Digital gaming culture in Vietnam: an exploratory study

ABSTRACT

New information and communication technologies continue to spread rapidly into the Asian marketplace, which has led to new patterns of leisure consumption, one of the most popular being digital gaming. However, in Vietnam there is limited research on gaming as a leisure activity. The purpose of this study is to explore the phenomenon of digital gaming in Vietnam to better understand how it is practiced in this culture. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty-five gaming industry figures and gamers. Thematic analysis was used to guide data collection and analysis. The findings indicate that glocalisation, socialised gaming practices and competitiveness characterise the Vietnamese gaming experience. The distinct culture of Vietnam combined with globalised gaming consumption habits has created new modes of play culture, and hence leisure experiences that are growing in pervasive and influential ways.     

Profiling mobile TV adopters in college student populations of Korea

By profiling demographic characteristics, perceived general adoption attributes, perceived value-based adoption attributes, motivational needs, mass media use, and content interest, this exploratory study examines the nature of four categories of mobile TV adopters — current, potential, continuous non-, and discontinuous user groups. Despite the limited sample size (N = 214), there are some meaningful findings. First of all, the non-adoption rate of mobile TV of the continuous non-, and discontinuous user groups is higher than the adoption rate of the current and potential user groups. Less than half of the respondents (N = 34) who had used TV on a mobile device were unwilling to use it again in the next twelve months, and almost half of those (N = 102) did not have the intention of using it within the coming year. The results suggest that the discontinuous group seems to have been dissatisfied with the actual mobile TV use when compared with their expectations and evaluations, while the potential user group is more likely to have high expectations and positive evaluations before the adoption and use of mobile TV. All user groups were unwilling to pay the fee, despite the current and potential user groups perceiving the exceptional values. No differences were found in the personality trait of innovativeness and mass media use behaviors among the four groups.     

我国数字经济发展战略与路径研究--基于国际经验的考察

当前我国经济正处于增速放缓、结构升级及经济发展动力转换的新常态阶段。寻找新的经济增长点和新动能是经济新常态时期的重要任务和目标,而发展数字经济则是目前最优的经济发展模式。2017年数字经济被写入政府工作报告,预示着数字经济作为继农业经济和工业经济发展模式之后的又一新型社会经济发展形态,已成为新常态下中国经济发展的新动能,也是推动我国供给侧结构性改革的重要抓手。但数字经济模式属于新型经济发展模式,目前尚无一个完整的发展参考体系,需要我国自寻探究发展道路。由此,本文在研究数字经济内涵及其战略意义的基础上,基于我国数字经济发展现状和国外发展战略提出了我国数字经济的具体发展路径。     

数字化转型研究知识结构与热点趋势

随着信息通信技术的渗透扩散,数字化转型已成为重要研究方向之一,把握数字化转型研究热点和趋势,可为未来研究提供指引和参考。针对WOS数据库935篇文献,运用CiteSpaceV进行可视化分析,探索数字化转型领域的知识结构、热点和趋势。结果表明,数字化转型研究高产国家为美国、德国和英国,高产机构为哥本哈根商学院、瓦萨大学、麻省理工学院等,《TechnologicalForecastingandSocialChange》是发表文章最多的期刊,研究热点包括“信息技术、组织变革和绩效”、“工业4.0和数字化转型”与“商业模式创新”等。关键词突现分析表明,以客户为中心的商业模式创新和新的价值创造方式是新趋势。最后,从前因—过程—结果三方面提出数字化转型研究内容框架与未来展望。     

银行业务地域特征和银行机构集聚

由于交通成本和信息成本的存在,银行业务呈现出一定的地域特征。不同的地域特征使得各个地区适合集聚的银行业务也存在差异。地方政府应该根据经济发展水平、金融业务资源禀赋、地理环境和金融生态环境等因素的实际情况,选择合适的政策措施,促进银行业务和银行机构的集聚。     

Are small travel agencies ready for digital marketing? Views of travel agency managers

Digital technology provides new communication and distribution channel for both consumers and suppliers of travel services. Internet enables the travel agencies to adopt digital marketing to attract, inform and serve the travellers. However, in developing countries, the adoption of internet and digital marketing is slow. This study therefore finds it imperative to explore the triggering factors and perceived challenges of digital marketing by travel agencies - an entity whose perspectives do not find much place in the published academic literature. The qualitative study reveals the popular and trusted digital platforms used by the travel agencies. It also presents the factors that inhibit or assist the use of digital marketing by travel service managers.     

一种通用数字中频正交扩频调制器的实现

提出了一种适应于宽带扩频通信系统的数字中频调制的实现方案,它基于正交调制、DDS、数字上变频和数字内插等技术,采用通用硬件平台,可以生成多种中频调制信号,可广泛用于数字化扩频通信电台、宽带CDMA、软件无线电、遥控遥测等通信系统中。     

数字中频接收机的设计与实现

数字中频接收机(DIFR)是对中频信号直接采样，其信道化功能由数字正交下变频器和数字滤波器来实现。因此，DIFR适用于接收和处理多载波、多模式信号，可解决很多种信号之间的互通互连问题。本文基于DIFR对动态范围、带宽、自动增益控制和高速信号采集等技术需求，优化设计了一种大动态宽带DIFR，给出了该系统的实现方案、各部分的参数分配及系统设计指标；给出了一种新型的数字自动增益控制(DAGC)实现电路，并提出了其控制算法。     

一种调频信号数字正交解调方法

本文提出了一种对调频信号进行数字解调的方法。该方法利用DDS产生的数字正交载波将调频信号进行数字下变频,利用FIR抽取滤波器和数字微分器在基带进行信号处理,从而得到调制信号。仿真结果显示,该方法在较低信噪比环境下能够准确地恢复调制信号。     

农业供应链金融的数字化转型:理论与中国案例

随着农村电商、物联网和数字金融的快速发展,我国农业供应链金融开始向数字化转型,本文对数字化农业供应链金融模式进行理论和案例分析。研究发现,相比于传统农业供应链金融,数字化农业供应链金融借助于电商平台、物联网、大数据和云计算等数字应用和技术,能够降低金融服务过程中的交易成本,构建农村数字化信用评价体系,优化风险控制策略,最终提高金融供给效率。目前数字化农业供应链金融已形成互联网企业驱动和数字化农业企业驱动两种模式,但是仍面临资金成本高、数字足迹缺乏和信息孤岛等问题,限制其作用的发挥。未来应加快对传统农业的数字化改造,推动农村电商的发展,支持和规范涉农互联网金融机构的发展,最终完善数字化农业供应链金融模式,为发展中国家的农业供应链金融贡献创新模式。
