Recently, IPTV attracts great attention along with the digital convergence of communication and media technologies. This study examined critical factors on the consumer's continued use of the IPTV service. Based on the expectation-confirmation theory and the innovation diffusion theory, we derived nine key factors in the research model-relative advantage, compatibility, ease of use, image, diversity of contents, interactivity, monetary value, social influence, and user satisfaction. Using the partial least square method, we found that content diversity and compatibility have a significant indirect effect on the continued use of the IPTV service via user satisfaction, and user satisfaction and social influence also have a significant direct impact on the IPTV use. These findings not only provide practical insights on the consumer acceptance of new technology-converging services, but also help managers to plan their marketing strategies better.

5G 서비스 등장한 후 우리의 생활 방식을 크게 변화시켰다. 특히 스마트폰과 Long Term Evolution을 통한 네트워크 서비스의 확산은 사람과 사람 사이에 음성, 문자통신에 한정되었던 기존 이동통신 방식을 완전히 바꾸었으며, 사용자와 기업 활동의 모든 측면에서 혁신적 서비스들이 등장하게 되었다. 본 연구는 5G 서비스의 사용자 사회적 특성과 사용자가 5G 서비스의 사용의도의 관계를 검증하였다. 독립변수(사회적 실재감, 주관적 규범)들과 매개변수(지각된 유용성) 및 종속변수(사용의도) 간의 관계를 규명하고, 측정변수 간의 영향관계에서 지각된 유용성의 매개효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구에서는 5G 서비스의 사용자를 대상으로 설문조사를 진행하여 실증분석을 위한 데이터를 수집하였다. 연구결과, 5G 서비스의 사용자 사회적인 요인에서 사회적 실재감, 주관적 규범이 사용자들의 사용의도를 높일 수 있는 적합한 변수임을 확인하였으며, 지각된 유용성의 매개효과도 있는 것으로 검증되었다. 본 연구는 실증분석을 통해 5G 서비스의 지속 가능하고 안전한 발전을 위한 시사점을 제시하였고, 향후 관련 연구의 방향에 대해서도 제시하였다.

개인의 소셜네트워크 서비스 활용의 증가는 기업의 비즈니스 활동에 새로운 기회로 주목 받고 있으며 소셜네트워크 서비스 관련연구 또한 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 사회네트워크분석을 통하여 소셜네트워크 서비스 사용자패턴을 발견하고자 한다. 그리고 사용자의 사용목적에 따른 네트워크의 패턴을 구분하고자 한다. 이를 위해 네트워크분석 도구인 NodeXL을 이용하여 소셜 네트워크 서비스 중 페이스북(Facebook.com)의 사용자를 분석하였다. 그 결과 단일 네트워크로 인식되었던 사용자의 네트워크를 여러 개의 하위그룹으로 구분할 수 있었다. 그리고 개인사용자의 페이스북 친구와 국내 K대학의 페이스북 친구를 비교하여 소셜네트워크 서비스의 사용목적에 따른 네트워크 구조의 차이를 발견하고 노력 하였다.

The rapid change of consumer expectations in shopping environments has required retailers to actively adopt omni-channel services, however, limited research exists on the topic. We identify the effect of consumer's utilitarian shopping value on expectations for omni-channel services. An online survey was conducted on 176 subjects who had experience using omni-channel services. We employed Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as our theoretical model to explore the mechanisms of consumers' acceptance of omni-channel services in fashion. We used SPSS ver. 22.0 and AMOS ver. 22.0 programs to analyze data. The results indicate that utilitarian shopping value has a positive effect on performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence for omni-channel services. Performance expectancy for omni-channel services also has a positive effect on the purchase intentions of fashion products. Effort expectancy for omni-channel services also positively increases the purchase intentions of fashion products. Last, the social effect of omni-channel services has a significant positive effect on purchase intention. All the hypotheses were supported. The research findings can provide the fashion distribution industry with useful basic data to understand the needs of consumers who use multi-channels when establishing a new channel or marketing strategy.

Cloud computing allows users to access software or specific programs that support the cloud platform through an information communicating device that can connect to the internet anywhere or anytime. Also, the cloud architecture not only reduces the expenses of IT infrastructure construction and maintenance, but also speeds up processing and mobility, which leads to a significant ease of use. In spite of the advantages of cloud computing, previous studies have been centered on case studies of the execution, advantages, and problems of cloud computing. In contrast, empirical research on individual cloud computing up till now is very insufficient. Thus, the research aims to create a model of an individual user's perspective and verify validation. This study reveals types of influence that characteristics can have on an individual user's intention to use, by searching the characteristics that the individual user recognizes on cloud computing services. The results are as follows:first, the characteristics of cloud computing indicates a significant influence on usage intention. Second, all characteristics in cloud computing, accessibility, reliability, perceived ease of use, and fusibility, are confirmed in providing significant influences in shaping social influence forms. Third, social influence has a significant influence on usage intention.

The primary purpose of this study is to examine the buffering effect of social welfare services on the relationship between the level of older persons' impairment and burden experienced by the family caregivers. It also assessed the level of caregiving burden as well as the effect of both older person's impairment and the characteristics of the caregivers on burden. The survey data collected from 150 community residing family caregivers was used for analyses. Findings are as follows. First, the caregivers are more burdened in the deterioration of mental health, scarce time for oneself, and the suffering of social life than in other areas of burden. Second, the more severe the physical and the mental impairment of the elder, the more burden the caregivers experience. The caregivers' characteristics such as the worse mental health, the lower level of attachment to the elder, the longer caregiving hours are also related to the higher level of caregiving burden. Third, the caregivers' use of adult day care and respite care services buffer the relationship between the level of impairment of older persons and the caregiving burden. However, social work counselling, visiting nurse, homemaker services do not have such buffering effects. Among informal support, instrumental support buffers the relationship between the elder's physical impairment and burden, while emotional support buffers the relationship between the elder's mental impairment and burden. According to the results, implication for social welfare services and practice methods for the family caregivers was discussed.
