The purpose of this research is to confirm how the determinant factors for shopping mall selection (proximity, parking facility, benefits, mutual interaction effects, physical environment, surroundings) affect attractiveness (image and appraisal) of the traditional markets and revisit intention and suggest strategic methods for revitalization of the traditional markets. Results of this research are drawn from a survey of customers who visit any of the twenty-two traditional markets in the Seoul area at least twice a week. Moreover, the theory is verified through the structural equation model analysis using the SPSS win 18.0 and AMOS 18 version statistics package. From the determinant factors of visiting traditional markets, parking facility, physical environment, and the surroundings were significant in image attractiveness; benefits, mutual interaction effects, and physical environment showed significant effects on appraisal attractiveness. Additionally, image attractiveness was not significantly influential in retention proneness while appraisal attractiveness was a key factor in deciding whether or not to revisit. Therefore, improvement in image is important but appraisal aspects like product reliability that customers can personally assess, are more essential for revitalization of traditional markets.

The electronic commerce environment allows customers to search for information and purchase products and services via direct contact with internet markets. Purchasing through the internet is not a real experience of purchasing, but is based on some pictures, information and advertisements of products. To improve E-commerce environment in Iran, purchasing behavior of Iranian young adults in the internet shopping mall is analyzed in this study. The factors which influence the motivation of internet shopping and the selection of internet shopping mall is investigated, and statistical tests were applied between these factors and other variables such as gender, job, age and education. The results of the tests showed that there is a gender difference on one of the shopping mall selection factor (i.e., abundant information about products); also there is a gender difference on the one of the shopping motivation factor (i.e., possibility of comparing products). Besides, there is a job difference (student or non-student) on the factor of 'Purchase frequency per month'.

Internet lowers the search cost to acquire information about products and sellers price information. Because consumers can easily compare prices among different Internet retailers, the price competition among merchants in Internet has been intensified. For online retailers, it is important to differentiate their sites from competitors based upon services rather than prices. This study investigates which factors influence on consumers price sensitivity in Internet book markets and examines whether consumers price sensitivity has any effect on the type of preferred Internet bookstore (hybrid or pure online book stores). Survey is conducted to empirically investigate the relationship among the various consumer attitudes and price sensitivity. The result shows that price search and price importance have effect on the choice of Internet bookstore. Consumers with higher price sensitivity preferred to purchase books from pure Internet bookstores rather than hybrid (click-and-mortar) bookstores. This study provides an exploratory framework that tries to understand consumer behavior about price sensitivity that might provide some marketing implications to lessen the price competition of Internet retailers.

Sensitivity to online store stimuli (VMD attributes) and response (online store loyalty) may depend upon consumers' regulatory focus (emotional state). In other words, consumers' sensitivity to online store atmosphere and consequent store loyalty can be influenced by the match between their regulatory focus (promotion focused vs. prevention focused) and the type of the online store VMD benefits Study 1 results indicate consumers have a different evaluation about online store atmosphere depending on their regulatory focus. Promotion-focused consumers were significantly more sensitive to visual appeal and entertainment attributes of online store atmospherics than prevention-focused consumers. Conversely, prevention-focused consumers were significantly more sensitive to security and privacy attributes of online store, than promotion-focused consumers. Study 2 results indicate for promotion-focused shoppers, hedonic value toward online store atmosphere was associated with greater online store loyalty. In contrast, prevention-focused shoppers were influenced more by the utilitarian attributes on online store loyalty than promotion-focused shoppers. The current findings indicate that shoppers with promotion-focused are more easily persuaded by visual and entertainment-oriented online store cues. Conversely, shoppers with prevention-focus are more easily persuaded by safety and privacy-oriented online store cues.

A research model was developed to examine the relationships between the anticipated benefit factors of Internet shopping malls selling physical products and their competitive strategies when the shopping malls are located in their supply chain clusters. A survey questionnaire was implemented and 99 usable responses were obtained from the internet shopping malls located in major industrial clusters in Korea. The six major benefit factors were found: sharing information with offline suppliers, obtaining customers, improvement of trust, efficiency of operation processes, value-added service, management of suppliers. The six empirically derived benefit factors were then used to examine how they affect the firms' competitive strategies and strategic alliance/merger. The regression results shows that the benefit factors influence on firms' choosing one or some combination of the competitive strategies and strategic alliance to survive and succeed in the market.
