Purpose - Recently, internet access and social network utilization using smart phone are increasing. In such a smart environment, interactive activities such as information generation, information searching and information sending are increasing rapidly on-line environment. Therefore, consumers tend to purchase something according to eWOM and also meet the social consensus online environment. In connectivity society, consumers became accessible and engaged in the opinions of others easily. Many decisions that seem like personal decisions are actually social decisions on online connectivity. This paper seeks to explore factors that can help generate a social decision on purchasing of new products in an online environment. Research design, data, and methodology - The process of collecting a lot of wisdom and making an agreement online is called social decision. The purpose of this paper is to examine empirically the influence of factors such as online ties, online eWOM expectancy and online information behavior on online social decision. In addition, We studied online social decision by analyzing the moderating effect of new product innovation. To understand this structural relationship, research hypotheses and research models were set up and empirical analysis was conducted. In order to verify the hypothesis, 208 questionnaires were collected from the residents of Seoul city/Gyeonggi province. The answered questionnaire verifies reliability and validity using SPSS/AMOS and test hypotheses through path analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results - According to the research results, First, online ties don't have a positive impact on online social decision, Second, online eWOM expectancy have a positive impact on online social decision. Third, online information behaviors have a positive impact on online social decision. The degree of innovation of new products have a moderating effect between Independent variables of three factors and dependent variable of social decision. Conclusions - Social decisions have a positive impact on purchasing decisions about new product. There is a great significance in the fact that the online social influence and online social decision have been studied academically. It is meaningful that we have studied in depth the changing phenomenon of consumer purchase decision process in smart environment. The results of these studies provide academic and practical implications.

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR), green supply chain management (GSCM) practices, and business performances. After reviewing the extensive literature, we developed a research model including five constructs: CSR, GSCM practices, environmental, economic and operational performances. We conducted the statistical analyses based on the primary data collected from a survey questionnaire, responded by 93 different company managers in the Republic of Guatemala. Furthermore, we utilized structural equation modeling to analyze the data and to test the hypotheses. The results of the analyses showed that there is a significant influence of CSR on the adoption of GSCM practices. It was also found that GSCM practices have a significant influence on environmental, economic and operational performances. In addition, environmental performance has a significant impact on economic and operational performance. Finally, GSCM has a mediating role on the relationship between CSR and environmental and economic performance, but not with operational performance.

This study aims to examine factors influencing the intention to continue using the metaverse, focusing on the impact of social norms. Specifically, direct and indirect effects of technical characteristics (perceive quality, interactivity, perceived playfulness), user characteristics (self-efficacy, personal innovativeness), and social influence factors (descriptive norm, injunctive norm, subjective norm) on continuous use intention were examined. The role of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness as a mediator was also examined. An online survey was conducted with 165 college students attending universities in two large cities in South Korea who had used the metaverse. As a result, perceived playfulness, descriptive norm, and perceived usefulness directly influenced continuous use intention. Perceived playfulness, interactivity, and subjective norm influenced continuous use intention indirectly through perceived usefulness. This study theoretically extends the Technology Acceptance Model by specifying social influence in metaverse contexts. Practical implications are provided in terms of marketing strategy for the metaverse industry to continue to grow and develop.

This study aims to explore the Internet personal broadcasting quality factors that influence viewer satisfaction and dissatisfaction based on the motivation-hygiene theory. Specifically, the quality factors that affect viewer satisfaction of Internet personal broadcasting are derived from the perspectives of extrinsic (contents usefulness and media usability), intrinsic (emotional/cognitive/behavioral enjoyment and creator characteristics), and social motivation (visibility, subjective norm, image, sociality). The data of 200 respondents was used to analyze the relative impact of satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the Kano model, which assumes that viewer satisfaction at both functional and emotional levels varies over quality attributes. In the empirical analysis, the quality factors were classified into attractive, one-dimensional, must-be, and indifferent quality. In addition, it was found that the customer satisfaction coefficient was high in the order of uniqueness, differentiation, and visibility. On the other hand, as a result of applying the dissatisfaction coefficient, it was identified in the order of donation, content reliability, and creator responsiveness.

인터넷을 중심으로 한 정보기술의 급격한 발전은 정보화 사회로의 패러다임 전환을 가져오면서 사회적 여론을 형성하는 과정에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 이에 따라 디지털 매체를 활용하여 온라인에서 정보를 생성하고 유통하며 사회적 합의에 이르는 정보처리 매커니즘의 변화에 대한 연구의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사회적 정보처리 과정의 고찰을 통하여 사회적 합의도출 및 제도화의 프로세스 모델을 도출하고 인터넷 매체에서의 정보처리 특성을 분석하였다. 정보처리 매커니즘의 변화를 분석하기 위하여 사회적 맥락 속에서 집단적 행동을 분석하는 질적 연구방법인 인류학적 접근법(ethnographic approach)을 적용하여 2가지 사례를 관찰 분석하였다. 사회적 컨센서스 형성과정은 사회적 의제의 제기, 여론 활동에서의 선택적 반영, 의제의 수용과 확산, 공론화와 사회적 합의, 제도화와 피드백이라는 5가지 단계로 구성되어진다. 인터넷 매체에서의 정보처리 특성은 사건에의 능동적 반응, 오피니언 리더의 역할 전이, 발의와 분석의 탄력성, 높은 확장성, 합의도출에의 적합성, 제도화와 상호작용 등 6가지로 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 사회구성원의 정보를 공유하고 사회적 여론을 이끄는 과정을 설명하는 모텔을 제시함으로써 정보처리 구조를 사회적 네트워크 관점에서 고찰할 수 있는 이론적 기반을 마련하였다. 또한 그리고 인터넷 매체의 사회적 효용을 사회적 정보처리라는 새로운 기준으로 분석하여 정치, 커뮤니케이션 경영분야에서의 미디어 활용 및 의사결정의 합리성 제고에 기여할 것으로 보인다.

본 연구는 자존감 수준이 인터넷 중독에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기존 다양한 연구에서 인터넷 중독을 치료하거나 예방하기 위한 방법은 소개하였지만 인터넷 중독의 원인적 요소에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 인터넷 중독은 다양한 원인 요소에 의해 심화되지만 가장 큰 원인 요소가 자존감 수준일 것이라는 가설을 설정하고 설문을 통하여 가설을 검증하는 방법으로 진행하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 사회 환경적 요인이나 가정 환경적 요인보다 심리적 요인인 자존감 수준이 인터넷 중독을 자져오는 주요 변인으로 나타났다. 즉, 자존감 수준이 낮을수록 인터넷 중독이 심화되는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구의 결과물은 향후 인터넷 중독 치료를 위한 다양한 프로그램에 자존감 수준을 높이기 위한 참고자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Traditional Internet pricing schemes are coming under continual pressure to adapt to, and encourage, a changing mix of Internet applications and consumer usage patterns. Much research effort over the last decade has been focused on developing more efficient and attractive charging schemes. However, none of the proposed models has been widely deployed. This raises questions regarding the inhibiting factors and missing pieces that make pricing the Internet such a challenge. In this paper, we discuss the problems with current Internet pricing schemes, review the history of Internet pricing research over the last ten years, and summarize the key features and motivations of the most significant models. We develop a novel visual approach to comparing and evaluating such schemes using a three-dimensional (3D) metric encompassing technical efficiency, economic efficiency, and social impact. We address and discuss the important factors that have inhibited the deployment of the reviewed models and suggest productive areas of focus for future Internet pricing research.
