In this paper, we analyzed the tendencies differences between subscriber and non-subscriber of the bundling service in telecommunications service to establish marketing strategies of the bundling service. we derived the subjective norm and personal innovation as tendency variables of users in using LTE(Long Term Evolution) services, which are based on bundling sales motivation theory, theory of reasoned action, and diffusion of innovation theory. The tendency variables were compared between subscriber and non-subscriber of the bundling service through statistical T-test in empirical study. As a result, we discovered that there are differences in both subjective norm and personal innovation between subscriber and non-subscriber of the bundling service.

Researchers are making contradictory claims through the concept of superstars and long tails about how the development of IT technology affects demand distribution. Unlike previous studies that focused on changes in demand from a macro point of view, this study explored whether the relationship between a company's marketing activities and consumer response differs depending on the product location (i.e., superstar vs. long tail) from a micro point of view. Based on the marketing mix framework, hypotheses were developed based on the relevant literature. In the case of empirical analysis, 2,835 daily data from 63 Korean films were tested using the quantile regression method. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the influence of marketing mix factors on sales varies depending on the location of the product. Specifically, the appeal breadth of the film and the effect of owned media are enhanced in superstar products, and the effect of acquisition media in long-tail products is enhanced and the negative effects of competition are mitigated. Unlike previous studies that focused on macroscopic changes in demand distribution, this study suggested marketing activities suitable for practitioners through microscopic analysis.

중소기업 제품이 글로벌 시장을 선도하려면 기술혁신과 시장 경쟁력을 갖는 혁신 제품개발 지원을 위한 인프라 구축은 필수적이다. 다시 말해서 기술 및 제품개발에 일련의 신제품 개발 프로세스를 기업들이 잘 시행하고, 기술혁신 및 제품개발의 성공률 제고를 위해서는 기존 기업지원 프로그램을 보강할 필요성이 있다. 또한 개발된 원천기술과 상용화 간의 간극(gap)을 줄이고 기술개발의 연쇄적인 문제점을 해소할 R&BD(Research & Business Development)인프라를 구축하여 기술/제품에 대한 지식을 폭넓은 분야의 전문가 또는 사용자들과 공유하고 완성도가 높은 시제품 제작으로 기업의 한정된 내부자원과 상품성을 보완할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 개발환경과 자원이 열악한 중소기업의 기술개발-사업개발-시장개발이 통합적으로 고려되어 활용될 수 있는 신개념의 시스템 도입 필요성과 위의 제반 문제점들을 해결할 수 있는 소셜기반 manufacturing platform과 제품 제작 인프라 및 기업지원, marketing 등을 지원하는 신 에코시스템인 CSP(Crowd Sourcing Platform) 구축 및 서비스 디자인에 대해 논한다.

Broadcast-telecommunication bundling services provide customized services and reduce household telecommunication costs, contributing to the improvement of users' welfare. However, following the recent fierce competition of broadcast-telecommunication providers, the Korea Communications Commission, an organization that regulates promotional gifts and fee-reduction benefits to attract subscribers, has imposed a series of regulations. The excessive offering of promotional gifts can distort fair market competition and damage users. Yet if all bundling services are regulated uniformly, some benefits for users may be reduced, and the autonomous marketing competition of service providers may be restricted, thereby shrinking the entire communications market. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate domestic and foreign regulations on promotional gifts and other offerings related to broadcast-telecommunication bundling services, to analyze problems with respect to the current regulations and to propose an improvement plan. The study asserts that it is necessary to improve the violation decision criteria of the Korea Communications Commission and its regulations on broadcast-telecommunication service providers' promotional gifts in order to regulate the bundling services reasonably. In addition, it proposes a proper regulation of the OTS(Olleh TV Skylife) product, a new service emerging in the evolution of the bundling service type.

The introduction of smartphone caused the most revolutionary change in the domestic telecommunications market after the digital revolution. However, due to the saturation of the local market, it is expected to post negative growth in 2016 and the sales of national communication carriers is in stasis. Thus, the smartphone industry is starting to shift its marketing efforts to secure the silver generation who still has room for increase in the rate of smartphone usage. As the silver generation has physical limitations and differences in needs, the marketing strategy based on the smartphone utilization is not appropriate. This study suggests the new silver generation, who has high income level and similar characteristics to the younger generation, as the new customer segment for smartphone. We analyze the effects of the major variables of UTAUT on smartphone use, as well as examine how these relationships differ between the new silver and the net generation. We verified the hypotheses using a survey with 309 smartphone users. The research findings supported the hypotheses regarding the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions on smartphone use, but did not support the hypothesis on the effect of social influence. The result of the group comparisons showed that both generation have similar characteristics on innovativeness and cognitive absorption, but the moderating effect of age on performance expectancy, effort expectancy and use is stronger in conjunction with the new silver generation. The study results are expected to be used in establishing a marketing strategy for the new silver generation.

There has been little research on the factors affecting this low market diffusion. This study is based on an analytical framework in which a lack of service capability and the insufficiency of service-related activities have resulted in the current poor market performance. An expert survey was conducted on WiBro specialists and verified using the analytical hierarchy process method. The result of this analysis is as follows: underinvestment in network deployment and marketing, insufficient promotional policies, and a shortage of service capabilities are to be analyzed as the main causes of WiBro's low market diffusion.

Component-based software reuse has been generally regarded as a promising approach to improving software productivity and quality within software development. However, progress in component-based software reuse has been slower than expected. Much of the software reuse literature points to the lack of software components that can maximize users' benefits as the most important source of the slow progress. Considering that the underlying processes behind component-based software reuse are strikingly similar to commercial software marketing, this paper attempts to identify the aspects of software components that consumers value and to establish relationships between the identified aspects and consumer behavior in the software component market. More specifically, this paper focuses on the perceived subjective features of software components. This study was conducted in a web-based artificial market environment called "SofTrade."
