Purpose - The current study examines the shopping behavior of Chinese tourists who purchase Korean cosmetics when visiting Korea, based on expectancy-disconfirmation of shopping satisfaction and brand attitude toward Korean cosmetics. A moderating effect of consumer conformity on the relationships between cosmetics selection factors and two dimensions of disconfirmation - expectation and performance is also examined. Research design, data, and methodology - We conducted a survey with 250 Chinese tourists who visited Jeju, Korea and had purchased Korean cosmetics during their stay. Excluding 43 respondents' inputs because of incomplete answers and missing values, 207 responses were used in the final analysis. All hypotheses were tested using structural equation model (SEM). Results - We found that the Chinese tourist expectations had positive impact on their satisfaction, and the factors for cosmetic selection had a positive effect on shopping satisfaction and brand attitude. A moderating effect of consumer conformity was found to be significant. Conclusions - Given the significantly increased demand for Korean cosmetics from Chinese tourists, Korean cosmetics firms need to better understand cosmetics selection attributes and preference of Chinese tourists, which can provide a guideline to develop retail stores and distribution outlets for Chinese tourists.

Purpose: This study focuses on the Chinese smartphone market to estimate product attributes influencing Chinese customers' preference for developing new smartphones through conjoint analysis. Research design, data and methodology: The online questionnaire survey is processed among Chinese potential smartphone customers. Conjoint analysis including traditional conjoint analysis (TCA) and choice-based conjoint analysis (CBCA), is used to analyze the useful data of 500. Results: Results indicate that price is the most important predictor while screen size is the least for Chinese customers' preference whether the method is TCA or CBCA. However, the importance of brand, capacity, CPU, and screen design is different. Moreover, based on each smartphone attribute level's utility, the new products with the best combinations are different compared with both methods. Finally, the predicted market shares of the top 3 products are the same with maximum utility rule model between TCA and CBCA. However, when considering with the new best combined product, they are significantly different. Conclusions: Managers should recognize the differences between TCA and CBCA and select the best method to develop new smartphones for sustainable business in the Chinese competitive market based on the important attributes of price, brand, capacity, CPU, screen design, and size.

PB제품은 NB제품에 비해 가격이 저렴하다는 이유 때문에 주로 경제성 추구성향이 강한 소비자들이 선호하는 것으로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 최근에는 고가의 프리미엄급 PB제품도 인기리에 판매되고 있으며, 전반적으로 PB제품의 매출이 급성장하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PB제품의 선호도에 영향을 미치는 요인이 과연 무엇인가를 알아보기 위해 첫째, PB제품에 대한 소비자들의 품질지각에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 알아보고, 둘째, PB제품의 지각적 품질과 소비자의 금전효용가치가 PB제품 구매에 대한 소비자의 지각적 가치에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 알아보고자 하며, 마지막으로 PB제품에 대한 소비자들의 선호도에 영향을 주는 요인들을 확인한 후 PB에 대한 마케팅 전략적 시사점을 제시 하려는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약해보면, PB에 대한 지식과 정보가 풍부하고, PB제품을 사용해 본 후 만족한 경험이 있는 소비자는 PB제품의 품질을 긍정적으로 지각하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 유통업체의 점포이미지는 PB제품의 품질지각에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 한편 PB제품의 지각적 품질과 소비자의 금전효용가치는 모푸 PB제품구매의 지각적 가치에 유의한 영향을 미치는 변수임을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 PB제품의 지각적 품질이 금전효용가치보다 PB제품구매의 지각적 가치에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. PB제품 선호도에는 동일 점포에 입점되어 있는 NB제품의 경쟁력(부의 영향), PB제품 경험 후 태도, PB제품의 지각적 품질, 그리고 PB제품구매의 지각적 가치가 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 소비자의 금전효용가치는 PB제품의 선호도와는 직접적인 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났으며, PB제품구매의 지각적 가치가 PB제품 선호도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 경제성을 추구하는 소비자라 하더라도 PB제품의 지각적 품질수준 여하에 따라 PB제품의 판매가치가 크다고 지각될 때에만 PB제품을 선호하는 것으로 풀이할 수 있다. 본 연구는 최근에 큰 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 PH의 연구자와 유통업계 실무자들에게 유익한 전략적 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 유통산업의 성장과정에서 신유통업태의 등장과 대형할인점의 다점포화 전략으로 유통환경이 급변하고 있다. 경쟁이 격화됨에 따라 대형할인점들은 저가격 전략 및 상품차별화 등을 위해 유통업체브랜드(Private Brand: PB) 개발을 확대하고 있다. 그러나 장기적 경기불황으로 인해 실용적이고 합리적 사고를 가지고 있는 신세대 주부 및 직장인이 주요 고객층으로 자리 잡으면서 과거 지향해 오던 저가전략은 더 이상 새로운 것이 될 수 없게 되었다. 한편, 최근 대형할인점들은 신규고객 확보를 위해 지방 출점을 강화하고 있다. 그러나 지역간 소비자 태도, 소득 및 소비패턴 등의 격차로 인하여 지방출점의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 대형할인점들은 출점지역의 고객 특성에 대한 체계적인 이해와 유통업체브랜드(PB)의 소비자 선호의 지역간 특성 차이를 확인하는 것이 필수적인 과제가 되었다. 즉, 이러한 유통업체의 경쟁적 지방 점포확장과 소비자의 가치관의 변화는 지역간 출점을 앞두고 있는 대형할인점에 대한 PB상품 선호와 구매행동에 대한 연구를 요구하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 소비자의 관점에서 선행연구를 토대로 PB상품 선호도와 선택된 변수들을 중심으로 유통업체 브랜드 제품의 구매의도와 관련하여 경기지역 도시의 지역간 차이가 존재하는지를 분석하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다.

Purpose - Due to the recent slowdown of growth in global luxury brands, which have been an engine of our domestic fashion market growth, there is an increasing need to develop a global market for domestic high-priced fashion brands. In spite of the large scale of trade between Korea and China with respect to fashion products, current trade concentrates on middle- and low-priced products rather than high-priced products. Diversification of the trade between Korea and China in terms of the price levels of trade products is needed. An understanding of Chinese consumption values and purchase intentions for luxury fashion brands will be very helpful for the establishment of strategies with the aim of increasing the level of trade with regard to high-priced fashion products. Therefore, the study aimed to identify the differences in the clothing consumption values of South Korean and Chinese women in their 20s, especially with reference to how those values affect their preference and purchase intention for luxury fashion brands. Research design, data, methodology - The study was implemented through a descriptive survey method using a self-administered questionnaire. The sample consisted of 283 Korean and 306 Chinese women in their 20s, residing in Seoul, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. Data were collected from March 3 to 15, 2014. A total of 589 completed responses were analyzed. Data were analyzed by factor analysis, t-test, and multiple regression analysis. Results - Fivefactors for clothing consumption values were formulated: conspicuous/social value, fashionability value, personality expression value, hedonic value, and practical value. There were significant differences between Korean and Chinese consumers in clothing consumption values (except social value), preference, and purchase intention for luxury fashion brands. With regard to clothing consumption values, Chinese women attached more importance to fashionability value, personality expression value, hedonic value, and practical value than South Korean women. In addition, Chinese women's preference and purchase intention for luxury fashion brands were higher than South Korean women's. Second, in the case of South Korean women, social value, practical value, and fashionability value had positive effects on preferences for luxury fashion brands, while attractive/personality expression value and hedonic value had no influence. In contrast, in the case of Chinese women, social value and fashionability value had positive effects on preference for the luxury fashion brands. Third, in the case of South Korean women, social value and practical value had positive effects on purchase intentions for luxury fashion brands. In contrast, in the case of Chinese women, social value, personality expression value, and fashionability value had positive effects on purchase intention for luxury fashion brands. Conclusions - Considering the findings of the study, it is clear that differentiated marketing strategies are needed for luxury fashion brand markets in Korea and China. The results of the study could provide useful information that will help increase the effectiveness of luxury fashion brand marketing strategies in Korea and China.
