Although interest in the potential and actual usage of the Internet as a transaction medium is increasing, the market for fashion merchandise on the Internet in Korea has yet to take off. As the Internet environment is expected to bring about a transformation of conventional consumer buying behavior, the purpose of this exploratory research is to investigate the buying behavior of fashion products on the Internet to identify relevant concepts and generate hypotheses for further empirical research. The research methods selected for the study were observation and in-depth interview. Twelve subjects who had purchased fashion products on the Internet were selected and interviewed. Those who could not participate in face-to-face in-depth interviews because of the geographic locations were interviewed on-line. The results are as follows: First, subjects went through the stages of shopping motivation stage, site choice behavior stage, in-site behavior stage, and postpurchase behavior stage. Second, a model was extracted for each shopping stage, and a final model was completed based on comparisons with the participants processes. The information content of each phase was discussed. Finally, each participant was classified using their purchasing process, revealing six possible mixed usage patterns of the Internet marketing system and the traditional marketing system.

A few recent international surveys reported that Korea ranks the top with respect to the high-speed information and communication network subscription per 100 people in the world. Such infrastructure has been bringing about broad changes in Internet service for both business and individual users. By conducting a questionnaire survey on a moderate size of sample proportional to the population of each region across country, we try to analyze what factors might explain the level of Internet service satisfaction with respect to security, searching, and convenience dimensions. According to the test results, several factors such as sex, age, kind of network lines, usage frequency, e-mail usage, e-shopping, online problem experience might explain the different levels of Internet service satisfaction in the high-speed Internet network. This study might shed a guidance to scholars conducting Internet-related studies and practitioners who plan information policies and business strategies.

The Internet is a social and economic foundation, apparently destined for human communication and interaction. It is supposed to allow for more interactive and innovative ways for people to do what they do in 'real lift'. There is no shilly-shallying to say that at present, Internet has become a commanding and useful tool for empowerment and income making in developing countries. It is very difficult to say that at present internet has turned into a popular and useful thing among the Bangladeshi people like students, doctors, engineers, businessmen, researchers as well as politician who are being logged into the internet for getting information what they want. Though the Internet was invented in 1970 but it came late in Bangladesh through UUCPs (Unix-to-Unix copy) email connectivity in 1993 and IP connectivity in 1996. Having launched Internet, on June 1996 National polls result were broadcast through the using of World Wide Web (WWW) that was the first ever practice trial in Bangladesh. On June 1996, the government has approved to allow VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) in the country's private sector to operate as Internet Service Provider (ISPs). At the end of year, there were only two ISPs in the country and number of users near about one thousand only. But next year in 1997, the total number of ISPs was more than a dozen and the clientele growth was ten times higher than that of the previous year. From then, the number of Internet users and ISPs are increasing significantly in Bangladesh. About 40 ISP are providing internet service among as many as 3, 20,000 users at present out of almost 130 license holder ISP provider but among the ISPs, most of the ISPs are placed in Dhaka and few are working in Comilla, Sylhet, Rajshahi, Chittagong and Khulna. It should be mention that currently, broadband internet (Radio, Cable) connection is working side by side dial -up connection where broadband accounts 10,000. This paper will have a comprehensive discussion on the current situations of Internet and some of the contemporary issues in the matter concerned.

본 연구는 한국과 일본에서 나타나는 인터넷 이용행태의 기본적인 특성과 전반적인 인식이 온라인에서의 관계망의 형성과 유지에 어떤 영향을 주고 받는지를 구체적으로 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 한국과 일본의 이용자들의 온라인 관계망의 현황과 개인적 성향, 인터넷 이용패턴, 그리고 인터넷에 대한 인식 등을 설문조사를 통해 알아보았다. 연구결과를 요약하면, 온라인 관계망의 크기와 활용에 있어서 한국의 이용자들이 보다 적극적인 것으로 나타났으며, 양국 모두 자주 만나기 어려운 사적인 관계의 대상들과 관계하는 비율이 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 한국의 이용자들은 개인적 성향이나 인터넷 관련 행태 및 인식이 전반적으로 만남의 방식에 영향을 미치지 않았던 데 비해 일본의 이용자들은 관계지향적인 인터넷 이용 패턴과 인터넷의 유용성에 대한 인식이 온라인에서의 접촉 양상에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 온라인 관계망의 크기와 관련하여 양국 모두에 공통적으로 나타난 것은 인터넷을 정보지향적으로 이용할수록 등록된 대화상대가 증가한다는 점이었다. 이는 인터넷에서의 관계형성에 있어 약한 유대에 기반한 관계가 효율적이고, 이러한 관계를 통해 얻을 수 있는 혜택이 정보적 혜택이라는 기존의 이론과 잘 부합하는 결과라고 할 것이다. 아울러 일본의 경우 온라인에서의 관계형성 전반에 있어 온라인 공간에 대한 위험인식 정도, 즉 신뢰의 여부가 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.

With the progress of Internet and e-commerce, there have been many researches on the market efficiency of the Internet markets using real price data. Contrary to the common expectations by many economists, most of the previous researches have fatted to prove that the Internet market is more efficient than the conventional market. This paper empirically analyzes the pricing behavior of Internet and conventional retailers in South Korea. We have collected real price data on CDs and TVs from various types of retailers, from which we have analyzed three aspects of pricing behavior : price level, price change over time, and price dispersion across the retailers. We have found that the average prices of CDs and TVs at the Internet retailers are lower than those at the conventional retailers. We have also found that there is a close association between the behaviors (e.g., magnitude and timing of changes) of TV prices at the Internet retailers and those at the conventional retailers. It has been observed that the range of the CD prices at the internet retailers is less than a half of the range at the conventional retailers, which can be considered as an evidence of a relatively stronger price competition at the Internet market compared with the conventional market.
