Different from earlier studies which investigated Chinese market from the perspective of macro strategy, this study compares importance of marketing-mix between Korean and Chinese consumers from that of basic marketing. As elements of marketing-mix for the comparison, product quality, brand, product price, atmosphere of a shopping store, advertising, and price discount are selected. The survey research was conducted to test hypotheses in major Korea and Chinese cities, Seoul, Pusan, Beijing, and Shanghai, from Jan. to Feb. 2010. A total of 315 respondents born in 1980s were interviewed individually by well-trained Chinese and Korean research assistants. Results show that the importance of the product price is higher among Chinese while the importances of the brand and the advertising are higher among Korean. It is also found that the product quality is evaluated more importantly among Chinese while the atmosphere of the shopping store is among Korean within .1 significance level. The mean difference of the importance of the price discount between both countries' consumers is not found statistically.

With the expansion of EC and the development of culture industry, Web-site shopping of cultural products have become recognized as one of the major purchasing channels for customers, as well as one of the competitive distribution channels for film distributors or theater group. The research is to investigate the impact of information quality and user interface quality on information service satisfaction and online purchasing intention of cultural products. The results of this study are as follows: 1) Both information quality and interface quality have meaningful influence on information service satisfaction and purchase intention. 2) Information service satisfaction gives significant impact on online purchasing intention irrespective of the level of customer involvement. 3) Information quality has a meaningful influence on online purchasing intention in case of high level of customer involvement, while interface quality gives strong impact on online purchasing intention in case of low level of consumer involvement. In conclusion, there is a need to consider the level of customer involvement for building a successful marketing strategy of online purchase sites of cultural products.

The competition for telecommunication-broadcasting bundle is under full steam. Even large mobile OS companies like Apple and Google are showing signs of moving into the telecom and broadcasting industry, and it is expected that competition for bundle will become even fiercer. In the light of this situation, this study will show which factors can heighten purchasing intention for bundle and lower expected-discounting rates, seeking its answer in the quality, satisfaction, and brand loyalty to core product. The results of the study show that the brand loyalty to core product affects the customer's purchasing intention positively while lowering expected-discounting rates. This conclusion suggests the importance of a marketing strategy that heightens satisfaction of existing customers who use a single item, which is just as important as strategies to induce switching behavior of the customers of other companies through competitive pricing. Also, the results suggest that rather than appeal to loyal customers through discounts, it is more effective to offer them different benefits or value.

This study aims to explore the effect of quality factors and customer involvement on users' intention to purchase in the live-commerce context. For this purpose, statistical methods such as reliability test, factor analysis, ANOVA, regression analysis were carried out using the survey data from live-commerce users. The quality factors of live-commerce were classified into contents, system, service, and show host characteristics, and customer involvement was analyzed by dividing it into product involvement and service involvement. The results showed that each quality factor of live-commerce had a significant positive effect on the intention to purchase. On the other hand, customer product involvement had a significant moderating effect on content and system quality, service involvement had a significant moderating effect on service and show host characteristics. The degree of each quality factor on intention to purchase was higher as customer involvement was higher. Theoretical and practical implications were drawn from these findings.

The current study aimed to explore the levels of consumers' perception for the PB apples which mainly sold in the large retailers, and then suggest the efficient marketing strategies for activating sales of the PB apples among the farm produce. The findings of the study revealed that the levels of the consumers' perception of value for the PB apples were influential on the brand credibility. In addition, the levels of the quality, perception of value, and brand credibility significantly affected the purchase intention. The image of the brand, however, did not show the effects on the brand credibility and purchase intention. Based on the study, in order to activate the brand for the local farm produce, the analysis results could suggest the four alternatives. Firstly, it is needed for the NB apples to be standardized and improved in terms of the qualities. Secondly, the more efficient ways to facilitate the purchases for the NB apples should be reconsidered in the emotional package. Thirdly, the levels of customers' perceptions for NB apples need to increase by providing them with convenient ways of purchases. Lastly, connecting consumers' groups with producers' groups could eventually enhance the brand credibility.

최근 네트워크 고도화로 유무선 통합된 협업 서비스를 고객에게 제공한다. 서비스 제공자의 다양한 네트워크 서비스 상품이 앞으로 추가 출시될 예정이며 이에 따른 서비스 품질은 매우 중요한 이슈가 될 것이다. 특히 멀티미디어 서비스는 프리미엄 서비스로 서비스 제공자는 고객에게 서비스 품질을 보증해야만 된다. 초고속 인터넷 서비스 상품으로 인터넷 전화기, 인터넷 다운 속도 등 다양한 인터넷 서비스 품질 측정을 제공하고 있으나 전용선에 대한 인터넷 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스는 서비스 품질 측정이 초기 상태이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 멀티미디어 서비스를 위한 서비스 품질 측정 지표, 종단간 서비스 품질 측정 방안, 고객에게 원활한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 에이전트 시스템 설계, 서비스 제공자가 이미 보유한 NMS/EMS에 에이전트 시스템 연동 방안을 제안한다.

많은 기업들이 급변하는 기업 환경과 고객의 요구 변화에서 생존과 지속적인 성장을 하기 위하여 신제품을 개발하고 있다. 하지만 신제품 개발을 하는데 있어 대부분의 기업들이 신제품 개발 프로세스의 후반부인 신제품 생산이나 프로토타이핑에 관심을 집중하고 있다. 이는 신제품 개발 프로젝트의 성공률을 낮추는 주요 원인으로 차후에 기술적인 문제 및 고객의 니즈의 부적합과 같은 문제를 일으키게 된다. 그래서 기업들은 과거 신제품 개발 프로세스의 문제점을 개선하기 위해 점차 신제품 개발 프로세스의 전반부인 상품기획 단계에 보다 관심을 갖게 되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 나날이 증대되고 있는 신제품 개발 프로세스의 전반부인 상품기획의 중요성에 대해 살펴보고, 이를 위하여 마케팅 단계에서 6시그마 품질 수준을 달성할 수 있는 MFSS (Marketing For Six Sigma)방법과 MFSS의 적용을 통해 과거의 신제품 개발 프로세스를 보다 효율적으로 개선하여 새로운 신제품 개발 프로세스인 MFSS Model를 제시하고자 한다.

현재 운영되고 있는 대부분의 쇼핑몰은 신상품 위주로 운영되고 있어, 학생 수요자들에게는 경제적 부담이 뒤따르며, 소비자 입장에서는 상품의 품질에 대한 신뢰성이 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 서적 및 생활용품들을 저렴한 가격에 구입할 수 있는 가상 대학 벼룩시장을 구축함으로서, 학생 수요자들에게 물품구입에 대한 경제적 부담을 줄일 뿐만 아니라, 각 대학별로 커뮤니티를 개설하여 쇼핑몰에 대한 정보 제공은 물론 회원간의 정보 교류가 가능하게 하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 구매자와 판매자가 가상 쇼핑몰에서 서로 만나 직접적인 상품거래가 가능하여 상품 품질을 확인함으로서 서로간의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있다. 또한 쇼핑몰 내에서는 회원 아이디 입력만으로도 메일을 주고받을 수 있도록 하여 상품에 대한 정보를 보다 빨리 전달 될 수 있으며, 대학 및 학과의 상호 정보교환을 하므로 기존의 쇼핑몰 보다 더욱더 많은 상거래가 활성화 될 것이다.

Postharvest quality of sweet pepper fruits was mainly defined as external appearance, i.e., shape, fruit weight and surface color. These quality traits tend to involve esthetic appeal, it disregards gustatory properties and nutritional value. However, comparative studies according to the marketability of sweet pepper fruits are insufficient. This study was carried out to compare the physicochemical components, antioxidant activity and carotenoid contents of marketable and unmarketable sweet pepper fruits (Capsicum annuum L.). Physicochemical components (proximate composition, minerals and total phenolic contents) and antioxidant activities using various methods were investigated. The proximate composition values (%) of marketable and unmarketable fruits were: moisture (90.28 and 90.29), ash (0.74 and 0.26), crude protein (0.67 and 0.72), crude lipid (0.38 and 0.32). There were no significant differences in antioxidant activity, while total phenolic content was higher in marketable fruit. Carotenoids contents were 29.3 ± 2.6 and 31.9 ± 2.9 ㎍·g^-1 in marketable and unmarketable fruits respectively, and identified β-carotene, violaxanthin, neoxanthin, and zeaxanthin. Lutein and capsaicin were not detected. In this study, potential value of unmarketable sweet pepper fruit could be identified to be applied as a food ingredient and functional food material.
