Abstract

Exhibitions have played a key role of effective marketing activity which directly informs services and products to current and potential customers. Through participating in exhibitions, exhibitors have got the opportunity to make face-to-face contact so that they can secure the market share and improve their corporate images. According to this economic importance of exhibitions, show organizers try to adopt a new IT technology for improving their performance, and researchers have also studied services which can improve the satisfaction of visitors through analyzing visit patterns of visitors. Especially, as smart technologies make them monitor activities of visitors in real-time, they have considered booth recommender systems which infer preference of visitors and recommender proper service to them like on-line environment. However, while there are many studies which can improve their performance in the side of new technological development, they have not considered the choice factor of visitors for booth recommender systems. That is, studies for factors which can influence the development direction and effective diffusion of these systems are insufficient. Most of prior studies for the acceptance of new technologies and the continuous intention of use have adopted Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Extended Technology Acceptance Model (ETAM). Booth recommender systems may not be new technology because they are similar with commercial recommender systems such as book recommender systems, in the smart exhibition environment, they can be considered new technology. However, for considering the smart exhibition environment beyond TAM, measurements for the intention of reuse should focus on how booth recommender systems can provide correct information to visitors. In this study, through literature reviews, we draw factors which can influence the satisfaction and reuse intention of visitors for booth recommender systems, and design a model to forecast adaptation of visitors for booth recommendation in the exhibition environment. For these purposes, we conduct a survey for visitors who attended DMC Culture Open in November 2011 and experienced booth recommender systems using own smart phone, and examine hypothesis by regression analysis. As a result, factors which can influence the satisfaction of visitors for booth recommender systems are the effectiveness, perceived ease of use, argument quality, serendipity, and so on. Moreover, the satisfaction for booth recommender systems has a positive relationship with the development of reuse intention. For these results, we have some insights for booth recommender systems in the smart exhibition environment. First, this study gives shape to important factors which are considered when they establish strategies which induce visitors to consistently use booth recommender systems. Recently, although show organizers try to improve their performances using new IT technologies, their visitors have not felt the satisfaction from these efforts. At this point, this study can help them to provide services which can improve the satisfaction of visitors and make them last relationship with visitors. On the other hands, this study suggests that they managers along the using time of booth recommender systems. For example, in the early stage of the adoption, they should focus on the argument quality, perceived ease of use, and serendipity, so that improve the acceptance of booth recommender systems. After these stages, they should bridge the differences between expectation and perception for booth recommender systems, and lead continuous uses of visitors. However, this study has some limitations. We only use four factors which can influence the satisfaction of visitors. Therefore, we should development our model to consider important additional factors. And the exhibition in our experiments has small number of booths so that visitors may not need to booth recommender systems. In the future study, we will conduct experiments in the exhibition environment which has a larger scale.

전시회는 새로운 상품이나 서비스를 현재 고객들과 미래의 잠재고객들에게 홍보하기 위해 개최하는 효과적인 마케팅 수단으로 중요하다. 기업들은 전시회에 참여를 통해 현재 고객 및 잠재고객들과 대면접촉을 함으로써 기업의 이미지 제고 및 새로운 판로를 확보할 수 있다. 이처럼 전시회의 경제적 중요성이 커짐에 따라, 전시주최자들은 참여기업 및 참관객을 유치하기 위하여 새로운 IT 기술을 전시회에 적용하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 연구자들 또한 참관객의 관람패턴을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 연구를 시도하고 있다. 최근에는 스마트 기술이 발전함으로써 전시 공간 내에서 참관객의 활동을 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있어 온라인 전시환경처럼 오프라인 전시회를 방문한 참관객의니즈를 실시간으로 추론하여 참관객의 선호에 적합한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 부스 추천시스템에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 새로운 기술 개발 측면에서 시스템의 성능을 개선하려는 연구는 지속적으로 진행되어 왔으나 향후 시스템의 개발 방향 및 보급 활성화에 영향을 미치는 요인에 관한 연구들이 부족한 실정이다. 부스 추천시스템은 스마트 전시환경에서 새로 도입되는 기술로 부스 추천시스템에 대한 참관객의 수용 후 재사용 의도는 TAM 관점보다는 부스 추천시스템이 참관객의 선호에 적합한 추천정보를 제공하는가에 초점을 맞출 필요가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존 문헌 고찰을 통해 전시환경에서의 부스 추천시스템에 대한 참관객의 만족 및 재사용 의도에 영향을 주는 요인을 도출하여 연구모형을 설계하였다. 이를 통해 향후 스마트 전시환경에서 부스 추천시스템의 개발과 보급 전략에 있어 유용한 시사점을 제공하고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 2011년 11월 DMC 컬처 오픈 행사에서 부스 추천시스템을 사용한 참관객을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 회귀분석을 통해 가설을 검증하였다. 그 결과, 참관객의 만족에 영향을 미치는 요인은 부스 추천시스템의 효과성, 편의성, 추천품질, 의외성으로 나타났다. 또한, 부스 추천시스템에 대한 참관객의 만족은 재사용 의도 형성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구가 가지는 의의는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 본 연구결과를 토대로 스마트 전시환경에서 부스 추천시스템에 대한 참관객의 지속적인 서비스 이용을 유도하기 위한 전략을 수립할 때 고려해야 할 주요한 요인을 실증연구를 통해 구체화시켰다는데 의의가 있다. 또한, 스마트 전시환경에서 부스 추천시스템이 성공적으로 도입 및 활용되기 위해서는 참관객의 수용 전후 차별화된 관리가 필요함을 본 연구결과를 통해 제시하였다.
