It can be said that nowadays, customers don't recognize that only good quality products as selection attribute regarding products quality can satisfy them. The case in service industries is also the same. Service quality is most affected by the criteria that customers themselves evaluate.

Collected questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS v.15 for the concrete proof analysis and the results are as follows. First, Service quality works as an important factors on customer's behavior. Second, Relationship quality serves as a mediated role between service quality and customer's behavior.

Some customer data of manufacturing industries have a large number of incomplete data set due to the customer's infrequent purchasing behavior and the limitation of customer profile data gathered from sales representatives. So that, most sophisticated data analysis methods may not be applied directly. This paper proposes a heuristic data analysis method to classify customers in household appliances industries. The proposed PD (percent of difference) method can be used for the discriminant analysis of incomplete customer data with simple mathematical calculations. The method is composed of variable distribution estimation step, PD measure and cluster score evaluation steps, variable impact construction step, and segment assignment step. A real example is also presented.

Data were analyzed by the SPSS for windows 10.0 program. Result: Level of customer satisfaction were closely related to one of revisiting intention (r=.791, p=.000). 2) Through multiple regression analysis, factors that affect the customer' revisiting intention were found to be satisfaction in consultation of results (F=126.166, p=.000), examination environment (F=77.490, p=.001), and examination process (F=55.932, p=.024). It could explain 64.4% of customers' revisiting intention. Group displaying higher level of satisfaction showed highly increase in health belief following the examination, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-2.035, p=.045). They also showed a more improved health promoting behavior following the examination, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-2.316, p=.023).

This qualitative study explores the impact of online food delivery platform attributes on customer satisfaction and repurchase intentions. Employing a phenomenological approach, we conducted in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 15 participants to gain rich insights into user experiences. Thematic analysis revealed key factors influencing satisfaction and loyalty: service quality dimensions (efficiency, reliability, fulfillment, privacy), expectation disconfirmation, perceived usefulness and ease of use, multi-level customer value, relationship quality, electronic word-of-mouth, value co-creation, and phased loyalty formation. Our findings extend customer behavior theory in digital platforms, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex mechanisms underlying user satisfaction and repurchase decisions. The study provides valuable implications for platform operators, highlighting the importance of exceeding customer expectations, enhancing user experience, building trust, leveraging user-generated content, and fostering co-creation processes. Methodologically, we demonstrate the efficacy of qualitative approaches in uncovering nuanced insights in digital service contexts. While acknowledging limitations in generalizability, this research establishes a solid foundation for future investigations into the rapidly evolving domain of online food delivery services. The integrated theoretical approach offers a robust model for analyzing customer behavior in emerging digital service environments, contributing significantly to both academic understanding and practical application in the field of digital service provision and platform management.

Purpose - This research is to empirically explore the differences in apparel consumption among male and female teenagers and college students in Korea and China. By conducting a survey to understand customers' needs and behaviors, fashion businesses will be able to improve their customer satisfaction and avoid redundancy, inventory, and the waste of resources, effort and money. Design/methodology - The research design considers the consumption patterns of male and female high school and college students in Korea and China. To analyze the data, the study employs decision trees, a type of machine learning algorithm. A decision tree model was developed to examine the relationship between the explanatory and response variables, which can be either quantitative or qualitative in nature. Findings - The main findings of this study indicate that there are differences in shopping behavior among different customer segments. The results show that men have a simpler shopping behavior compared to women. Additionally, cultural factors and the difference in fashion needs between students and non-students have a significant impact on the shopping choices of Chinese and Korean individuals. Originality/value - Existing studies often assume that the shopping behavior of high school and university students is similar and that there are no significant differences in clothing purchases between men and women across countries. The results provide valuable insights into the unique shopping behavior of different customer segments, and can inform fashion businesses in their efforts to meet the needs of their customers.

Customer retention has been a pressing issue for companies to get and maintain the loyal customers in the competing environment. Lots of researchers make effort to seek the characteristics of the churning customers and the loyal customers using the data mining techniques such as decision tree. However, such existing researches don't consider relationships among customers. Social network analysis has been used to search relationships among social entities such as genetics network, traffic network, organization network and so on. In this study, a customer network is proposed to investigate the differences of network characteristics of churning customers and loyal customers. The customer networks are constructed by analyzing the real purchase data collected from a Korean cosmetic provider. We investigated whether the churning customers and the loyal customers have different degree centralities and densities of the customer networks. In addition, we compared products purchased by the churning customers and those by the loyal customers. Our data analysis results indicate that degree centrality and density of the churning customer network are higher than those of the loyal customer network, and the various products are purchased by churning customers rather than by the loyal customers. We expect that the suggested social network analysis is used to as a complementary analysis methodology with existing statistical analysis and data mining analysis.
