Abstract
ABSTRACT Over-the-top (OTT) services are the main avenue for audiences to consume foreign content; therefore, companies use foreign content as a weapon to compete for local market share. Employing an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in a survey of 14 OTT-content-related incumbents, this study prioritized the decisive factors in domestic OTT platforms’ choice of foreign content in South Korea. The results revealed that using differentiated foreign content for competition with other domestic services is a top priority, while content with proven domestic marketability to satisfy audience demand follows behind. Finally, this study gives insights into OTT platforms’ foreign content strategy.
OTT (Over-the-top)服务是观众消费外国内容的主要渠道;因此,公司将外国内容作为争夺本地市场份额的武器。本研究采用层次分析法(AHP)对14家OTT内容相关企业进行调查,对韩国国内OTT平台选择国外内容的决定性因素进行了排序。结果显示,利用差异化的外国内容与其他国内服务竞争是当务之急,而证明国内适销对路、满足观众需求的内容紧随其后。最后,本文对OTT平台的海外内容战略进行了分析。
