This study attempts to extend the customer value - customer satisfaction - customer loyalty framework by introducing key constructs of scarcity messages as a major environmental stimulus and the urge to buy impulsively as its response in the context of group-buying social commerce, across countries including Korea and China. More specifically, this study proposes that scarcity messages influence customers' value perception (i.e., utilitarian value and hedonic value) and thereby influencing customer satisfaction and further customer loyalty. Moreover, the study suggests that scarcity messages and utilitarian and hedonic values arouse the urge to buy impulsively. In the Korean sample, the results show that scarcity messages increase both utilitarian and hedonic values as well as the urge to buy impulsively, which in turn leads to customers' satisfaction and further loyalty. Besides, customer satisfaction is determined by utilitarian value, not hedonic value. In the Chinese sample, utilitarian value-related relationships are insignificant. More specifically, scarcity messages only influence hedonic value which increases the urge to buy impulsively. Besides, customer satisfaction is determined by both utilitarian and hedonic values, but not by the urge to buy impulsively.

China has recently (28 August 2004) adopted a new act legalizing the electronic signature. This new act provides electronic signatures with the same legal status as handwritten signatures, and states that on-line certification providers will have to be created in order to ensure the security of on-line operations made using said signatures. This new act is intended to increase Chinese electronic business, and thus to raise the revenue China can expect from said business. And the law grants electronic signatures the same legal effect as handwritten signatures and seals in business transactions, and sets up the market access system for online certification providers to ensure the security of e-commerce. As Internet trade requires a reliable third party to identify the signers, the credibility of online certifying organizations is significant for the transaction security. So, considering the weakness of China's social credibility system, the law regulates that the online signatures certification providers should be approved and administered by governments.

싱글 윈도우는 무역 촉진의 중요한 부분으로 세계 각국 특히 무역 의존도가 높은 아시아 국가들이 적극적으로 참여하고 있다. 한국은 지난 1990년대 무역자동화를 시작으로 2007년 한국형 싱글윈도우인 uTradeHub를 오픈했고 2010년에는 uTradeHub상의 전자네고시스템을 개발, 인터넷에서도 신용장 네고가 실현되었다. 특히 통관 부분에 국한된 많은 나라들의 싱글윈도우와 달리 한국의 uTraHub는 세계 최초의 웹 기반 싱글 윈도우로 바이어나 셀러를 찾는 단계에서부터 최종 결제까지 인터넷에서 이루어지는 것이 특징이다. 현재까지는 국내에서만 한해 이와 같은 싱글 윈도우서비스가 가능하지만 외국 싱글윈도우와의 연계를 통해 단절없는 싱글 윈도우 서비스를 제공한다는 목표이다. 중국은 싱글윈도우 구축에 있어서 여타 아시아 국가에 비해서 다소 늦게 출발했다. 골든게이트 프로젝트로 시작된 무역 자동화가 E-port 프로젝트를 통해서 전자 통판서비스로 이어졌다. 현재중국에서 싱글윈도우의 주체로 고려되는 대상은 전자통관시스템주체인 '차이나 E포트'와 한국의 KTNET과 유사한 CIECC, 싱글 윈도우를 운영하는 각 지방 정부 등이다. 싱글윈도우의 성공 조건인 적극적인 정부 지원, 법적 기반의 마련, 관련 기관간의 협조, 적절한 기술 조화 등을 고려했을 때 법적 기반이 다소 미흡하긴 하지만 중국은 이미 성공을 위한 요건은 대부분 갖추었다고 볼 수 있다. 중국의 싱글 윈도우를 이끄는 주체로는 경쟁 체제인 지방 정부보다는 중앙 정부의 적극적인 지원을 전제로 해서 기업인 CIECC가 진행하는 형태가 바람직할 것으로 생각한다, 특히 향후 외국 싱글윈도우와의 원활한 연계를 위해서도 기업이 비즈니스 파트너로서 나서는 것이 바람직하다고 분석되어진다.

For venturing into international markets, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have not only emphasized internal resources but entrepreneurial orientation has also become the need of the day due to its significant role in increasing firm's competitive capabilities. Although research indicates that the competitive strategies can significantly impact export performance, minor attention is given to the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, business competitive strategy and export performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study scrutinizes the effect of each dimension of entrepreneurial orientation (i.e., innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness) and each of generic competitive strategies (i.e., cost leadership and differentiation) on the export performance of Chinese SMEs. And we investigated the moderating effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between the competitive strategies and export performance. We surveyed 217 Chinese SMEs through a structured questionnaire. For the data analysis and hypotheses testing, we used AMOS. 27. The findings display that differentiation and cost leadership strategies significantly improve export performance. The innovativeness, risk-taking and proactiveness also spur Chinese SME's export performance. Further we find that adding entrepreneurial orientation significantly improves our model of the relationship between the competitive strategies and export performance. Thus, our study extends the entrepreneurial orientation literature and provides interesting new insights into how entrepreneurial orientation helps firms create more successful export operations.

This empirical study explored characteristics that affect the usefulness of online reviews, in the China e-commerce platform, and implemented multiple regressions to find factors that significantly influence on product sales, ultimately. Till now, prior studies have continuously revealed what factor affects usefulness of online review or product sales, only in respective terms. The point of our study is that we built two-level regression models, thereby being able to comprehensively analyze these two different targets. Before plunging into running regressions, we carefully collected 192,764 online review data for 200 products extracted from the Jingdong, the second biggest e-commerce platform in China. Also, we gathered "review sentimental scores" variable from each review and used that one as a core variable in our regression model, thus we were able to implement both quantitative and qualitative research. The evidences from the two-level regression models showed that the extent to which a product is experience good positively affects both usefulness of a review and product sales, again the usefulness of a review contributes to product sales in sequence. Also, the property of experience good has interaction effect on both for two-level regression models. Our main findings highlight the importance of role of online review to business performance of e-commerce firms.

Purpose - In this paper, the degree of similarity and dissimilarity between pairs of 50 major cities in China can be shown on the basis of three evaluation variables(internet businessman index, internet shopping index and e-commerce development index). Dissimilarity distance matrix is used to analyze both similarity and dissimilarity between each fifty city in China by calculating dissimilarity as distance. Higher value signifies higher degree of dissimilarity between two cities. Cluster analysis is exploited to classify 50 cities into a number of different groups such that similar cities are placed in the same group. In addition, multidimensional scaling(MDS) technique can obtain visual representation for exploring the pattern of proximities among 50 major cities in China based on three development performance attributes. Research design, data, and methodology - This research is performed by the 2013 report provided with AliResearch in China(1/1/2013~11/30/2013) and utilized multivariate methods such as dissimilarity distance matrix, cluster analysis and MDS by using CLUSTER, KMEANS, PROXIMITIES and ALSCAL procedures in SPSS 21.0. Results - This research applies two types of cluster analysis and MDS on three development performances based on the 2013 report of Aliresearch. As a result, it is confirmed that grouping is possible by categorizing the types into four clusters which share similar characteristics. MDS is exploited to carry out positioning of both grouped locations of cluster and 50 major cities belonging to each cluster. Since all the values corresponding to Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Hangzhou(which belong to cluster 1 among 50 major cities) are very large, these cities are superior to other cities in all three evaluation attributes. Twelve cities(Beijing, ShangHai, Jinghua, ZhuHai, XiaMen, SuZhou, NanJing, DongWan, ZhangShan, JiaXing, NingBo and FoShan), which belong to cluster 3, are inferior to those of cluster 1 in terms of all three attributes, but they can be expected to be the next e-commerce revolution. The rest of major cities, in particular, which belong to cluster 4 are relatively inferior in all three attributes, so that this automatically evokes creative innovation, which leads to e-commerce development as a whole in China. In terms of internet businessman index, on the other hand, Tainan, Taizhong, and Gaoxiong(which belong to cluster 2) are situated superior to others. However, these three cities are inferior to others in an internet shopping index sense. The rest of major cities, in particular, which belong to cluster 4 are relatively inferior in all three evaluation attributes, so that this automatically evokes innovation and entrepreneurship, which leads to e-commerce development as a whole in China. Conclusions - This study suggests the implications to help e-governmental officers and companies make strategies in both Korea and China. This is expected to give some useful information in understanding the recent situation of e-commerce in China, by looking over development performances of 50 major cities. Therefore, we should develop marketing, branding and communication relevant to online Chinese consumers. One of these efforts will be incentives like loyalty points and coupons that can encourage consumers and building in-house logistics networks.

Based on the existing OFDI (outward foreign direct investment) literature, this study endeavored to verify how the corruption of host countries affects the partner strategy of EMNEs (emerging multinational enterprises) when EMNEs enter global markets through joint ventures. Following the existing literature, this study classified corruption and partner strategies into two categories, respectively. First, the corruption of host country was divided into grand corruption and petty corruption. Second, EMNEs' joint venture partner strategy was divided into home country partner joint venture and host country (i.e., local) partner joint venture. Our hypothesis suggested that the greater the host country's grand corruption, the more EMNEs would choose the host country partner, while the strong petty corruption leads to the preference of home country partner in host country. The hypotheses were verified with a sample of 890 foreign direct investment cases of Chinese multinational companies from 2005 to 2015. As a result of the study, regardless of the degree of corruption, it was found that they prefer joint ventures with home country partners when EMNEs enter the global market through joint ventures.

마윈은 1997년 알리바바그룹을 창업하여 모든 역경을 극복하고 2016년 세계전자상거래산업에서 세계1위로 올라섰다. 물류시스템 및 지불시스템이 알리바바의 성공에 크게 기여하였다. 본 연구는 마윈의 기업가정신을 분석하여 한국청년들에게 기업가정신을 고취할뿐만아니라, 알리바바의 아직 미흡한 물류시스템의 문제점을 진단하여 우리나라 전자상거래기업의 물류정책 수립에 도움을 주는데 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 경영사적(經營史的) 연구방법을 채택하여 문헌조사를 통하여 주로 수행되었다. 연구결과로는 대학 강사로서의 근무하던 중 중국의 개혁개방의 시작과 동시에 '하이보퉁번역회사'를 설립하여 투잡으로 창업을 시작하여, 1995년 미국의 인터넷원년에 감히 '차이나옐로우페이지'를, 1999년에는 알리바바 전자상거래기업을 창업하여 글로벌 마인드로 무한도전하여 무에서 유를 창조한 마윈의 불굴의 기업가정신을 밝혀냈다. 여기에는 그의 뛰어난 천재적인 마케팅/홍보능력, 모국의 중소기업의 수출을 도와 경제발전을 일으키고 일자리를 창출하고자 하는 그의 애국심도 그의 독특한 기업가정신으로 제시될 수 있다. 아울러 알리바바의 물류시스템은 아직까지 엄청난 전자상거래 물동량을 저가격으로 처리하는데 비교적 성공하였다. 그러나 중국의 낙후된 물류관리수준, 알리바바의 지나치게 우월한 가격협상력에 따른 원가이하의 물류계약단가, 경쟁사에 비대 창고부문의 경쟁 열위, 안정적인 라스트마일 배송 등은 해결되어야 할 현안문제이다.
