Recently, there has been a growing trend toward private brand. Although much has been written about the determinants of attitude and purchase intention on PB, little is known about the influence of manufacturer and retailer trust on private brand purchase. This research addresses three questions:(1) what impact do manufacturer and retailer trust have on private brand purchase?(2) What is a key mediating variable in the relationship retailer between trust(on retailer/manufacture) and purchase intention?(3) Are the impacts of these factors differ depending on the level of customer knowledge? The findings indicate that retailer trust directly influence on the perceived quality, attitude toward private brand, and purchase intention. Manufacturer trust affects on attitude and purchase intention, however, only when it is through perceived quality. In addition, the relative impact of theses two factors differs to some extent, depending on the level of consumer knowledge. When customer knowledge is relatively high, retailer trust is a very important factor influencing perceived quality, attitude and purchase intention. On the other hand, both retailer trust and manufacturer trust are considered when customer knowledge on private brand is low.

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.

본 연구의 목적은 소비자의 하이테크 제품 선택에 있어 브랜드와 제품 성능의 상대적 중요성을 결정하는데 영향을 미치는 요인들을 도출하는데 있다. 영향 요인들은 크게 제품 요인과 소비자 요인으로 분류하였는데, 제품 변수로는 제품의 평가 용이성과 제품의 혁신성을 고려하였고, 소비자 요인으로는 소비자 관여도, 소비자 지식, 소비자 혁신성을 고려하였다. 또한 제품의 쾌락성/이성성 정도와 제품의 노출 정도에 의해 4가지 제품군으로 분류하여, 제품의 유형이 변수들의 영향력에 미치는 조절적 역할을 연구하였다. 연구에 대한 주된 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 하이테크 제품 전반적으로 소비자 혁신성, 소비자 지식, 제품 평가의 용이성, 제품의 혁신성이 제품 선택에 있어서 브랜드의 중요성을 결정하는데 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다. 즉, 소비자들은 지식수준이 낮을수록, 소비자 혁신성이 낮을수록, 제품의 평가 용이성이 낮을수록, 제품의 혁신성이 낮을수록 브랜드 위주의 제품을 선택하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 제품의 쾌락성 정도에 따라서 브랜드의 상대적 중요도에 영향을 미치는 변수들이 달라지는데, 쾌락재의 경우에는 소비자 혁신성을 제외한 모든 변수가 브랜드의 상대적 중요도에 영향을 미치나, 실용재의 경우에는 제품 평가의 용이성과 제품 혁신성, 그리고 소비자 혁신성이 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다. 셋째, 제품의 노출 정도에 따라서 공공재의 경우에는 소비자 혁신성, 제품 평가 용이성, 제품 혁신성이 유의한 변수로 나타났고, 개인재의 경우에는 소비자 지식과 제품 평가 용이성이 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다.가치가 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 소비자의 금전효용가치는 PB제품의 선호도와는 직접적인 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났으며, PB제품구매의 지각적 가치가 PB제품 선호도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 경제성을 추구하는 소비자라 하더라도 PB제품의 지각적 품질수준 여하에 따라 PB제품의 판매가치가 크다고 지각될 때에만 PB제품을 선호하는 것으로 풀이할 수 있다. 본 연구는 최근에 큰 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 PH의 연구자와 유통업계 실무자들에게 유익한 전략적 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 지자체가 대형유통점에 대한 규제를 강화하는 것이다. 먼저, 대형유통점의 불공정거래행위에 대한 감시감독과 처벌을 강화하는 것은 당연한 것이다. 그러나 정부가 아닌 지자체가 이를 주도하기는 사실 어려움이 있다. 그리고 대형유통점이 영업행위를 영업시간제한에서부터 출점제한에 이르기까지 규제하는 건은 심사숙고하여야 한다. 대형유통점이 국가경제 및 지역사회에 미치는 영향이 부정적인가 긍정적인가에 대해 국내외 학계와 업계에서 여전히 많은 논란이 있기 때문이다. 정부와 지자체에 의한 시장개입은 반드시 필요한 경우에 한해 합당한 방법에 의해 이루어져야 한다. 대형유통점에 대한 규제는 지역사회에 미치는 영향을 다면적으로 평가한 결과에 근거하여 이루어져야 할 것이다. 대부분의 지자체는 체계적인 평가시스템과 객관적인 통계 자료를 갖고 있지 못한 실정이다. 향후 가장 시급한 과제는 시장개방 이후 지난 10년간 대형유통점이 지역사회에 미친 영향에 관한 광범위한 통계자료를 수

Emotional associations formed in the relationships between the consumer and luxury brands can be approached via examining the roles these associations play when they account for the brand equity of the luxury brands. The present study is an exploratory examination on the effects a battery of emotional relationships exert upon the consumers' intention to participate in promotional activities and in communities built around the brand, which is a crucial part of the luxury brand's equity, in regards to Korea's burgeoning import auto market. Participants who completed the survey are professionals such as medical doctors, lawyers, accountants, and university professors. Included in the analyses are the top six automobile brands in sales(i.e., BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Audi, and Volkswagen), and the scores that the respondents provided regarding the way they relate themselves to particular foreign car brands are analyzed and yield six different groups of emotional associations(i.e., affection, identification, indispensability, reliability, intimacy, and awe). The brand equity is measured with three variables that show the levels of the consumer's participatory intentions toward each brand are analyzed in order to elicit the antecedent variables and their impact on the participation variables in the regression models. When the respondents are divided into two groups by the levels of brand knowledge(i.e., scores drawn from the respondent's capability of correctly linking specific automobile brands with the corresponding corporate brands), consumers with higher brand knowledge show distinct patterns of influential variables, as they differentiate themselves from less knowledgeable consumers in terms of the influential antecedent variables accounting for the consumer's intended participation.
