The rapid growth in the popularity of social media sites has meant that social media has become an important communication channel for brands. Brands create brand pages on social media to cultivate positive and strong relationships with consumers. This study seeks to enhance our understanding of how fashion brand pages in social media foster consumer-brand relationships by exploring the factors that affect the development of consumer-brand relationships. Drawing on the parasocial interaction theory, this study proposes parasocial interaction as a key factor of this process. Specifically, this study proposes four antecedents (vividness, interactivity, social presence, and focused attention) of consumers' parasocial interaction with brand pages, which further affects consumer responses in terms of affective engagement and brand loyalty. An online survey was administered with consumers who have followed and visited at least one fashion brand page via a social networking site (SNS). Structural equation modeling revealed that consumers' perceptions of vividness, interactivity, social presence, and focused attention on a fashion brand page positively affected their feelings towards parasocial interaction with the brand page, which in turn led to their affective engagement with the brand page and consequent brand loyalty. These findings suggest that consumers build relationships of varying degrees with brand pages in a similar manner to that with people, which leads to their development of a positive relationship with the brand. This study concludes with discussions and practical implications.

Recently in the Mongolian wireless marketplace, many E-commerce companies have been making considerable investments in the technological development of M-commerce, taking competitive advantage of new business possibilities offered by Internet-based wireless technologies. In the Mongolian wireless marketplace, this new mobile environment opens the door for new and exciting market opportunities in mobile services and applications. In the near future, these companies will be looking toward M-commerce services as a supplemental source of revenue in the mobile marketplace. This paper examines the roles of M-commerce in the consumers' in order to promote the consumers' loyalty in the booming M-commerce. This paper contains theory that focuses on the basic concepts of the M-commerce environment, its wireless network technologies, and its applications infrastructure. Upon searching for references to assist us in establishing a market hypothesis, we discovered that few comprehensive studies on consumer perspective and behavior related to M-commerce services actually exist in the literature. In the area of M-commerce, many companies neglect the consumer perspective, concentrating only on technological factors only when formulating their market strategies. And, due to technological blindness, many companies were not able to succeed in end-user E-commerce services. Given that fact, this paper formulates a consumer-centric research model. In order to prove the research model, we chose the survey method which allows for the collection of large amounts of data from a sizeable population in a highly economical way. Through the survey, this paper defines consumer's attitudes towards M-commerce services by identifying potential Business-to-Commerce(B2C) applications and its primary target groups in terms of gender and age, and by investigating whether consumers recognize the value proposition of M-commerce applications and services. As shown in the data analysis and results, this research concludes that M-commerce development in Mongolia is still at its infancy, and that the implementation of M-commerce depends not only on technological progress, but also on consumer attitudes and their willingness to adopt M-commerce services. As well, other complex cross-cultural factors-socially, economically, culturally, et cetera-enter strongly into the equation.

본 연구는 소비자가 실제 제품이나 브랜드 사용 이외에 광고나 판매촉진 등 기업의 마케팅활동에 의해서도 브랜드를 경험할 수 있고 이러한 경험을 통하여 자아인식과 소비자-브랜드관계가 향상될 수 있음을 밝히고자 하였다. 총 248명을 대상으로 갤럭시S 스마트폰 브랜드에 대한 조작물로 브랜드를 경험하게 한 결과 브랜드경험 이후 긍정적 감정과 자아인식이 향상되었고, 긍정적 감정 또한 자아인식을 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 실제 브랜드를 이용하여 브랜드경험이 자아인식에 미치는 효과를 검증하였다는 점에서 중요하다. 또한 브랜드경험과 이를 통한 자아인식의 향상은 소비자-브랜드관계에 유의한 영향을 미치게 되며 궁극적으로 만족도, 추천의도 및 재구매 의도 등을 포함하는 브랜드 애호도까지 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 강력하고 매력적인 브랜드를 경험하는 것은 소비자에게 긍정적 감정의 형성이라는 혜택을 줄 수 있으며, 기업차원에는 소비자-브랜드관계를 통하여 구매의도 및 추가지불의도에까지 영향을 미칠 수 있는 관계를 밝혀낸 점이 주목할 만하다.

The disconfirmation paradigm is the earliest researched and the most deeply researched of all the paradigms in marketing. Disconfirmation paradigm deals with the influence of expectation, perceived product performance, and the discord between the two on consumer satisfaction. The GAP-Model is based on the disconfirmation paradigm that tries to understand the effect of the gap between before purchase expectations and after purchase perceptions of the product performance on dependent variables such as customer satisfaction. The purpose of this research is to test whether regression coefficients of a P-Model(performance only model), an E-Model(expectation only model) and GAP(P-E)-Model are equivalent in explaining service value and loyalty. The Chow's F-Test is used to test the excellence of the 3 models. As a result of comparison and analysis, P-Model showed more excellence of service value and loyalty than E-Model or GAP-Model.

The importance of the net-based customer service in delivering supplementary after-sale services associated with product has been well documented. The strategic advantages of a well-implemented the net-based customer service are enhanced customer loyalty and higher lock-in of customers, and the resulting reduction in competition and the consequent increase in profits. However, not all customers utilize such the net-based customer service. This is partly due to the e-commerce divide, and partly due to privacy and security concerns of the customer for sharing personal information with firms. The limited level of customer adoption of the net-based customer service affects the firm profits and the customers' welfare. We use a game-theoretic model in which we model the net-based customer service system as a mechanism to enhance customers' loyalty. We find that an increase in adoption of the net-based customer service by the customer base is not always desirable for firms. and that customers who utilize such services are better off only when the overall adoption is limited.

In addition, the results of the SEM analysis show that brand attitude leads to brand loyalty, while also showing a direct and indirect positive effect on purchase intention. Furthermore, the multi-group analysis reveals significant differences in SEM among countries such as the United States, China, and France.

This paper investigates how firms increase customer acceptance of self-service technologies in retail, and the impact of self-efficacy on customer experience, satisfaction, and loyalty. We conducted our empirical research by administering 308 questionnaires to customers of self-service convenience stores in China. We employed a structural equation model to analyze the relationship between service quality, revisit intention, and word of mouth. The results indicate that perceived service quality significantly influences customer satisfaction, with the service quality of self-service retail and experience value being important factors in consumer acceptance of self-service retail stores. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between customer experience value, satisfaction, and loyalty, and found that self-service retail stores exert a significant impact on perceived self-efficacy. Informed by the research on customer acceptance of self-service technologies in retail, promoting further development of self-service retail technologies can effectively aid companies in generating profit while offering more convenience to customers.

우리나라의 식문화는 크게 변화하고 있는데, 그 중에서 외식화는 가장 대표적인 것이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 변화의 요인에는 외식 기회의 확대와 소비자 욕구의 다양화, 소비의식 및 소비내용의 변화, 가처분소득의 증가, 여성의 사회진출 등의 요소와 더불어 여러 가지 관련된 산업이 발전한 데 그 원인을 찾아 볼 수 있다. 이러한 상황속에서 패스트 푸드 업계는 다소 성장이 둔화된 반면 패밀리 레스토랑과 테이크 아웃 커피 업계는 매장을 늘리는 계획을 세우고 있으며, 매출을 점차 확대시키려는 공격적인 경영을 하고 있는 추세라 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 첫째, 커피 전문점 시장에서 소비자의 브랜드 개성과 만족도가 커피전문점 브랜드 신뢰, 브랜드 감정, 브랜드 일체감, 브랜드 애호도형성에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지에 대하여 살펴보려 한다. 둘째, 선호하는 커피전문점의 종류와 경험 횟수, 그리고 라이프 스타일에 따라 커피전문점에서 소비자의 브랜드 개성과 만족도가 신뢰, 감정과 브랜드 일체감, 충성도 형성에 미치는 영향이 어떻게 달라지는지에 대하여 살펴보고 이와 관련된 전략을 수립하고자 한다. 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 브랜드개성과 고객 만족도는 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 고객 만족도와 브랜드 신뢰의 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 고객 만족도와 브랜드 감정의 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 브랜드 신뢰도와 브랜드 일체감의 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 브랜드 감정과 브랜드 일체감의 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 여섯째, 브랜드 일체감과 브랜드 충성도의 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 얻을 수 있는 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 브랜드 충성도를 형성시키기 위한 방안으로 브랜드 개성의 차원을 제시 하여 그 영향력을 유의함을 밝혔다는 점이다. 따라서 브랜드 충성도를 형성할 수 있는 적절한 브랜드 개성을 개발해야 하는 필요성에 대한 시사점을 제공하고 있다. 둘째, 커피 전문점을 이용하는 소비자들은 브랜드 개성의 차원과 고객 만족도의 관계를 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 브랜드 일체감고 브랜드 충성도의 영향관계는 기존의 선행 연구들의 이론들을 뒷받음을 못 하고 있다.
