Since product design strongly depends on the experience and ability of the designers, and a long lead time is required for the product design stage, introducing a support system related to this experience and ability is an effective technique to reduce the lead time. In this paper, an information system is developed to support the development of engineering mechanisms with the evaluation of the assembly process on the basis of the abstract functions required for new products. The developed system is based on a database system involving the following data structure: (1) a hierarchical structure related to information about the product functions, (2) the relationship between the parts and engineering functions and/or mechanisms of products, and (3) the relationship between the parts and manufacturing characteristics. The system stores the relationships between the product functions, structure of parts, and assembly characteristics. This information can then be interactively retrieved using the data structure described in (1), (2), and (3). A procedure for designing new products is proposed that involves using the information about existing products. This paper presents the characteristics of the proposed procedure and the developed information system. In addition, a case study of the redesign of a simple structured robot by using the proposed procedure is discussed.

In recent years, firm performance has been a topic that attracts many researchers. It is extremely important to identify the factors that change firm performance. In the current trend of competition and integration, foreign ownership, product market competition is found to reduce agency costs and impact firm performance. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between foreign ownership, product market competition, and firm performance. Our research using a quantile regression model, through panel data of 290 companies listed on the Vietnam stock exchange (include Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi stock exchanges) from 2017 to 2019 that was collected by Thomson - Reuters DataStream has shown that foreign ownership and product market competition have a positive impact on Tobin's Q but are not statistically significant with ROA. Critically, our quantile regression results suppose foreign ownership, product market competition have a significantly larger positive impact in high-performing firms relative to low-performing firms. The results help propose solutions to planners and managers to change foreign ownership and product market competition to increase business performance. Besides, through quantile regression analysis, managers need to pay attention to the impact on foreign ownership, product market competition; there will be a difference between high-performing firms relative to low-performing firms.

Purpose: Previous literature shows that a price promotion serves as a negative cue of product quality especially when consumers have no additional information about the product's other attributes. In this research, we explore how the effect of price promotions on consumers' perceptions of product quality changes depending on their ability to compare promoted product attributes with competitive products' attributes. Research design, data and methodology: Specifically, we use a series of scenario-based lab experiments using different types of products and explore if attribute alignability among competing products in a consumer's choice set influences consumers' ability to compare the product attributes and perceived quality. Results: Our study findings show that high attribute alignability among products makes consumers easier to compare the product attributes and thereby focus more on non-price information than price information. We also show that attribute alignability serves as a moderator and decreases perceived quality when the promotion level is higher. Therefore, the attribute alignability weakens the negative impact of a price promotion on consumers' perceived product quality. Conclusions: Our study findings provide new insights on how to implement price promotion strategies while keeping products' perceived quality, by considering the product's relationships with competing products in a choice set.

In this study, the effects of show host's verbal communication subfactors, such as paralanguage, friendliness, and professionalism, as well as nonverbal communication subfactors, such as demonstration attitude, appearance, and attractiveness, on purchase intention were examined by evaluating customer empathy and product reliability. Data was collected from 20s-50s females. SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0 were used for data analysis. The results revealed that professionalism and friendliness had a positive impact on customer empathy; however, friendliness had a negative impact on product reliability. Moreover, nonverbal communication subfactors had a positive impact on empathy, and appearance had a positive impact on product reliability. In contrast, attractiveness had a negative impact on product reliability, whereas empathy and product reliability had a positive impact on purchase intention. Thus, ensuring appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication is essential for customer empathy and product reliability. Given that a show host's friendliness, professional verbal communication, demonstration attitude, appearance, and attractiveness have a positive impact on customer empathy, these factors should be considered critical qualities of show hosts.

시간과 돈 효과는 시간이라는 개념이 돈보다 소비자의 제품에 대한 태도 및 의사결정에 긍정적인 역할을 한다는 것을 의미한다. 시간과 돈을 어떻게 사용하는가는 각 개인의 정체성과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 기존 연구에 의하면, 시간은 경험으로 존재하기 때문에 시간은 물질적 제품보다 경험적 제품에 대해 좀 더 긍정적인 소비자 반응을 유발하는 반면, 돈은 소유로 대표되는 물질주의적 가치와 관련되어 있으므로 경험적 제품보다는 물질적 제품에 대해 좀 더 긍정적인 소비자 반응을 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 제품유형에 스마트폰을 더하여 시간과 돈의 효과가 소비자의 반응에 어떤 영향을 주는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 실험 1에서는 기존에 자신이 사용하였던 제품에 대한 평가를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 소비자의 만족도에 대해 시간과 돈 활성화 조건과 3 가지 제품유형(패밀리 레스토랑, 스마트폰, 고급브랜드청바지)간의 상호작용이 관찰되었으며, 스마트폰에 있어서는 시간활성화가 돈활성화보다 높은 만족도를 유발하였다. 실험 2에서는 실험1에서 사용된 제품유형에 대한 이미지 광고를 사용하여 시간과 돈 효과를 살펴보았다. 제품에 대한 태도, 만족도, 구매의사, 개인적 관련성 변인 모두에서 시간돈활성화 조건과 제품유형간의 상호작용이 관찰되었으며, 역시 스마트폰에서만 유의미한 활성화조건간 차가 관찰되었다. 아울러 활성화조건의 주효과도 관찰되어 시간활성화 광고가 돈활성화 광고보다 훨씬 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과에 대한 이론적, 실용적 함의점이 논의되었다.
