The purpose of this study is 1) to investigate the contents of fashion brand applications and what differences and 2) to scrutinize the reviews of the applications uploaded on the app store in order to suggest strategies on how to apply them to fashion. For the study, twenty-nine free applications from different categories of the fashion brands and three hundred sixty-two reviews of these applications were investigated. The analysis of the study was conducted from June 20th to November 10th of 2010. The results showed that there are four important components for fashion brand applications: conventional information (product information and store information), the purchasing function, the fun element (social networking, blogging, music etc), and the augmented reality technique. These components are formulated based on the brand's marketing strategies. In order to know whether or not these components were successfully composed, user reviews were studied, which revealed that many users were satisfied, but the applications were insufficient to meet all of their needs.

The proliferation of mobile applications and the unique characteristics of the mobile environment have attracted significant research interest in understanding customers' purchasing behaviors in mobile commerce. In this study, we extend customer value theory by combining the predictors of product performance with customer value framework to investigate how in-store information creates value for customers and influences mobile application downloads. Using a data set collected from the Google Application Store, we find that customers value both text and non-text information when they make downloading decisions. We apply latent semantic analysis techniques to analyze customer reviews and product descriptions in the mobile application store and determine the embedded valuable information. Results show that, for mobile applications, price, number of raters, and helpful information in customer reviews and product descriptions significantly affect the number of downloads. Conversely, average rating does not work in the mobile environment. This study contributes to the literature by revealing the role of in-store information in mobile application downloads and by providing application developers with useful guidance about increasing application downloads by improving in-store information management.

The proliferation of online customer reviews has completely changed how consumers purchase. Consumers now heavily depend on authentic experiences shared by previous customers. However, deceptive reviews that aim to manipulate customer decision-making to promote or defame a product or service pose a risk to businesses and buyers. The studies investigating consumer perception of deceptive reviews found that one of the important cues is based on review content. This study aims to investigate the impact of the information amount of review on the review truthfulness. This study adopted the Information Manipulation Theory (IMT) as an overarching theory, which asserts that the violations of one or more of the Gricean maxim are deceptive behaviors. It is regarded as a quantity violation if the required information amount is not delivered or more information is delivered; that is an attempt at deception. A topic modeling algorithm is implemented to reveal the distribution of each topic embedded in a text. This study measures information amount as topic diversity based on the results of topic modeling, and topic diversity shows how heterogeneous a text review is. Two datasets of restaurant reviews on Yelp.com, which have Filtered (deceptive) and Unfiltered (genuine) reviews, were used to test the hypotheses. Reviews that contain more diverse topics tend to be truthful. However, excessive topic diversity produces an inverted U-shaped relationship with truthfulness. Moreover, we find an interaction effect between topic diversity and reviews' ratings. This result suggests that the impact of topic diversity is strengthened when deceptive reviews have lower ratings. This study contributes to the existing literature on IMT by building the connection between topic diversity in a review and its truthfulness. In addition, the empirical results show that topic diversity is a reliable measure for gauging information amount of reviews.

Purpose - The purpose of this research is to find out the relationship between cue utilization and perceived website quality and purchase intention for an online store. To achieve this, we suggest a conceptual model that examines the relationship among product introductions, online communications, online reviews, perceived quality, and online purchase intention. Research design, data, and methodology - This research utilizes SPSS 19.0 and AMOS17.0 to analyze the data. We used factor analysis to shape the structure of the original data and saved the information with multiple dimensions. We then deployed the AMOS software to analyze the model. We performed both factor analysis and structural equation analysis. Results - The findings of this study show that graphic and word descriptions, online chatting, and online reviews have a positive influence on perceived quality. Furthermore, perceived quality has a positive influence on purchase intention. Conclusions - First, detailed product information should be added to influence quality perception. Second, consumers expect a certain level of service while shopping. Simultaneously, online products reviews from consumers deserve attention as they can impact consumer purchase intention.

Expanding product variety and high customer service provision place an enormous burden on demand forecasting and the matching of supply with demand in a supply chain. Postponement of product differentiation has been found to be powerful means to improve supply chain performance in the presence of increasing product variety. Delaying the point of product differentiation implies that the process would not commit the work-in-process into a particular finished product until a later point. This paper reviews the recent analytical models that quantify the value of delayed product differentiation. We conclude the literature review by summarizing and synthesizing the economic evaluation of the postponement and outline directions for future research.

Online consumer activities have increased considerably since the COVID-19 outbreak. For the products and services which have an impact on everyday life, online reviews and recommendations can play a significant role in consumer decision-making processes. Thus, to better serve their customers, online firms are required to build online-centric marketing strategies. Especially, it is essential to define core value of customers based on the online customer reviews and to propose these values to their customers. This study discovers specific perceived values of customers in regard to a certain product and service, using online customer reviews and proposes a customer value proposition methodology which enables online firms to develop more effective marketing strategies. In order to discover customers value, the methodology employs a text-mining technology, which combines a sentiment analysis and topic modeling. By the methodology, customer emotions and value factors can be more clearly defined. It is expected that online firms can better identify value elements of their respective customers, provide appropriate value propositions, and thus gain sustainable competitive advantage.

온라인 리뷰는 제품에 대한 이전 구매자들의 경험을 제공함으로써 다른 소비자들이 합리적인 구매 의사결정을 하는데 유용하게 활용되고 있다. 하지만 온라인 리뷰가 제품의 질과 특성을 정확히 반영하지 않고 편향되어 작성된다면 온라인 리뷰를 더이상 신뢰할 수 없는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 대표적인 온라인 리뷰의 편향 중 하나인 과소보고 편향의 특성을 실증 데이터를 통해 살펴보고자 한다. 구체적으로 온라인 게임 플랫폼인 스팀의 14,165개의 리뷰 데이터를 활용하여 과소보고하는 성향을 지니는 리뷰어의 특성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 분석결과, 과소보고하는 리뷰어는 주로 추천 의도를 담은 리뷰를 작성하고, 게임 출시일로부터 짧은 기간 안에 리뷰를 작성하나 다소 긴 시간동안 게임을 플레이한 후 리뷰를 작성하는 경향이 있으며, 높은 가격의 게임을 구매했을 때 리뷰를 작성하는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구는 과소보고하는 리뷰어의 특성을 탐색적으로 살펴보았기에 과소보고 편향에 대한 이해를 확장시키는 기초 연구로서 의미를 지닐 것이다.
