The purpose of this study is to segment the mobile phone users based on the flow types and to understand the differences in mobile phone usage behavior between the segmented groups. The 'flow' construct, which was introduced first in marketing by Hoffman and Novak[44], has been used as an important keyword for understanding consumer behavior on the World Wide Web. In this paper, we will try to use the flow aspect for the mobile market segmentation, which is one of the most fundamental tools for developing a successful marketing strategy on the mobile phone service market. We collected survey data from consumers and analyzed the data with the SPSS 12.0 package where we did ${\chi}^2$-test, factor analysis, one-way ANOVA and cluster analysis. Main results of this study are as follow. First, the flow types of the mobile phone users were classified into five types, which are named as the 'Flow' type, 'Apathy' type, 'Anxiety' type, 'Boredom' type, 'Control' type. Second, most of the results related to the usage of mobile phone service showed statistically significant differences between flow types. These findings suggest that the mobile phone service marketers should consider the various flow types of users and work out effective market segmentation strategies based on these consumer flow types.

During the last decade, social live streaming service like Periscope, Ustream, and YouNow has developed from a niche market into a mainstream activity. In this media environment, social live streaming service has a tremendous impact on the social behaviors of users. Despite the rapid development, there are a lack of studies to make better understand the media environment changes through social live streaming service. This study adopted an affordances approach that leads us to identify six distinctive social affordances (visibility, accessibility, information sharing, social interaction, role-taking, interactive revenue) for user engagement in social live streaming service. Specifically, this study explores the impact of social affordances on perceived flow, followed by user engagement including passive and active engagement. Empirical data analysis with 258 questionnaires suggests that social affordances affected users' flow perception, and flow has an effect on active as well as passive engagement. Contrary to the expectation in a hypothesized research model, only the impact of accessibility on flow was rejected.

Purpose: This study investigates the complex dynamics of consumer behavior in Vietnamese banking omnichannel environments, focusing on the roles of service consistency, service transparency, flow, perceived privacy risk, and loyalty intention. Research design, data and methodology: Using a sample of 422 Vietnamese bank customers, data analysis revealed significant relationships among the variables under investigation. Results: Firstly, service consistency was found to positively influence flow experiences and negatively impact perceived privacy risk, highlighting the importance of uniform service quality across channels in enhancing consumer engagement while mitigating privacy concerns. Similarly, service transparency was positively associated with flow experiences and negatively associated with perceived privacy risk, underscoring the importance of transparent information dissemination in fostering immersive consumer experiences while alleviating privacy apprehensions. Furthermore, both flow experiences and perceived privacy risk significantly influenced loyalty intentions, indicating the pivotal roles of engaging experiences and data security in driving consumer loyalty. Additionally, mediated relationships were observed, demonstrating the interplay between service consistency, service transparency, flow, perceived privacy risk, and loyalty intention in shaping consumer behavior in omnichannel contexts. Conclusions: These findings provide valuable insights for retailers and marketers seeking to optimize consumer experiences and cultivate loyalty in omnichannel environments by prioritizing consistency, transparency, and data privacy protection.

최근 COVID-19로 인한 언택트 시대로의 전환이 가속화되고 사람들이 실내에 머무는 시간이 증가함에 따라 개방된 인터넷을 통해서 영화, 방송 프로그램 등 미디어콘텐츠를 제공하는 OTT(Over-The-Top) 서비스 시장이 크게 확대되었으며 이는 디지털 환경과 기기에 익숙한 MZ세대에게 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 OTT 서비스의 특성이 국내 MZ세대 이용자의 몰입 및 만족도와 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향에 대해 대표적인 OTT 서비스 브랜드 중 하나인 넷플릭스 국내 이용자를 중심으로 살펴보았다. 본 연구를 수행하기 위해 총 216명의 넷플릭스 OTT 서비스를 이용해본 경험이 있는 사람들의 설문 조사 자료를 분석에 활용하여 수립한 가설을 실증적으로 검증하였다. 분석결과, OTT 서비스의 특성 중 콘텐츠 다양성, 편의성, 신뢰성은 몰입에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 몰입은 만족도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치고, 만족도는 브랜드 충성도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 OTT 서비스의 특성 중 추천 서비스는 몰입에 정(+)의 영향을 미치지 않았으며 몰입은 브랜드 충성도에 직접적으로 정(+)의 영향을 미치지 못하고 만족도를 통해서 브랜드 충성도에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 OTT 서비스 관련 산업의 시장 활성화 및 점점 증가하고 있는 OTT 서비스 브랜드들의 MZ세대 소비자들을 위한 마케팅 전략 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것을 기대하며 포스트 코로나 시대에 대비한 실무적인 시사점을 제공하고자 한다.

With the rapid advancement of Internet services, there has been a dramatic increase in services that dynamically provide Internet resources on demand, such as cloud computing. In a cloud computing service, because the number of users in the cloud is changing dynamically, it is more efficient to utilize a flexible network technology such as software-defined networking (SDN). However, to efficiently support the SDN-based cloud computing service with limited resources, it is important to effectively manage the flow table at the SDN switch. Therefore, in this paper, a new flow management scheme is proposed that is able to, through efficient management, speed up the flow-entry search speed and simultaneously maximize the number of flow entries. The proposed scheme maximizes the capacity of the flow table by efficiently storing flow entry information while quickly executing the operation of flow-entry search by employing a hash index. In this paper, the proposed scheme is implemented by modifying the actual software SDN switch and then, its performance is analyzed. The results of the analysis show that the proposed scheme, by managing the flow tables efficiently, can support more flow entries.
