The purpose of this study is to investigate the reasons for users to use accommodation applications and thefacts that affect reuse, and to suggest a design that can be used more conveniently for users. O2O services have diversified as more generations are enjoying leisure activities and the mobile market is expanding. Especially, the most important service in leisure activities is accommodation service. For the study, we surveyed about using accommodation application for 103 men and women in their 20s and 30s. Surveys shows that the main reason for users to reuse application is discounted services through events. Therefore, we will suggest anew design by collecting the inconveniences of users when using applications. We hope that the accommodation market can be expanded not only in Korea but also overseas markets by improving the services users, who use accommodation application, want though this study.

Internet Banking Offers Major Advantages for Both Banks and Customers. However, Not All People have equal Access or Skills to use such Services. The Main Objective of this Study is to Understand the Fctors Influencing Internet Banking Usage we Developed a Research Model Drawing from the UTAUT and Digital Divide Research. The Model was Tested and find more than 90% of Variance of Internet Banking Usage was Explained by the Model. Results Demonstrate that the Strongest Factor Influencing the Intention to adopt Internet Banking Services is the Degree to which an Individual Believes that it is Safe to use such Services. In the Paper, all the Hypotheses Except for the Hypothesis on the Effort Expectation are Accepted with Statistical Significance.

Although multimedia messaging services (MMS) are becoming increasingly popular, and companies are maximizing the use of their content, few systematic studies on MMSs exist. This study examined technology acceptance factors for MMS in 398 young people aged 10 to 39 to identify MMS users' continuous intention to use (CITU) via a questionnaire and SPSS21 and PLS-Graph 3.0. The results showed that perceived media richness (PMR) had a positive effect on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and most importantly, CITU. Furthermore, PMR had a positive effect on perceived ease of use as a moderating effect on experience. To increase use efficiency in MMSs based on these results, media richness, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and user experience may serve as important variables affecting users' CITU and provide a basic reference and development direction for MMS users. Future studies should include more variables and examine additional factors when analyzing the structural model.

This is a user experience study of factors that should be considered in designing home appliances experience service. Untact services are emerging, but the development of home appliances sector is in early stage. Based on the six factors of Stephen P. Anderson's Creating Pleasurable Interface Model, this study conducted surveys, 1:1 in-depth interviews, and participation observations to measure and analyze user experience. In this study, I compared 4060s and 2030s's user experience in that the untact services raise the digital alienation among middle-senior-aged. As a result, there were significant differences between the two, including the opposite satisfaction in terms of reliable, usable and pleasurable factors. I hope that this study will be of strategic help in designing future home appliance experience services.

As the evolution of information and communication technologies alters the communication environment at an alarming rate, the avatar has presented itself as one of new means of communication in recent years. The Internet avatar has increasingly placed as an important profit making source of the digital contents. However, studies on how users make decision for choosing the avatar are very seldom. The aim of this study is to understand user's behaviors in the decision making process for selecting the most appropriate avatar among various choices. It also aims to identify major factors and elements for developing an avatar depending on the users purposes. A set of decision-making models, accordingly purpose model and cognitive model, as well as prototype of each model have been developed. Finally, it suggested practical guidelines for designing the avatar in conjunction with purposes of use.

With the proliferation of information technology communication and smart device, the environment where contents are produced and distributed is changing. People can use the contents quickly and easily, and the content industry is attracting attention and creating newly added value by converging with other industries. Accordingly, there is a need for content-related companies to understand the quality of content perceived by users in order to succeed in content, and to use it strategically. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between content quality factors, user satisfaction, and recommendation intention through empirical analysis based on an IS success model. The analysis was conducted using smartPLS3.0 based on a total of 301 survey responses. As a result of the study, it was found that content usefulness, accessible system quality, convenient system quality, service provider trust, and interaction had a significant effect on user's satisfaction. Perceived privacy protection had a significant effect on user satisfaction and recommendation intention. Lastly, it was found that user satisfaction had a significant effect on recommendation intention. The results of this study are expected to provide useful information and therefore content companies can understand about the quality perceived by users.

In this study, a research model is constructed based on the theory of technology adoption. Independent constructs are largely grouped into two: (1) virtual bank characteristics (responsiveness, ease of use, economic benefits, and security), and (2) individual characteristics (innovativeness, self-efficacy and Internet experience). On the dependent side, user satisfaction is posited to influence the loyalty via intention to continuous use. PLS analysis of 194 data points collected revealed that economic benefits, security, innovativeness, and Internet experiences are significantly and positively associated with user satisfaction, intention to continuous use and loyalty. Paths among satisfaction and intention towards the loyalty are also validated. Details of results are discussed with practical and academic implications.

This study analyzed user reviews of Dongbaekjeon and Incheoneum app, which are representative local currencies in Korea, to identify the positive/negative factors of local currency users, and established a marketing strategy based on this. App user reviews were classified into positive and negative based on the star rating, and word cloud, topic modeling, and social network analysis were performed, respectively. As a result, in the negative reviews of Dongbaekjeon and Incheoneum, dissatisfaction with app use and card issuance appeared in common. In positive reviews, keywords such as 'local economy' and 'small business owners' along with satisfaction with 'cashback' appeared. It means that local currency users perceived that their consumption support local economy, and they felt satisfaction in using local currency. Based on the satisfaction/dissatisfaction factors identified as a result of the analysis of this study, we identified what needs to be improved and to be strengthened, and appropriate marketing strategies were established. The text mining method used in this study and research results can provide meaningful information about local currencies to public officials and marketers in charge of local currencies.

기업 내부 및 외부 환경 요인 분석을 통한 올바른 비즈니스 전략 수립은 기업의 최상의 결과 창출로 이어질 수 있다. 때문에 SWOT(Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) 분석을 통해 기업 내부의 강점요인과 약점요인을 인지하고, 기업 외부의 기회요인과 위협요인을 정확하게 분석하는 과정은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 많은 기업들이 그들의 상대적인 강점요인과 약점요인, 기회요인과 위협요인에 대해 정확하게 판단하지 못하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구는 기업이 환경분석 과정에서 보편적으로 활용하는 분석모델 중 하나인 SWOT 분석을 지원하는 도구를 설계 및 구현한 것으로, 각 분야의 전문가들이 작성한 SWOT 분석 결과를 바탕으로 SWOT 분석 사례 DB를 만들어 사용자가 데이터베이스에 저장되어있는 각각의 환경요소를 조회하여 기업에 적합한 환경요소들을 선택, 수정, 추가하게 함으로써 SWOT 분석 시에 기업들이 고려해야하는 내부 및 외부 환경 요인에 대한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 이를 통해 기업들이 자신의 내부 역량에 대해 보다 정확하게 인지하고, 외부 환경 변화에 대한 고찰을 도울 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
