According to the 2019-2020 social media usage survey conducted by the Seoul e-commerce center, 5 out of 10 consumers have experienced shopping through social media. The cost of traditional advertising media has been reduced and advertising spending on social media has risen by 74%, indicating that social media is becoming a more important marketing element. While the number of users of social media has increased and corporate marketing activities have increased accordingly, research has been conducted in various aspects of marketing such as user motivation for social media, satisfaction, and purchase intention. There was no subdivided study on the differences in the social media usage frequency of consumers in actual purchasing behavior. This study attempted to identify differences in consumer characteristics by cluster in the agrifood purchase situation by grouping them by type according to the frequency of use of social media for consumers who purchase agri-food online. Product involvement, product need, and online purchase channel Consumer characteristics such as demographic distribution, perceived risk, and eating and lifestyle in each cluster were checked for the three agrifood purchase situations including choice, and types for each cluster were presented. To this end, questionnaire data on the frequency of social media use and online agrifood purchase behavior were collected from 245 consumers, and the validity of the measurement variables was secured through factor analysis and reliability analysis. As a result of cluster analysis according to the frequency of social media use, it was divided into three clusters. The first cluster was a group that mainly used open social media, and the second cluster was a group that used both open and closed social media and online shopping malls; The third cluster was a group with low online media usage overall, and the characteristics of each cluster appeared. Through regression analysis, the effect on product involvement, product need, and purchase channel selection when purchasing agri-food online through each of the three clusters was confirmed through regression analysis. As a result of the regression analysis, the characteristic of cluster 1 in the situation of purchasing agri-food online is a male in his 30s living in a rural area who has no reluctance to purchase agri-food on social media or online shopping malls. The characteristics of cluster 2 are mainly consumers who are interested in purchasing health food, and the consumer characteristics are represented. In the case of cluster 3, when purchasing products online, they purchase after considering quality and price a lot, and the consumer characteristics are represented as people who are more confident in purchasing offline than online. Through this study, it is judged that by identifying the differences in consumer characteristics that appear in the agri-food purchase situation according to the frequency of social media use, it can be helpful in strategic judgments in marketing practice on social media customer targeting and customer segmentation.

This study investigates the effects of product strategies and CEO characteristics on the growth of venture firms. These factors are related with strategic behaviors and managerial capabilities of small and dynamic firms. According to empirical results of FGLS regression with the data of the Korean venture firms, both product strategies and CEO characteristics have significant effects on firm growth and additionally explanatory powers. In general, the growth rates of venture firms tend to increase with the level of product's diversity and marketing-enhancing strategy, but decrease with the degree of product's innovation-enhancing strategy. The growth rates are higher when CEO is non-founder and has sufficient experience related to current business, and CEO's career development is focused on general management area. The effects of product strategies and CEO characteristics are moderated by the firm-internal factor such as organizational growth stage. The positive effects of some product strategies (e.g. marketing-enhancing strategy) and CEO characteristics(e.g. career focused on general management) become stronger for firms operating in the stage of start-up or initial growth, while their effects become negative or insignificant for firms operating in the mature or declining stage in which the negative effect of innovation-enhancing strategy does not exist.

Due to imbalances in supply and demand within the labor market, start-ups have emerged as crucial players in the generation of high-quality employment opportunities, particularly in stagnant job markets. In response to this trend, governments are allocating substantial financial and human resources to initiatives that support start-up development. This has led to an increasing rate of engagement in start-up ventures across diverse age groups, not limited to younger individuals. Start-ups are enterprises focused on the commercialization of innovative ideas with the aim of achieving profitability in the marketplace. Research concerning the successful market integration of new products and the attainment of sustainable growth is pivotal. Such research is instrumental not only for the success of start-ups but also for realizing the broader social functions and contributions that these enterprises can offer. Previous research has often examined new product market-entry strategies, often referred to as new product marketing, particularly for large companies and SMEs. However, there is a gap in studies focusing on prototype marketing strategies specific to start-ups. Thus, this study aims to examine the impact of Pre-announcing marketing strategies on the market attention garnered by start-ups with low recognition and limited infrastructure, and how such attention contributes to their sustainable growth. Specifically, the study aims to uncover the causal relationship between information attributes like relevance, vividness, and novelty in building customer relationships, and their impact on purchase intentions influenced by performance expectations and hedonic motivations. In terms of Pre-announcing information attributes, relevance, vividness, and novelty positively influence performance expectations and hedonic motivations as outlined in the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2). These factors, in turn, positively impact the purchase intention for pre-announced new products from start-ups. These findings are expected to provide both theory and practical insights into the factors influencing market entry through the use of Pre-announcing marketing strategies for start-up new products.

본 연구에서는 인터넷 쇼핑몰의 생존과 발전을 위한 단계로 방문빈도, 방문 지속성의 전략이라고 할 수 있는 쇼핑몰 밀착도를 결정하는 요인들과 플로우에 영향을 주는 요인, 전형성에 영향을 주는 요인, 인터넷 쇼핑몰 유형에 따른 인터넷 쇼핑몰 속성 태도와 인터넷 쇼핑몰 전형성의 관계, 소비자 행동 측면의 플로우 경험과 전형성의 영향정도 등을 조사한다. 이를 기반으로 인터넷 유형을 분류하여 인터넷 쇼핑몰의 특성 및 콘테츠 특성에 대한 전형성 정도를 세분화할 수 있다. 또한 밀착도와 충성도의 관계를 파악함으로 인해 쇼핑몰의 방문빈도 및 방문지속성의 유지가 기업의 장기적인 발전에 어느 정도 기여를 할 수 있는지에 대해서 파악할 수 있다. 본 연구결과 인터넷 쇼핑몰 특성은 전형성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치며, 콘텐츠 특성은 플로우에 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤다. 이를 통해 현재 오프라인을 기반으로 한 쇼핑몰인 경우 이 전에 오프라인에서 유지해 오던 상품제시, 보장, 명성 등이 온라인까지 확장되었다는 의미이며, 이러한 현상은 현재 오프라인 소매점에서 온라인 소매점으로 확장할 경우 이들 특성들이 전이(transfer)된다는 사실을 쇼핑몰 관리자들은 인지해야 한다. 또한 콘텐츠 특성은 오프라인 쇼핑몰보다는 순수 온라인 쇼핑몰이 플로우에 영향을 더 많이 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 순수 온라인만을 주목적으로 창업하려는 쇼핑몰 관리자들은 콘텐츠 특성인 인터페이스 기능 강화, 톡특한 디자인 및 Lay-Out 등에 투자를 해야 한다. 위의 결과를 통해 플로우 및 전형성이 밀착도인 방문빈도 및 방문지속성에 영향을 미치며 이러한 밀착도는 소비자 충성도에 제고에 영향을 미칠 것이다.

A change request in design education is a phenomenon manifested by changes in the value of the industry and market demands. Changes in external requirements and internal values that affect the design industry today are shifting from consumer-centered design to stakeholder-centered design. At the center of these changes, design education should be transformed into an educational mechanism that conforms to the characteristics of each field and design specialization should coincide with the direction of the capitalist market. Design specialization must realize the policy of education in economic value first, and should be changed to a design process that enhances rationality and efficiency from the previous apprenticeship education.
