최근 몇 년 동안 차세대 친환경 자동차의 주요 제조업체의 개발 및 시장 참여가 가속화되고 있으며, 소비자 관심도 증가했다. 본 연구는 차세대 친환경 자동차의 소비자 특성, 소비 유형, 정부 정책 등에 중점을 두어 연구하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 소비자 유형 (가격 가치 추구 유형, 개인 가치 추구 유형, 소비자 사이의 유의 한 차이는 없음)과 소비자의 특성 (성별, 연령, 월평균 소득)와 구매 의도는 연령, 성별, 월평균 소득에 따라 유의 한 차이가 없었으나 소비자의 유형에 따라 구매 의도가 유의미한 차이를 보였으며 디자인브랜드, 색상, 이미지는 친환경 자동차에 긍정적 (+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 최근 차세대 친환경 자동차의 개발 및 시장 참여가 가속화되고 소비자의 관심이 증대되고 있음을 시사하며, 친환경 차량의 특성 및 정부의 정책적 지원이 중요한 요소임을 알 수 있다.

본 연구는 웹 커뮤니티를 기반으로 한 디지털 콘텐츠 공유와 소비자들의 참여행동에 대한 소비심리, 소비문화의 감성적 요인을 소비자의 정보 콘텐츠 선택행동에 관한 경험론적 관점에서 재해석하고자 하였다. 네트워크상의 많은 소비자들은 도전감, 자기표현감, 인간적 유대감등 사회심리적 요인들에 의해 네트워크에 플로우 되는 것으로 분석된다. 플로우의 발생기저로서 소비자들의 소비문화 및 라이프스타일의 변화, 소비자역할의 변화를 중요 설명배경으로 제시하였고 소비자들의 경험적 가치관과 몰입하고자 하는 니즈를 소비행동의 중요 이론적 기저로 분석하여 명제를 제시하였다. 본 연구는 디지털환경 그리고 향후 변화의 중심에 있는 컨버전스 환경과 소비자들의 소비문화, 소비자선택행동이 어떠한 기저적 맥락에서 상호 연계되어 있는가에 대한 문헌고찰을 통한 이론 연구를 수행하여 기업의 콘텐츠 상품 및 서비스 기획의 기초자료로서 정책응용의 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Group buying is one of the most popular transaction patterns on the internet at least in Korea. Nevertheless, it is hard to find academic researches for it in view of consumer behavior. In this paper, we analyze factors which determine consumer's attitude toward and intention of participation in Internet group buying by comparison of Internet individual one. For this purpose, we propose “lowering price”, “decreasing risk” and “reducing transaction cost” as relative advantages and "lack of product assortment" and "delay of time" as relative disadvantages over individual buying on the Internet. For empirical test, Internet users who have some experiences of individual buying but not group ones on the Internet are surveyed and analyzed. In result, a satisfying model fitness for structural equation model is derived and most hypotheses except the relationship between "decreasing risk" and "attitude toward Internet group buying" are accepted. Our results provide not only academic contribution by suggestion of a research framework but also practical insight by discussion of diverse features in Internet group buying.verse features in Internet group buying.

This study investigates risk reduction behavior with risk perception in outdoor wear purchase situations. Data were collected via a questionnaire from 400 consumers between the ages of 20 to 50 residing in Seoul and Kyonggi-do. Data analysis were conducted with SPSS 20 program on the reliability test, factor analysis, cluster analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and Duncan's multiple range test. Factor analyses were employed for the participation motivation of mountain climbing activities, risk reduction behavior and risk perception. Five factors were for the participation motivation of mountain climbing activities (health and fitness, external ostentation, achievement and excitement, improvement of climbing skills, and society). Five factors were for risk perception (fashionability loss and social risk, time and convenience loss, economic risk, performance risk, and psychological risk). Five factors were for the risk reduction behavior (interpersonal information sources use, marketer-dominated information sources use, professional information sources use, pre-purchase deliberation/observation/experience, and brand dependence). Three clusters were identified based on the motivation of outdoor activities (the affiliation/display, the health/internal informativeness and low motivation). The participation motivation for mountain climbing activities were varied. Manufacturers should increase efforts to develop products with good qualities at a reasonable cost as well as establish new marketing strategies since the risk of product performance and economic efficiency in the purchase of outdoor wear was a significant consumer perception.

The study examines the impact of financial risk, convenience risk, non-delivery risk; return policy risk and product risk on online consumer behavior of Malaysian consumers. The research employed a self-administered survey to collect empirical data from 245 Malaysian online shoppers by using convenience sampling. Cronbach alpha was calculated to confirm the reliability of the data and then normality was assessed. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was then conducted to test the model using the goodness-of-fit tests. And finally, structural equation modeling is used to test the hypotheses and draw conclusions. IBM SPSS AMOS version 22.0 was utilized for data analysis. The research indicates that product risk, convenience risk, and return policy risk have a significant and positive impact on online shopping behavior. Financial risk is found to have insignificant and negative effects on consumer behavior. In addition, the non-delivery risk is found to have a significant and negative impact on online shopping behavior. The findings provide a useful model for measuring and managing perceived risk in online shopping which may result in an increase in participation of Malaysian consumers and reduce their cognitive deficiencies in the e-commerce environment. Several managerial implications are discussed along with the scope for future research.

Purpose Live streaming commerce refers to the fact that people receive live audio and live video directly over the net. While some e-retailers use Live Streaming as a marketing strategy, the impact of live streaming commerce on customers' reuse intentions is unknown. The purpose of this study is to discuss the impact of live streaming commerce by external environmental factors based on S-O-R theory. Design/methodology/approach In this study, we developed a research model based on the S-O-R theory. Using the questionnaire survey method, consumers who used live streaming commerce on Taobao.com were taken as research subjects. Our research model aims to find out how content attributes, real-time interactions, media characteristics, and situational characteristics as stimulus factors influence consumers' perceptions and thus reuse intentions. Findings The results of the analysis show that external environmental factors have a significant impact on consumer perceptions and that perceived risks and flows can influence consumers' reuse intentions. In addition, we also examined the impact of reuse intentions on consumers' active participation. These results show that live streaming commerce can influence consumer perceptions and behavior in several ways.
