일반적으로, 소비자는 담배를 구매하기 전 디자인, 색상, 상표명 등을 평가하고, 피우기 전에는 포장된 필름의 찢김성, 필터부위의 오염여부 등의 외관과 외향을 감지하게 되며, 마지막으로 흡연하면서 담배의 다양한 향과 맛의 관능적 특성을 평가한다. 담배의 본질적인 특징은 물리 화학적인 측정기기를 이용한 이화학적 데이터와 사람의 오감을 이용해 감지한 향미특성을 종합함으로써 분석 할 수 있다. 이들 특성이 소비자 기호 선호도에 미치는 영향요인을 도출하여 소비자가 원하는 제품을 개발(Carter & Riskey, 1990)하는 데 중요한 연결고리를 관능평가를 통해 얻을 수 있다. 미국 Institute of Food Technologists(IFT)에서는 관능평가를 '식품과 물질의 특성이 시각, 후각, 미각, 촉각 및 청각으로 감지되는 반응을 측정, 분석 및 해석하는 과학의 한 분야'로 정의하고 있다(IFT Sensory Evaluation Division, 1981).

Owing to the rapid increase of the number of automobiles, the traffic is being heavily crippled as time goes by. To provide drivers with better safety and convenience, a variety of CNSs(Car Navigation System) are being installed more and more specially for the vehicles which are produced in recent days. As the CNS has gained the public popularity, it has been playing a role as a component of the multimedia system in a vehicle in addition to providing the capability of route guidance service. It is, therefore, now recognized as an important unit of the vehicle interior system. As the situation has been changed as formerly described, it is necessary that not only the functions but also the usability and exterior features are to be designed to suit customers' tastes. This paper is an attempt to find out what the major sensibility factors which customers want as far as a CNS is concerned are. Because these factors can differ from a vehicle type to another that customers prefer, the analysis is based on the vehicle preference. It is proved that MDS(Multi Dimensional Scaling) is an effective method to analyze the sensibility factors for the different types of vehicles. The result shows that for the people who prefer the sedan-type vehicles, luxuriousness, harmoniousness, and texture are major factors. For people who like sports car, faminism, salience, and dynamics are major factors. For people who prefer SUV's(Sports Utility Vehicle) or MPV's(Multi Purpose Vehicle), solidity, dynamics, and convenience are important.

가전제품들의 제조기술과 기능 및 성능 등의 개선을 주도하뎐 국내 기술수준은 포화되어 발전 속도의 둔화가 가속화되므로, 경쟁력이 강화된 제품으 개발과 다양한 소비자들의 요구를 만족시키는 제품의 개발을 위하여 사용자 중심의 제품을 개발하기 위한 노력은 인간의 감성요소를 이해하고 응용하기 위한 활발한 연구로 나타나고 있는 추세이다.$^{1)}$ 사용자의 감성 연구에서 심리학적, 미학적 접근방법의 적용은 사용자의 감성을 더욱 본질적으로 이해하기 위한 하나의 방법이다. 인구통계학적, 사회경제적, 심리적 측면에 의한 개인차와 환경적 요소들의 영향에 따른 사용자의 요구들에 대한 충족여부가 취미와 가치판단의 변인으로써 작용하고, 그 취미와 가치판단은 구매행위 등의 행동특성으로 나타난다. 따라서 취미와 가치판단의 기준이되는 요소와 변인들은 행동특성을 야기시키는 요인들이 되므로 본 연구에서는 사용자의 요구를 만족시켜 경쟁력이 강화도니 제품의 개발을 위하여 소비자들의 감성과 미적 판단이 상품의 구매를 위한 의사 결정에 미치는 영향과 제품에 대한 가치판단에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 결과의 분석에 의하면 소비자의 취미돠 미적판단 기준은 내면적요소와 외부환경적요소로 구분되며 재면적 요소는 감성분류와 성격분류에 의해 분석할 수 있으며, 내면적 요소가 제품의 선호도에 영향을 미치므로 제품의 제품선택의 변인이되며, 제품에 대한 형용사적 표현은 소비자와 디자이너의 양질의통신수단임을 입증하였다.

The purpose of this study is to provide the fundamental data needed in analyzing customer needs and understanding products in developing designs, to help designers to have better understanding of digital camera products, and to support the setting of concepts in developing designs, by understanding the specific properties of products that have specific purposes. In this study, homogeneity analysis was performed to the collected products launched from 2000 until now and representative products were selected to extract the questions on the adjectives and preferences felt form such products. Based on the questions, basic questionnaire survey and subject image analysis was performed in relation to the elements of images preferred by customers through the regression analysis of dependent variables and preferences and the regression analysis of purchasing power. When we design for digital camera, we must consider about the elements of digital cameras and the terms convenient, sensitive, functional, and grace. In terms of whole trend of shape, the shape highlighting grips and the digital cameras having grips, large LCD, dark colors, and manual buttons were preferred.

Content services on the Internet is getting attention as a new business model, selling digital content in real-time on the web. However, most of these content-based business is based on advertisement model rather than direct-payment-based business model. One of the difficulty in setting up charge-based content service is that the pricing paradigm of digital content is different from traditional pricing of products or services. The objective of this study is to empirically derive the feasible price response functions for these content services. Based on conjoint analysis of popular attributes of digital content, several price response function models were fitted against the conjoint data, using online movie viewers' preferences for different attributes of the service. Fitted function models were linear, multiplicative, exponential, attraction, and Gutenberg models. attraction model was found to be well-fit with the data for several specific combinations of attributes. Implications for pricing strategy is discussed at the end.
