Objectives of this study were: First, the purpose of this study is to develope the factors affecting private brand based on past researches and to review effects of the consumer perception factors affecting private brand preference. Second, to set up research model specifying relationships among price perception, information search and experience, Quality perception and private brand preference. Third, to test hypotheses derived from the research model of this study and to attempts to explain how to have the effect the private brand preference. Marketing implications of this study were: As a result LISREL analysis, price perception, informations search and experience, quality perception increase and enhance private brand preference. Limitations of this study were: Data collection methods used in this study were questionable for the lack of general analysis in the difference of preference between characteristics of purchaser and characteristics of non-purchaser exactly because our sample was only limited to Changwon, Masan and Jinhae. So future study has to include samples in other regions.

The purpose of this research was to determine whether multimodal cues in an online shopping environment could enhance tactile consumer mental imagery, purchase intentions, and attitudes towards an apparel product. One limitation of online retail is that consumers are unable to physically touch the items. However, as tactile information plays an important role in consumer decisions especially for apparel products, this study investigated the effects of multimodal cues on overcoming the lack of tactile stimuli. In experiment 1, to explore the product, the participants were randomly assigned to four conditions; picture only, video without sound, video with corresponding sound, and video with discordant sound; after which tactile mental imagery vividness, ease of imagination, attitude, and purchase intentions were measured. It was found that the video with discordant sound had the lowest average scores of all dependent variables. A within-participants design was used in experiment 2, in which all participants explored the same product in the four conditions in a random order. They were told that they were visiting four different brands on a price comparison web site. After the same variables as in experiment 1, including the need for touch, were measured, the repeated measures ANCOVA results revealed that compared to the other conditions, the video with the corresponding sound significantly enhanced tactile mental imagery vividness, attitude, and purchase intentions. However, the discordant condition had significantly lower attitudes and purchase intentions. The dual mediation analysis also revealed that the multimodal cue conditions significantly predicted attitudes and purchase intentions by sequentially mediating the imagery vividness and ease of imagination. In sum, vivid tactile mental imagery triggered using audio-visual stimuli could have a positive effect on consumer decision making by making it easier to imagine a situation where consumers could touch and use the product.

본 연구는 거래비용이론에 기초하여 전자적 시장의 소비자 제품채택을 경험적으로 검증하였다. 또한 전자적 시장에서 디지털 제품과 물리적 제품에 대한 소비자 제품채택 모형을 제시하고 디지털 제품과 물리적 제품에 대한 거래비용, 불확실성, 자산특수성, 소비자 제품채택간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 즉, 전자적 시장에서 물리적제품에 비해 탐색이나 비교가 용이하고 신발이나 옷과 같이 검사해 볼 필요가 없고, 다운로드를 통해서 운송비용이 들지 않으며, 사후서비스 비용이 적게 드는 디지털 제품에 대한 소비자의 제품구매가 전통적 시장보다 높음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 디지털 제품과 물리적 제품에 따라 소비자 제품채택은 차이가 있었다. 디지털 제품의 경우 거래비용(-), 불확실성(-), 자산특수성(+) 및 소비자제품채택(+)의 인과관계가 있었다. 그러나, 물리적 제품의 경우 거래비용(-), 불확실성(-), 그리고 소비자제품채택(+)에만 영향을 주었다. 따라서 이에 맞는 제품개발과 전략을 수립해야 할 것이다.

The influence of information on other's preference on one's attitude formation can vary with consumer's uniqueness motive and product attributes. When high-CNFU individuals are given the information on the preference of others toward an experience attribute, the uniqueness aspect of their self-identity is aroused. As conforming to others' preference causes concern that their uniqueness-related self-esteem is threatened, they contrast away from the majority. On the other hand, they form their attitude toward search attributes regardless of the preference of others. In contrast, for low-CNFU individuals, knowing the majority's choice of experience attributes does not arouse the uniqueness aspect of their self-identity and not threaten their self-esteem. Thus, they tend to conform to the majority regardless of the type of product attributes. This study suggests whether or not the attribute signals the identity of a person as another criterion that distinguishes experience and search attributes. The results imply that when targeting a consumer with a strong desire for uniqueness, it would be more effective for a company to develop features that are not popular.

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.

This study is set out to investigate the factors that influence customers' behavior of choice and switching between online and offline channels, separating the purchase decision into two stages, i.e., information search and purchase. Factors influencing channel choice are found to differ from stage to stage. The main results of this study are as follows. At the information search stage, customers' channel knowledge had impacts on the choice of the channel. Customers are more likely to visit offline bookstores when they have hedonic shopping orientation and higher involvement level with books. On the contrary, customers are more apt to search online when they have a lot of online shopping experiences. At the purchase stage, the results varied according to the search channel. When customers search for information online, the following variables lead to online purchases: online shopping experiences with books, price-focused shopping orientation, and time availability for shopping. Perceived risk made customers purchase offline even though they searched online. In case of offline searching, customers with more convenience-focused, hedonic-focused shopping orientation and less tim availability purchased offline.

최근들어 새로운 항생물질을 발견하기 위한 연구 동향은 크게 세가지로 대별된다. 첫째는 Streptomyces 속을 제외한 희귀 방선균류를 분리하거나 해양 미생물과 버섯류 및 곰팡이를 대상으로 하여 새로운 항생 물질의 발견 가능성을 증대시키려는 것과 둘째는 기존의 무작위 탐색방법을 탈피하고 보다 선택적이고 특이적인 목표 지향적인 탐색(target directed screening)을 통해 선별적인 탐색을 행하고 셋째는 유전자 조작을 통해 hybrid 항생물질을 생산하기 위한 여러 시도로 나눌수 있다. 한편 방선균의 가장 중요한 경제적인 측면은 항생물질 생산이라고 일컬어지고 있으나 방선균은 항생물질 이외에도 다른 상업적인 제품의 공급원이 되고 있으며, 어떤 방선균들은 한 종류 이상의 항생물질을 생산하기 때문에 새로운 발효기술을 응용하면 새로운 물질을 발견하는데 매우 커다란 도움을 줄 것으로 생각된다.

웹 서비스 제품은 그 특성상 패치와 릴리즈가 잦고, 개발주기도 아주 짧다. 따라서 한정된 자원으로 많은 양의 품질 보증 활동이 요구되지만, 실시간으로 이루어지는 TTM(Time to market)을 맞추려면 신속하면서도 높은 수준의 품질을 보증하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 탐색적 테스팅 기법과 위험기반 테스팅 기법을 간소화하여, 리스크 분석 시 탐색적 기법으로 판단하여 바로 우선순위를 매기고 테스트를 진행한다. 여기서 리스크 Matrix에 리스크 분석 테이블을 적용하여 테스트 우선순위를 판단한다. 검증의 방법은 적용 전/후 프로젝트 수 대비 TTM 준수율 및 품질을 기준으로 한다.

오늘날 치열한 글로벌 마켓의 경쟁환경에서 많은 회사들이 제품의 경쟁우위를 확보하기 위해 고객에 대한 빠른 대응과 유연하고 효율적인 새로운 제품을 적기에 개발하기 위한 방법으로 product family 기반의 제품개발과 고객 맞춤형 제품개발 방법을 도입하고 있다. 많은 제품들의 가장 중요한 비즈니스 프로세스 요소는 제품의 전체 라이프 씨이들동안 제품 데이터를 관리하는 것이다. 서로 다른 저장 구조를 가지는 이기종 소프트웨어 시스템에 의해 수집되는 제품 정보는 서로 다른 조직의 정보시스템내에서 인덱싱, 탐색, 정제, 재사용, 분배되는 것이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 현재의 제품 설계 저장소의 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 시맨틱 웹 패러다임을 사용하여 product family를 대상으로 지식 관리 프레임워크를 개발하고자 한다. 시맨틱 웹 패러다임의 formal product represention은 제품 플랫폼의 구조를 저장할 수 있고, product family의 서로 다른 부품들을 공용으로 사용할 수 있도록 도와 줄 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, product family 기반의 제품개발과 고객맞춤형 제품개발이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 일회용 카메라를 대상으로 제안한 프레임워크의 타당성의 입증을 위한 프로토타입을 제시한다.
