KakaoTalk has become a reputed mobile social network and an inseparable part of people's lives by leading the mobile industry in South Korea. However, there is a lack of studies in academia regarding perception of the consumers and assessment toward the mobile marketing and services by KakaoTalk. Based on the theoretical orientation of Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM: Petty & Cacioppo, 1986) and electronic service quality (E-S-QUAL: Parasuraman, Zeithaml, & Malhotra, 2005), this study investigates the effects of information sources (Charles & Richard, 1988), and examines the consumer perception toward the service quality of KakaoTalk. A total of 209 responses were collected, using a self-administered survey in Seoul and Gyeonggi province, South Korea from March 2015 to June 2015. A seven-point Likert scale survey was developed to measure the information sources (i.e., argument quality, post popularity, and post attractiveness), electronic service quality (i.e., efficiency, fulfillment, privacy, and system availability), attitude (i.e., usefulness, preference, and overall attitude), and behavioral intention (i.e., like intention, share intention, and purchase intention). This study reveals a consensus that an online environment is different from the traditional retail context in terms of information source and service quality. Specifically, the results indicate that argument quality greatly impacts the attitudes of the individuals and their behavioral intention toward mobile shopping via social media channel. The most powerful factor among E-S-QUAL is "efficiency." This dimension of service quality influences the customer perception of usefulness and preference as well as share and like intention toward mobile shopping on KakaoTalk.

본 논문은 게임화된 광고 플랫폼으로서 소셜 네트워크 게임을 활용하는 방안에 대하여 연구하고자 진행되었다. 아이폰이 세상에 소개된 후 스마트폰 시장은 급격한 성장을 이루었고, 스마트 폰 시장의 성장은 모바일을 통한 소셜 네트워크 서비스와 소셜 네트워크 게임의 시장의 성장으로 이어졌다. 이에 본 논문에서는 소셜 네트워크 게임을 게임화된 광고의 플랫폼으로 이용하여 효율적인 광고매체로 활용하는 방안에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 기존의 띠 배너 형태의 모바일 광고 형태가 아닌 게임의 형식안에 자연스럽게 광고를 결합시킨 새로운 개념의 모바일 광고 모델을 위해 설계된 모바일 소셜네트워크 게임인 <레스토랑스타>의 사례를 분석해 보았다. 본 연구를 통하여 모바일 소셜 네트워크 게임의 광고 플랫폼으로서의 새로운 가능성을 모색할 수 있음을 알게 되었다.

Purpose Social Network Service (SNS) users feel fatigue in process of using open type of SNS like Facebook and Twitter. Compared to the open SNS, the closed SNS takes an closed form to prevent privacy exposure, and they are more practical and advantageous to form deeper social relationships. This study attempt to examine the effects of the mobile closed SNS characteristics (such as usefulness, playfulness, perceived security, psychological privacy, social influence, and belonging) on the users' continuous SNS usage intention. Design/methodology/approach This study used a mixed methodology combining in-depth interviews and empirical validation to investigate the effects of the mobile closed SNS characteristics on the continuous SNS usage intention of users. Findings Analytical results from a survey of 210 mobile closed SNS users showed that except perceived security, the effects of the five SNS characteristics on continuous SNS usage intention were significant. These findings contribute to improving the quality of mobile closed SNS services and suggesting SNS related marketing strategies.

모바일 디바이스의 진화와 무선 네트워크의 발전으로 스마트폰 기반 모바일 소셜 네트워크 서비스의 사용자가 증가하고 있다. 또한 실시간 의사소통과 정보공유에 따른 개인정보 유출이 심각한 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 먼저 OpenAPI를 이용하여 소셜 네트워크 서비스 플랫폼에 연동 가능한 프레임워크를 설계하고, 개인정보보호 강화를 위해 구현된 프레임워크에 인증과 탐지 메커니즘을 제안하였다. 인증 방식으로는 아이디와 패스워드를 사용하고 탐지 방법은 사용자가 지정한 입력패턴을 분석하여 개인정보보호 가이드라인에 해당하는지 사전에 미리 검증함으로써 소셜 네트워크 서비스 환경에서의 개인정보보안을 강화하였다. 마지막으로 성능 평가를 수행하여 본 연구의 효율성 및 타당성을 입증하였다.

우리나라는 1995년 이동전화 가입자수가 백만명, 1998년 천만명을 돌파한 이래 비약적으로 증가하여 현재 우리나라는 인구대비 이동통신단말기의 보급률이 110%를 넘어섰다. 현재는 어린이나 학생 등 비경제 활동 인구들까지 이동통신 단말기를 사용하고 있다. 명백히 필수재가 된 이동통신 단말기는 그 보급대수가 냉장고, 세탁기, 진공청소기 및 승용차를 추월하고 있다. 그런데 이동통신의 생활화로 이동통신단말기와 서비스는 아주 중요한 필수재로 자리매김하였으나 단말기 대금과 서비스요금 을 비롯한 통신관련 비용은 가계의 큰 부담이 되고 있다. 그런데 공정한 경쟁을 통하여 소비자 후생 나아가 사회적 후생을 최대화 할 수 있도록 시장의 실패를 방지해야할 정부는 적시에 적절한 역할을 하지 못하고 있는 것으로 보인다. 이동통신전화가 상용화된 1990년대 초부터 현재까지의 이동통신정책중 이동통신망 공동이용, 번호이동, 단말기 유통과 이통서비스의 분리, 망중립성 확보는 주인-대리인문제(principal agent problem) 등 공공선택과 관련한 문제점들을 노정하고 있다.

Recently, South Korea preferentially allocated frequencies to build 5G networks as a core competitiveness of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Although the government recognize the importance of 5G construction and preoccupation, network operators have limited to some services, testing the possibility of practical use of 5G. They hesitated to actively build and to carry out the service of a complete 5G network. While 5G is being developed and standardized like this, no one is sure of this step exactly what 5G will be. Thus, following research questions are asked by various stakeholders of 5G market: What is an ideal service providing method for the practical use of 5th generation mobile network? And what are the critical elements to be considered when selecting the service providing method? Therefore, the study aims to investigate 5G service providing issues and elements to be considered and to provide most appropriate service providing method for the practical use of 5G. The results identify that 'Specialized Service' is most appropriate method at the aspects of benefit and opportunity as well as the aspect of risk. In addition, the outcomes imply that the experts replying to the survey not only expect the expansion of emerging market, but also concern the social risk and cost. Since the study dealt with economic, social and business issues in providing 5G service, it might contribute not only to practical research, but also to academic research regarding 5G service method.

This study focuses on examining the determinants of smartphone-based social network services(SNS) use. That is, the study explores the key factors affecting the use of smartphone-based SNS. People who have been using online-based SNS such as Cyworld and Facebook for years are now using mobile-based SNS such as KakaoStory. Under the situation. the study attempts to draw key determinants of smartphone-based SNS use from the studies of TAM, hedonic information systems, and social perspectives. To test the hypotheses, we conducted partial least squares (PLS) analysis using a total of 233 data collected on the users of smartphone-based SNS including KakaoTalk and KakaoStory. The key findings are as follows : first, it is verified that both ease of use and usefulness, two main factors in TAM, had positive effects on smartphone-based SNS use. Second, for enjoyment and escapism considered as the two main factors of hedonic IS characteristics, only the effect of enjoyment on SNS use was significant. Finally, social ties as a factor of social characteristics had the most significant effect on smartphone-based SNS use. The result implies that smartphone-based SNS can be one of the major means of maintaining existing social ties.

오늘날, 음악 서비스의 새로운 환경이 디지털 음악산업에 변화를 가져왔고. 다양한 형태의 음악 콘텐츠가 제공되고 있다. 따라서, 다양한 콘텐츠 확보가 독점적 경쟁 음악 시장에서 중요하다. 이러한 상황하에서, 웹 2.0은 다양한 소셜네트워크 환경을 제공하고, 소셜네트워크서비스는 기존의 정보중심 인터넷서비스와는 다른 인적관계를 중시한다. 모바일 소셜네트워크서비스는 모바일 기기사용이 증가함에 따라 사회적으로 이슈화 되고 있다. 네오위즈벅스는 음악 특성화된 소셜네트워크서비스인 세이클럽을 운영하는 네오위즈인터넷과 합병했다. 그리고 에스엠 엔터테인먼트와 콘텐츠관련 협약을 체결했다. 따라서, 통합법인은 확보된 디지털 콘텐츠와 소셜네트워크서비스를 연동시키는 비즈니스 모델을 확보, 운용하고 있다. 일반적으로 음악특화 소셜네트워크서비스는 광고기반 비즈니스 모델과 음악추천 시스템을 활용한다. 본 연구는 네오위즈벅스 사례를 소개함으로써, 웹 2.0, 모바일 소셜네트워크서비스, 스마트폰 등을 포함하는 유비쿼터스 환경에 알맞은 음악 유통사의 성공전략을 알아보고자 한다.

This study empirically investigates the factors influencing the intention to accept mobile technology in Saudi healthcare service delivery using the extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model (UTAUT) with perceived reliability and price value. Accordingly, a conceptual model combining behavioral constructs with those linked to the technology acceptance model is developed. This model aims to identify factors that predict patients' acceptance of mobile technology healthcare service delivery. The developed model is examined using responses obtained from a survey on 545 participants receiving healthcare services in Saudi Arabia. Thus, we have conceptualized the developed model and validated seven hypotheses involving key constructs. Results suggest that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, price value, and perceived reliability are direct predictors of user behavior to accept mobile technology in healthcare service delivery. The results provide empirical evidence to the literature on the effect of facilitating conditions and effort expectancy on mobile health (mHealth) adoption. The results show that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the adoption of mHealth services in Saudi Arabia.
