The online social networking services (SNS) have been growing as the means of communication. In this study, we investigated word-of-mouth (WOM) effect under the SNS environment and evaluated the impact of message sender's influence on the WOM effect. Especially, this study focused on the betweenness centrality calculated through the social network analysis (SNA) of SNS network information, and proposed it as the measure of WOM message sender's influence, SNA may provide more accurate and objective measures than subjective self-reporting survey method. Fifty-one Facebook users responded to each of their four Facebook friends, who had been selected based on their betweenness centrality, Statistical analyses were performed using the responses and the betweenness centralities of the Facebook friends. The results showed that the direction (positive vs, negative) of a WOM message in SNS had an impact on the attitude of the message receiver toward the product. Moreover, the betweenness centrality of the message sender as well as his/her opinion leadership had a moderating effect on the WOM effect. Opinion leadership is a measure that has been frequently used for indicating the influence of WOM message sender in the previous studies. Considering the result that the betweenness centrality of the message sender was Significantly correlated to his/her opinion leadership, the betweenness centrality can be used for indicating the influence of WOM message sender.

In the era of tough competition, the customer's emotional attachment to brand plays a vital role to the successes and failures of enterprises. Specifically in the case of doing business online, brands have to cope with the troubles of rising from brand hate as brand avoidance, negative word of mouth and brand retaliation. Traditionally, the brand communication is very hard to control and with online communities, the problems tend to be even more severe. This paper aims to explore and discuss the core concept, the driven factors and the actionable consequences of brand hate among netizens. A total of 358 valid responses were obtained from surveys taken from the internet users across the nation. Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was conducted using Smart PLS to assess the hypotheses. The result shows that the expression of brand hate among netizen consists of active hate and passive hate. Deficit value, deceptive advertising, negative past experience and ideology incompatibility have been confirmed as influencing factors on customers' brand hate emotion. Then brand hate itself causes the customer's actionable outcomes such as brand avoidance, brand negative word of mouth and brand retaliation. Along with the theoretical contributions and managerial implications have been recommended for enterprises to avoid netizens' brand hate.

Natural language processing, a machine learning algorithm, and a lexicon-based sentiment classification method are employed. To create a movie domain sentiment lexicon, 233,631 reviews of 147 movies with popularity ratings is collected by a XML crawling package in R program. We accomplished 81.69% accuracy in sentiment classification by the Korean sentiment dictionary including 706 negative words and 617 positive words. The result showed a stronger positive relationship with box office success and consumers' sentiment as well as a significant positive effect in the linear regression for the predicting model.

본 연구는 상표사용후기의 방향성이 구매의도에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 이러한 과정에서 제품관여도, 조절초점 및 자기효능감의 조절효과를 실험설계를 통해 검증하는데 그 목적이 있다. 실증분석결과 상품사용후기의 방향성이 상표에 대한 구매의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었는데, 긍정적인 상품사용후기에 노출된 집단의 구매의도가 부정적인 상품사용후기에 노출된 집단의 구매의도보다 높게 나타났다. 긍정적 상품사용후기가 구매의도에 미치는 효과는 소비자의 제품에 대한 관여도가 낮은 경우보다 높은 경우 더 크게 나타나 제품관여도의 조절효과에 관한 선행연구결과를 다시 확인해 주고 있다. 그리고 상표사용후기가 구매의사에 미치는 영향은 소비자의 조절초점에 따라 다르게 나타나 소비자의 조절초점성향이 갖는 조절효과가 확인되었다. 즉, 향상초점의 소비자는 긍정적인 상표사용후기에 더 큰 영향을 받았고, 예방초첨의 소비자는 부정적인 상표사용후기에 더 큰 영향을 받았다. 마지막으로 상품사용후기가 구매의도에 미치는 효과는 소비자의 자기효능감 수준에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 즉, 자기효능감이 높은 소비자보다 자기효능감이 낮은 소비자가 상표사용후기에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 소비자의 제품관여도, 조절초점 및 자기효능감의 수준에 따라 온라인상에서 제시되는 상표사용후기를 처리하는 방식이 다름을 확인해 주고 있는데, 이러한 연구결과는 마케터들에게 유용한 관리적 시사점을 제공한다.

This study examines how an initially perceived product value affects consumer's purchase intention after reading online reviews with various tones. The study proposes that associations among initially perceived overall product value, degree of confirmation resulting from reading the reviews, and final purchase intention differ across review tones such that 1) when the tone is favorable, the effect of an initially perceived product value is stronger than when the tone is critical, and 2) when the tone is extreme, the effect of confirmation is stronger than when the tone is moderate. The survey was conducted with 276 online shopping mall users in Korea, and most of the hypotheses were supported. This study asserts that the effects of online reviews should be considered together with customer's level of expectation formed prior to reading online reviews, which resulted from extensive search and screening processes that the customer went through before reading online reviews.
