The challenge of integrating situational theory and anger activism model was empirically explored utilizing an online survey with the members of the virtual community, which was designed to raise issues and to protest against the product defects of a product. Our findings indicated that along with the cognitive perception in the situational theory, anger as a negative emotion was the most significant predictor strongly associated with communication behaviors and activism on the organization.

Additionally, it demonstrates if the confirmed relationships are different in similar SVSA between social enterprise and cause-related marketing (CRM). An online experiment using a 2 (the implementation organization of social values: social enterprise vs CRM) ${\times}2$ (SVSA: support of vulnerable group vs environmental protection) factorial design was conducted to test the established hypotheses. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions, and the collected data were analyzed using a partial least squares structure equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and partial least squares multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA). The results revealed that positive emotion toward SVSA directly influenced EI and purchase intention. EI and EPQ were identified as sequential mediators linking positive emotion toward SVSA and purchase intention. A finding for similarity in consumer response paths between social enterprises and CRM highlights that social enterprises need to develop a marketing strategy distinguished from CRM.

The objective of this paper is to understand the history, current status, and future of Korea meat processing industry. The numbers of businesses, employees and distribution in the domestic meat processing industry have steadily increased year by year. The trends of the Korea meat processing market are being launched with customized products due to rapid changes in consumer's lifestyle. Futhermore, the misconceptions against meat products have been still going on these days. Thus, meat products are perceived as a representative food for fast food and junk food to consumers, and growth of meat processing industry was slow-down due to concerns that some additives contained in meat products, such as phosphate and nitrite may not be good for human health, as World Health Organization (WHO) reported a couple of years ago. Therefore, future meat processing industries should be developed safe, and high quality consumer-oriented products. Finally, it will be able to achieve the unlimited development of the Korea meat processing industry by monitoring rapidly changing consumer needs, improving awareness and producing high quality meat products.
