Business-to-customer e-commerce has grown in line with the increasing number of internet users in Indonesia. The number of new customers on websites is increasing, but although the investigated company profits more from recurrent customers than new ones, this bookstore has difficulty retaining customers. To address this, we extend the expectation confirmatory model, using the site quality and regret variables. We collected data from customers who had bought products from the company website; the analysis employed the structural equation modeling approach. The results showed that customer satisfaction, customer trust, and regret directly affect repurchase intention. Site quality and confirmation are factors that indirectly affect repurchase intention. To retain existing customers, the company should improve its website design, enhance the payment and delivery options, and add a discussion forum and customer service features.","PeriodicalId":38305,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronic Commerce Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47297095","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}

Blockchain can be used in a wide range of applications. Recently, many blockchain inventions and applications have been proposed, which have received considerable attention from academics, industry practitioners, and the government. However, few studies have analyzed the development of blockchain technology. In this study, a patent analysis of the U.S. patents of blockchain was conducted. With an analysis of 335 patents awarded, a profile of recent blockchain technology development was obtained. The results indicated that three-quarters of the U.S. blockchain patents were originated in the United States. Half of the awarded U.S. patents are from foreign origin, and the proportion of the blockchain patent originated in the United States is more extensive, which revealed that the United States is a leader in the blockchain technology. Furthermore, 14% of blockchain patents were awarded to IBM, indicating that IBM as a technology giant in the blockchain technology. Additionally, word cloud and N-gram were used to reveal the relevant terms and phrases used in the abstracts of blockchain patents.","PeriodicalId":38305,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Electronic Commerce Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45232432","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}

Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to formulate a Kaizen program suitable for measurement and improvement of web application security vulnerabilities. An improvement working procedure is introduced to implement the Kaizen program. Further, an augmented attack potential measurement method is proposed to measure the effectiveness of the formulated Kaizen program. The proposed new attack potential measurement method is considered to be an umbrella under which several novel techniques and methods are included, such as OWASP’s web application security vulnerabilities assessment method, ISO/IEC 18045 attack potential ratings method and fuzzy evaluation method. The numerical results of an example are presented to show that the augmented attack potential measurement method is not only comparable but also distinguishable. It is more reasonable and effective than that of the traditional method for measuring web application security improvement. Finally, conclusions are made and suggestions for future work are proposed.

Good content strategy that takes into account what customers value is important to success, but very little is known about proper content types. The goal of this study was thus to understand the role of post quantity and content types in customer engagement on Facebook pages using content analysis to collect qualitative data and quantitative data. Content types were categorized into two categories and nine sub-categories according to the 4Ps theory along with uses and gratifications theory. More than 1,500 posts from 183 brand pages were analyzed to examine the relationships between overall posts per page in a week, the page’s engagement, and popularity. The results represent the first attempts to explore content types with various established theories. The findings of this study could reflect the post types of brand pages by industries and guide brand page administrators toward effective content strategy.

This study demonstrates that the variables related with mobile shopping continuation are navigability, information quality, security, fluency, visual appeal, and reputation, which then can be categorized into three groups as structural, functional, and representational constructs. Building on the perspective of consumer tolerance, mobile shoppers with different shopping orientations are categorized into three groups based on their level of tolerance towards proposed website constructs. The findings indicate that mobile shoppers with utilitarian-orientation will tolerate performance of representational aspects of the coffee shop website, while mobile shoppers with hedonic-orientation will tolerate performance of functional aspects. Our findings provide valuable insight to the owners of coffee shops with online stores to better maintain and apply their budget while developing online stores.

Social media facilitate improved targeting and play a critical role in marketing operations. We collect empirical data that can be used to determine whether social media marketing actually creates brand benefits or increases product sales. We proposed a new model for measuring the effectiveness of social media marketing and explained the benefits created by different brand and user types on social media. By conducting the seemingly unrelated regression estimation (SURE) model, this research collected 1,956 valid samples from the consumers who use the social media marketing. The results show that search goods and experience goods in social media marketing create diverse effective directions in interaction effects. For mobile phone brands other than the iPhone, social benefits were nonsignificant; however, brand benefits for them were significant because of the interplay of benefits.Although scholars and marketers are aware already of the significance of social media marketing, there are no definitive empirical data that can be used to determine whether social media marketing actually creates brand benefits or increases product sales. Moreover, in the past, most scholars have focused on verifying causality among the joining motivation, participation, and benefits for a single social media channel (Algesheimer, Dholakia, and Hermann, 2005; Van Doorn et al., 2010). Discussions about brand and the relationship between user types and benefits in social media marketing research are rare. Therefore, in this study, the benefits of social media marketing were examined by considering seven types of social media users and two types of brands in an attempt to identify the main success factors affecting social media marketing.
