Purpose - This study aims to propose and validate a research model that describes the relationships between customer socialization, customer participation, and customer loyalty in the online service industry. Although customer loyalty is frequently discussed topic in marketing and strategy research, this study takes a novel approach in adopting customer socialization and participation as the antecedents to customer loyalty. Research design, data, and methodology - Based on adopting and modifying measurement items of the constructs from previous studies, this study develops survey regarding the constructs within the proposed research model. Among current registered members of Facebook and DaumKakao, 522 college students and other regular users are selected as the samples for conducting the survey. The collected data is analyzed by structural equation modeling method using SPSS and AMOS. Results Proposed hypotheses of the positive relationships - between customer socialization and customer participation, and between customer participation and customer loyalty are all supported. Conclusions - The results of this study suggest customer participation as an important precursor to customer loyalty in the online service industry. Also, customer socialization is validated as a new strategy to increase customer participation. These results validate the practical importance of communicating mission, purpose, value, and other customer socialization activities that firms undertake.

With the pervasiveness of digital environment and expansion of new media, ICT (Information and Communication Technology) leads the role of consumer to change from a passive customer into an active co-producer. As customer participation in the fashion industry increases, this study attempts to explore the cases of customer participation as a co-producer in fashion industry through analyzing business models of companies, including Threadless, Blank label, Cut on Your Bias, Acustom Apparel, Thinkgivers. The results show that customer participation is mainly facilitated through design participation in fashion industry, with different level of participation and IT as well as different contribution target. Compared to the past, consumer’s preference is reflected through participation before the stage of production. Results indicate three main characteristics of customer participation in fashion industry. First, value co-creations using customer experiences and understanding customer needs are important. Second, active online communication among customers are critical. Third, it is important to ensure customer’s own item. From a customer perspective, participation enables them to purchase their own distinctive product and offers exciting experience and satisfaction over the production processes, and compensation can be used to increase customer participation. On the other hand, companies using customer participation can take advantage of cost reduction in product development, inventory, and marketing. Customer participation, as a win-win strategy for business and consumer, is expected to expand further in the future with the development of ICT.

As the number of smart phone users increases, many organizations begin to adopt social media rapidly to diversify communication channels with customers. Specifically, twitter, which supports instant and two-way communications between users and between organizations and users, has been adopted by many organizations as an efficient way not only to identify new customers but also to retain existing customers. However, little attention has been given to the issue on how organizations can effectively use twitter to improve customer satisfaction. To explore the issue, this study proposes two major dimensions, customer participation and organization resource utilization, which should be considered in building a utilization strategy for twitter in organizations. We then develop four different combinations along with these dimensions-follow, mention, retweet, and review types. Based on case studies of 27 organizations that use twitter, we evaluate the degrees of customer participation, resource utilization, and customer satisfaction, and examine matching or mismatching of the adoption purpose of twitter and its actual utilization. The study results reveal that organizations in the matching group show higher customer satisfaction that those in the mismatching group. This study sheds new light on twitter research by developing a new conceptual framework and using a case study approach to explore the relationship between the utilization strategy of twitter and customer satisfaction.

본 연구는 최근 새로운 고객 참여방식으로 자리매김한 고객 투표를 통한 마케팅 의사결정 방식에 주목하였다. 이는 서비스 산업에서도 중요한 고객 임파워먼트 전략(Customer Empowerment Strategy, CES)의 하나인 선택형 임파워먼트 형태라고 할 수 있다. 선택형 임파워먼트 중 투표방식의 장단점에 국한되어 있는 선행연구와는 달리 본 연구에서는 다수의 최종안이 선정되는 상황을 상정하고, 고객이 하나의 후보에 투표하는 단수투표 시스템과 복수의 후보에 투표하는 다중투표 시스템 간의 차이를 고객의 지속적 투표 참여 의사와 투표 참여 행태를 통해 분석하였다. 또한, 이러한 투표 시스템 간의 차이를 만드는 요인을 투표 결과의 불확실성으로 보고 그 매개효과를 검증하였다. 연구 가설의 검증을 위해 사람과 상품을 대상으로 투표를 하는 두 개의 실험을 진행하였으며, 다중선형회귀분석과 매개효과 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 상품 투표의 경우 다중투표 시스템은 고객 참여 의사와 전략적 투표 행태를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났으나, 사람에 대한 투표의 경우 전략적 투표 행태에만 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 불확실성은 다중투표 시스템의 효과를 매개하지 않아 간접효과는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 학술적으로 선택형 임파워먼트를 세분화시킴으로써 향후 연구에서 고객 참여 방식을 구체화 했다는 점과 실무적으로 기업의 투표 시스템 선택에 방향성을 제시한다는 측면에서 기여점이 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 제품/서비스 개발 과정에 있어서 공급자와 고객이 언제 어떻게 참여해야 하는가는 실증적으로 규명하는 것이다. 이를 통해 이들을 어떻게 그리고 언제 참여시키는 것이 효과적인지에 대한 함의를 제시할 수 있다. 분석결과 높은 고객 참여는 전략설계와 제품/서비스 혁신간의 관계를 조절하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 제품 개발 초기에 고객이 참여할 경우 혁신성과를 높일 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 반대로 평가개선 단계에서 고객의 높은 참여는 제품/서비스 혁신에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 평가개선 단계에서는 고객의 아이디어보다는 제품/서비스를 실현할 수 있는 전문지식이 더 요구됨을 나타낸다.

Purpose By participating in the business ecosystems, customers make both positive and negative impacts in the ecosystem. In particular, users of platform businesses participate in the business ecosystem as partial employees who voluntarily create and manage content. According to the organizational behavior literature, employees' psychological ownership toward the organization has an influence on the organizational competitiveness. Thus, with an assumption that customers gain psychological ownership toward the business that they participate in, it is important to analyze the process and the factors that influence their psychological ownership. This study proposes a research model that describes the process: customers undertake customer socialization, which then lead them to participate in the business-level and the business ecosystem-level activities. Through the participation, customers gain psychological ownership toward the business. Design/methodology/approach Based on a structural equation model, this study analyzes the data regarding the factors in the research model. Data was collected by surveying college students who represent themselves as Facebook and DaumKakao users. By analyzing the collected data, the relationships are validated between customer socialization and customer participations (i.e., both business-level and business ecosystem-level participation), and between the participations and customers' psychological ownership. Findings Based on the validation, this study confirms the importance of managing customers' psychological ownership and offers customers' participation by their socialization as a solution for increasing customers' psychological ownership. Also, this study proposes the business ecosystem research model as the general research framework for future research and expands the scope of strategic management from the individual level strategy to the business ecosystem wide perspective.
