An IPA model was used to evaluate customer service encounters at a large food court; also the gaps between importance and performance from were also evaluated from both perspectives. The findings of this study will be applied in order to improve service quality at various large food service operations. A total of 298 customers from a large shopping mall food court completed the study questionnaire, asking them to evaluate the important and performance attributes of service. Seven underlying dimensions were identified and labeled by factor analysis: factor 1 was "safety": factor 2 "time": factor 3 "atmosphere": factor 4 "quality of food": factor 5 "menu attributes": factor 6 "comfort": and the last and seventh factor was "comprehension". As a result of IPA analysis the overall mean scores between the importance attributes and performance attributes showed significant differences by independent t-tests(p<0.001). Quadrant I was classified with unnecessary items including interior design, proper lighting, suitable chairs, and proper room temperature. In quadrant II thirteen variables showed high scores for both importance and performance, such as various menu choices, hygienic food, dishes, chairs, food court, kitchen, and employees; proper ventilation, employee kindness, waiting time to order, and received food; automatic system for ordering-serving. Quadrant III included eight variables identified as low priority, including appearance of food, nutrient content of food, proper portions, new menu, proper music, proper location of cashier, services for children and efficiency of movement. In quadrant IV six variables were included as areas to focus management's efforts, such as food taste, proper food temperature, use of safe food materials, maintenance of food quality, existence of preferred foods, and proper food prices. These results suggest that food court customers have interests that are distinct from restaurant customers and may need to be treated differently. It is anticipated that this data will be useful to the foodservice industry in order to segment customer characteristics by different dinning behaviors.

The measurement and management of patient satisfaction has become one of the key issues in the last two decades. Hospitals must thoroughly understand the needs of their customers and design products and health services that meet and exceed their expectations. The importance-performance analysis(IPA) is a widely used analytical technique that yields strategies for managing customer satisfaction in a variety of applications. IP A is a two-dimensional grid based on customer-perceived importance of quality attributes and attribute performance. Depending on the interplay of these two dimensions, four strategies can be derived. The aim of this study is to develop the management strategies for improving patient satisfaction in university hospitals using the I-P analysis. The attributes on inpatient service quality in 4 university hospitals was investigated using the Martilla and James(l977)' s a mean adjusted I-P grid where the axes of the grid cross at the average rating point of all items. The patient satisfaction questionnaires were completed by 600 hospital inpatients. The main statistical methods are path analysis and IPA with SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 4.0 statistical softwares. The two attributes, physician and medical service, administrative staff kindness attributes position in first quadrant(Keep Up the Good domain). The nurse and nursing service attributes position in second quadrant(Possible Overkill domain). The two attributes, convenience of check-in service, facilities and physical environment position in third quadrant(Low Priority domain). Finally the quality of inpatient service(food etc.) attributes position in fourth quadrant(Concentrate Here domain). These findings show various implications on the development of strategies in university hospitals in the future. It was determined that quality of inpatient service(food etc.) need to concentrate more on investments. These investments include a taste, price, proper provision of food service and quick response of pain management. A low priority was given to investment in streamlining the check-in process of inpatient and hospital facilities and physical environment in the long run.

외식의 관심도가 높아지면서 지역경제의 활성화전략으로 외식이벤트를 적극적으로 활용하면서 대부분의 외식이벤트 주체자는 참여고객의 만족에 초점을 두기보다는 대외 홍보와 언론노출이 용이한 일회성 이벤트와 광고에 치중하고 있는 것에 대해서 문제의식과 필요성을 가지고 탐색적인 차원에서 외식이벤트 주최자의 중요 점과 진행후의 성취도, 외식이벤트 참여자가 중요하게 생각하며 참여 후에 느끼는 만족도를 IPA분석 통해 연구하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 참여자와 진행 주최자의 양측 면에서 중요도와 만족도를 심도 있게 논외하고 외식 이벤트를 성공적으로 이끌기 위한 참여자와 주최자간의 차이를 밝히고자 함이며, 외식이벤트 주최자와 참여자간의 연구에서 제시된 자료를 토대로 외식이벤트에 대한 학문적 접근을 시도하고자 함에 있다. 이에 따른 연구방법으로는 서문지 작성으로 조사 시기는 2008년 5월 9일에서 10일까지 이틀에 걸쳐 이루어졌고 총 200매의 설문지가 배포되었으며 회수된 설문지는 176매로 88% 회수율을 보였으며 이중 불성실하거나 누락된 항목이 많은 설문지를 제외하고 분석에 사용된 설문지는 171부(85.5%)가 SPSS프로그램을 통하여 빈도분석(Frequency)과 기술 분석 (Descriptive Statistics), 대응표본 T-test(paired Samples)등을 실시하였고 중요도와 성취도의 IPA 그래프를 작성하기 위하여 IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis) 분석을 이용하였다. 연구의 결과는 외식이벤트 주최자는 새로움, 예약서비스, 가격, 조명, 고객수준이 유지되어야 한다고 나타났고 외식이벤트 참가자는 소스 맛 주최측서비스 수준, 주차 서비스, 예약 서비스, 고객수준은 유지되어야 한다고 나타났으며 불만족을 느끼는 것은 참가자는 '천연 조미료사용', '음식 맛', '세련된 분위기로 나타났으며 배경음악, 공간청결, 환송서비스, 주방장명성, 세련된 분위기로 나타났다. 결과적으로 주최자는 참여고객들이 불만족을 갖는 '천연 조미료사용' '음식 맛', '세련된 분위기를 보강하는데 노력을 하여야하며 보완 수정이 시급한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 '배경음악', '색다른 음식'은 참가자가 관심을 두지 않는 부분으로 나타났고 서비스과잉은 계산서비스, 환송 서비스로 나타났으므로 이에 따른 수정보완이 필요 시 된다.
