The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a mileage program on consumers' negative emotions and behavior when the program failed. To accomplish the purpose of this study, the failures in mileage programs were classified into three types(refusal, delay, reduced advantages) with two types of customers' commitment(affective and calculative), and an experimental design was used to verify the effect of customers' negative emotions on their negative behavior when the programs fail. A total of 600 university students in Seoul and Pusan areas were surveyed from 1st of Sept. to 30th in 2009. The result suggests that both consumers with affective commitment and those with calculative commitment felt negative emotions(regret, disappointment) when a mileage program failed. Consumers with affective commitment to a company are expected to give negative words of mouth to others. Also, consumers with calculative commitment to a company are expected to complain and give negative words of mouth to others.

본 연구는 최근 수요환경의 변화를 겪고 있는 항공사-여행사 관계를 중심으로 영향력 관계, 거래 집중화, 영향전략 등에 대하여 검토하고 있다. 항공권 판매 시장의 수요환경은 최종고객 중심으로 전환되고 있다. 이러한 환경적 변화는 항공사 유통역량 평가에 부정적인 영향을 주고 항공사의 낮아진 영향력은 여행사의 거래 집중화 경향을 감소시킬 것이라는 가설을 수립하였다. 추가하여 최종고객 중심의 수요환경 변화가 경로 구성원 상호 영향전략에 미치는 영향에 대해 가설을 수립하였다. 즉 영향력 관계가 비대칭적인 상황에서도 수요환경이 최종고객 중심으로 전개된다면 항공사의 영향전략에 대해서 여행사는 동일한 영향전략을 수행한다는 가설을 수려하였다. 그리고 항공사의 영향력과 여행사의 거래 집중화 관계에 경로 내 영향전략 유형에 따른 조절 효과를 가설화 하였다. 결과는 대체로 기대했던 가설이 채택되는 방향으로 나타났다. 그러나 비강압적 전략의 사용과 관련된 두 가지 가설은 기각되었다.

This study aims to explore and understand better how consumers' value orientation relates to consumer's intention to use and Word-of-Mouth behaviors in using Web sites. Consumers have perceptions of the shopping value they acquire during their experiences in navigating Web sites. This consumer's shopping value is considered as utilitarian shopping value, information shopping value, and hedonic shopping value. The current paper proposes that value orientation of consumers in Web sites would consequently affect consumer attitude such as intention to use and Word-of-Mouth. In addition, the research investigates the moderating effect of consumer's personality between consumer's shopping value and consumers' attitude in Web sites. For testing the hypothesized research model, survey and Lisrel analysis are conducted. The findings emphasize that online providers need to focus on the perceived values most salient to consumers in order to improve their profitability. Furthermore, providers may also identify the reason why consumers perceive these values much lower when using the Web sites.

In this study, we investigated the effect on digital signage, a new outdoor advertising medium. Specifically, this research examined the differential effects of interactive digital signage and simple touch digital signage through control variables such as involvement and self-efficacy.

In addition, interactive digital signage has a more positive effect than simple touch digital signage when involvement is self-efficacy is high. However, the effect of the digital signage types was not significant when the self-efficacy was low. Lastly, involvement did not affect the effects of digital signage types. In this study, we can help to establish a customized customer strategy that can maximize digital signage effect.
