Although traditional user testing methods have been employed by the video game industry, they fail to capture players in their natural settings, indicating a more ethnographic approach could generate new insights into their behaviors. With the recent rise in popularity of livestreaming, this paper proposes that employing a “think-aloud” testing method over a livestream can be a useful addition to the testing tools available to developers and provide valuable contextual insights that could help game designers discover radical new innovations. By observing the livestreams for seven games, including two games created by one of the researchers, we discover that livestreaming not only exposes many of the design and product quality issues revealed by more traditional user testing, but that it also exposes many contextual behaviors that would otherwise remain hidden in a laboratory setting. This has implications not just for user testing within the video game industry, but for user testing in other industries desiring more contextual information about their consumers.","PeriodicalId":275033,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Management Science and Engineering (ICMSE)","volume":"52 29","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131472448","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}

Its marketplaces have flourished particularly in western countries, while in China it's not that popular. In this article, we aimed to explore the factors influencing consumer adoption of Airbnb using Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model. The results indicated that performance expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation and price value were significant predictors of intention to use Airbnb, and consumers' trust was positively related to performance expectancy. Further, consumers' cross-cultural experience moderated the relationship between performance expectancy and behavior intention, and consumers' extroversion as well as change seeking tendency moderated the relationship between hedonic motivation and behavior intention.

Based on the perspective of project management, the Grid Method is used to break down the risks of MRDAs between CACs. The risks of MRDAs are broken down into decision-making risks, formation risks, operation risks and disintegration risks from horizon; internal risks and external risks from longitude. Besides, the Modular Method and the Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) are used to identify and analyze the risks of MRDAs, respectively. The results show that: There are 23 specific risks in MRDAs between CACs; And based on a case of the Letpadaung Copper Mine project in Myanmar, these risks can be divided into five levels: high, medium high, medium, medium low, and low. Based on the above results, the risk prevention methods are presented: (1) According to the risk level, the corresponding prevention strategies are developed; (2) Chinese companies need to unite the Chinese government departments and local alliance partners to jointly prevent the risks of MRDAs. Among them, the Chinese government departments mainly prevent political risks; the others mainly prevent non-political risk; (3) For internal risk, the changes of internal key risk-induced factors need to be eliminated, controlled or mitigated as much as possible. For external risks, the changes of external key risk-induced factors need to be strictly monitored, and to develop corresponding responses. Finally, for the internal and external risks, the specific prevention strategies are proposed respectively.","PeriodicalId":275033,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference on Management Science and Engineering (ICMSE)","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116670972","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}

It turns out that firm size has a strong negative relationship with firm's R&D efficiency, but a strong positive association with firm's commercial efficiency. Our study supplements the current knowledge by exploring the relationship between ownership and R&D efficiency which is also contingent on firm size. Then we found that the relationship between age of geographic clusters and R&D efficiency is also contingent on firm size. Discussions and analyses are given to these findings.

First, the results of this research indicate that customer watching intensity, customer consumption amount and customer paying habits have significant influence on customer churn. And the effect of customer watching intensity on customer churn is moderated by customer watching preference. Second, this research uses logistic regression to build the prediction model. Finally, we propose different user retention strategies targeting the churn customers.
