화장품은 그 어떤 제품보다도 소비자가 사용 시 느끼는 관능특성 및 그에 대한 만족도가 중요한 제품이다. 자연스러우면서도 가벼운 메이컵이 유행함에 따라 페이스 파우더를 사용하는 소비자의 비중이 높아지고 그에 따라 다양한 관능특성을 가진 페이스 파우더들이 개발되고 있다. 사전 조사에 따르면 페이스 파우더 사용자들의 사용이유는 자연스러운 화장 및 가벼운 화장, 화사해 보임(블루밍 효과) 등이 주를 이루며 페이스 파우더 사용 시에 주요하게 느끼는 관능특성으로는 파우더 입자에 관한 사항과 화장상태에 관한 사항이 동시에 고려되는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 평상시에 페이스파우더를 주로 사용하는 여성들을 대상으로 다양한 페이스파우더들을 실제 화장단계에 따라 사용하면서 인지되는 페이스 파우더의 관능특성들을 도출하게 한 결과 중 19가지 관능특성 평가 용어가 도출되었으며 이 용어들은 다시 입자 및 도포 요인/촉촉함 및 매트함 요인/색상 및 블루밍 요인의 세가지 요인으로 분류되었다. 이러한 페이스파우더의 주요 관능특징요인과 소비자들이 중요하게 생각하는 관능특성을 적절히 조합하여 각각의 소비자군들이 선호하는 관능속성의 제품을 설계하고 평가할 수 있는 평가방법을 개발하였고 주후 제품개발에 활용하고자 한다.

소비자의 행동이론은 경영학의 주된 관심사이다. 소비자의 소비 행동패턴 이론은 소비자의 합리적 소비에 근거한 선호도로써, 선택의 문제를 주요한 연구대상으로 삼고 있다. 하지만 본 모델링은 소비자의 선택을 선호의 문제로 취급하는 기호에 의존하기 보다는, 상권의 측정가능한 크기에 의존하는 수동적 의미의 소비패턴을 산정하게 된다. 단순한 몇 가지 가정을 기반으로 하여 상권이 미치는 영향력을 상권의 거리와 상권의 크기로만 한정할 경우, 최적 경로에 따른 합리적인 소비함수 모델링을 만들 수있다. 상권의 거리 및 상권의 크기로 상권의 범위를 제한 할 경우, 물리학 분야인 전기자기학 중에서 쿨롱의 법칙으로부터 유도된 전기장의 개념을 도입하여 상권의 의미를 재해석할 수 있다. 향후 본 모델링에 대한 소비자 행동패턴의 실질적인 검증 및 추가 도입변수 및 에러항을 도입한 일반적인 모델링으로 발전시킬 수 있고, 그 또한 추가 연구주제가 될 수 있다.

Although a existing consumer market have been studied in depth in the new technology product market, the market research on the overall level of value chain to consist of consumers, distributors, and manufacturers is weak. Therefore, in this paper consumers' purchase of new technology products were simulated and analyzed by a consumer selection model and a multi-agent model, which consist of consumers, distributors and manufacturers. Our research was focused on customer preference study in new technology product market by using conjoint analysis and discrete choice model. And changes in consumer behavior based on adoption of new technologies and offering of incentives were analyzed by ABM (Agent-based Model). In conclusion, the market share of technology products was risen when provision of incentives corresponding to inventory level and demand for new technology products occurred at the same time.

Cosmetics brands are increasingly offering "multi-purpose" products that serve multiple functions at once, such as an eye cream that could also be used as a lip moisturizer. Yet, there is little research on consumers' perceptions of multi-purpose products and the brands that offer these products. This research examines the impact of consumers' own theory of beauty. We find that endorsing a strong incremental (vs. entity) theory of beauty (i.e., believing that one's beauty is changeable through one's effort rather than innate and unchangeable) reduces consumers' preferences for multi-purpose products, particularly among those who are highly appearance oriented. These consumers' reduced evaluation of multi-purpose products also spills over to their overall brand evaluation. The findings suggest that brand managers should consider consumers' implicit theory of beauty and product preferences when managing product knowledge.

This study investigated the effects of 'K-POP' preference on purchase intention of Korean products. Especially, it revealed the mediating role between the participation intention of Korean culture event and the purchase intention of Korean products. Further, we examined the difference in the path relation according to the use-behavior of Korean wave contents. In this proposed model, we can see 'K-POP' preference had a positive effect on participation intention of Korean culture event, but it was not significant for purchase intention of common products. The participation in Korean culture event had significant effects on the purchase intention of Korean culture products and the purchase intention of common products. However, the purchase intention of Korean culture products had no significant effects on the purchase intention of common products. Thus, our finding showed that higher preference of 'K-POP' did not make cause purchase intention of common products. Further, the higher the preference of 'K-POP' was, the higher the participation intension of Korean culture event was and, as a result, the purchase intention of common products got higher. In addition, path analysis results according to the media usage behaviors show that Chinese consumer who uses the internet and has a higher preference of 'K-POP' had a positive effect on the purchase intention of common products. Furthermore, it has a positive effect on both purchase intension of Korean culture products and purchase intension of common products. In case of Chinese consumer who use the television, radio and newspapers, K-POP preference had no significant effect on the purchase intension of common products.

Consumer interest in food nutrition continues to grow; however, research on consumer preferences related to nutrition remains limited. In this study, big data analysis was conducted using keyword logs collected from the national information service, the Korean Food Composition Database (K-FCDB), to determine consumer preferences for foods of nutritional interest. The data collection period was set from January 2020 to December 2022, covering a total of 2,243,168 food name keywords searched by K-FCDB users. Food names were processed by merging them into representative food names. The search frequency of food names was analyzed for the entire period and by season using R. In the frequency analysis for the entire period, steamed rice, chicken, and egg were found to be the most frequently consumed foods by Koreans. Seasonal preference analysis revealed that in the spring and summer, foods without broth and cold dishes were consumed frequently, whereas in fall and winter, foods with broth and warm dishes were more popular. Additionally, foods sold by restaurants as seasonal items, such as Naengmyeon and Kongguksu, also exhibited seasonal variations in frequency. These results provide insights into consumer interest patterns in the nutritional information of commonly consumed foods and are expected to serve as fundamental data for formulating seasonal marketing strategies in the restaurant industry, given their indirect relevance to consumer trends.

The object of this research is to analyze and classify the dining-out behavior and preference on Korean food by age groups and to make counter proposals for better marketing and planning strategies. Major dining out motives were lack of time, the easiness of preparation, and schedule. For lunch, the schedule was the major dining-out motive. For dinner, the respondents in their 30s and below answered social gathering was their major dining-out motive (40.7% and 31.3% respectively). On the other hand, for the respondents in their 40s and 50s, the family gathering was the major dining motive (50.4% and 55.3% respectively) (${\chi}^{2}=68.081,\;p<0.001$). For dining out frequency, 1-2 dining out per a week had the highest percentage, among which the respondents in their 30s was 42.9% (the highest) and the respondents in their 50s was 18% (the lowest). For the dining-out cost, the respondents in their 30s and below spent more on dinner rather than breakfast or lunch. For the menu preference of Korean foods, Doenjangjigae had the highest percentage. In case of Kimchi, the respondents in their 40s showed higher preference than the respondents in their 30s. Interestingly, the preference for Kimchi was higher in the respondents younger than 30 rather than in the respondents in their 30s. and the respondents older than 40 (p<0.05). Preference for Jangachi was considerably low in the respondents younger than 40, which implies that younger people don't incline to traditional Korean Mitbanchan. The dining-out motive was different in each age group. Now, the dining out motive is not restricted to home meal replacement. Social gatherings are increasing and the consumers of dining-out industry are being diversified. These suggest the increased need for classifying and analyzing the consumers by age groups to get more information on consumer behavior and tastes.
