When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it drastically changed the way that many consumers conducted their shopping for almost all their needs. This created a dramatic increase in online purchases, causing global e-commerce sales to skyrocket to 26.7 billion dollars, up four percent from the previous year (UNCTAD, 2021). This surge in sales caused an increase in certain customer segments, resulting in many retailers rethinking their marketing and branding strategies. To many retailers’ surprise, elderly adults aged sixty-five and older began to adopt e-commerce shopping during the pandemic at an overwhelming rate.

In recent years, with its amazing online interactive promotion ability, e-commerce live streaming has attracted the attention of theoretical scholars and practical experts. This study takes “co-presence (CP) ” and “social presence (SP) ”, which are the prominent features of e-commerce live streaming, as the breakthrough point to explore the mechanism of the influence of co-presence and social presence on purchase intention. In this study, consumers with e-commerce live streaming watching experience are taken as participants, and the method of structural equation modeling is used. It is found that: presence significantly impacts flow experience and consumer purchase intention, while the impact of the two kinds of presence (SP, CP) is variable. the promotion effect of the two kinds of presence (SP, CP) on consumer purchase intention is completely mediated by flow experience. The mediating effect of co-presence on consumer purchase intention through flow experience is regulated by e-commerce live streaming topicality, but social presence doesn’t.

The E-commerce market continues to grow in recent years, many companies have generated customer satisfaction by improving the quality of fulfilment, but the effects needed further investigation. Customer satisfaction research in e-commerce is one of the major areas of e-commerce research. Previous studies have investigated customer satisfaction factors in e-commerce from the perspective of e-SERVQUAL (e-service quality). Zeithaml et al. (2000) investigated that fulfilment has a significant impact on customer satisfaction in e-commerce. China's e-commerce market is the largest in the world at $2,879 billion and accounts for the largest share of the total retail market worldwide at 50.4%. This research focused on China’s e-commerce market.

E-commerce has been rapidly growing in China which has quickly become the largest e-commerce market in the world. However, this has also led to an increasing number of e-commerce disputes. In practice, such disputes are resolved by online dispute resolution. As the results of online dispute resolution are not legally binding, however, China’s online arbitration procedure has been criticized especially regarding the conflicts between party autonomy and institutional autonomy. China’s judicial reviews would claim that such awards cannot be enforced. Therefore, there is a call to make online arbitral awards enforceable and to expand the application of online arbitration to more e-commerce disputes in China. This paper examines how to best analyse and address such conflicts. We explain the importance of arbitral institutions’ autonomy in terms of ensuring access to justice as well as the importance of limiting party autonomy in certain circumstances due to the rise in online disputes.

Since 2015 China has been actively developing the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot areas. They are one of the mechanisms that the PRC has been promoting international trade in the digital era. Enterprises registered in the cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot areas enjoy preferential tax policies and may draw upon the support measures delivered by provinces and municipalities. The State Council also introduced the “Six Systems and Two Platforms” principle which revolutionized the sphere of public administration of crossborder e-commerce trade. This helps to solve many the problems concerning taxation, customs clearance and logistics. Analysis of Chinese legislation and local regulations illustrates that the PRC elaborated a new type of economic zone integrating small and medium sized enterprises into the global trade market. A comparison of Chinese policy with a Russian initiative to introduce new experimental regimes for foreign online trade shows that both states could cooperate by establishing a joint mechanism for cross-border e-commerce promotion. Russia also could use China’s experience in order to launch its own system of cross-border e-commerce support.

Based on the analysis of the development of cross-border e-commerce in BRICS countries and the status quo of cross-border e-commerce trade between China and other BRICS countries, this paper makes a quantitative analysis of China's cross-border e-commerce exports to other BRICS countries and its influencing factors. Based on the classical expression of gravity model, this paper adjusts the model and constructs an extended gravity model with China's cross-border e-commerce exports to other BRICS countries as dependent variable, GDP of other BRICS countries, distance between China and the BRICS countries, population of importing countries, consumption gap, Internet penetration, logistics performance composite index of importing countries and cultural gap as independent variables. Based on the panel data of China, Russia, India, Brazil and South Africa for 8 years from 2010 to 2017, this paper finds that the GDP of importing countries, Internet penetration of importing countries, consumption gap, logistics performance composite index and population have a positive impact on China's cross-border e-commerce exports to other BRICS countries, while cultural gap and geographical distance have a negative impact on China's cross-border e-commerce exports to other BRICS countries.

농촌 종점 물류는 농촌 주민들의 온라인 쇼핑에 영향을 주는 중요한 요인임. 농촌 인터넷 쇼핑의 서비스 품질은 양호한 종점 물류 배송과 지원이 필요함. 농촌 이커머스의 발전에 의 하여 농촌 주민들이 서비스의 품질에 대한 기대치도 높아지고 있음. 본 연구에서는 이커머스 만족도를 통한 농촌 종점 물류 서비스 품질이 농촌 주민의 온라인 구매행위에 어떠한 영향 미치는지 검토하고, 농촌 종점 물류 서비스의 발전을 위한 개 선 및 발전전략을 제시하였음. 본 연구에서는 구조방정식모델 (SEM)과 온충린의 매개효과 테스트를 적용하여 분석하였음. 1. 신뢰성과 서비스 편의성은 만족도에 긍정적 영향을 미치며, 원가절약은 만족도에 부정적 영향을 미침. 2. 만족도는 인터넷 쇼핑에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났음. 3. 만족도는 반응성과 구매행위 사이에 매개효과가 있고 경제와 구매행위 사이에도 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났음.

해외직구를 비롯한 인터넷 구매 환경에서 소비자들은 실제적인 제품을 보지 못하고 제품의 사진과 제품 정보에 의존하여 의사결정을 내리게 된다. 제품의 사진은 제품의 형태만을 보여줄 뿐이므로 소비자들은 정확한 크기에 대한 정보는 제품 속성을 나타내는 텍스트에 의존하게 된다. 이러한 크기나 양을 표시할 때, 같은 양이나 크기를 나타내는 데에도 여러 가지 단위와 그에 따른 다른 숫자가 사용될 수 있다. 예를 들어 해외 직구 상황에서 30ml 의 향수가 1 fl. oz.로 표시되어 있는 사이트를 발견할 수도 있다. 이러한 상황에서 소비자들은 같은 크기의 제품 이라 하더라도 표시한다고 하더라도 사용된 단위에 따라 크기를 다르게 인식할 수 있다. 즉 큰 숫자로 표현된 사물을 크게 지각하는 다수성 효과가 나타나는 경우도 있고 그 반대로 큰 단위가 사용되면 크게 지각하는 단위효과가 나타날 수도 있다. 이 논문은 이러한 다수성 효과와 단위효과에 영향을 미치는 요소로 심리적 거리 중의 하나인 사회적 거리와 단 위의 친숙성을 제시하고 이들의 조절효과를 살펴 보았다. 이를 위하여 두 가지 실험이 사용되었다. 우선 실험 1 에서는 사회적 거리가 가까울 경우는 다수성 효과가 나타나는 경향이 있고 사회적 거리가 멀 경우에는 단위 효과 가 나타나는 경향이 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 실험 2에서는 단위친숙성이 낮은 경우에는 다수성 효과가 강해지고 단위친숙성이 높은 경우에는 그 다수성 효과가 약해짐을 알 수 있었으며 또 실험 1에서 나타난 사회적 거리의 조절효과는 단위 친숙성이 낮을 경우에는 나타나지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 중국 전자상거래기업의 해외진출이 활발한 원인을 진출방식을 통해 확인하는 것이다. 중국의 전자상거래기업은 중국 국내시장의 폭발적 성장에 힘 입어 세계적인 기업으로 성장하였고 이를 바탕으로 글로벌시장에 진출하고 있다. 전자상거래의 핵심은 신속한 배송이다. 그러나 전통 국제물류는 배송시간이 길고 물류 원가가 비싸며 반품 등 서비스가 낙후되어 전자상거래에 적합하지 못하다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위한 새로운 물류시스템이 등장하였는데 대표적인 것이 해외창고방식이다. 해외창고방식은 4차 산업혁명 기술을 이용하여 현지 소비자의 수요를 미리 예측하여 제품을 현지에 설립된 창고에 배송함으로써 판매기회를 확보할 수 있다. 또한 비수기에 제품을 미리 해외창고로 배송함으로써 배송 성수기를 피하고 저렴한 비용에 해외창고로 보낼 수 있다. 특히 반품이나 교환, 제품 추적에도 4차 산업혁명 기술이 융합되어 전통 국제물류가 가진 단점을 보완하였다. 비록 판매예측이 빗나갔을 경우 리스크가 발생하지만 해외창고방식은 이러한 장점을 바탕으로 중국 전자상 거래기업이 글로벌시장에 영향력을 확대하는데 큰 역할을 하고 있다. 중국 전자상 거래기업은 해외창고방식을 바탕으로 중국 국내시장이 아닌 세계의 시장으로 그 영 역을 확대하고 있는 것이다.

For the whole process of circulation, distribution, application of the logistics system is a higher development step of transportation technology. Multimodal transport has linked all modes of transport together to serve the supply and consumption needs of the manufacturer. Currently, when e-commerce (EC) is on the rise, quality logistics and delivery services are the essential stages to achieve success in transactions. e-commerce today is no longer a fashion trend; it is an essential part of the retail industry. EC is changing the game of Logistics. The e-commerce world has been introducing many risks and complex issues that logistics and supply chain experts have never faced. E-commerce is the main impact on terminal logistics (last mile) and warehousing. However, it is also quite interesting to see how e-commerce is impacting airports and seaports. E-commerce is growing actively in Vietnam at a rate of about 25% per year, which is an excellent opportunity for business logistics services to get more orders. Moreover, the Vietnamese logistics market is small but has a high growth rate (20% - 25% / year). In recent times, this market is expected to change the face and grow faster due to the development of electronic retail in Vietnam and e-Logistics logistics trends in the world. However, to meet the requirements, to grasp the opportunities, logistics enterprises need to link to get a closed and synchronized service chain. So logistics companies need to increase information, respond faster, enhance technology to meet flexible processes, establish networks, and business links to meet changing needs. The article shows that the inadequacies and lack of cohesion between logistics service providers and e-commerce are limiting competitiveness, losing opportunities of enterprises, and the economy in the context of healthy industrial revolution 4.0. The assessment of the correlation and connectivity of logistics and e-commerce enterprises in Vietnam in the paper will contribute significantly to the development of Vietnam's economy in the period 2020-2025.
