This study proposes development strategies for domestic e-commerce of agricultural products. So far, it grows quantitatively so fast, but because of lack of continuous management, it does not work properly. Previous studies have some outcome for vitalization of e-commerce, but they have limits that they neglect rapid changes of e-commerce circulation structures and practical problems farmers go through when they sell their products. This study deals with these problems more than previous. The first phase of this study analyzes two cases of overseas successful and failure e-commerce sites of agricultural products, for example, Wine.com and Webvan.com. The second phase analyzes As-Is and distribution structure of domestic e-commerce of agricultural products. Finally this study asserts three strategies for domestic e-commerce of agricultural products based on Web 2.0 environment.

At a time when the e-commerce market is experiencing accelerated growth, with advancements in information and communications technology (ICT), the problems of distribution of counterfeit products and consumer confusion caused by non-face-to-face purchases have increased. Hence, amid intensifying competition, it has become important for e-commerce companies deliver product information more efficiently, provide differentiated services, and secure credibility for consumers by reducing consumer damage from buying counterfeit products. However, even though consumer confusion and the inadvertent purchase of counterfeit products are intensifying in such a market scenario, there are no services that aim to solve such problems. This study examines the conventional e-commerce industry in South Korea through a political, economic, social, and technological (PEST) analysis, based on in-depth interviews with consumers, to derive the pain and gain points of the industry. As a result, the inherent problems of the e-commerce industry were revealed. Through a service value network perspective, services aimed at resolving such issues were derived, and the e-commerce business ecosystem needed to solve this problem was deduced. The findings revealed that the artificial intelligence-based service support platform has become a major driving force within the e-commerce innovation ecosystem by enabling a new way to create and secure value using ICT. This entails a new exchange mechanism and transaction architecture and a new organizational structure that breaks the barriers between industries.

This study was focused on analyzing the impacts of e-commerce on the farmer's management behavior and suggesting alternatives for the development of e-commerce in agricultural industry. For this study, survey was conducted for 24 farmers who sell agricultural products through e-commerce in Chungnam province. The results of study are as follows; First, farmers have changed their management practices in terms of production, marketing and processing by using the information of consumers' preferences while doing e-commerce business. Second, farmers have attempted to differentiate their product through product brand and customer relationship marketing, because they recognized the importance of developing marketing techniques adapted to e-commerce system for more revenues. Third, if quality certification system of agricultural products is introduced under e-commerce, farmers would use it for their environmentally sounded farming because they expect to increase their income. Fourth, 75% of the farmers sold their product at retail price. It means that e-commerce farmers act as a price maker rather than price taker at e-commerce market, who will be encouraged to have larger business size resulting in more added value. Based on the results of study, we suggest that there should be reduction of service charge for credit card, and encouragement of B2B transaction for the economy of scale and introduction of quality certification system so as to establish e-commerce system of agricultural industry as soon as possible.

This study examines the effect of careless marketing communications (e.g. misspellings, incomplete information) in website on consumers' trust toward and confidence in purchasing a product from an e-commerce. Research design and methodology: An experimental research design (with two experimental studies) was used in to test the hypotheses. Study 1 employs a single-factor design and study 2 employs a 2x2, full-factorial, between-subjects design. Results: Results of the two experimental studies (Study 1, n = 60; Study 2, n = 140) demonstrate that simple mistakes significantly decrease consumers' trust toward an e-commerce and their confidence to purchase from the e-commerce. The effect is found to be significant in the case of high-involvement products; whereas no effect is found in low-involvement products. Conclusions: E-commerce relies heavily on carefully crafted marketing communications to establish consumers' trust and confidence. These studies confirm the equal importance of distribution and communication in maintaining consumers' trust and sustainability of the business.

Considering that users can earn profits through selling digital products and the profits can be converted into fiat money or virtual assets, the commerce activities within Metaverse are similar to existing e-commerce. However, due to the peculiarity of transactions performed in Metaverse platform, the current legal system is insufficient to apply to Metaverse commerce, and many researches have been conducted for this purpose. But, regulatory research on NFT(Non-Fungible Token) digital products that can be applied to all types of physical products is inadequate. Therefore, This study investigated the types of digital products commerce in Metaverse, investigated the issues of commerce transactions related to NFT digital products and the regulations related to them.

전자거래상의 각종 사이버 침해 사고에 대처하기 위한 네트워크 보안 제품이 보급되고 있으나, 유지 관리 면에서 보안 전문가 정도의 전문 기술력이 요구되는 관계로 기업체나 공공기관에서 보안 제품의 설치 운영의 필요성은 절실하게 느낌에도 실제 보안제품의 보급이 빠르게 이루어지지 않아 국내 각종 사이트들에 대한 보안 취약성이 심각한 실정이다. 본 논문은 이러한 전자거래 환경의 보안관리를 비전문가도 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 데이터 무결성 분석의 자동화 도구를 설계 구현하였다.

본 연구는 중국과의 전자상거래 교역에 해상으로 운송되는 화물의 흐름을 분석하고 지역별/품목별로 화물의 특성을 파악하여, 중국으로의 전자상거래 수출 증진 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 기종점 분석 및 시각화 기법을 활용하여 2015년부터 2018년 1분기까지 해상운송을 이용한 대(對)중국 전자상거래 수출입자료를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 현재 중국과 해상특송 서비스를 제공하고 있는 인천항에서 가장 많은 대(對)중국 전자상거래 화물이 수입되고 있었으며, 평택항의 경우, 중국으로부터 수입된 전자상거래 화물이 다시 인천세관으로 운송되어 통관 절차를 거치는 비효율이 발생하고 있음도 파악할 수 있었다. 또한, 최종 배송지가 전국적으로 분포되어 있는 전자상거래 수입의 경우와는 달리, 해상을 통해 중국으로 수출되는 전자상거래 제품들은 배송대행업체 및 포워더 업체들이 밀집된 서울과 경기지역에만 국한되어 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 전자상거래 수입과는 달리, 해상을 통해 수출되는 전자상거래 품목은 주로 의류와 화장품류에 국한되어 있었으며, 수출 규모 역시 수입에 비해 적게 나타나고 있다. 해상을 통한 대(對)중국 전자상거래 수출 활성화 방안으로는 전자상거래 환적을 통해 중국으로의 수출 제품 다변화로 수출 화물량을 증가시키는 방안과 더불어, 중국과의 전자상거래 운송에 콜드체인(cold chain)을 구축하여 수출품의 다변화를 도모하는 방안이 도출되었다.
