This study is to analyze the differences of consumer preferences between the terrestrial DMB and satellite DMB in various segment groups by using survey data. We categorized the consumers by the DMB preference patterns into four groups, i.e., non users group, terrestrial only users group, satellite only users group, dual users group. And then we analyzed the differences among these four segment groups in demographic characteristics, behavior patterns on telecommunication and broadcasting services, life-style, attitudes to DMB services.

The success of a product is only possible on the basis of user preference for products and the user preference for products is greatly influenced by the design. Designers have to understand user preference and convert it into the combination of specified design attribute, and after that they should design products which have the image that they want to get. Then the product will be sure to be a hit. Therefore, on the point of view of design, it is necessary to find oui definitely the consumer preference frame : the relationship among design preference - design images - design attribute. This study will give you guidelines on which designers can select and design some more objective and reliable design factors, finding out the relation of cause and effect by which they can know what kind of product designs their consumers like and how the popular image which that products offer is composed of. Therefore, in this study, after we developed the consumer response framework which is proposed by Bloch(1995) : distinct relationship model among preference - design image adjective - design factors, we analyzed the relationship among preference-design image adjective - design factors through the empirical researches. And then we give the way of design.

소비자는 상품을 구매하는 데 있어 기능이나 성능이 '우수하다', 값이 '싸다', '비싸다'가 아닌 선호의 관점에서 의사결정을 하고 있다. 소비자의 선호와 취향을 전략화한다는 것은 단순히 무엇을 만들 것인가를 떠나 어떤 이미지론 전달하는 상품을 만들 것인가 혹은 어떤 이미지로 소비자의 감성을 파고들것인가 하는 문제를 바탕으로 하게 된다. (중략)

The purpose of this study is to provide the design direction based on consumer sensitivity through the structure between product design preferences - sensitivity image - design elements. For the purpose, we selected men's shaver products for this study subject and collected 164 shavers' pictures released between 2001-2007 years. Then, we carried out a pilot test for collection of sensitivity images about shavers, made a survey using semantic differential method and analyzed the survey. According the result, consumers preferred the sensitivity images "luxury, attractive, stable", design elements satisfied the preference images were "form of body is not a circular arcs or a polygon, material is steel, button is push style, and a color of body is not brown." This study can provide a base of the causal relationship between design preferences - sensitivity image - design elements and a design process to predict consumer sensitivity-oriented design.

본 연구는 글로벌 시장에서 소비자들에게 주요 제품평가단서로서 이용되고 있는 브랜드, 가격, 물리적 특징, 판매점과 관련된 정보내용(합의정보와 속성정보)에 대하여 소비자의 문화적 지향성이 정보탐색원천과 정보탐색 유형별로 어떻게 작용하는가를 한국과 중국의 소비자들을 대상으로 탐색해 보았다. 연구 결과 양 국가에서 공통적으로 발견된 내용은 개인주의 성향을 가진 소비자들은 타인의 태도가 반영되지 않고 소비자들에게 스스로 판단하도록 하는 속성정보를 더 선호하였으며, 반면에 집단주의 성향을 가진 소비자들은 타인의 태도가 반영된 합의정보를 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 개인주의 성향을 가진 소비자들은 비인적 정보원천에서 속성정보를, 반면 집단주의 성향을 가진 소비자들은 인적정보원천에서 합의정보를 주로 더 이용하였고, 정보탐색 유형에서는 지속적 탐색보다 구매전 탐색에서 합의정보와 속성정보를 더 많이 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 양 국가의 비교문화적 관점에서 차별적 결과도 제시되었는데, 개인주의 성향을 가진 한국 소비자들은 속성정보와 더불어 합의성 정보도 병행하여 이용하였으나 중국 소비자들은 주로 비인적 정보원천을 활용한 속성정보를 주로 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 집단주의 성향을 가진 한국 소비자들은 주로 판매원을 통한 합의정보를 선호하였으나 중국 소비자들은 판매원과 더불어 친구나 동료의 구전정보도 평상시에 많이 탐색하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 글로벌 시장을 공략하려는 국제 마케터들은 공통된 결과들을 바탕으로 한 표준화된 마케팅단서의 활용과 더불어 양 국가간의 문화적 차이에 기초한 차별적인 마케팅 믹스도 동시에 수행해야 할 필요성을 제기하고 있다.

The design in modern industrial society is the core of corporate administrational strategy and a factor that determines the competitiveness of a country. And the process of purchasing products is the matter related to the awareness of design which expresses the desire to own the design product that consumers prefer, implying that the aesthetic feature of product has become a critical characteristics of product design rather than the technical function of product. In this regard, the development of product design with a new dimension is urgently called for, by analyzing and shedding light on the aesthetic features of factors related to the preference of consumers. This study considers the preceding studies on the aesthetic factors and the reaction of customers to the product design to figure out the importance of factors related to the preference of customers, in an effort to shed light on the aesthetic factors that affect the customers' preference of product and the evaluation of product. In addition to that, this study investigated the preference that Korean and Chinese customers display toward the product and assessed the aesthetic features of preferred product in order to come to the conclusion from the experiment and analysis on how much effect the aesthetic factors and the aesthetic factors by product have on the preference of customers. Therefore, this study tries to propose the data that can be useful for the design of product targeted for consumers in Korea and China, by shedding light on what aesthetic factors that products preferred by consumers in Korea and China have and how much effect such factors have on the preference of consumers in an attempt to provide the guideline on the aesthetic factors of the product design.

장류는 전통적으로 가정에서 만들어 먹던 식품이었으나 여성의 사회참여가 높아짐에 따라 편의성을 추구하면서 시판제품으로 대체되는 경향이다. 따라서 장류에 대한 소비자의 선호경향을 조사하여 상품화를 위한 기초자료로 제공하고자 한다. 전통장류의 소비자 선호 경향을 파악하기 위하여 가계 소비지출을 담당하는 20∼50대의 기혼여성 1,500명을 대상으로 2003.6.16∼7.15까지 인터넷조사 전문업체에 조사를 의뢰, 이메일 리쿠르팅 방법으로 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였다. (중략)

디자인에 관련된 대부분의 사람들은 제품 심미성이 소비자 선호에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 부인하지 않는다. 따라서 디자인 분야에 있어서 제품 심미성에 관한 연구는 아주 중요한 의미를 지니고 있는데, 그것은 제품 심미성에 관한 연구가 제품의 심미적 요소 평가에 대한 지침을 제공해주고 또한 제품 심미성이 소비자 선호에 어떻게 영향을 주는지에 대한 통찰력을 제공해주기 때문이다. 나름대로 지대한 공헌들이 있었지만 제품 심미성을 어떻게 평가하고 그것들이 소비자 선호에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 설명할 수 있는 이론들은 아직 형성단계에 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 제품의 어떤 측면들이 소비자들로 하여금 선호할 수 있는 것으로 고려되는 지를 체계적으로 설명할 수 있는 프레임 ？을 제공하는 것이다.

Recently, extreme weather due to climate change has become more frequent, and increase of fine dust has worsen air quality in Korea. Therefore, not only negative perception on coal-fired power generation is dominant, but also the social acceptance of nuclear power generation declines. This study aims at deriving consumer preferences on the mid and long term power mix with various energy sources. Willingness to pay for each generation source was estimated and the preference heterogeneity of consumers was examined by using mixed logit and latent class models. Mixed logit estimation results show that the preference heterogeneity of consumers is especially large for the nuclear power relative to renewable or coal energy. According to the estimation results from the latent class model, group 1 prefers renewable energy while group 2 prefers coal energy. Group 3 shows lexicographic preference which means restricted rationality. As for the policy implication, it is necessary to understand the preference heterogeneity of consumer groups in planning the mid to long term power mix.

In this study, Author supposed that consumer preferences for domestic cosmetics may be different depending on the level of social support and advice & inducement from people around them, and analyzed whether these variables have mediating effects in the impact relationship between cosmetic-related factors and consumer preferences. For data collection, a questionnaire was conducted on women under 40 years of age living in the metropolitan area and analyzed through AMOS8 structural equation modeling. As a result of the analysis, it was found that advice & inducement had a very significant mediating effect on the consumer preference for domestic cosmetics, but social support did not have a mediating effect. Therefore, in order to increase the consumer preference for domestic cosmetics, it is necessary to find a way to activate the advice & inducement of the people.
