The mobile market has introduced unprecedented shopping opportunities to customers and is expected to grow rapidly over time. However, little is known about how customers make purchase decisions in the mobile market. The purpose of this study is to investigate the drivers of mobile VOD purchases and to deliver valuable insights to mobile business operators. We focus on the purchase of VOD contents that have to be purchased and consumed using mobile devices and examine how individual-level purchase decisions are determined by three factors: perceived usefulness, usage behavior, and privacy concern. We obtained the panel data from a leading market research company that contains the mobile logs and survey results. Our main results suggest the followings. First, the perceived usefulness affects customers' mobile VOD contents purchases positively whereas the usage behavior exerts no influence on mobile contents purchases. Moreover, the privacy concern lowers the positive effect of perceived usefulness on mobile content purchases; however, it enhances the effect of the usage behavior on mobile contents purchases. These empirical findings indicate that mobile business operators should pay more attention to potential differences in perception and behavior using mobile devices and keep in mind that the privacy concern plays an additional key role in driving mobile contents purchases.

The growth of mobile commerce (m-commerce) has been accelerated around the world. Why do e-retailers have to put a great deal of effort for the distribution of their mobile apps? The literature has paid little attention to the influence of the introduction of an e-commerce app on shopping behaviors of consumers. By analyzing the dataset of 2,342 users in Korea, this study aims to broaden our understanding of mobile shopping app usage across competing e-retailers and different channels. We found that a user's prior usage of a specific e-commerce mobile app increases her subsequent usage of its website through a mobile web browser. Thus, mobile apps do not cannibalize the mobile web channel, and there could be a complementary relationship. We also found that a user's usage of competitors' apps is positively associated with her subsequent usage of a specific e-commerce app. Because many consumers search products and compare prices across multiple e-retailers, having a mobile app helps an e-retailer be exposed to more potential consumers. This study is among the first to study the role of mobile apps in e-commerce by showing the dynamics of cross-channel and cross-vendor usage by a user.

정보 기술의 급격한 발달로 인해 다양한 상품과 서비스가 출시되고 있다. 하지만 지속적으로 사용을 계속하는 상품이나 서비스는 많지 않은 것이 현실이다. 새로운 사용자를 유치하는 것보다 기존 사용자를 지속시키는 것은 기업의 효율적인 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 하지만, 기존의 정보 기술과 관련한 연구들은 새로운 사용자를 유치하는데 초점이 맞추어져 왔다. 따라서 기존 사용자를 지속적으로 유지하기 위한 연구는 매우 미미한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 모바일 웹 사용자를 대상으로 모바일 웹의 지속적 사용을 위한 지속 사용 모델을 개발하였고, 이러한 지속 사용 행동이 실제 사용량에 어떠한 영향을 끼쳤는지 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 모바일 웹의 지속적 사용에 중요한 영향을 끼치는 요인을 발굴하였고, 이를 실증적으로 검증하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 사후 기대인 사후 유용성, 사후 사용 편의성, 사후 즐거움, 사후 지각된 가치가 사용자의 만족, 사용 지속의도에 유의하게 영향을 끼쳤으며, 사용자의 사용지속의도 역시 모바일 웹의 실 사용량에 유의하게 영향을 끼쳤다. 본 연구 결과와 더불어, 만족과 사용 지속의도에 중요하게 끼치는 영향은 서로 다르게 나타나 만족과 사용 지속의도를 높이는 전략이 서로 다르게 해야 함을 시사하고 있다. 마지막으로 본 연구는 연구의 한계점과 실증적 시사점에 대하여 제시하고 있다.

The spread of mobile commerce due to popularization of smartphones not only broke down the boundary between online and offline, but also changed the consumer life, and hence brought change of commerce paradigm that creates new demand. The success of innovative information technology such as mobile shopping can be defined as an individual accepting the technology and continuously using it, but the studies on the usage behavior after the acceptance have been done in very restrictively, despite its importance. In this study, in order to empirically investigate the factors that influence the continuance in mobile shopping usage experience and its causal relationship, Social Cognitive Theory and Habit Theory were applied to IS Continuance Model, and the extended IS Continuance Model was suggested and proved. As a result, the usefulness, enjoyment, and self-efficacy perceived in usage experience significantly influence satisfaction, and usefulness, self-efficacy, and satisfaction influence habit. Also, usefulness, self-efficacy, satisfaction, and habit significantly influence continuance intention. This study provides a valuable asset in providing an opportunity to understand the usage behavior of mobile shopping service users after the acceptance, and furthermore proving directionality in improving customer loyalty.

Purpose Recently the usage of Mobile Instant Messenger(MIM) has been increased all over the world. With the development of Mobile Internet, a large amount of mobile application came into being, such as WeChat, the most popular MIM now in China. It has a huge number of registered users, but just only half of them are the "active users". This study intends to examine what factors affect MIM user's continuance intention and actual usage behavior. Design/Methodology/Approach Based on the framework of Perception/Emotion-Behavior and the extended ECM-ISC (Expectation Confirmation Model of IS Continuance), this research introduced some unique variables to a user satisfaction model focusing on perceived/emotional factors in WeChat. In this model, perceived/emotional factors have been divided into enabler factors and inhibitor factors to analyze the effect on continuance intention and actual usage behavior. Also, the moderate effect of the habits was discussed. An online questionnaire survey of 203 WeChat users was conducted and the empirical validation was employed to test the research model. Findings From the empirical results, perceived usefulness, expectation confirmation, and needs for affiliation significantly affected satisfaction. Also, satisfaction influenced continuance intention which led to actual usage behavior. We found that the habit moderates the relationship between satisfaction and continuance intention. The result of this study provides guidance to the developers and operators of WeChat on how to improve enhance users' satisfaction and loyalty.

Despite their potential value, the mobile Internet services in the domestic market have not been widely accepted as industry experts have expected. To understand why, this study uses the TAM, Technology Acceptance Model, and explores the factors affecting the usage behavior of the end-users. Based on statistical analysis of survey data, we show that social influence and perceived ease of use affect perceived usefulness, and that self-efficacy and focus significantly influence perceived ease of use. Furthermore, perceived usefulness is shown to play a significant role in explaining actual usage of the mobile Internet services. However, contrary to the hypothesized relationships, service quality, focus, and innovativeness of users turn out to have little impact on the traditional endogenous TAM variables such as perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and actual usage behavior. Based on these results, we attempt to provide managerial implications for the domestic mobile Internet service providers and to suggest future research directions in this domain of research.

In the domain of IS, game was used as a tool to enhance the results of decision making, education and more. In another stream of research, researchers focused on revealing the motive of people playing games. This study focuses on the effect of the tool; increased accessibility via mobile, to online game using patterns and behaviors. Due human reaction towards competition, technology acceptance and the online game's gambling traits, it is expected that the increased mobile accessibility (tool) will increase and intensify the game playing behavior. Also, it is expected that the in-game purchase will increase as well. In depth interview with both game service providers and players is planned to confirm that the mobile version acted as a tool to increase accessibility, rather than a additional game. Survey along with an interview is to be conducted to find relevant play and spending patterns if they are to exist.
