This study investigated emotional-utilitarian motivation to visit a coffee shop and segmented the market based on motivational factors realizing that coffee is considered as emotional and utilitarian goods in reality. As a result of market segmentation, three groups were identified: emotional consumers, utilitarian consumers, and passive consumers. Choice attributes of visiting a coffee shop according to each group were found to be significantly different. Firstly, emotional consumers highly perceived the importance of the emotional factors such as 'coffee taste and mood', 'special coffee', 'clean space' and also the utilitarian factors such 'price benefit', 'internet access,' etc. Therefore, emotional consumers could be utilitarian one at the same time. On the other hand, utilitarian consumers were highly aware of the importance of 'independent space available for a group meeting', 'degrees of being crowded', and 'facilities such as a bathroom and smoking area.' As for the demographic and the behavioral factors of having coffee, only gender, types of coffee, time and places have a significant relation.

정보기술을 적용한 다양한 웨어러블 기기들이 출시되고 있지만 일부 제품군만 시장이 형성되고 있는데, 일반 소비자들이 일상적으로 사용하기 시작한 상품군은 스마트워치라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 시장형성 초기에 있는 스마트워치를 대상으로 소비자들의 개인적 특성 측면에서 제품이 채택되는 요인을 찾고자 하였다. 스마트워치는 아직 시장이 형성되어 있지 않고 스마트폰에 연동되어 사용되는 부가기기의 성격이 강하지만 그 자체로 가치를 인정받을 수 있어야 시장을 형성할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 소비자 개인 차원에서 스마트워치가 호감도를 형성하고 사용의도를 갖게 되는 구조를 파악하였다. 본 연구는 스마트워치가 시장에서 확산되는 요인을 소비자의 개인특성 측면에서 파악했다는데서 의의가 있다. 연구결과는 아직 소비자들이 사용하지 않는 스마트워치를 비롯한 웨어러블 기기에 대한 시장 전략을 수립하는데 유용한 시사점을 제공한다고 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 소비자의 일상생활 행동을 다각적이며 심층적으로 파악하기 위한 하나의 방법으로 다양한 조사방법론을 활용하였다. 본 연구는 디지털 제품 선도 소비자(lead consumer)를 대상으로 구조화된 설문조사법 이외에 심층면접(In Depth-Interview), 쉐도우 서베이(Shadow Survey), 홈비지팅(Home-Visiting) 등의 방법론을 사용하였다. 즉, 일반 소비자와 선도 소비자의 일반적 특성을 파악하기 위해 질문지를 이용한 설문조사방법과 선도 소비자의 일상생활 행동, 행동의 원인, 행동의 결과 등을 심층면접, 쉐도우(Shadow) 관찰조사 방법, 가정 생활을 관찰하기 위한 홈비지팅(Home-visiting) 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 의사소통관련 행동은 가족 및 친구를 위한 활동, 정보처리관련 행동은 사회(3차집단)을 위한 활동, 엔터테이먼트 관련 행동은 개인을 위한 활동 목적이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 추후 연구는 상황(Situation)-차이(Gap)-사용(Use)이라는 Sense-Making Theory로 활용되어지며, 이러한 결과는 신상품 컨셉 개발을 위해 활용되어질 것이다. 그러나 본 연구는 견고한 이론적 틀 보다는 목적 지향적이며 실천 지향적 성격이 강하다. 따라서 추후 연구들은 체계적이며, 다학제적인 연구를 통해 조사방법의 체계를 다져야 할 것이다.

현재 석유류에는 주행세 성격의 교통세가 부과되고 있으며, 정부의 고유가정책에 따라 휘발유 소비자 가격중 세금비중도 74%에 이르고 있으므로 별도의 주행세 도입은 현실적으로 여지가 없다.

The purpose of this study is to provide implications for LOHAS(Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability) consumption growth. The study investigated the relationships between shopping value, LOHAS consciousness and LOHAS consumption. The finding of this study revealed that both hedonic and utilitarian shopping values had a positive effect on LOHAS consciousness and LOHAS consumption. We also found that the representative hedonic and utilitarian products(electronics) had the positive relationship between the both hedonic and utilitarian shopping values and LOHAS consumption. Furthermore, the representative hedonic LOHAS products(cosmetics) showed a positive relationship between hedonic shopping values and LOHAS consumption. However the representative utilitarian LOHAS product(detergent) did not show a relationship between utilitarian shopping values and LOHAS consumption. These findings are expected to provide marketing implications for LOHAS consumption growth. To improve consumers' LOHAS consumption, it is essential to focus on strengthening the hedonic value of the consumers, highlighting LOHAS consciousness. LOHAS consumption may improve the pride of consumers and increase the pleasure of the consumers. Additionally, it is necessary that publicity and education justify consumer behavior such that LOHAS consumption is socially responsible and it is a mature and exemplary action of citizens obligations to society.

The increased national utilization of Bitcoin results in multiple complications. Therefore, there are continuous debates on the subject, the main point being how to characterize Bitcoin's asset nature. The following study bases, focusing on the function value, justifies Bitcoin's asset characterization. Using regression analysis to construct relations between gold and indexes such as CPI, DXY, and S&P500 as well as the relation between Bitcoin and the previously mentioned indexes, the question of whether gold and Bitcoin reacted in a similar fashion to the same indicators was examined. The results conclude that Bitcoin has similarities with gold, showing that it is risk averse and an investable commodity in lieu to profitability when it comes to inflation and currency value. When considered with price volatility, the main force behind the function of investment asset, categorizing Bitcoin as a high-risk financial investment asset rather than as a currency within the system would be more effective for management.

The result from exploring the differences in the recognition of game world showed Lineage garners regarded Lineage world as another living space or a part of real world they can explore and express psychological need and self-identity or self-image and live through diverse activities. But EverQuest garners regarded EverQuest as a product for experience of fantasy world. The result from comparing the game consuming behaviors showed that different recognition of game world made the differences in the game consuming behavior. The results of the present study supported that the recognition of consumers about digital images or content poducts like online game can be different by the value and experience of consumer, and the different recognition make the different consuming behavior of similar or same products. The results supported that the meaning and value of digital images or digital content are endowed by consumers.

The current study analyzed the relationship between expression type of humor ads and their advertising effects and the differences in advertising effects by expression type according to temperament as categorized by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Expression type of humor was classified into arousal-, incongruity-, and superiority-type humor ads. Advertising effects were measured by consumers' cognitive, affective, and conative responses. Three ads were created based on expression type of humor. A personality type, as measured by the MBTI, was categorized into four types of temperament, namely SP, SJ, NF, NT and used as moderating variables. As a result, the advertising effects varied according to the expression type of humor advertising. Interaction effects between ad expression type and temperament on ad feeling and ad preference were also found.
