Purpose: Social Network Sites(SNS) have been grown up as a public communication channel consumer frequently participate in. Most of food service brands are utilizing social media for advertising recently. As a result of SNS marketing, food service brands anticipate positive outputs from SNS engagement and consumer brand engagement so that we need to verify structural relationship among SNS characteristics, SNS engagement and consumer brand engagement. Research design, data, and methodology: This study identifies that SNS characteristics have effects on SNS engagement and examines relationship between SNS engagement and behavioral engagement. We conceptualize SNS characteristics as information quality, hedonic level and interaction. Furthermore, SNS engagement is composed of SNS participation, positive word of mouth(WOM). In order to verify the purposes of this research, research model and hypotheses were developed. All constructs were measured with multiple items developed and tested in the previous studies. Sample data were collected from 433 online survey panels and analyzed by using SmartPLS 3.2.9. Result: The findings of this research are as follows. First, information quality is positively related with SNS participation. Hedonic level and interaction have impacts on SNS participation and positive WOM respectively. Second, SNS participation has positive effects on positive WOM. Third, both SNS participation and WOM influence behavioral engagement respectively. Conclusions: The implications demonstrate that SNS characteristics such as information quality and hedonic level and interaction exert effects for consumer to participate in SNS brand page. Meanwhile, hedonic level and interaction influence on positive WOM but information quality doesn't. SNS participation and positive WOM affect consumer to engage in specific brand behaviorally as well. Therefore, food service brand marketer is required to manage SNS information quality and hedonic level and interaction among members to encourage SNS participation and positive WOM. As SNS participation and positive WOM increases behavioral engagement of consumer, marketer needs to incentivize SNS participation and look after situation of positive WOM and respond swiftly.

Purpose: Waiting occured frequently in the service industry. Because waiting time is perceived as a loss by customers, perceived waiting time affects positive and negative responses to restaurants. If the waiting time is perceived as long, the waiting receptivity to accept the wait may also decrease. Therefore, restaurant stores need to increase waiting satisfaction so that customers can feel the waiting time shorter. Therefore, in this study, the effect of perceived waiting time and waiting satisfaction of customers visiting Taiwanese restaurant companies on waiting acceptability, emotions (positive and negative emotions) and satisfaction is investigated. Research design, data, and methodology: This study examines the structural relationship between perceived latency, waiting satisfaction, emotion, and satisfaction. To verify the purpose of this study, a research model and hypothesis were developed. The questionnaire items were modified and used according to the content of this study based on previous studies. All configurations were measured with multiple items tested and developed in previous studies. Data collected from 407 Taiwanese restaurant customers were analyzed using SPSS 22.0 and SmartPLS 3.0 programs. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to measure the reliability and effectiveness of the measurement tool. Structural model analysis was performed to validate the study model. Results: The study results are as follows. Perceived waiting time was found to have a positive effect on negative emotions. In addition, it was found that waiting acceptability had a negative effect on negative emotions, and had a positive effect on positive emotions and customer satisfaction. Positive emotions were found to have a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. Also, waiting satisfaction was found to have a positive effect as a moderating variable on the relationship between perceived waiting time and waiting acceptability. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, perceived waiting time was found to have a negative effect on eating out consumers. However, if the waiting time is satisfied, waiting time will increase the waiting time acceptability. Therefore, if customers are satisfied with the waiting environment by improving the quality of the waiting environment, it will be possible to establish a marketing ^*strategy^* that stimulates the positive effect of the perceived waiting time.

최근 들어 기업의 사회적 책임(CSR)에 관한 기업과 학자들의 관심이 갈수록 증대하고 있다. 기업의 사회적 책임의 속성 중 일반적으로 기업의 역할론을 집중적으로 조명하고 있다. 더욱이 국제표준화기구(ISO)가 기업의 실제적 규범으로ISO900, ISO1400을 지정한 후, 2010년 11월 ISO가 ISO26000을 기업의 사회적 책임의 새로운 가이드라인으로 선언하면서 그 중요성이 훨씬 증대되었다. 경제전환시대에 이르러, 중국에서도 기업의 사회적 책임에 관한 중요성이 날로 증가하고 있다. 2011년 중국사회과학원의 '중국기업의 사회책임에 관한 보고'에 의하면, 중국기업의 사회책임수준은 초기단계로서, 아직까지 낮은 수준에 머무르고 있다. 특히 베이징은 중국의 수도로서 정치, 문화, 국제, 중국내 교류 중심지로서, 중국에서 가장 큰 소매시장이 형성되었고, 세계 10대 소비도시로 소매기업이 꾸준히 발전하고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 베이징 소매기업에 대한 기업의 사회적 책임에 관한 관리모형에 대한 연구가 부족한 현실이다. 본 논문은 중국 및 베이징의 소매기업의 사회적책임에 관한 관리현황을 파악하였다. 그리고 정부주도하의 베이징의 소매기업의 사회적 책임 관리모형을 4개 측면에서 수립하였다. 또한 기업이 계속적인 경쟁력을 유지하기 위해 소매기업의 사회적 책임을 수행할 수 있도록 5가지 시행방안을 제안하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 수요자 관점의 커피 전문점 종사원을 위한 교육 프로그램은 어떤 교과목을 이수해야 하는지 알아보고자 현재 커피 관련 교과목을 개설한 대학의 외식경영, 외식 서비스, 커피 교과목에 대한 중요도와 수행도를 분석하는데 있다. 분석방법은 빈도분석과 T-test, IPA 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 첫째, 커피 관련 교과목에 대한 중요도와 수행도는 전체적으로 커피 전문점 종사원들이 인식하는 교육 교과목은 중요도 보다 수행도가 낮게 나타났다. 그 중에서 원가관리와 커피학 이론에서 큰 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 교육 교과목의 중요도와 수행도의 IPA 분석에서는 I사분면은 약점 항목으로 원가 관리, 외식마케팅, 커피학 이론 과목이 해당이 된다. II 사분면은 유지 항목으로 외식 서비스, 커피 추출 실습, 에스프레소, 카페라테와 카푸치노, 라떼아트 과목이 해당된다. III사분면은 필요성이 결여되는 과목들로 외식경영, 외식 프렌차이즈, 서비스 실무 영어, 커피 로스팅 과목이 해당된다. IV사분면은 중요도는 낮으나 수행도가 높은 과목들로 산업체 현장 실습 과목이 해당된다. 연구의 한계점으로는 선행 연구의 부족으로 인하여 커피 전문점 종사원의 특징적인 요소를 반영하지 못하였으며, 설문지역을 수도권으로 한정하였기 때문에 표본이 전체 커피 전문점을 대표했다고 할 수가 없다고 생각된다.

Franchising is one of the fastest growing types of business. It is already popular and well-known in the U.S., and has been growing in many other countries including Korea. Furthermore, many Korean franchising companies have expanded their business overseas actively. According to the data by the Ministry of Industry and Resource, 82 companies out of a sample of 500 franchising companies are already operating in many foreign countries and 48% of them have started their foreign business since 2006. This clearly indicates the fast growing current trend of foreign operation by Korean franchising companies. In spite of the fast growing trend of foreign expansion in the industry, academic research on internationalization of franchising companies is extremely difficult to find. Accordingly, academic research on the issue is necessary and urgent in Korea. Among the various research questions on internationalization of franchising business, this study intends to investigate the difference in organizational factors between the franchising companies doing foreign operation and those doing business only domestically. More specifically, this research has the following purposes. First, considering the lack of theoretical basis of previous studies, resource-based theory and agency theory are employed as the theoretical bases. Second, this study explains the difference in internationalization based on organizational factors such as company size, history and growth rate. Third, the five hypotheses regarding the difference in organizational factors are presented and tested empirically, which is the first attempt in the area of this topic. Finally, the study attempts to clarify the conflicting implications among theories regarding some organizational factos such as growth rate. As the theoretical background, resource-based theory and agency theory are discussed. According to resource-based theory, a firm can grow continuously when it has competence and resource, and also the ability to develop them. The competence and resource can include capital, human resource, management skill, market information, ability to manage risk, etc. Meanwhile, agency theory views the relationship between franchisor and franchisee as an agency relationship. In agency theory, bonding capability and monitoring capability are the two key factors which promote internationalization of franchising companies. Based on the two theories, a conceptual model is designed. The model consists of two groups of variables. One is organizational factors including size, history, growth rate, price bonding and geographic dispersion. The other is whether a franchising company is operating overseas or not. We developed the following five research hypotheses basically describing the relationship between organizational factors and internationalization of franchising companies. H1: The size of franchising companies operating overseas is larger than that of franchising companies operating domestically. H2: The history of franchising companies operating overseas is longer than that of franchising companies operating domestically. H3: The growth rate of franchising companies operating overseas is higher than that of franchising companies operating domestically. H4: The price bonding of franchising companies operating overseas is higher than that of franchising companies operating domestically. H5: The geographic dispersion of franchising companies operating overseas is wider than that of franchising companies operating domestically. Data for the analyses are obtained from 2005 Korea Franchise Survey data co-generated by Ministry of Industry and Resource, GS1 Korea, and Korea Franchise Association. Out of 2,804 population companies, 2,489 companies are excluded for various reasons and 315 companies are selected as the final sample. Prior to hypotheses tests, validity and reliability of the measures of size, history, growth rate and price bonding are examined for further analyses. Geographic dispersion is not validated since it is measured using nominal data. A series of independent sample T-tests is used to find out whether there exists any significant difference between the companies internationalized and those operating only domestically for each organizational factor. Among the five factors, size and geographic dispersion show significant difference, growth rate and price bonding do not reveal any difference and, finally, history factor shows conflicting results in the difference depending on how to measure it.
