With the rapid growth of social media platforms and mobile devices, the mobile social commerce changes consumers' purchasing behaviour. A theoretical model based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and perceived value theory is developed to investigate the purchasing intention within mobile social commerce context. The stated preference (SP) survey is conducted to collect data through nine hypothetical scenarios generated by the orthogonal configuration of four control factors. We targeted at people with WeChat account and total 1809 observations have been gathered. The results indicate that perceived social tie strength and social influence positively affect the intention to purchase. Furthermore, there exists an inverse U-shaped relationship between perceived usefulness and purchasing intention. The practical model further demonstrates that the purchasing intention is relatively high when perceived usefulness is moderate and the factors of perceived social tie strength, social influence and product price could slightly influence purchasing intention in the condition of low level perceived usefulness.

This paper aims to examine the effects of important determinants such as ubiquitous connection, context-aware, reputation and familiarity on consumers' purchase intention by the path of trust and social benefit in mobile commerce. Data were collected from an online survey system. The formal questionnaire consisted of two sections. Section 1 measured respondent perceptions of each construct in the research model. Section 2 aimed to understand respondent basic personal data. The study results indicate that both trust and social can positively influence purchase intention in mobile commerce. Ubiquitous connection and familiarity fail to influence trust directly but can influence purchase intention by the path of social benefit as expected. The research extends the literature on consumers' purchase intention identifying the importance of ubiquitous connection, context-aware, reputation and familiarity and probing into the relationship of trust, social benefit and purchase intention. The results suggest prescriptive strategies for mobile commerce sellers.

Facebook commerce or f-commerce has become a new trend in mobile commerce (m-commerce) due to the advancements in mobile communications and social media technologies. Despite a huge business potential in f-commerce, impulse purchase in f-commerce is still not well-understood. Unlike previous f-commerce studies which had focused on apparel; e-service quality; organic rice; and membership continuance intention, the current study investigated utilitarian-, hedonic-, and trust-motivations' effects on participation that influences urge to purchase and ultimately impulse purchase. The effects of the personality trait of urgency towards urge to purchase and impulse purchase were also examined. A sample of f-commerce users was selected and their responses were analysed using PLS-SEM. The model can explain 52.8%, 47.4%, 41.1% and 33.3% variance in impulse purchase, participation, urge to purchase and trust. These findings will be beneficial to the mobile commerce retailers, marketers and other f-commerce stakeholders in formulating their marketing strategies and policies.

While radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is becoming widely used in supply chains for several public and private applications in Korea, the widespread diffusion of RFID across various industries is yet to be expected. This study suggests two objectives for RFID research: (1) To show that factors (technological, organisational, and environmental factors) affecting RFID adoption are different between public and private organisations in Korea. (2) To apply a balanced score approach (BSC) to assess the organisational performance after RFID adoption and show differences in the performance of RFID adoption between public and private organisations. Technological complexity, security, and size are the most important factors for public RFID adopters, while technological compatibility, adoption cost, and competitive pressure are the most important determinants for RFID adoption in private organisations. It turns out that RFID adoption positively influences the organisational performance in aspects of learning and growth, internal process, and customers rather than financial performance. Furthermore, the emphasis on the four measures of BSC is different between public and private organisations, as the RFID adoption by public organisations is more significantly linked to financial performance than private organisations. In contrast, private organisations are more likely to produce learning and growth, internal process efficiency, and customer performance than public organisations.

Retaining consumers is critical for multi-channel retailers. This study identifies the factors that influence consumer repurchase intention in an online-cum-mobile retail context by focusing on the impacts of channel integration on consumer self-regulatory processes. The research model was empirically tested on the data collected from 317 consumers of a famous e-retailer in China. The results indicate that channel integration has strong and positive effects on service quality perceptions in both online and mobile environments, which further influence transaction-specific satisfaction and cumulative satisfaction. In addition, transaction-specific satisfaction has a positive influence on cumulative satisfaction, and both of them in turn positively affect repurchase intention. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

This paper aims to provide a secure and reliable solution to the electronic identity authentication in mobile commerce system. The solution is to get high-strength elliptic curve cryptography ECC key by generating hash values from dynamic vector collection of fingerprints, which are converted from fingerprint images by randomising angular movement or rotation angle. With the introduction of ECC asymmetric encryption algorithms and SSL-VPN network integration, the proposed security identity authentication of mobile commerce and the processes of access management may well solve the problems of identity control and verification of authorisation management. The hybrid authentication and secure mode not only realises the dynamic binding of login users and the control of role management in mobile commerce but also dramatically reduces the risk of internal identity being tampered and brute forced in mobile commerce system, providing a more reliable security for current business transactions and gross settlement.
