본 논문에서는 중국의 소비자가 e-비즈니스에 대한 행태를 설문조사를 통해 분석하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 크게 e-비즈니스에 대한 만족감, 신뢰도, 개인정보유출에 대한 태도, 그리고 온라인 소비에 대한 제약 요인 네 가지 측면에서 조사하였다. 조사결과에 의하면 중국의 소비자는 e-비즈니스 이용에 대해서는 비교적 만족하고 있으나 상대적으로 e-비즈니스에 대한 신뢰도는 만족감보다 낮게 나타나고 있다. 개인정보유출에 대해서는 비교적 긍정적이지만 남성보다는 여성이 상대적으로 소극적인 태도를 보이고 있다. 그리고 온라인 소비를 제약하는 가장 중요한 요인으로 제품의 품질에 대한 보장으로 나타났다. 이는 온라인 거래에 있어서 제품에 대한 보장이 결국은 e-비즈니스의 신뢰도를 높이는 가장 중요한 조건으로 해석할 수 있다.

This study conducted a survey on 319 Chinese women in their 20s to 50s living in three large cities in China, with an aim to analyze the influence on the purchasing behavior and satisfaction for Korean cosmetics depending on their complex purchasing tendencies. According to the research, the rational tendency was higher when the subjects were over 40 years old and married, and the impulsive tendency was the highest in those in their 30s. There was no huge difference in regions depending on the two tendencies, while there were statistically significant differences in purchasing period, times and costs when buying cosmetics. In addition, purchasing satisfaction for cosmetics had a positive correlation with purchasing tendencies. The subjects pursued convenience in purchasing as their rational tendency was higher, while they sought the trends as their impulsive tendency was higher. Based on the results, it is expected to maximize purchasing satisfaction of Chinese female consumers depending on their purchasing tendencies, if the Korean cosmetics makers provide reliable quality assurance, product exchange and customer management services. It is also expected to help revitalize the beauty market for China as well as Southeast Asia, if the Korean cosmetics companies implement differentiated marketing strategies targeting the customers in the age group with the impulsive consumption tendency.
