This paper discusses the issues of business process analysis, modeling and design for smart home service system. A new smart home idea is introduced, and the system architecture is proposed which is constructed on three networks: home IoT network, home service network and family social network. Home business processes are analyzed and classified, and then a BPMN-based home business process modeling method is presented with the procurement business being taken as an example to illustrate the modeling method. System function design is discussed at the end.","PeriodicalId":147619,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Joint Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126871738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such experience goes beyond mere customer satisfaction and plays a fundamental role in determining the customers' preferences and purchase decisions. It is not sufficient to achieve customer satisfaction, but to consider its component experiences, intangible elements linked to the emotional value perceived by customers and the emotional and irrational side of customer behavior. The authors hold the view that building an integrated emotional framework to delineate consumers experience will further predict customer post-consumption behavior besides the traditional satisfaction rating. This review starts from literature concerning to customer satisfaction, afterwards from a psychological perspective states reasons why we need to study consumer emotions, and then briefly summarizes the existing empirical researches regarding how emotions affect consumer behavior. Finally, the authors introduce affect taxonomies that could be used for predicting customers' post-consumption behavior instead of customer satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":147619,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Joint Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125131359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this is merely an initial step toward eventual success of an information technology (IT) system. Recent endeavour has increasingly shifted to continued IT use, or continuance, which is deemed essential to the survival of an IT system. In this article, a comprehensive review of studies on IT continuance has been conducted. Four major models have been identified: continuance as an extension of adoption, expectancy-disconfirmation theory, temporal updating mechanisms, and habit. It is now generally agreed that the first model is not readily applicable to IT continuance because most determinants of IT adoption are not robust predictors of continued use except for perceived usefulness. Other models present much higher explanatory power. Nonetheless, they have not tapped the emotional aspect over the course of IT use. Further investigation in this area is needed.","PeriodicalId":147619,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Joint Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115011619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through analyzing the reasons lying behind the differences, we find, at present, China has done a good job in building social security system for senior citizens. With stable endowment insurance, senior citizens have the strongest sense of happiness. Graduate degree has no decisive impact on happiness index, but the profession has great relation to happiness index. Those citizens with higher income are more likely to feel happy.

Employing statistics techniques of reliability analysis, validity analysis, and structural equation model analysis, empirical results show that back-office employee satisfaction has significant influence on customer satisfaction. Furthermore, back-office employee satisfaction is found to be the key factor to customer satisfaction, affecting customer satisfaction in both direct and indirect ways.

Under the force of competition, it is necessary for the companies to grasp the real customers needs After reviewing the classic theory models about customer needs, including Maslow hierarchy of needs theory, Herzberg's two-factor theory, McClelland Achievement Motivation Theory and Kano model, this study focuses on how customer service needs affect customer behaviors in the e-commerce circumstance. With the survey, the study finds out the construction of customer service needs in the e-commerce circumstance. Customer service needs compose of service attributes needs (SAN), social relationship needs (SRN), expectation needs (EPN) and exciting needs (EXN). Furthermore, this study also finds that exciting needs have a strong effect on customer satisfaction. In comparison, service attributes needs and expectation needs are the factors of customer loyalty. From the perspective of customer emotion, service attributes needs and exciting needs can arouse happy mood, but service attributes needs, social relationship needs and exciting needs contribute to improve wake-up emotions.","PeriodicalId":147619,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Joint Conference on Service Sciences","volume":"195 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120930345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
