The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the applications of big data in personal knowledge management (PKM).

Five conventional knowledge management dimensions, namely, the value of data, data collection, data storage, data application and data presentation, were applied for integrating big data in the context of PKM.

This study concludes that time management, computer usage efficiency management, mobile device usage behavior management, health management and browser surfing management are areas where big data can be applied to PKM.

While the literature discusses PKM without considering the impact of big data, this paper aims to extend existing knowledge by demonstrating the application of big data in PKM.

In the tide of the sharing economy, food and beverage sharing services (FBSS) are gradually drawing public attention. Many comments about FBSS are posted and discussed online, and this information may suggest the key factors in the operation of FBSS. This study aims to identify the key success factors (KSFs) of FBSS from online communities and media, potential consumers, customers and experts.

This study utilizes Internet big data analytics (IBDA) to identify the key FBSS factors and then examines the KSFs of FBSS through conducting an analysis of the importance of key factors for potential consumers, confirmatory factor analysis of customer satisfaction of key factors, multiple regression analysis of customer satisfaction of key factors influencing the customers' intentions to continue participating in FBSS and a decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory of experts' opinions.

The results showed that the 15 key FBSS factors through IBDA were screened out. Among them, four KSFs that influence the operation of FBSS were identified. These four KSFs are discussed in detail in the text.

The findings of this study provide references for FBSS providers in the future to enhance customer value, service quality and business competitive advantages of FBSS.

This study aims to extract determinants of customers' choice of dining-related services (CDS) to understand their attitudes and habits for dining-related services. Moreover, it classifies restaurant customers into several clusters based on their CDS factors and further analyzes the differences in the preferences and habits for dining-related services among various clusters.

This study extracts the CDS factors using principal component analysis and identifies construct validity of the CDS factors through the results of confirmatory factor analysis. Then, it divides the restaurant customers in Taipei City into different clusters through cluster analysis to explore the habits and preferences for dining-related services in each cluster.

The study results show that the extracted six CDS factors, including service commitment, dietary preferences, design styles, additional value, delicate information collection, and dining environments. Dietary preferences, service commitment and additional value factor are the most important CDS factors for restaurant customers in Taipei City. This study divides 1,029 restaurant customers in Taipei City into three clusters based on the CDS factors through cluster analysis. The differences in the preferences and habits for dining services among three clusters have been discussed in the context in detail. Finally, this study develops eight service strategies and determines the order of execution of the eight service strategies for each cluster of customers.

The findings will help restaurant operators segment the market, target market customers, carry out service positioning and develop marketing strategies to respond to the highly competitive restaurant market and achieve sustainable restaurant operations.

The data used in this study were based on a sample of 589 customers staying at one green hotel in New Taipei City of Taiwan. The predicted relationship was tested using the structural equation modeling and the hierarchical regression analysis.

The results indicate that green perceptual evaluation, green co-creation and green experiential memorability influence green experiential satisfaction. Green passionate love is influenced by green experiential satisfaction. Green need for cognition moderates the effect of green experiential satisfaction on green persistence intentions. Green persistence intentions are influenced by green experiential satisfaction and green passionate love.
