This study examines which factors are urging Korean companies to participate in e-marketplaces. By adding interorganizational factors, we extended an innovation-theory-based research model that is often applied to study the information technology adoption. 71 questionnaires from 720 Korean manufacturing companies were collected. Independent variables of the research were environmental, organizational, innovation, and interorganizational characteristics. We found that the environmental characteristics, innovation characteristics, and interorganizational characteristics have insignificant effect on the participation of domestic companies in e-marketplaces whereas the organizational characteristics have significant relationship with the participation in e-marketplaces. The result implies that many Korean companies take wait-and-see strategy in the forming stage of e-marketplaces, However, IT infrastructure and the support of top management for IT play very important role in adopting e-marketplaces.

이 연구는 사회 교환 이론, 환경 요인, 그리고 혁신 수용과 관련된 조직적 요인 등에 관한 문헌들에 기초하여 B2B e-marketplaces의 참여의도에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 실증하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. B2B e-marketplaces에 아직 참여하지 않은 국내 제조업체들을 대상으로 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과, 기술적 기회주의만이 B2B e-marketplaces 참여의도에 제한적으로 영향을 미쳤으며, 나머지 대체 선택에 대한 비교 수준, 전환비용, 경쟁기업의 수, 정부나 산업협회의 압력, 환경의 불확실성, 기존자산 모두 유의한 결과를 보여주었다.

B2B transaction was expected to dominate in the global market and thus many e-marketplaces have been built since 1999 in Korea. However, only a few e-marketplaces are thriving and the future of B2B e-marketplaces except MRO area seem to be uncertain. This paper explores why B2B transactions only in MRO area are rapidly increasing and examines the competing structure and business models of MRO e-marketplace. Business models of MRO e-marketplaces are various among different countries. However, they can be classified as three business models:information portal model, purchasing agent model, open market model. It is not easy to answer which business model is most competitive because each models have their own advantages and functions. Information portal model can be easily applied for the e-marketplace which operates off-line enterprises. Purchasing agent model is favorable to the e-marketplaces which has already obtained buyers and sellers. Open market model is desirable to the e-marketplace which has excess to global market.

This study is intended to identify success factors which influence the performance of the B2B e-marketplaces.Thestudyisfocused on the supply companies and conducted to provide local small businesses with guidelines to improve their competitiveness and to develop appropriate business strategies in the digital economy age. Based on the literature review, four characteristics which influence the performance of B2B e-marketplaces are identified. Such characteristics as strategic, operational, organizational, and product/service properties are then utilized to develop the survey questionaire. The data collection is first performed through e-mail and, after finding out the response rate was too poor to analyze the results, followed by visits to the companies which participate in e-marketplaces. SAS 8.1 is used for the data analysis. Demographic analysis is conducted to generate the general information of the companies responded, and factor analysis is performed for the validity test. Finally, multiple regression is used for the hypothesis testing. This study is expected to contribute to find out critical factors for the success of B2B e-marketplaces and suggest guidelines for local small businesses to develop an appropriate e-business strategy to improve their competitive position.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibility of whether B2B e-marketplaces continue to grow. There are numerous barriers to the growth of e-marketplace, but certain key factors can push e-marketplaces beyond these obstacles. In the stage of generating traffic, it is essential to find a vertical area to attract buyers and sellers which can generate B2B transaction through e-marketplace. Generating traffic is possible only for e-marketplaces established by those who have vertical knowledges and strong off-line relationship in the vertical areas. In the stage of concentrating traffic, more attention should be given to reach critical mass and to increase transaction through e-marketplace. Currently, there seems to be a tendency that having major buyers as members of a e-marketplace is an true factor for the successful e-marketplace. Finally, to attain the locking traffic, e-marketplace needs to have the ability to generate revenue through B2B transaction. What we have learn from this study is that having the software-technology is not a sufficient condition to successfully operate B2B e-marketplace. It is important for e-marketplace to attract major players in order to increase B2B transaction, and also to make profit by them.

The purpose of this research is to investigate economic factors that determine characteristics of B2B e-Marketplaces. From a previous research work, we classify B2B e-Marketplaces into four forms: MRO Hubs, Catalogue Hubs, Yield Managers, and Exchanges. This classification is based upon "What businesses buy" and "How businesses buy." In an attempt to identify economic factors that determine e-Marketplace forms, we employ three economic factors: buyer/seller relationships, features of products traded, and characteristics of industries or markets. Through extensive literature reviews, we have selected six variables which can be used to explain reasons for different e-Marketplace forms: asset specificity and information asymmetry for the buyer/seller relationship, standardization and price variability for the product features, entry barrier and market volatility for the market characteristics. This research conducts six in-depth case studies to explain that "Why different forms of e-Marketplace emerge?" The research framework intends to provide link between e-Marketplace forms and six economic variables. Six case studies are based on interviews with CEO or team managers of e-Marketplace firms. This study has found six economic variables, explaining well reasons for different e-Marketplace forms. Research findings are summarized as propositions so that survey-type research can be conducted with a large number of samples in the future.

e-마켓플래이스의 영역이 지속적으로 확장될 것이라는 낙관적인 예측에도 불구하고 이에 대한 반론도 꾸준히 제기되어 왔다. 많은 선행 연구들이 e-마켓플래이스의 성공적 구축을 방해하는 여러 장애요인을 제시하였고 현실적으로도 e-마켓플래이스의 성공사례가 드문 편이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 e-마켓플래이스의 확장 가능성을 살펴보고, e-마켓플래이스가 지속적으로 확장하기 위해서 어떤 요소를 극복하고 관리해야 하는지를 알아보는데 있다. 이를 위하여 성공한 e-마켓플래이스의 사례를 분석하였다. 선행 연구와 사례 분석을 통해 연구된 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자산 특수성과 제품 복잡성이 높은 시장에서도 e-마켓플래이스가 성공적으로 구현될 수 있으므로, e-마켓플래이스의 영역이 지속적으로 확장될 것을 예상할 수 있었다. 둘째, 그러나 정보기술의 발전에 의해 e-마켓플래이스의 영역이 자동적으로 확장되는것이 아니며, e-마켓플래이스의 확장 시 발생하는 여러 장애 요소를 극복하기 위하여 기술적, 사회적, 그리고 서비스 관련 분야 등 다양한 차원의 요소를 고려하고 문제를 해결하는 e-마켓플래이스 기업의 역량이 e-마켓플래이스의 영역 확장에서 매우 중요함을 알 수 있었다.

건설업 특성상 공사비용의 약 $40{\sim}60%$가 자재의 구매 및 조달에 투자되는 만큼 B2B e-Marketplace를 통한 건설자재 구매는 최적의 비용과 기존 Off-line에서 낭비된 시간과 절차를 단축 할 수 있다는 점에서 건설기업의 큰 관심을 끌고 있다. 건설 B2B e-Marketplace는 중소 건자재 제조회사 및 중소 건설기업 모두에게 비즈니스 범위를 넓혀 줌으로써 대기업 위주의 건설시장에 활력을 일으킬 수 있다. 그러나 현재 국내의 어떤 산업을 막론하고 B2B e-Marketplace는 기대 이하의 저조한 시장 참여로 심각한 수준에 이르고 있다. 건설업에서도 초기에 보였던 건자재 분야 B2Be-Marketplace의 낙관적 전망은 특정 대기업을 제외하고는 실질적인 이익이나 운영 실적면에서 뚜렷하게 성과를 나타나지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 건설 B2B e-Marketplace의 운영 현황을 사례조사를 통해 파악한다.

21세기 들어 e-비즈니스의 확산과 더불어 인터넷이라는 개방형 커뮤니케이션구조를 기반으로하는 네트워크기술의 도약적 발전으로 인해 수많은 중개형 e-마켓플레이스들이 등장하였다. 하지만, 이와같은 중개형 e-마켓플레이스들을 통한 기업간 전자상거래를 규모가 예상과 달리 저조함에 따라 현재 인지도가 높은 사이트들조차도 사업을 정리하거나 전환하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 기업내부 혹은 기업간 e-비즈니스의 핵심거래기반으로서 논의되어왔던 e-마켓플레이스를 기업에서의 정보기술활용이라는 역사적 관점에서 재조명해보았다. 이를 통해 기업의 e-비즈니스 거래기반으로서의 중개형 e-마켓플레이스들의 위상과 갖추어야 할 비즈니스적 특성을 제시하였다.
