A review of the related literature indicates that consumers' risk perceptions are largely affected by product involvement. This study investigates the impact of product involvement on required trust level and the online merchant choice. We developed a conceptual model that depicts the nomological relationships among product involvement, required trust level, and the online merchant choice, and formulated three hypotheses based on the conceptual model. An empirical study designed to accomplish the research objectives has been conducted using a questionnaire survey with 230 students in a university in Korea. The findings indicated that high-involvement products have higher trust level as required by consumers than low-involvement products, that consumers buying high-involvement products prefer digital storefronts, and that consumers buying low-involvement products prefer B2C e-marketplaces. The paper offers implications for academics as well as practitioners, based on the research results.

The purpose of this study is to develop an environmental education program for environmentally friendly consumer behaviors by analyzing factors influencing the attitude-behavior relationship, and examining consumer information needs about environmental problems. Environmental information demanded by consumers could be classified into five main areas; 'use and disposal of environmentally friendly resources', 'purchase of environmentally friendly goods', 'environmental problems and consumer sovereignty', 'environmental laws and regulations' and 'environmental values and consumer's civil consciousness'. Based on the study results, an environmental education program for consumers was developed which consisted of two main parts, basis and practice. The former aimed to strengthen consumer consciousness about environmental problems and the latter, to make regular environmentally friendly consumer behaviors. The two parts were correlated. Thus strengthening environment-related consumer consciousness by learning the part of basis could promote of environmentally friendly consumer behaviors.

최근 섬유산업은 다품종, 소량 생산 체제 구축 및 quick response(QR) 개념 등의 도입을 통해 소비자의 다양화된 요구에 부응할 뿐 아니라 시장에서의 경쟁력을 강화해 가고 있다. 그 중 QR은 빠른 시간 내에 소비자가 원하는 다양한 제품을 저렴한 비용으로 공급하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있으나, 멜란지 제품의 경우 섬유 상태에서 최종 제품까지 거쳐야 할 공정이 많기 때문에 소비자의 요구에 신속히 대응하기가 쉽지 않다는 문제점이 있다. (중략)

최근의 합성섬유에 있어서 고기능화는 이전의 천연섬유 지향에 탈피하여 독자의 기능을 가지는 새로운 섬유로의 전개로서 "신합섬"이 등장하였다. 소비자의 요구는 천연섬유의 기능성 요구하면서도 기볍고, 얇고, 부드럽고, drape성이 좋고 발색성이 양호한 섬유를 요구하고 있다. 더우기 각종 견뢰성이 우수하고 easy care하지 않으면 안된다. 이와 같은 요즘의 소비자요구의 고급화, 다양화를 생각할 때 wool에 고부가가치르 부여하는 일을 생각하지 않을 수 없다. 그래서 소비자에게 impact를 주고 message를 첨가한 제품을 제안하지 않으면 안될 것이다. 현재는 Price의 시대로부터 value 시대로의 변혁의 시기에 있다는 것을 인식하여야 한다. 양모섬유는 그 자신, 원래, 다종기능을 갖춘 섬유이며 건강유지에는 이상적이라고 말하는 의류소재라는 것은 잘 알고 있지만 그 지능을 강조하는 가공, 그 기능을 일부 희생시켜서라도 새로운 기능을 부가하는 가공, 종애의 가공기술을 개량, 혁신을 진행시켜 가는 것이 중요하다. 이들 가공기술면의 문제와 동시에 design 및 양모의 기능의 PR을 포함한 판매전략의 새로운 전개도 중요 괴제이다.도 중요 괴제이다.
