This study chose the academic journals related with e-sports for analysis among the top tier journals of National Research Foundation of Korea from 2006 to 2011 to check the academic trend Beginning in 2006, the first study of e-sports was published in the journal related with e-sports. So, the studies from 2006 to 2011 were chosen for analysis. Using Research Information Sharing Service(RISS), the keyword 'e-sports' was searched. By virtue of this process, total 27 studies were selected as final analysis. So, the academic trends are as follows. In Korea, the studies related with e-sports have started from the beginning of 2000s with internet and then it spread out via cable TV. And then from the middle of 2000s, e-sports was discussed seriously. The early subject of the studies usually focused on the measurement of e-sports based on the strategic elements as a product. After that, game addiction and violent tendency which were one of the biggest issues were raised as a constant problem and it became the academic studies of user behavior. E-sports became a recreation culture of teenagers so it has been in charge of the role of exit and the problems related with it have continuously appeared. So, the academic studies tend to have departmentalization like immersion, addiction, sociality, self-regulation and etc. But, there was a tendency that the similar contents were repeated in the view point of subject and method while the subjects were departmentalized. So, for the systematic study of e-sports, development of the unique subject, study method and verification process should be conducted continuously.

CRM의 하위 연구 분야로 진행되었던 고객이탈예측은 최근 비즈니스 머신러닝 기술의 발전으로 인해 빅데이터 기반의 퍼포먼스 마케팅 주제로 더욱 그 중요도가 높아지고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 관련 연구는 예측 모형 자체의 성능을 개선시키는 것이 주요 목적이었으며, 전체적인 고객이탈예측 프로세스를 개선하고자 하는 연구는 상대적으로 부족했다. 본 연구는 성공적인 고객이탈관리가 모형 자체의 성능보다는 전체 프로세스의 개선을 통해 더 잘 이루어질 수 있다는 가정하에, 이차원 고객충성도 세그먼트 기반의 고객이탈예측 프로세스 (CCP/2DL: Customer Churn Prediction based on Two-Dimensional Loyalty segmentation)를 제안한다. CCP/2DL은 양방향, 즉 양적 및 질적 로열티 기반의 고객세분화를 시행하고, 고객세그먼트들을 이탈패턴에 따라 2차 그룹핑을 실시한 뒤, 이탈패턴 그룹별 이질적인 이탈예측 모형을 독립적으로 적용하는 일련의 이탈예측 프로세스이다. 제안한 이탈예측 프로세스의 상대적 우수성을 평가하기 위해 기존의 범용이탈예측 프로세스와 클러스터링 기반 이탈예측 프로세스와의 성능 비교를 수행하였다. 글로벌 NGO 단체인 A사의 협력으로 후원자 데이터를 활용한 분석과 검증을 수행했으며, 제안한 CCP/2DL의 성능이 다른 이탈예측 방법론보다 우수한 성능을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 이탈예측 프로세스는 이탈예측에도 효과적일 뿐만 아니라, 다양한 고객통찰력을 확보하고, 관련된 다른 퍼포먼스 마케팅 활동을 수행할 수 있는 전략적 기반이 될 수 있다는 점에서 연구의 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

The advent of the Internet and related Web technologies has created an easily accessible link between a firm and its customers, and has provided opportunities to a firm to use information technology to support supplementary after-sale services associated with a product or service. It has been widely recognized that supplementary services are an important source of customer value and of competitive advantage as the characteristics of the product itself. Many of these supplementary services are information-based and need not be co-located with the product, so more and more companies are delivering these services electronically. Net-based customer service, which is defined as an Internet-based computerized information system that delivers services to a customer, therefore, is the core infrastructure for supplementary service provision. The importance of net-based customer service in delivering supplementary after-sale services associated with product has been well documented. The strategic advantages of well-implemented net-based customer service are enhanced customer loyalty and higher lock-in of customers, and a resulting reduction in competition and the consequent increase in profits. However, not all customers utilize such net-based customer service. The digital divide is the phenomenon in our society that captures the observation that not all customers have equal access to computers. Socioeconomic factors such as race, gender, and education level are strongly related to Internet accessibility and ability to use. This is due to the differences in the ability to bear the cost of a computer, and the differences in self-efficacy in the use of a technology, among other reasons. This concept, applied to e-commerce, has been called the "e-commerce divide." High Internet penetration is not eradicating the digital divide and e-commerce divide as one would hope. Besides, to accommodate personalized support, a customer must often provide personal information to the firm. This personal information includes not only name and address, but also preferences information and perhaps valuation information. However, many recent studies show that consumers may not be willing to share information about themselves due to concerns about privacy online. Due to the e-commerce divide, and due to privacy and security concerns of the customer for sharing personal information with firms, limited numbers of customers adopt net-based customer service. The limited level of customer adoption of net-based customer service affects the firm profits and the customers' welfare. We use a game-theoretic model in which we model the net-based customer service system as a mechanism to enhance customers' loyalty. We model a market entry scenario where a firm (the incumbent) uses the net-based customer service system in inducing loyalty in its customer base. The firm sells one product through the traditional retailing channels and at a price set for these channels. Another firm (the entrant) enters the market, and having observed the price of the incumbent firm (and after deducing the loyalty levels in the customer base), chooses its price. The profits of the firms and the surplus of the two customers segments (the segment that utilizes net-based customer service and the segment that does not) are analyzed in the Stackelberg leader-follower model of competition between the firms. We find that an increase in adoption of net-based customer service by the customer base is not always desirable for firms. With low effectiveness in enhancing customer loyalty, firms prefer a high level of customer adoption of net-based customer service, because an increase in adoption rate decreases competition and increases profits. A firm in an industry where net-based customer service is highly effective loyalty mechanism, on the other hand, prefers a low level of adoption by customers.
