Impulse buying has been considered a pervasive and distinctive phenomenon in the modern lifestyle and has been receiving increasing attention from consumer researchers and theorists. In the modern marketplace, spontaneous urges to buy and consume often compete with the practical necessity to delay the immediate gratification that purchasing provides. The purpose of this study is to conceptualize and test the framework of impulse buying behavior for fashion products using structural equation model. Data were obtained from 413 students attending universities during schedules classes in Busan. Analysis of the data, utilizing AMOS 4.1, supported most of the predictions. The results showed that situational variable(time available) and individual variable(fashion involvement) have direct effects on consumers' shopping emotions, including positive and negative emotion. Positive emotions had effects on all types of impulse buying(planned impulse buying, reminded impulse buying, and fashion-oriented impulse buying), while negative emotion affected two types of impulse buying(reminded impulse buying and fashion-oriented impulse buying). These emotional experiences influence impulse buying behaviors for fashion products serving as critical mediators. The findings suggest that time available and fashion involvement are good predictors mediated by shopping emotion to impulse buying behavior for fashion products. The implications of this research for future work on the shopping emotion and impulse buying behavior are discussed.

The main purpose of this study was to gauge the patient satisfaction index and subsequently discuss the Importance-Performance (IP) matrix analysis of the inpatient services in the context of the private hospital setting. The Malaysian Customer Satisfaction Index Model was employed as the theoretical framework for the above purposes. This study involving 242 patients in Malaysian's private healthcare sector used a Web-based survey as the main method of data collection. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized for data analysis. Using Fornell et al. (1996)'s formula, the resulting patient satisfaction index was slightly lower than the "very satisfied" category, the target level required for positioning as one of the world's premier medical tourism players. The IP matrix showed that medical quality is the main competitive advantage of the private hospitals that can propel their growth in the global healthcare marketplace. The results also indicate that outcome quality, patient rights, and privacy, and service quality are the three quality domains that need to be prioritized for further improvement. On the other hand, the servicescape quality domain needs to be strategized as the unique selling proposition as the performance of the private hospitals in this regard is already extremely good.

Although the business model(BM) patents act as a creative bridge between technology and the marketplace, limited scholarly attention has been paid to the content analysis of BM patents. This study aims to contextualize converging BM patents by employing topic modeling technique and clustering highly marketable topics, which are expressed through a topic-market impact matrix. We relied on BM patent data filed between 2010 and 2022 to derive empirical insights into the commercial potential of emerging business models. Subsequently, nine topics were identified, including but not limited to "Data Analytics and Predictive Modeling" and "Mobile-Based Digital Services and Advertising." The 2x2 matrix allows to position topics based on the variables of topic growth rate and market impact, which is useful for prioritizing areas that require attention or are promising. This study differentiates itself by going beyond simple topic classification based on topic modeling, reorganizing the findings into a matrix format. T he results of this study are expected to serve as a valuable reference for companies seeking to innovate their business models and enhance their competitive positioning.

Purpose: This study explores the complex interplay between service quality, customer engagement, and loyalty in the e-commerce sector, examining the moderating effect of technological adoption on these crucial relationships. Research design, data and methodology: Employing a robust multi-method approach, the research analyzes data from 481 e-commerce users, leveraging the complementary strengths of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA). Acomprehensive multi-group analysisis conducted to uncover differences between experienced and non-experienced users. Results: PLS-SEM reveals that service quality significantly influences customer engagement, which in turn drives loyalty. Technological adoption positively moderates the service quality-engagement relationship. The multi-group analysis uncovers notable differences between user segments. fsQCA identifies two distinct configurational paths consistently leading to high customer loyalty: high customer engagement and high service quality. Conclusions: This study's innovative integration of PLS-SEM and fsQCA contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics driving e-commerce success. Findings provide actionable insights for e-commerce businesses to enhance service quality, foster engagement, and cultivate loyalty. This research lays the groundwork for further exploration of these critical relationships in different contexts, offering a nuanced perspective on the complex interplay of factors shaping customer behavior in the digital marketplace.

온라인 마켓에서 소비자는 다양한 상품을 접하고 이에 대한 의견을 자유롭게 기술한다. 소비자의 상품 리뷰가 다른 소비자와 온라인 마켓의 성공에 큰 영향을 주는 만큼 온라인 마켓은 판매 상품에 대한 소비자의 감성을 정확하게 분석할 필요가 있다. 데이터 분석 기법 중 하나인 텍스트 마이닝은 상품에 대한 소비자 리뷰를 분석하여 상품을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있게 해준다. 선행 연구들은 데이터 도메인과 사이즈에 따라 분석 결과의 정확도가 다르게 나타남에도 불구하고 특정 도메인과 2만개 미만의 데이터를 분석해왔다. 또한, 분석의 정확도를 향상 시킬 수 있는 추가 요인에 대한 연구는 거의 수행하지 않았다. 본 연구는 앙상블 기법을 활용하여 기존 연구에서 주로 다루지 않은 음식 상품 도메인의 72,530개 리뷰 데이터를 분석하였다. 또한, 분석 정확도 향상과 관련하여 요약 리뷰의 영향력을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 본 연구는 기존 연구와 다르게 부스팅 앙상블 기법이 가장 높은 분석 정확도를 보인다는 사실을 발견하였다. 또한, 요약 리뷰는 분석의 정확도 향상에 기여하는 것으로 나타났다.

B2B 전자상거래 보증 서비스는 신용보증기금과 은행, e마켓플레이스 간에 전산시스템을 연결하여 신용보증 신청에서부터 보증서 발급, 상거래 계약, 대금결제가 인터넷 상에서 이루어지는 보증 서비스를 말한다. B2B 전자상거래 보증 서비스는 대기업에 비해 상대적으로 규모가 작고, 신용도가 낮으며, 여러 면에 있어 불리한 상태에 있는 중소기업이 필요한 자금을 원활히 공급받을 수 있도록 매개역할을 하는 제도이다. B2B 전자상거래 보증 서비스의 다양한 장점에도 불구하고 인지도 부족과 전자보증에 대한 잘못된 이해, 온라인상에서 결제하는데 대한 막연한 심리적 불안감 등으로 인해서 빠른 확산이 이뤄지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 B2B 전자상거래 보증 서비스의 효과 및 가치를 데이터와 사례들을 통해 분석해보고자 한다. 이를 위해 B2B 전자상거래 보증 서비스 및 e-Marketplace에 대한 분석을 시작으로 서비스 이해관계자 별 성과항목 도출, 중소기업 지원 및 사회 경제적 성과 분석 등을 진행하였다.
