Recently Internet keyword search service providers tends to use CPC advertizement method rather than CPM method. However researches how much the CPC method is beneficial to advertisers than CPM method in certain perspectives are insufficient and not performed systematically. So this paper tries to do comparative analysis about the two methods by analyzing the real transactional DB data from an advertizement agency. Due to the difficulties of direct comparison between the two methods because of their different expose positions on the Web and different types of attributes in DB, we did some preprocessing step for the transactional data. From the result of analysis, the click rate of CPC is higher than CPM by 1.3% and the unit cost for the CPC per one click is lower than CPM method by 51 Won. It shows the CPC method is more effective than CPM method for advertizement from the point of advertizement effectiveness (CTR) and advertizement cost (CPC). We hope this research would give useful information to advertisers and marketing managers in making advertizement strategy, marketing decision and budgeting.

Recently there are many development and support policies for start-up companies because of successful venture companies related to ICT services. However, as these policies have focused on the support for the initial stage of start-up, many start-up companies have difficulties to continuously grow up. The main reason for these difficulties is that they recognize start-up tasks as independent activities. However, many experts or related articles say that start-up tasks are composed of related processes from the initial stage to the stable stage of start-up firms. In this study, we models the start-up processes based on the survey collected by the start-up companies, and analyze the start-up process of ICT service companies with process mining techniques. Through process mining analysis, we can draw a sequential flow of tasks for start-ups and the characteristics of them. The analysis of start-up businessman, idea derivation, creating business model, business diversification processes are resulted as important processes, but marketing activity and managing investment funds are not. This result means that marketing activity and managing investment funds are activities that need ongoing attention. Moreover, we can find temporal and complementary tasks which could not be captured by independent individual-level activity analysis. Our process analysis results are expected to be used in simulation-based web-intelligent system to support start-up business, and more cumulated start-up business cases will be helpful to give more detailed individual-level personalization service. And our proposed process model and analyzing results can be used to solve many difficulties for start-up companies.

The computer-mediated marketing and commerce have grown rapidly and thereby automatic recommendation methodologies have got great attentions.
