Purpose: Previous literature shows that a price promotion serves as a negative cue of product quality especially when consumers have no additional information about the product's other attributes. In this research, we explore how the effect of price promotions on consumers' perceptions of product quality changes depending on their ability to compare promoted product attributes with competitive products' attributes. Research design, data and methodology: Specifically, we use a series of scenario-based lab experiments using different types of products and explore if attribute alignability among competing products in a consumer's choice set influences consumers' ability to compare the product attributes and perceived quality. Results: Our study findings show that high attribute alignability among products makes consumers easier to compare the product attributes and thereby focus more on non-price information than price information. We also show that attribute alignability serves as a moderator and decreases perceived quality when the promotion level is higher. Therefore, the attribute alignability weakens the negative impact of a price promotion on consumers' perceived product quality. Conclusions: Our study findings provide new insights on how to implement price promotion strategies while keeping products' perceived quality, by considering the product's relationships with competing products in a choice set.

The healthcare business is growing as a global core business because of the phenomenon of global aging, as well as in South Korea, skyrocketing health care costs accordingly, and changing the paradigm from treatment to the prevention-centered medical service. Especially, as the digital healthcare service stands out as a solution, major countries actively promote and support policies at the government level. Thus, this study will present attributes of a market-oriented service that would vitalize the digital healthcare service industry by investigating major attributes of the digital healthcare service. To analyze the relationships of the influences of attributes, this study used Interpretive Structural Modeling. As a result of literature research and ISM, this study can understand the eight basic attributes of the digital healthcare service (network scalability, context awareness, connection among information platforms, cost, trust, security, ease of use, usefulness) and analyze the relationships of the influences among the attributes. In addition, as this study finds some significant differences in Order Winner and Order Qualifier between the experts' group (security) and the users' group (trust, ease of use, usefulness), It provides meaningful implications for revitalization and promotion of digital healthcare service industry.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop and validate Detailed Clinical Models (DCMs) for pain assessment in nursing. Methods: First, we identified the entities of pain assessment from ICNP. We identified the attributes and values of the attributes to describe the entities in more detail by reviewing the literature. Data types and optionalities of the attributes were defined. Second, we modeled the DCMs by linking an entity and its corresponding attributes with values and by specifying the data types and optionalities of the attributes. Finally, the DCMs were validated by a group of domain experts using a content validity index. Results: In total, 19 DCMs with 11 attributes for pain assessment were developed. The experts' evaluations showed that the DCMs were valid enough to represent pain related information of nursing assessment. Conclusion: The DCMs developed in this study can be used in electronic nursing records. The DCMs for pain can ensure the semantic interoperability of pain related information in electronic nursing records.

Constructive induction is a technique to draw useful attributes from given primitive attributes to classify given examples more efficiently. Useful attributes are obtained from given primitive attributes by applying appropriate operators to them. The paper proposes a constructive induction approach for a GA-based inductive learning environment that learns classification rules that ate similar to rules used in PROSPECTOR from given examples. The paper explains our constructive induction approach in details, centering on operators to combine primitive attributes and methods to evaluate the usefulness of derived attributes, and presents the results of various experiments performed to evaluate the effect of our constructive induction approach on the GA-based learning environment.

This study investigates the impact of fashion product attributes and mobile shopping mall attributes on impulse buying behavior and mobile shopping satisfaction. The findings provide new information to marketers on marketing strategy for mobile shopping malls. We obtained 283 usable questionnaires from college students. Data were analyzed by frequency analysis, correlation analysis, factor analysis using SPSS for Window 21.0 and confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model analysis by AMOS 21.0. The results were as follows. The utility of fashion products attributes had the greatest impact on impulse buying behavior when buying fashion products in a mobile mall. Utility had a negative effect on impulsive buying behavior and exhibitionistic had a positive effect on impulsive buying behavior. Next, continuous management of mobile shopping mall attributes influenced impulse buying behavior. In addition, impulse buying behavior showed that the positive effect on satisfaction. Fashion product attributes had a greater impact on impulsive buying behavior than mobile mall properties when buying fashion products in the mobile mall; in addition, impulse buying facilitated customer satisfaction.
