This study explores an initial framework for online product categorization by examining the relationships among Internet motivations, buying tendencies, and online purchase intentions for product categories. A total of 217 usable questionnaires were obtained from respondents in a southwestern state in the United States. A path model using a correlation matrix with maximum likelihood was estimated using LISREL 8.53. Findings indicated that Internet motivations consisted of four factors: Diversion, Economic, Information, and Social motivations. In addition, online products were classified into three categories based on purchase intentions: Sensory, Cognitive, and Search products. Estimated path model showed that diversion and economic motivations affected impulse buying tendency, whereas economic, information and social motivations influenced planned buying tendency in the online context. Also, the buying tendencies were significantly related to online purchase intentions for the product categories. Purchase intentions for sensory products were more strongly affected by impulse buying tendency, whereas purchase intentions for cognitive and search products were more strongly affected by planned buying tendency. Theoretical and managerial implications were discussed for devising an appropriate e-market strategy for specific product categories.

인터넷이 대중화대면서 온라인 쇼핑이 가능해졌고 구매자들은 인터넷을 통해 구매와 관련 된 경험, 서비스 등을 다른 사람들과 공유할 수 있게 되었다. 인터넷 쇼핑의 특성상 제품을 직접 눈으로 보고 만져 볼 수 없기 때문에 온라인 구전(Online Word of mouth)이 상품 구매 판단의 잣대로 활용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 온라인 쇼핑몰에서 구전 정보 특성이 구매자들의 인지된 구전 정보 가치에 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 분석하였다. 구전정보의 객관성, 관련성, 신빙성, up-to-dateness는 인지된 구전정보가치 즉 구매 불확실성 감소에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 구매 불확실성 감소는 온라인 쇼핑몰의 신뢰에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다.

Recently, in the arena of online shopping, the gap between offline channel and online channel tends to be narrowed significantly. Though previous studies also represent this trend, it still remains ambiguous how much offline trust has a significant influence on user's online shopping behaviors. Furthermore, those research issues such as how individual neuroticism, uncertainty, and transaction cost plays an important role in explaining user's online shopping satisfaction and continuance intention. In this sense, this study aims to organize a new research model including offline trust, uncertainty, transaction cost, satisfaction, and continuance intention. Especially, we are interested in investigating how much moderating effects the individual neuroticism possesses for the paths among the rest of constructs. By using 406 valid questionnaires, we found empirically that transaction cost affects user's online shopping continuance intention, but it has no influence on satisfaction. The individual neuroticism has full moderating effects on the paths on the rest of constructs included in the proposed research model.

With the development of the culture industry, online transactions of cultural products are being activated, and offering information and establishing relationship with customers in web-site have an important influence on online purchase decision making. The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of information and relational benefits provided by online sales sites of cultural products on online purchasing intention, and to reveal through empirical analysis whether these influences show a difference between stage products and screen products. Looking at the results of the study, first, in the case of the whole, both information offering and relational benefits have a significant effect on online purchasing intention. Second, in the case of stage products(plays), product understanding information, economic relational benefits, and customization relational benefits showed significant effects, but product purchasing information showed no significant influence. Third, in the case of screen products(movies), product purchasing information and economic relational benefits showed a significant effect, but product understanding information and customization relational benefits had no significant effect. In conclusion, the impact of information offering and relational benefits on online purchasing intention differs according to cultural products, and economic relational benefit is found to be an important influencing factor on online purchase decision making in all cases. These research results are expected to be helpful in establishing differentiated marketing strategies including customer relationship management in online transactions of cultural products.

While online shopping has been increased expeditiously, a significant portion of purchasing intention has not been converted into actual purchasing behavior without delay in online space. This study investigates the factors causing a delay in online purchasing decision even after purchasing intention has been formed. It identifies the uncertainty variables (information, psychological, and preference uncertainties) related to consumer needs and the situational variables (time pressure and past purchase experience) surrounding the purchasing transaction. Furthermore, the need for cognitive closure is proposed to moderate the relationships between uncertainty/situational variables and the purchasing behavior. The results show that the uncertainties and situational factors significantly influence purchasing delay. Also, the need for cognitive closure indeed works as a moderator between the uncertainty variables and the purchasing behavior. Practical and academic implications of these findings are also discussed.

For the purchase of a cheaper product on the Internet, many customers have been trying to search online shopping mall sites and visit comparison-pricing shops that compare prices and other criteria of the product. Others have been participating into online auction markets or group-buying markets. However, a lot of online shopping malls, auction markets, and group-buying markets provide the same product with different prices. Since these marketplaces have different price settlement mechanism, it is very difficult for the customers to determine marketplace to purchase, considering different kinds of marketplaces at the same time. To overcome such limitations, decision rules and solution procedures for purchase decision making are necessary, which can cover multiple marketplaces simultaneously. For this purpose, purchase decision making in each market must be conducted to maximize customer's utility, and conflicts with other marketplaces must be resolved. Therefore, we have developed the rules and methods that can negotiate cooperatively the purchase decision making in several marketplaces, and designed an architecture of Intelligent Buyer Agent and a message structure to support the idea.

전통적인 상거래 영역에 정보기술을 접목한 전자상거래는 그 규모와 성장면에서 계속적으로 증가하고 있다. 특히 기업과 소비자간 전자상거래를 의미하는 B2C는 그 종류와 규모면에서 계속 성장하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기업과 소비간의 거래에 있어서 제품 구매에 중요한 영향을 미치는 온라인 리뷰의 정보제공능력에 대해 연구하고자 한다. 온라인리뷰가 제공하는 정보의 양이 증가할수록 이는 처리해야 하는 판매자와 구매자에게는 부담이 된다. 기존의 온라인 리뷰에 대한 연구는 사용자의 구매 경험을 전달하는 방법에 주력하여 온라인 리뷰의 형태와 전달효과 등에 대한 연구가 부족하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 효과적으로 정보를 전달하기 위해 필요한 온라인 리뷰의 형태와 정보 전달 등에 대해 연구하고자 한다.
