Research has shown that the city brand equity can have a positive impact on improving the city's reputation, and that the city brand equity can have a positive impact on travel intention as well.

최근에 주목받고 있는 하이브리드 클라우드는 기존 퍼블릭과 프라이빗 클라우드의 이점을 결합한 방식으로, 보안성과 자원 효율성이 뛰어나다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 하이브리드 클라우드 시스템을 구성하는 각각의 클라우드 개체들은 성능이 향상됨에 따라 더 역동적으로 작동하는 반면, 기존에 형성된 개체 간 관계는 차츰 느슨해지고 있기 때문에 개체 간 협력과 지속적인 신뢰 관리가 반드시 필요하다. 신뢰성 관리 시스템(Trust Management System)은 유저들의 피드백을 DB화 해서 신뢰적인 개체를 판별하는데 도움을 준다. 이 시스템은 신뢰성이라는 가치를 판단하는 근거가 매우 주관적이라는 단점을 가지고 있어 부작용이 발생하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 신뢰성 수치(Trust Value)를 계산하기 위한 파라미터에 객관적인 기준을 도입하였다. 따라서 주관적 판단과 객관적 근거가 조화된 수치를 도출하여 개체의 독립적인 의사 결정에 도움을 줌으로써 신뢰성 관리 시스템의 신뢰성을 높였다.

This study was conducted to examine the relationships among various visible clues and non-visible clues as perceived by franchise family restaurant consumers. Using online survey tool in South Korea, total 450 survey was distributed and 400 participants were used for further statistical analysing with SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 20.0. Twelve items were categorized into four visible factors (food, interior, exterior, employee). The result shows that food and employee have positive effects on brand reputation and distinctiveness, and the interior and employee were critical antecedents for brand distinctiveness. In addition, the brand reputation and brand distinctiveness have positive influence on experiential value as well as revisit intention. Although there were many studies which demonstrated the relationships among various quality clues and other outcome variables, such as brand image, loyalty, little research explained the relationships among visible elements of franchise family restaurants, brand reputation, brand distinctiveness, and revisit intention. The present study will provide theoretical and practical implications for both academia and the franchise family restaurant industry. (what is the meaning of the red part?)

We model that separation is a rational decision to resolve the inherent uncertainty about quality form the matching process. In health insurance markets, quality of services is revealed to consumers only after enrollment. Discrepancies between the expected and realizeed quality lead utility-maximizing enrollees to disenroll if they find a better alternative. Accordingly, factors that reduce this discrepancy will decrease disenrollment. The firm-level empirical analysis shows that disenrollment is relatively small in markets where the reputation effect works efficiently becuse consumers can predict the expected quality accurately.

Horizontal cooperation is seen as an effective way to raise a competitive advantage in logistics and transportation. However, there are many logistics enterprises still operating individually instead of cooperating. This research aims to investigate the factors influencing the decision of horizontal cooperation by surveying a large sample of Vietnamese logistics companies. This study employs 161 logistics companies to examine correlations between potential factors and horizontal collaboration. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the conceptual model and the relationships among variables. The findings revealed that information sharing was the most important predictor of 161 supply chain providers' horizontal collaboration decisions, which resulted in increased profitability or service quality. Besides, trust in partners was found to be positively related to the degree of horizontal cooperation among logistics companies. Finally, the finding of this research is that reputation had a positive effect on the strategy of horizontal cooperation. Our findings suggest that SME managers should be concerened about their information sharing, their reputation as well as their trust in partners if they would be invited in cooperation with another firm to increase service quality, performance, and competitive advantage.

Previous studies present the mixed results on online reputation mechanism. In this study, we have found that an approach based on Bayesian statistics can explain most results of previous studies which are conflicting with each others. With this model, we explain why negative ratings have more significant marginal impacts on sellers' reputation than positive ones do. Furthermore, we even show why the feedbacks with a few negative ratings may increase the value of the item and final prices by confirming buyers' prior beliefs on the sellers' reputation much more than those without negative ratings. Also, we explain why there are not many negative ratings. Even though some studies suggest this because of generosity of users, our model shows that the reason is that the existence of FS itself prevents bad sellers from participating to the market as a signal itself. Even further, we show how this extreme tendency of positive ratings gets even stronger as markets evolve. Finally, to validate our analytical results, we examine the previous studies and see what factors effect the outcomes of their analyses.
