  • The purpose of the research is (1) to identify the usage of Quick Response technologies (QRT) by apparel retailers and the improvement of store attributes by QRT, and (2) to test a conceptual model which examines Consumer Satisfaction(CS) with apparel retail stores. A convenience sample of 32 retailers and 200 apparel consumers participated in the survey research. The most used technology is sales captured at the item level and the store attribute most improved by QRT is fast turnaround of goods. Disconfirmation(DC) (i.e., QRT based, non-QRT based attributes) had significant effects on CS with apparel retail stores. DC of QRT based attributes (e.g. reduced stockout) have more influence on CS than DC of non-QRT based attributes (e.g., location of store).

  • 현대의 급변하는 환경 하에서 다양한 고객의 욕구를 총족시켜야 하는 기업으로서는 기업성장에 관련된 전략을 끊임없이 수립하여야 한다. 특히 기존 시장 및 새로운 시장에 대해 지속적으로 소비자의 욕구 및 기업의 목적 등에 어느 정도 기여하는 가를 반드시 평가하여야 한다. 효과적인 시장의 선정은 기업의 목표를 달성하는 데 필요한 시장을 유지하게 할 뿐 아니라 기업의 가용자원을 사업과정에서 할당할 수 있게 해준다. 본 연구에서는 기업의 시장 평가와 선정을 위한 모형을 구축하였다. 기존 시장선정모형에서는 시장 성장률, 판매 수익, 현금 흐름 등과 같은 속성들의 단일 목표에 대한 최적해를 구하고자 하였다. 그러나 기업의 의사결정과정은 여러 상충하는 목적들을 동시에 고려하는 경우가 대부분이기 때문에 이러한 상황에 적합한 다목표 지향적인 수리모형 구축의 필요성이 제시되었다. 또한 제공되는 데이터의 불명확성과 여러 목적들을 동시에 고려할 경우 발생할 수 있는 의사결정자의 열망수준과 그 만족정도를 반영하기 위해 본 연구에서는 퍼지집합을 적용한 3 유형의 다목적계획모형을 제시하였다. 최소연산자 모형, 가중치 다목적계획 모형 및 선제우선순위 다목적계획모형의 구축 후, 설례를 통해 그 적용가능성을 알아보았다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라가 경제불황으로 인하여 국내 산업전반에 걸쳐 구조조정을 실시하게 되었음에도 불구하고, 구조조정을 효율적으로 수행하기 위한 구조조정 관리모형이나 구조조정 영향변수 등 선행연구가 전무한 상태였다. 그래서 우리나라 현실에 맞는 구조조정 관리모형을 도출하는데 있다. 이러한 목적올 달성하기 위해 구조조정관련 영향변수와 그리고 이들 변수와 마케팅 성과간의 관계를 검증하고자 한다. 이론적 배경으로는 구조조정 전략 영향변수로 구조조정전 성과, 사전구조조정 경험, 외부압력, 그리고 변화에 대한 저항 정도를 탐색하고, 그리고 구조조정 전략실행강도에 영향을 주는 인적자원의존도, 관리적 강도, 그리고 마케팅 성과에 대해 탐색했다. 실증분석을 통해 얻은 구조조정 관리모형은 인력감소, 사전구조조정 경험, 변화에 대한 저항정도가 구조조정전략 실행강도에 영향을 미치며, 이는 다시 관리적 강도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 관리적 강도는 마케팅 성과에 영향을 주는 요인으로 발견되었다.

  • 소비시장은 소비자들의 변화에 따라 함께 변천한다. 다가오는 21세기에는 소득수준의 향상과 다원화사회가 이룩되면서 소비자들의 라이프스타일과 소비행태도 새롭게 형성될 전망이다. 이는 21세기 소비자행태와 소비시장변화를 소득수준의 향상과 이에 따른 가치관의 변화, 자유시간의 증대, 신소비계층의 출현 등의 변수를 통해 예측된다. 최근, 사회 경제적으로 이루어지는 급격한 변화 등으로 소비자들의 라이프스타일이 다양화되면서 소비자들의 관광지 선택행동에서 변화를 가져오고 있다. 과거 저가격위주의 관광을 하던 관광자들이 점차 그들의 생활의 질을 추구하기 위해서 좀 더 많은 비용을 지불하고서도 보다 매력적인 관광지를 방문하는 것이 이러한 변화의 한 예라 할 수 있겠다. 관광자가 관광지를 선택하는 과정은 기본적으로 소비자의 점포선택이나 제품에 대한 선택과정과도 동일하다고 볼 수 있다. 왜냐하면 점포선택에 있어서 기본적으로 제기되는 소비자의 라이프스타일 유형이나 관광지선택에 따른 관광자 라이프스타일 유형의 선택속성은 그 구성면에서 유사하기 때문이다. 관광자 행동특성에 따른 라이프스타일 유형연구는, 다양화되어 가는 생활양식에 기인하여 관광지 선택행동의 연구에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

  • Product quality of perishable food is significantly affected by the environment. Technological approaches for tracking and tracing such products have attracted increasing attentions in both research and practice. This paper studies how supermarket can maximize profits of selling perishable food through price adjustment based on real-ime product quality and values. This can be achieved by tracing the value of the perishable food based on an automatic product identification technology Radio Frequency Identification(RFID). With the support of the RFID, an optimization model can be developed to enable product tracking and tracing. The analysis of the model shows promising benefits of applying a dynamic pricing policy and obtains the optimal ordering decision in the respect of deterministic demand function.

  • Less than 3% of India's food basket, consists of processed food, therefore processed food can be viewed as an innovation or new product to Indian consumers. This research investigates the effects of product familiarity and reference groups on Indian consumers' attitudes and purchase behavior of new processed food products. For the study, the model is developed by modifying Cambel and Goodstein's (2001) "Moderate Incongruity Effect" to include important cross-cultural influences on attitudes and purchase decisions among Indian consumers. Empirical analysis was conducted through structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM results indicated that reference group influence has a stronger positive effect on consumers' attitudes and actual purchase behavior of more familiar processed foods than of less familiar processed food. In addition, attitudes have a stronger positive effect on consumers' actual purchase of more familiar than of less familiar processed foods.

  • With the steady rise in global popularity of the Korean music group BTS, the South Korean government and surrounding industries have swiftly begun utilizing their image and international recognition for specific nation branding purposes. While K-pop soft power strategies are not novel to the South Korean state, what is new is the rapid speed at which BTS have become a beacon for South Korean culture, language, and symbolism in the international arena. However, few scholarly works have sought to investigate the role fans have played in this heightened position for the group as state representatives, with minimal research conducted into the work fans do within the framework of ARMY fan culture. This paper will thus aim to fill the gap in scholarship on ARMY as an organized labour network, focusing on the role fans play as labourers in online spaces that work to promote, disseminate, and cultivate wider recognition for BTS as artists. Through the conjunct engagement of a political economy framework and theories of participatory culture, this paper will explore the manner through which the free labour of ARMY, premised on affect, has constructed the fandom as active agents of soft power alongside BTS themselves.

  • Companies are increasingly performing corporate social responsibility (CSR) as part of their strategic plans, but the effect of CSR activities on short-term financial performance is disputed. Researchers have found ambiguous relationships through mediating factors, but few studies have investigated internal stakeholders in this context and the firm characteristics that moderate these relationships. This study uses a competitive mediating model that examines job satisfaction as a mediator in the relationship between CSR and short-term financial performance for Korean companies. For the analysis, data from 195 companies covering 2014 to 2017 were collected and analyzed via panel regression. The findings indicate that CSR activities had a negative effect on short-term financial performance but a positive effect on job satisfaction; however, the larger the firm, the smaller the positive effect of CSR activities. Moreover, job satisfaction positively affects short-term financial performance, and this relationship is stronger in service firms.

  • In this research, two studies show that the bodily experience of holding objects in the hand is tied to the mental concept of acquiring material wealth. Holding objects in the hand (a) increased people's desires for possessing fairly luxurious goods (Study 1) and (b) made people judge a controversial issue (e.g., "sweatshops" run by global companies) more favorably based on wanting to generate more wealth for individuals and society rather than on humanitarian concerns (Study 2). These results provide evidence that the bodily experience not only helps to represent an abstract concept but also can shape attitude and judgment congruent with the metaphor represented in the bodily experience.

  • This study compares the ethical inclination regarding consumer misbehaviors from two countries with contrasting cultural characteristics. National samples of South Korean and American adults provided their perceptions of the appropriateness of 12 ethically questionable consumer actions. The scenarios ranged from illegal actions, such as fraudulently inflating one's losses when filing an insurance claim to legal, yet questionable, actions such as purchasing an item that the buyer recognizes as having been mispriced. The 12 scenarios exhibited a wide range of mean responses in both countries, thereby supporting the oft-stated premise that consumer ethics is a situational phenomenon. Findings indicate not only where the cultures diverge but also where they converge towards a degree of congruence. Plausible explanations for differences based upon cultural dynamics are provided.
