Large and small businesses have increased their online sales business. Although the development speed of the traditional import and export economy has slowed down, e-commerce has increased strongly. E-commerce has the characteristics of shortening transaction links and reducing costs, enabling producers to directly face end consumers and reducing commodity prices. Thailand currently does not have an online shopping platform with domestic capital. They are all platforms with foreign capital, such as Shopee, Lazada, and Alibaba. Secondly, Thais can also purchase domestic products through Facebook and Instagram, similar to Chinese micro-businesses. Due to the different consumption habits of consumers in the two countries, the acceptance of online shopping is also different. To understand the online shopping behaviors of consumers in the two countries, this paper analyzes the online shopping behaviors of Thai and Chinese consumers through questionnaires and puts forward corresponding opinions to promote the development of e-commerce in Thailand. Furthermore, based on the survey and comparison, it analyzes the future development opportunities of Thailand's e-commerce and promotes the further improvement of Thailand's e-commerce business.","PeriodicalId":448069,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Smart Business and Technology","volume":"354 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115929482","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}

This study examines the impact of perceived benefits and privacy concerns on consumer participation of internet cause-related marketing. Through the questionnaire survey, 517 questionnaires have been divided into experienced groups and inexperienced groups. For those who have participated in internet cause-related marketing campaign, the three types of perceived benefits (functional benefits, experiential benefits, symbolic benefits) can positively affect consumers ’ attitudes towards the campaign, then positively affect their participation. The privacy concerns have a significant negative moderating effect on the impact of functional benefits on attitudes and a significant positive moderating effect on the impact of symbolic benefits. For people who have not participated in internet cause-related marketing campaign, only perceived symbolic benefits and experiential benefits can positively influence their attitudes towards campaign.

According to the analysis results, in both Korean and Chinese cases, consumers’ environmental knowledge had a positive effect on their attitude to eco-friendly products and subjective norms, and the variable that exerted the strongest influence on purchase intention was the subjective norm.

Ultimately, it is a program to increase the satisfaction of consumers. In this study, consumers who choose cosmetics combine the existing attributes and extract the characteristics, and then recommend similar cosmetics, thereby enhancing the availability of consumers. For this purpose, the cosmetics classification of 'hwahae App', a representative cosmetics application in Korea, was used and 'recommendation system based on similarity algorithm' was developed. This study conducted a previous study on the algorithms that form the type and recommendation system of the recommendation system, and then developed a customized cosmetics recommendation system based on Big Data. The suggestion of such a recommended algorithm can help increase consumer satisfaction by receiving similar products that are suitable for their skin type or taste within the consumer market where there are numerous products in the market today. As a result, the company will be able to reduce the cost and time of purchasing cosmetics while increasing satisfaction by being recommended for other products with similar characteristics to existing ones. In conclusion, the application of the recommendation system using big data is meaningful in that it has not only practicality but also academic meaning by utilizing big data algorithms.","PeriodicalId":448069,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Smart Business and Technology","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128773036","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}

Using the data on intragroup transactions (sales, purchases, receivables, and payables) and intragroup ownership between 1999 and 2014, we derive two findings. First, the intragroup transactions of firms with large and/or direct ownership by the controlling family enhance the firms’ performance significantly more than those of firms with small and/or indirect ownership by the family. Second, firms’ performance improves more if the counterparties of the intragroup transactions are firms with smaller and/or more indirect ownership by family and also with counterparty firms that are central to the group. The results are consistent with the tunneling hypothesis and suggest that intragroup transactions are important means of tunneling activities by controlling families.","PeriodicalId":448069,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Smart Business and Technology","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128722321","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}

The model uses the idea of stacking model fusion to fuse the prediction results of three different integrated decision tree models of Light GBM, XG Boost, and Random Forest, and then uses a simple logistic regression classification model and a linear regression model to predict separately based on the fused prediction results Whether the user will buy in the future and the specific time of purchase.

The model consists of three parts. First, based on the needs of users, determine the subjective dimensions of users' demand for cloud services, and realize the measurement of user preferences. Secondly, according to the service capability of the cloud service provider, the ability of the cloud service provider to meet the needs of users is measured. From the perspective of cloud service providers, after determining the indicators that can reflect the service capabilities of cloud service providers, innovatively establish a bridge between service capabilities and user needs. Realize the evaluation of cloud service providers from the perspective of demand realization, that is, to measure their demand satisfaction ability. Finally, according to the recommendation rules in this article, the similarity distance between the user and the candidate cloud service provider based on requirements is compared, and the cloud service provider that matches the user's corresponding needs and preferences is recommended to the user, and personalized decision-making recommendation for the cloud service provider is realized. The recommendation system proposed and implemented in this paper is no longer limited to the evaluation of cloud service providers, but in the recommendation process, it combines the needs and preferences of cloud service users and specific cloud service field characteristics and other information and combines fuzzy evaluation methods.
