This study aims at examining the effect of word-of-mouth communication through mini homepage on purchase attributes and mapping out a marketing strategy based on this. For this, it made an analysis of the communication level with 302 mini homepage users. The result showed that the communication level of information exchange has a positive effect on the purchase experience of food service products significantly, showing that the higher its level is, the more frequent its experience is. And it showed that the communication level of relationship retention has a negative effect on the purchase experience of food service products significantly, showing that the higher its level is, the less frequent its experience is. These results demonstrated the utility that can increase word-of-mouth communications through information exchange and relationship retention, given that they are used with the object based on the kinship of information exchange and relationship retention as word-of-mouth communications, and that they lay stress on the connection with other people in the mini homepage.

As the Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) service enters the broadcasting market, the competition intensifies. This paper explains the factors influencing new media subscription and their influential differences on IPTV and digital cable TV (DCTV). We use the information systems success model and gratification opportunity theory to develop our research model. We sample 621 people and collect their responses through web-based measuring software. Structural model analysis shows that the willingness to subscribe to a new broadcasting medium is influenced by three characteristics of the medium: media richness, interactivity, and video quality. Multigroup analysis reveals that motivation to use a medium partially differs between IPTV and DCTV. This research concludes that the IPTV service is not attractive enough to act as a substitute for the already existing DCTV. In addition, for the IPTV service to proliferate, its business model should be promoted with new and differentiated revenue structures and services. The managerial implications in this study help new media businesses set business goals and product functionality, and allocate resources for the continued diffusion of IPTV.

CuSnZn electroplating was investigated as alternative to Ni plating. Evaluation of electrolyte and plating process was performed to control physical characteristics of the film, and to collect practical data for application. Hull-cell test was conducted for basic comparison of two commercialized products and developed product. Based on hull-cell test results, long term test of three electrolytes was performed. Various analysis on long term tested electrolyte and samples have been done. Reliable and practical data was collected using FE-SEM (FEI, Sirion), EDX (ThermoNoran SIX-200E), ICP Spectrometer (GBC Scientifi c, Integra XL), FIB (FEI, Nova600) for anlysis. Physical analysis and reliability test of the long term tested film were also carried out. Through this investigation plating time, plating speed, electrolyte composition, electrolyte metal consumption, hardness and corrosion resistance has been compared. This set of data is used to predict and control the chemical composition of the film and modify the physical characteristics of the CuSnZn alloy.

These days, anyone can easily product and share their own content through a web service such as blogs and SNS. However, contents are being operated separately because of the space limitation in individual SNS. Therefore, it is hard to search contents efficiently in individual SNS. To solve this problem, this paper propose a "Private Contents Management and Sharing Service with Voluntary Sharing Economy System." The system is in part [Input], [Save] and it provides a way to collect the content that are scattered on the Internet based on the creation of personal index. It also proposes a more systematic content management and sharing by creating and updating the website standard index by introducing an index Coordinator concept. Furthermore in [Use] section, by providing a portion of the index as the primary search results, it avoid unclassified content list which was simply collected by users. In conclusion, unlike previous studies, this system will contribute to the acquisition and management of interspersed content and ultimately contribute to the shared activation by preventing secondary processing and unauthorized processing to the original article.

Purpose: A restaurant is a business of the physical distribution of food and beverages which includes intercultural interaction. This research paper aims to examine the influence of Japanese taste as a product advantage, determining service quality factor in the restaurant business, the e-CRM that involves technology, social media campaigns to reach the target market of young people, and customer satisfaction on customer loyalty in Sushi Tei restaurant. This study also intends to find direct and indirect influence between the variables. Research design, data and methodology: Quantitative research was conducted using a survey method by distributing 100 questionnaires to Sushi Tei customers in Jakarta, consisting of Gen Z and Millennials. Samples were taken at each outlet in the Jakarta area on weekend and weekdays by purposive sampling. Data was generated by path analysis Results: The results showed that Japanese taste, service quality, and e-CRM significantly influence customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. However, social media campaigns failed to influence customer loyalty. As a result, customer satisfaction has a significant influence on customer loyalty within Sushi Tei restaurant. Conclusion: The study also proposed significant implications to develop and maintain a relationship with the customer to gain satisfaction and loyalty in the food and beverage industry.

As the technological gap amongst manufacturers decreases, the life cycle of products has shortened, and competition accelerates due to the development of technology, incumbent manufacturing companies face growth limitations. In order to overcome such business issues, manufacturing companies are increasingly interested in changes in business models and innovations, especially in the direction of providing services where they can maintain the competitive advantage of their products. In such context, this empirical study examines managerial leadership, differentiation strategies, and products and services pricing as 'servitization factors', which can be driving forces for moving into a new era of growth for Korean SMEs, focusing on the mediating effects of servitization competency. The results are as follows : First, it was confirmed that executive leadership, differentiation strategy, and information & communication technology capability have a direct effect on service sales. Second, the process competency, partnership competency, and ICT competency, which are presented as the service competence of SMEs, were found to play an important role in inducing service sales in managerial leadership, differentiation strategy, product and services pricing. It also emphasized the role of the public policy such as helping to foster SMEs as key partners in the expansion of social facilities and establishing platforms through ICT and data utilization for the convergence of manufacturing services.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate impacts of e-Commerce traits on intention to use platform extended services based on Value-Attitude-Behavior(VAB) framework as well as the moderating effect of network impact as the current e-Commerce platforms provide more extended services to their customers. Design/methodology/approach The research model was developed based on the literature review and VAB framework in order to empirically investigate impacts of e-Commerce platform characteristics. The survey was conducted in order to test proposed hypotheses. 298 collected responses were analyzed for the structural equational modeling(SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0. Findings Findings show that all proposed hypotheses were supported with exception of responsiveness. Among five constructs represented as e-Commerce platform characteristics, product variety had a highest impact on platform value. In addition, this study confirmed that the variable - network effect - strength the relationship between platform attitude and intention to use extended service.
