Abstract

This study intends to look into the perception gap among Korean and Chinese consumers regarding the product attitudes toward smart phones and repurchase intention as well as the user experience. First, this study showed that there are gaps among Korean and Chinese consumers, regarding smart phones, toward their experiences of usage satisfaction, usefulness, design satisfaction, and evaluation from other people and that Chinese consumers have higher awareness of every experience element concerning UI than Korean consumers. Second, concerning the difference in the product attitudes toward smart phones, it turns out that Chinese consumers also have higher awareness of it than Korean consumers. Third, regarding the difference in repurchase intention for smart phones among Korean and Chinese consumers, this study shows that Chinese consumers are likely to have more intention than Korean consumers. because their average value is higher than Korean consumers' even though the difference are not statistically significant. This study is expected to have academic meaning(significance) for providing basic materials of comparative study between two countries regarding the user experience about smart phone as well as some useful implications for the competitive power improvement of Korean smart phone related companies in China.

본 연구는 한국과 중국 소비자 간 스마트폰 사용에 있어 사용자경험에 대한 인식의 차이와 함께 제품태도 및 재구매의도에 관한 인식의 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 한 중 소비자 간 스마트폰에 대한 사용만족경험, 유용적경험, 디자인만족경험, 주변경험에서 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 중국 소비자가 한국 소비자에 비해 UI경험에 대한 모든 경험 요소를 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 스마트폰의 제품태도에 대한 차이를 알아본 결과, 중국 소비자가 한국 소비자에 비해 높게 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 한 중 소비자 간 스마트폰의 재구매의도에 대한 차이를 알아본 결과, 통계적으로 의미 있는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으나 중국 소비자의 평균값이 더 높게 나타난 것으로 볼 때, 재구매의도 또한 한국 소비자에 비해 높은 것으로 해석 할 수 있다. 본 연구결과는 중국에 진출해 있는 한국 스마트폰 관련 기업들에게 중국시장에서의 경쟁력 제고를 위한 유용한 시사점과 함께 스마트폰과 관련한 사용자경험에 대한 국가 간 비교 연구의 기초자료를 제공한다는 학술적 의의를 가질 것으로 기대한다.
