 충동구매 성향이 수용의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치므로 연체율 관리가 관건이며, 쿠팡은 충동구매 성향이 지각된 위험에 정(+)의 영향을 미치므로 연체료, 신용등급 하락 등 위험 요소를 충분히 전달하고 후불결제로 유도한다는 느낌을 소비자가 받지 않도록 해야 한다. 후불결제 수용을 높이려면 타깃 고객을 세분화하고 버티컬 커머스와 제휴하는 방안을 추천한다.

Logistics centers, distribution centers, or warehouse facilities increasingly dominate urban and suburban landscapes, their enormous but blank, repetitive facades completely overshadowing adjacent buildings. Mostly ignored by architects, this new building type symbolically represents the arrival of post-anthropocene, or post-urbicene era of architecture, in which an increasing portion of our built environment will not be intended for human occupancy, but rather for use by machines and artificial intelligence. As a new wave of logistics centers are becoming more automated, and more supersized, it is important to deepen architects' understanding of the organizational logic and programming factors that inform the overall design decisions for these facilities. With a particular focus on three case studies--Coupang, E-Mart, and Amazon Fulfillment Centers, this research examines the current trends in automation and expansion of logistics centers, and offers an analysis and forecast for future facilities in South Korea.

In a recent study, the phenomena of attention being drawn to the media business, particularly over-the-top (OTT) services, was the focus. Particularly, after the Squid Game was broadcast in September 2021, the total number of Netflix users had topped 213.6 million since the company first entered the domestic market. Domestic companies have also introduced OTT services like 'Wave', 'Tving', and 'Watcha Play' to capitalize on this market trend. However, questions persist about how Korea's native OTT providers, both large and small, are being harmed by Netflix's strong financial position and massive content quantity. In order to offer realistic performance metrics, we analyze Coupang Play among domestic OTT service providers after reviewing the business model and management strategy of representative OTT service firms.

This study aims to suggest service improvement opportunities by analyzing user review data of the top three OTT service apps(Netflix, Coupang Play, and TVING) on Google Play Store. To achieve this objective, we proposed a framework for uncovering service opportunities through the analysis of negative user reviews from OTT service providers. The framework involves automating the labeling of identified topics and generating service improvement opportunities using topic modeling and prompt engineering, leveraging GPT-4, a generative AI model. Consequently, we pinpointed five dissatisfaction topics for Netflix and TVING, and nine for Coupang Play. Common issues include "video playback errors", "app installation and update errors", "subscription and payment" problems, and concerns regarding "content quality". The commonly identified service enhancement opportunities include "enhancing and diversifying content quality". "optimizing video quality and data usage", "ensuring compatibility with external devices", and "streamlining payment and cancellation processes". In contrast to prior research, this study introduces a novel research framework leveraging generative AI to label topics and propose improvement strategies based on the derived topics. This is noteworthy as it identifies actionable service opportunities aimed at enhancing service competitiveness and satisfaction, instead of merely outlining topics.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify the utility and sacrifice factors of paid membership in domestic e-commerce based on the value-based acceptance model, and to determine its impact on perceived value and intention to continue using e-commerce. Design/methodology/approach This study confirmed the perceived benefits and sacrifice factors of e-commerce paid membership through in-depth interviews, and verified the research model through an online survey. Findings The study identifies seven perceived benefit factors(differentiation, enjoyment, sharing, point benefit, discount benefit, contents benefit, and delivery benefit) and three perceived sacrifice factors(fee, opportunity loss, complexity). Structural model verification reveals that discount benefit, delivery benefit, and opportunity loss significantly impact the perceived value in Coupang Rocket Wow, while discount benefit, point benefit, and fee significantly influence the perceived value in Naver Plus membership. The perceived value of both memberships positively influences the intention to continue using the respective e-commerce platforms. A comparison highlights a significant difference in the impact of opportunity loss on perceived value between Coupang Rocket Wow and Naver Plus memberships.

As game industry prospers, the negative side of games becomes highlighted as well as its contributions to economy growth. In spite of strong arguments for the necessity to regulations as a means to decrease addiction or overindulgence, research has produced future suggestions rather than quantifiable evidence. In this paper, we propose adopting a simulation approach in addition to quantitative approaches to better understand optimal regulatory levels since a simulation approach can visualize unexpected side effects of regulations. In this study, we suggest the application of an agent-based model (ABM) as a smart service to measure the effects of regulatory policies. We review cases applying ABM in various domains and consider the possibility of using an ABM to understand the effectiveness of web board-game regulations. We find that the ABM approach would be useful in several areas, such as the analysis of regulatory effects that reflect a variety of characteristics, the measurement of micro-regulatory effects, and the simulation of regulations.

본 연구에서는 소셜커머스를 이용하는 외식소비자들을 대상으로 재이용의도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 지각된 위험과 상품구매 시 가격을 고려하는 정도인 가격의식성을 제시하여 영향관계를 검증해 보고자 한다. 이러한 검증결과를 통해 외식소비자들의 소셜커머스에 대한 행동의도를 파악하여 외식소셜커머스 관련 업체들의 마케팅전략 수립 시 활용할 수 있는 유용한 실무적 시사점을 제공하는데 본 연구의 목적을 두고자 한다. 연구의 공간적 범위와 조사대상은 소셜커머스에서 외식상품을 구매한 경험이 있는 전국의 20세 이상 남녀 내국인 거주자로 하였으며, 표본추출을 위한 소셜커머스 업체는 연간 방문자 수 기준으로 2014년 쇼핑 앱 순위에서 1위를 차지한 쿠팡으로 선정하였다. 조사대상자 중에서 쿠팡을 이용해 외식상품을 구매한 경험이 있는 지를 사전질문을 통해 파악한 후 경험이 있다고 응답한 사람을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 정보위험과 개인보안위험, 심리적 위험, 시간손실위험은 재이용의도에 부정적인 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났으나 사회적 위험과 재무적 위험은 아무런 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 가격의식성은 재이용의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 외식소비자들의 지속적인 소셜커머스 이용에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 지각된 위험과 가격의식성의 중요성을 규명하였다.
