B2B 시장에서 구매자와 판매자간의 관계는 매우 밀접하고 장기화되는 것이 특징이므로 결국 단순한 제품을 판매하는 것에 그치는 것이 아닌 지속적인 서비스에 대한 중요성이 날로 커지고 있다. 산업재 연구 전반에 걸쳐서도 서비스에 대한 중요성과 관심이 증대되면서 고객이 서비스를 사용하는데 있어서 그 서비스의 품질과 함께 최근 소비자들은 얼마나 빠르고 쉽게 서비스가 제공되어 투입되는 노력을 최소화시킬 수 있는가를 매우 중요하게 생각하기 때문에 편의성이 중요한 요인으로 고려되어지고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 산업재 시장에서 관계만족과 관계성과를 형성하는데 중요하게 생각할 수 있는 새로운 요인이 어떤 것인가 라는 의문점에서 출발하여, 서비스 편의성과 관계성과 사이의 구조적 관계를 조사하고자 하였다. 이 연구의 가장 큰 학문적 기여점은 산업재 연구에서 주류를 이루고 있는 관계품질과 관계성과의 새로운 선행요인을 검증한 것이다. 또한 소비재 시장에서 주로 연구되었던 서비스 편의성 척도를 산업재 시장에 적용하여 그 활용도를 실험해 보았다는 데 의의가 있다. 본 연구는 서비스 편의성의 구성요소인 서비스 편의성을 결정편의성, 접근편의성, 거래편의 성, 편익편의성, 사후편익편의성 다섯가지 차원으로 구분하고 관계적 요인인 관계만족에 미치는 영향과 이러한 관계만족이 관계몰입과 관계성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하여 서비스 편의성의 관리와 투자에 대한 마케팅 측면의 중요성을 제시하고 있다. 실증분석을 위해 산업재 서비스를 이용하고 있는 기업의 직원들을 대상으로 설문을 통해 데이터를 수집하였으며 서비스 편의성 ${\rightarrow}$ 관계만족 ${\rightarrow}$ 관계몰입 $\{rightarrow}$ 관계성과에 대한 인과적 구성모텔에 대해 구조방정식 모델분석으로 검증하였다. 구성모텔에 대한 분석결과 서비스 편의성을 구성하는 요소 중 접근편의성을 제외한 나머지 결정편의성, 거래편의성, 편익편의성, 사후편익편의성은 모두 관계적 요인들에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으며, 그 중 편익편의성이 관계적 요인에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 추가적으로 매개효과검증을 실시하여, 서비스 편의성과 관계성과의 관계를 살펴보는데 있어서, 서비스 편의성이 관계만족과 관계몰입을 통해서 관계성과에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 구조적 인 관계를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 높은 서비스 편의성에 대한 관리와 투자가 구매자로 하여금 관계에 만족하게 만들고 이렇게 형성된 관계만족은 관계에 몰입하게 하여 결과적으로는 관계성과를 가져올 수 있음을 시사한다.

Purpose - This study examines college students' perceived choice attributes in traditional markets and the relationship quality. We study the relationships between attributes that common people look for while choosing a store (e.g., product, service, advertising, and atmosphere), consumption emotion, consumer's value, and relationship quality. Research design, data, methodology - In order to verify the relationship between choice attributes and relationship quality, and moderating (i.e., consumption emotion) and mediating effects (i.e., customer value), we collected data from 202 consumers in Gyeonggi province to test the theoretical model and its hypotheses. For this purpose, this study, utilized an empirical methodology. Results - First, contrary to the previous research findings involving college students, this study observed that four factors of store choice attributes at a traditional market were important to consumers in heightening the relationship quality. Specifically, product (β = .608, p < .01), service (β = .351, p < .01), advertising (β = .237, p < .01), and atmosphere (β = .425, p < .01) are significantly related to relationship quality. Second, consumers selected product (β =. 521, p < .01) as the most important attribute. Atmosphere (β = .254, p < .01) and service division (β = .148, p < .05), in this order, are the other important factors in this regard. However, advertising (β = -.112, p = .100) is not statistically significant. To improve and develop the relationship quality with consumers, traditional markets should ensure supply of suitable products and goods, improve store atmosphere by modernizing facilities, and educate merchants to improve their services. Third, the results of the moderating effects, although marginally statistically significant, suggest that for the consumers with low consumption emotion for traditional markets, an affirmative experience of products and store atmosphere heightens their values. In addition, the consumers having low consumption emotion who could promote consumer values were found to improve and develop a marginally significant relationship quality. Finally, the study revealed that the consumer's value exhibited a complete mediation effect in the relationships between service and relationship quality, and advertising and relationship quality and a partial mediation effect in the relationships between product and relationship quality, and atmosphere and relationship quality. Conclusions - Consumer satisfaction is important to increase the competitiveness of traditional markets, and products and store atmosphere are important attributes to increase the relationship quality. Specifically, merchants should supply different products, modernize their facilities, and improve store atmosphere to compete in traditional markets. In addition, traditional markets should provide value and competitive prices to attract consumers, and should maximize the consumer's value and promote the consumption emotion. Traditional markets should evolve to accommodate changes in the consumer's value and invest in not only functional elements but also symbolic elements.

Single households currently account for 26.5% of all households and their number is expected to continue to rise, reaching 34.5% by 2035. An analysis of the consumption trends and needs of single households shows that they are rising as a new consumer group with a focus on investment on the individual and favouring: small but high-tech products: efficient use of limited resources: safety and peace of mind: self-improvement and leisure. Products which meet such demands are having an impact on the growth of home-furnishing market. An analysis of companies in Korea's home-furnishing market, with examples like the lifestyle company IKEA, shows a variety of brands such as SPA brand, furniture specialist, distributor and character products. And yet most are OEM products which lack differentiated product lines and compete with similar display and distribution structure. We needs the Single household consumption tendency of home-furnishing market and differentiation strategy through product analysis. In order to increase the value of companies in the home-furnishing market, in addition to differentiated design, product competitiveness must aspire to higher customer satisfaction with easy assembly, innovation in logistics, innovative sales methods such as virtual-reality simulation for products and space, individually-tailored furniture for the needs of single household and products which combine smart technology. For home-grown home-furnishing brands to have competitiveness, they must leverage on the strengths of the industry, offering differentiated and competitive products in a wider range of areas with convergence functions as well as differentiation in consumer interface and application of advancing technology; in-depth product research is called for.

In a fiercely competitive environment, quality is a key factor that enables dashboard camera makers to maintain their competitive advantage. Quality affects consumer satisfaction, brand loyalty, and firm performance. Therefore, to remain competitive, it is important that manufacturers maintain product quality that meets consumer expectations. To this end, it is necessary to investigate customer preferences and product performance in terms of product quality and to properly allocate resources to improve the quality level such that the firm can maintain a competitive advantage. In this paper, we proposed the various ways in which manufacturing firms can determine which quality dimensions need improvement in order to secure competitiveness. To this end, we analyzed a case study of Urive to develop a quality improvement strategy through importance performance competitor analysis (IPCA). Urive's IPCA results showed that 14 quality dimensions, namely performance, size, price, ease of use, country of origin, manufacturer, brand, product certificate, warranty, distribution channel, market share, reliability, durability, and conformance, were not absolutely competitive compared with those of Mando, Inavi, and Finevu. In terms of color, Urive had an absolute competitive advantage over Mando, but not Inavi and Finevu. Urive's appearance was more competitive than Mando's, but not Inavi's and Finevu's. In terms of advertisement and serviceability, Urive was absolutely less competitive than Mando and Inavi, but had a competitive advantage over Finevu. Therefore, it is necessary to put resources and time as the first priority for performance, reliability, and durability, which have a large performance difference in common among the three brands. The quality dimensions in which resources and time need to be put in second place are price and ease of use, which have a large performance difference in common among the two brands.

인터넷이 보편화되고 확산됨에 따라 클라우드 서비스가 급속히 확산되고 있다. SLA란 서비스 제공자와 고객 간의 협약으로 서비스 제공자가 서비스 품질을 보증하기 위한 방법이다. 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 SLA는 IT 서비스 제공자 입장에서 서비스 품질에 대한 고객만족도를 높이고 경쟁 사업자와의 차별화가 필요하므로 SLA를 통한 QoS 보장은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 그러나 클라우드 환경에서 SLA에 대한 연구는 아직 초기 단계에 머물고 있다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 서비스를 위한 SLA 관리 지표를 정의하고, 이를 이용하여 QoS 보장을 위한 SLA 관리시스템을 구현하였다. 제안하는 SLA 관리시스템은 오픈소스를 이용한 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 모니터링 기반의 Migration 정책을 사용하여 Cluster Node들의 부하 분산이 할당된 가상머신들의 가용성, 응답시간, 처리율에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하고, 기존 클라우드 환경과 비교 분석하였다.

Purpose - The goals of this study are the following. First, this study focused on customer satisfaction of in-flight service. Specifically, in-flight duty free items were considered because of their potential value related with the differentiated strategy of airline companies. Second, this study analyzed feasible strategies that would fence off the aversive attitudes of consumers toward innovation regarding in-flight duty free items. Third, this study strived to discover implicit routes related with the reactions of of consumers to innovation. Fourth, the construal level theory was applied to the context of in-flight service. Psychological distance is expected to promote acceptance of innovation for duty free items. Research design, data, and methodology - This study consisted of three experiments. All data were collected through the participation of university students. First, the experiment employed a 2×2 between-subject design. The first independent variable was temporal distance (long vs. short of navigation time). The second independent variable was innovativeness (innovative duty free items vs. typical items). Further, experiment 2 involved a 2×2 between-subject design. The first independent variable was social distance (typical vs. atypical stewardess image). The second was innovativeness that was based on a pattern similar to that of the prior experiment. The third experiment involved a 2×2×2 design. The first and second independent variables were temporal distance and item innovation, respectively, based on the method of experiment 1. The third independent variable was cognitive depletion (depletion vs. control condition). Results - Experiment 1 demonstrated that the innovation of duty free items would need to consider the journey time of the airline. Specifically, innovative items were preferred in case of a long journey; typical items, however, were liked in a short journey. Further, experiment 2 demonstrated that, in spite of a short journey, innovative items would be preferred if an atypical stewardess was serving. An atypical stewardess was linked with social distance, and the psychological effects would activate a creative and flexible mindset that would fit with innovative duty free items. The final experiment was accomplished for the examination of cognitive processing of psychological distance on innovation-acceptance. Specifically, if the effects were related with systematic processing, then cognitive effort would be needed. In contrast, if they were related with heuristic processing, then such efforts would not be required. The same pattern appeared under both cognitive depletion and control condition; therefore, the effects of psychological distance were implied to be heuristic processing. Conclusions - Managers need to consider the navigation time, stewardess concepts, and depletion of consumers as important factors for innovative strategy regarding in-flight service. Longer journeys are more successful for innovative trials. Further, a more atypical stewardess image is more successful for atypical service. Long navigation and unfamiliar stewardesses may activate creative and flexible thinking. Further, cognitive depletion of consumers is not a dominant factor of psychological distance effects, because the effects are not related with systematic processing, but with heuristic processing.

Purpose - It is widely accepted that the process of developing marketing strategy is composed of three steps: market segmentation, target market selection and positioning. However, mass marketing strategy based on cost reduction through economies of scale and standardized products, can be also an effective strategic option. Many marketing scholars including Theodore Levitt emphasize the importance of applying the mass production concept to various industries including service industries. Especially, in times of economic downturn, the capability of providing consumers with low-priced, value products can be an important source of competitive advantage, as well as the ability of providing high-priced premium products. Marketers should decide whether they will implement mass marketing strategy or target marketing strategy. The present study theoretically shows that firms should understand the target customers' price elasticity as well as the firm's cost structure in order to make such a strategic decision. Research design, data, and methodology - Instead of implementing an empirical study, this study provides a theoretical(mathematical) investigation on the effect of consumers' price elasticity on a firm's optimal price level, profit, sales volume, revenue, and cost. The results are mostly deduced from derivative calculations and several graphs are utilized to represent the results on the relationships between the variables under study. Results - The analytical results suggest that it is more profitable for a firm to adopt the segment/target marketing strategy (more specifically the differentiation strategy) when the degree of consumers' heterogeneity is high and the proportion of the fixed cost in the total cost is low. On the other hand, if the degree of consumers' heterogeneity is low and the fixed cost is high, it is better to adopt the mass marketing strategy or the cost leadership strategy. The strategy of concentrating on a single target market will be effective when consumers' needs are highly heterogeneous but the fixed cost is high. Any of the three types of generic strategies proposed my Porter(1980, 1985) can be applied when both the consumers' heterogeneity and the fixed cost are low. This study also proposes the contribution-margin-based method for developing the optimal pricing strategy. Conclusions - One of the primary roles of marketers is to find a proper compromise between the two conflicting goals of maximizing customer satisfaction and minimizing cost. In order to do so, he or she should understand the characteristics of the target customers as well as the cost structure of the firm. In addition to the theoretical analyses, this study discusses several business cases and explains how superior companies find the optimal compromise position between these two goals and dominate the market. One of the radical changes recently taking place in business arena is the reduction of production and distribution costs of both physical goods and information due to the advancement and the wide diffusion of information technology. The cost reduction combined with lowered priced elasticity incurred by customized products and services, will enable many firms to adopt the mass customization strategy.
