본 연구는 MIM(Mobile Instant Messenger) 서비스에서 소비자들이 구매하는 이모티콘 번들의 구성을 개인이 선택 가능토록 하는 맞춤화(customization)를 하는 것에 대한 소비자들의 반응을 설문을 통해 확인함으로써, 이모티콘 시장에서 맞춤 번들링이 유효한 마케팅 전략인지를 증명하고자 한다. 현재 국내 MIM 서비스에서 이용되는 이모티콘은 순수 번들링의 형태이다. 이에 따라 이모티콘 번들 내에 포함된 모든 이모티콘을 사용하지 않음에도 필요한 이모티콘만 따로 구입이 불가능하기 때문에 어쩔 수 없이 번들 전체를 구입해야 한다. Hitt and Chen (2005)과 Wu and Anandalingam (2002)은 소비자가 순수 번들링에 포함된 제품 및 서비스 중 일부만 가치있게 생각한다면 맞춤 번들링이 훨씬 수익성이 좋음을 증명하여 순수 번들링의 대안으로서 제시한 바 있다. 맞춤 번들링은 한계비용이 0에 가까운 상품일 때 적합한데, 이모티콘과 같은 정보재의 경우 이러한 조건을 충족한다. 반면, 맞춤 번들링은 선택 가능한 옵션을 증가시키기 때문에 복잡성의 문제를 낳을 수 있고(Blecker et al., 2004), 소비자는 정보의 과부화를 겪게 될 수도 있다(Huffman & Kahn, 1998). 따라서 맞춤 번들링 도입 필요성에 대한 판단은 상품의 특성 및 소비자들의 반응에 대한 실증적 분석을 통해 이루어질 필요가 있다. 설문조사를 통해 얻은 자료를 분석한 결과, 맞춤 번들링을 도입하였을 때, 소비자들의 구매의도와 지불의 사금액은 유의하게 증가하였다. 맞춤 번들에 대한 구매의도는 기존 순수 번들에 대한 구매의도보다 리커트 5점척도 기준으로 0.44 정도가 증가하였다. 구매의도의 증가 정도는 기존에 순수 번들을 구매한 경험의 유무에 따른 차이가 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 기존에 순수 번들 구매 경험이 없는 그룹의 경우는 50% 정도의 응답자가 맞춤 번들의 구매의향을 밝힌 것으로 확인되었다. 반면 구매 경험이 있는 그룹에서는 87% 응답자가 구매의향을 밝힌 것으로 나타났다. 지불의사금액은 전체 그룹에서 기존 이모티콘 가격 대비 약 2.8% 증가하였다. 기존 구매경험에 따라 분류하여 분석하면, 구매 경험이 있는 그룹에서는 5.9% 증가하였고 구매 경험이 없는 그룹은 기존 가격 대비 약 5%가 싸다면 살 의향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 종합적으로 이모티콘 번들에 맞춤 번들링을 도입하는 것은 소비자의 긍정적 반응을 이끌어낼 수 있으며, 실무적으로도 유효한 마케팅 전략이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Broadcast-telecommunication bundling services provide customized services and reduce household telecommunication costs, contributing to the improvement of users' welfare. However, following the recent fierce competition of broadcast-telecommunication providers, the Korea Communications Commission, an organization that regulates promotional gifts and fee-reduction benefits to attract subscribers, has imposed a series of regulations. The excessive offering of promotional gifts can distort fair market competition and damage users. Yet if all bundling services are regulated uniformly, some benefits for users may be reduced, and the autonomous marketing competition of service providers may be restricted, thereby shrinking the entire communications market. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate domestic and foreign regulations on promotional gifts and other offerings related to broadcast-telecommunication bundling services, to analyze problems with respect to the current regulations and to propose an improvement plan. The study asserts that it is necessary to improve the violation decision criteria of the Korea Communications Commission and its regulations on broadcast-telecommunication service providers' promotional gifts in order to regulate the bundling services reasonably. In addition, it proposes a proper regulation of the OTS(Olleh TV Skylife) product, a new service emerging in the evolution of the bundling service type.

Purpose - A product bundling is a marketing approach where multiple products or components are packaged together into one bundle solution. This paper aims to introduce an optimal bundle search problem (hereinafter called "OBSP") which may be embedded with online recommendation system to provide an optimized service considering pairwise discount and delivery cost. Research design, data, and methodology - Online retailers have their own discount policy and it is time consuming for online shoppers to find an optimal bundle. Unlike an online system recommending one item for each search, the OBSP considers multiple items for each search. We propose a mathematical formulation with numerical example for the OBSP and analyzed the complexity of the problem. Results - We provide two results from the complexity analysis. In general case, the OBSP belongs to strongly NP-Hard which means the difficulty of the problem while the special case of OBSP can be solved within polynomial time by transforming the OBSP into the minimum weighted perfect matching problem. Conclusions - In this paper, we propose the OBSP to provide a customized service considering bundling price and delivery cost. The results of research will be embedded with an online recommendation system to help customers for easy and smart online shopping.

To analyze the applications of all types of mechanical systems, general purpose analysis programs have been developed and commercialized. However, it is customary to develop and use customized programs even though they sometimes require more work than a general purpose program. A customized program is simplified to adapt to a particular application from the beginning, is designed for small computers, and developed with hardware-in-the-loop in mind so it can be applied effectively. By adding design knowledge and bundling know-how to an analysis program, analysis time can be reduced. And because an analysis has to work in conjunction with other analysis programs, a proprietary program that the user can easily modify can be useful. In this thesis, a multi-body dynamics analysis system is presented using one of the most useful programming techniques, object-oriented concept. The object-oriented concept defines a problem from the physical world as an abstract object, an abstract model. The object becomes encapsulated with the data and method. Simulation is performed using the object's interface. It is then possible for the user and the developer to modify and upgrade the program without having particular knowledge of the analysis program. The method presented in this thesis has the following advantages. Since the mechanical components of the multi-body system converts independent modeling into a class, the modification, exchange, distribution, and reuse of elements are increased. It becomes easier to employ a new analysis method and interface with other S/W and H/W systems. To employ a new analysis method, there is no need to modify elements of the main solver and the Library. In addition, information can be communicated to each object through messaging. It makes the modeling of new elements easier using inheritance. When developing a S/W for the computer simulation of physical system, it is reasonable to use object-oriented modeling. Also, for multi-body dynamics analysis, it is possible to develop a solver that is user-oriented.
