Rapid development of information technology has generated a new industry and market. In particular, network technology such as the Internet and other computer networks made transaction activities switched from traditional offline commerce to e-commerce. Among them, digital content is bit-based object which is created and distributed through electronic environment. In particular, many entertainment contents such as the music, the movies, and the computer game softwares are main products. Although digital content commerce has high potential demand, it lacks the consideration about the factor related to maintaining existing customer such as customer loyalty and switching costs. There has been a number of research on customer loyalty and other factors affecting it in the traditional electronic commerce environment, but there is a lack of research which examines the characteristics of digital content. The study about the effect of switching costs on customer loyalty in digital content commerce is necessary because the customers of digital content commerce market are from those of other e-commerce market or traditional offline commerce market. In addition, customer loyalty and switching costs are important factors because they may build up greater customer retention. For that reason, this study focused on examining the relationships among switching costs, antecedents for switching costs, and customer loyalty in online digital music service industry. The study has three major purposes: (1) to find antecedents of switching costs on digital content commerce and examine effect of antecedents for switching costs; (2) to identify effect of switching costs on customer loyalty in digital content commerce and examine moderating effects of alternative attractiveness; (3) to identify the differences of antecedents for switching costs by contents transmission type(streaming service and downloading service). And, the online digital music service industry is selected in this study since there are many users and transactions incurring. To accomplish these purposes, a survey questionnaire was developed and distributed to 256 informants. Survey instrument was developed based on previous research and pre-established survey items. Total of 206 surveys are collected and used in the data analysis. Among the respondents, 56.8% is male and 43.2% is female. Also, 86 responses were streaming service user group and 120 responses were download service user group. These data was analyzed using regression analysis. Major findings of empirical analysis can be summarized as follows. First, switching costs have positive effect on customer loyalty in digital content commerce environment. Second, the influence of switching costs on customer loyalty increases under conditions of high alternative attractiveness. Third, DRM convenience and breadth of use have positive effect on switching costs. The findings imply that the digital content provider should pay more attention to switching costs in addition to customer satisfaction in order to attract customers. Also, increasing the convenience of DRM use by securing the convenience of user interface and expanding the support device and increasing the service use scope by providing diverse value-added service helps to create a switching barrier. The result of the study can become a practical use in marketing strategy for maintaining existing customer. In particular, switching barrier is very important under conditions of high competition in the online music service market. This study can be used as a basis for further studies about customer retention in digital content commerce.

본 연구는 중국과의 전자상거래 교역에 해상으로 운송되는 화물의 흐름을 분석하고 지역별/품목별로 화물의 특성을 파악하여, 중국으로의 전자상거래 수출 증진 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 기종점 분석 및 시각화 기법을 활용하여 2015년부터 2018년 1분기까지 해상운송을 이용한 대(對)중국 전자상거래 수출입자료를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 현재 중국과 해상특송 서비스를 제공하고 있는 인천항에서 가장 많은 대(對)중국 전자상거래 화물이 수입되고 있었으며, 평택항의 경우, 중국으로부터 수입된 전자상거래 화물이 다시 인천세관으로 운송되어 통관 절차를 거치는 비효율이 발생하고 있음도 파악할 수 있었다. 또한, 최종 배송지가 전국적으로 분포되어 있는 전자상거래 수입의 경우와는 달리, 해상을 통해 중국으로 수출되는 전자상거래 제품들은 배송대행업체 및 포워더 업체들이 밀집된 서울과 경기지역에만 국한되어 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 전자상거래 수입과는 달리, 해상을 통해 수출되는 전자상거래 품목은 주로 의류와 화장품류에 국한되어 있었으며, 수출 규모 역시 수입에 비해 적게 나타나고 있다. 해상을 통한 대(對)중국 전자상거래 수출 활성화 방안으로는 전자상거래 환적을 통해 중국으로의 수출 제품 다변화로 수출 화물량을 증가시키는 방안과 더불어, 중국과의 전자상거래 운송에 콜드체인(cold chain)을 구축하여 수출품의 다변화를 도모하는 방안이 도출되었다.

Purpose - This study examines the influencing factors of China's cross-border e-commerce exports in the context of the current situation and trends of China's cross-border e-commerce development. Through an improved trade gravity model, it provides more in-depth research and constructive opinions on the development of cross-border e-commerce in China. In this paper, factors such as consumption gap, volume of trade frictions, number of tourists, Internet usage and trade openness are added to the formula of the traditional trade gravity model in the improved trade gravity model to examine the influencing factors on China's cross-border e-commerce exports. Design/methodology - According to the empirical analysis, China's cross-border e-commerce exports to ten countries are used as dependent variables, and consumption gap, trade friction volume, trade distance, trade openness and number of Internet users are taken as independent variables. Regression analysis is conducted through a modified gravity model to test whether the hypotheses hold. Findings - The analysis shows that the hypothesis that China's cross-border e-commerce exports are influenced by trade openness, trade distance, consumption gap between trade parties, and the number of Internet users in the importing country is supported by these four hypotheses, but not all independent variables have an impact on them. Specifically, the number of travelers, trade frictions do not have an impact on China's cross-border e-commerce. That is to say, trade friction between China and the United States and political issues such as China-India and China-Japan territorial disputes that emerged before do not affect the development of cross-border e-commerce in China. Originality/value - The analysis shows that the factors influencing China's cross-border e-commerce exports are the trade openness of the importing country, the trade distance, the number of Internet users in the importing country, and the consumption gap between the two sides of the trade. The trade openness and the number of Internet users positively contribute to China's cross-border e-commerce, while the consumption gap and trade distance are negatively related to them. And the analysis found that the Sino-US trade war and the Sino-Indian territorial disputes and other trade frictions to China's cross-border e-commerce exports did not have a substantial impact.

소셜커머스는 최근 성장하고 있는 새로운 거래이자 사회적 현상의 하나이다. SNS의 확산에 따라 소셜커머스 시장은 매우 빠르게 성장하고 있지만 이에 대한 연구는 아직 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구는 소셜커머스에 대한 초기 연구로서 소셜커머스에 대한 소비자들의 이용의도를 알아보는데 그 목적이 있다. Fishbein과 Ajzen(1975)의 합리적 행동이론을 적용하여 소셜커머스가 창출하는 가치가 소셜커머스 이용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 소셜커머스가 창출하는 가치는 경제적, 심리적, 시간적 가치의 세 가지 개념으로 정의하였고, 이들 가치가 태도에 미치는 영향, 태도와 주관적 규범이 이용의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그리고 태도와 이용의도 간의 관계에서 쿠폰상환노력의 조절효과를 검증하였다. SNS를 활발하게 사용하고 새로운 문화 및 기술 수용을 가장 먼저 추구하는 대학생을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 연구결과 경제적 가치와 심리적 가치는 소셜커머스에 대한 태도에 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 시간적 가치는 유의적인 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 태도와 주관적 규범은 이용의도에 유의적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 합리적 행동이론은 소셜커머스를 이용의도를 설명하는데 유용한 모형인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 쿠폰상환에 대한 지각은 태도와 이용의도 간에 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다.

The electronic commerce of agricultural products provides benefits both to the farmers and the consumers because of direct transaction between producers and consumers. This study analyses the factors affecting consumer's purchase intention that are using electronic commerce. And the purpose of this study is to contribute to increasing the farmer's income while operating electronic commerce by applying the results of this analysis. Consumer's purchasing factors in electronic commerce were obtained through literature reviews. The research model is established with the factors and analyses through the structural equation model. The results are as following; the first is how the quality of agricultural products affects positively consumer's satisfaction and trust. When sufficient information about the seller and the products are provided in the shopping mall site there are positive effects on the consumer's satisfaction and trust. The factors of convenience like purchasing time, saving, delivery convenience affect positively consumer's satisfaction. However, the relationship with trust enhancement could not be confirmed. In addition, hypotheses of positive relationships between economic feasibility factors like low price, satisfaction and trust, were rejected. Finally, consumer's satisfaction affects trust, and both the consumer's satisfaction and trust affects positively the purchase intention. In summary, in the electronic commerce of agricultural products, consumers might use electronic commerce as they purchase the reliable high quality products directly from farmers rather than be affected by economic feasibility and convenience factors.

Recently, T-Commerce is emerging to provide new services, with the proliferation of digital broadcasting services. However, T-Commerce market and TV home shopping market are being classified as a legal policy on other markets, such as regulated in the service of live broadcasts. The factor that has inhibited activation T-Commerce related to the lack of appropriate institutions and legal systems in the market, despite the environment with the digital broadcasting service is being spread.

The results showed that the TV-based shopping customers are important to think 'Responsive', 'Playfulness', 'Live broadcast', 'Convenience' and 'Bidirectional' in the order. The 'Responsive' and 'Live broadcast' of such attributes are served as possible only in TV home shopping, because these attributes don't service due to legal and institutional regulations in T-commerce market. The cluster analysis result also showed that TV shopping consumers are more important to think 'Responsive', 'Playfulness', 'Live broadcast' than 'Convenience' and 'Bidirectional', except one of the classification clusters. If real-time broadcast service is impossible because of the legal and institutional regulations, it seems to require the expansion of the services linked the terrestrial broadcasting to the activating T-Commerce market.
