This study investigates the effects of e-CRM on consumer satisfaction and repurchase intention depending on gender differences. A total of 400 surveys were distributed and 382 were used in the analysis. Surveys were conducted on the respondents who had purchased apparel from an internet website within six months. A factor analysis, reliability test, and path analysis were used in the study to analyze the data. After the factor analysis, 6 factors were found under e-CRM activities; benefit and advice, customer contact, service, post-purchase management, assistance with the purchase, and discriminative treatment. The results of this study showed that for male consumers, service and post-purchase management had a positive effect on consumer satisfaction that in turn had a positive effect on repurchase intention. However, for female consumers, benefit and advice, customer contact, service, and discriminative treatment had a positive effect on consumer satisfaction that in turn had a positive effect on repurchase intention. The results also showed that post-purchase management had a positive direct effect on repurchase intention for both genders.

Decision making for gas boiler consumers depends on the characteristics of products such as the price and quality as well as the brand image. Although a gas boiler is a high involvement product in terms of price, in fact, it is a low involvement product which is greatly affected by installers. This study examined variables which affect the level of satisfaction and repurchase intention by surveying about 1,000 housewives through an on-line questionnaire. The results were as follows: first, gas boiler users' general knowledge of gas boilers showed a correct-answer rate of 54.5%. The average satisfaction score of product quality (mean=5.61 out of 7) was higher than that of the satisfactionscore of the company's service (mean=5.46). Second, the level of repurchase intention was above the mid-point (mean=4.72). Multivariate regression found that product satisfaction, service satisfaction, household size, and information sources explained repurchase intentions for gas boilers to be about 50.7%. Gas boiler marketers should pay attention to the survey result in that the level of repurchase intention depends mainly on both consumer satisfaction and information sources.

This study tried to identify major factors which determine repurchase intentions. We consider customer satisfaction, service quality, switching cost and consumption emotions which are recently proposed in the related literatures. To test them empirically, we collected 374 questionnaires among 620 from corporate customers of major banks and 112 from employees of a major bank in corporate banking and analyzed them by LISREL 8.12.. The result of this study can be summed up as follows. First the most important determinant factor in repurchase intentions is customer satisfaction. Second, it is desirable to measure service quality not only in terms of 'process service quality', a process of service delivery to customers, but also 'outcome service quality', what customers receive from services or from service providers. Third, positive consumption emotions have positive influence upon customer satisfaction, negative consumption emotions have negative influence upon customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions. Fourth, switching cost, even though small in its influence, has been proved to be antecedent in repurchase intentions along with customer satisfaction and negative consumption emotions. As precedents in customers' repurchase intentions, customer satisfaction and process service quality are revealed to exercise the biggest influences. Also, positive consumption emotions, negative consumption emotions, outcome service quality and switching cost can be used as determinants in predicting corporate customers' repurchase intentions.

This study was intended to examine the effect that the quality of service delivered by social commercial companies and service providers and perception towards seriousness of service failure would have on the intention of repurchase and revisit. 10 hypotheses were derived from literature review. excluding the questionnaires that contained many missing values or inconsistent or insincere answers. The results of this study can be summarized from 3 aspects. First, it was found that the quality of service delivered by social commerce companies had a statistically significant effect on social commerce companies' service failure(Hypothesis 1) and social commerce company repurchase intention(Hypothesis 3) in connection with the effect that the quality of service delivered by social commerce companies and service providers would have. The quality of service delivered by service providers was found to have a statistically significant effect on service providers' service failure(Hypothesis 2) and service provider revisit intention(Hypothesis 4). Second, the perception towards seriousness of service failure by social commerce companies and service providers was found to have the following effect: The service failure by social commerce companies(Hypothesis 5) was found to have a statistically significant effect on service provider revisit intention(Hypothesis 8), but did not have a statistically significant effect on social commerce company repurchase intention (Hypothesis 6). The service failure by service providers was found to be statistically significant for service provider revisit intention(Hypothesis 7) and social commerce companies purchase intention(Hypothesis 9). Finally, service provider revisit intention was found to be statistically significant for social commerce company repurchase intention(Hypothesis 10).

Recent trends of mobile convergence has already brought about many changes in our digitally-powered society. Especially, taking advantage of strengths of existing mobile devices and smart phones have already been established as a primary standard in the business intelligence world. Such high-powered digital devices equipped with mobile convergence functions are getting more momentum as app stores are prevailing. Basically, the app stores are administered by smart phone manufacturers, creating a new business ecosystem among app developers and end-users. However, there are paucity of studies tackling an issue about how users' repurchase intention of the apps is influenced by the service qualities of the app stores. In this respect, this study aims to investigate the effect of app store service quality on users' satisfaction and repurchase intention. As the value of loyal customers is incomparably high in app commerce, winning customers' loyalty is vital to the success of app stores. In this study, a customer is defined as one who has purchased goods or services at least once from the app stores. The proposed research model includes a number of constructs such as app perceptions, customer service, perceived ease of use, design, promotion, perceived consumer risk and connectivity. Empirical results revealed that perceived consumer risk has a negative relationship with consumer's perceived repurchase intention. All the other variables-app perceptions, customer service, perceived ease of use, design, promotion, connectivity- are found to be positively related with the repurchase intentions.

The main purpose of this study is to conceptualize and investigate the relationships between the antecedents and outcomes of customer satisfaction and the linking variables of brand preference and repurchase intention in service industries. To achieve this objective, the study tries to validate the structural equation model and causal relationships among the model's elements involving antecedents to customer satisfaction(perceived quality, value, equity), consequences(brand preference, repurchase intention), and moderating variable/switching cost, customer loyalty). Empirical findings are as follows: First, the effect of two antecedents/perceived quality and value) on customer. satisfaction was accepted but perceived equity was rejected. Second, I found out that there were direct or indirect relationships between the mediating variables/switching cost, customer loyalty, brand preference) and repurchase intention. This means that the proper management concerned with indirect path is probably more important for the success of services industries. Third, the direct effects of customer satisfaction and switching cost on repurchase intention were not significant against the existing studies excepting brand preference. This implies that repurchase intention was mainly intensified by the indirect path, 'customer loyalty${\rightarrow}$brand preference${\rightarrow}$repurchase intention' and 'switching cost${\rightarrow}$brand preference${\rightarrow}$repurchase intention.' The service marketers make efforts not only to strengthen the direct casual linkage but also to consolidate the indirect connections leading to create repurchase intention. Finally, the proper management of these structural relationships will help clarify the role of service marketer resulting in increasing sustainable competitive advantage in service industries.
