인삼에 관련된 수많은 연구에도 불구하고, 인삼을 경제, 경영학적 관점에서 다루는 논문은 부족한 편이다. 최근 인삼제품을 구매하는 원인을 경제학적으로 밝히려는 연구가 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구는 미시경제학적 관점에서 국제관광소비자의 인삼구매 요인을 실증적으로 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 설문자료를 통해 대한민국을 방문하는 국제 관광소비자가 인삼 및 인삼 관련 제품을 구매하는 형태를 실증적으로 조사하였다. 그 결과를 이용하여 인삼을 구매하는 데 영향을 미치는 결정요인을 다항 로지스틱 모형(multinomial logistic model)을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 다음과 같은 인삼 구매 결정요인을 발견하였다. 첫째, 경제적 요인은 인삼구매의 중요한 결정 요인이 가구소득보다 가처분소득(일일평균 지출비용)이 인삼 구매에 미치는 영향이 컸다. 일일평균 지출비용이 높음에도 불구하고 다른 제품을 더 선호하면 인삼을 덜 구매하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 인구통계학적 요인 중 성별과 나이 또한 인삼 구매의 중요한 결정 요인이다. 나이가 많은 남성 소비자층의 인삼제품 구매 확률이 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 셋째, 관광 목적은 인삼 구매에 영향을 끼친다. 여가 목적의 관광소비자가 다른 목적의 관광소비자보다 인삼 구매 확률이 높았다. 마지막으로 관광지 속성도 인삼 구매의 결정 요인이다. 관광지의 치안(안전성), 모바일/인터넷 사용 편리성과 길찾기 용이성 등의 관광지 속성은 인삼 구매에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인이었다. 특히 쇼핑의 편리함을 의미하는 모바일/인터넷 사용 편리성과 길찾기 용이성이 관광소비자의 인삼구매 확률을 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구는 국제 관광소비자의 인삼 선택을 선호(preference)에 기반한 계량경제학적 모델로 분석하여 인삼제품 구매 선택의 결정요인을 탐구하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Purpose - In a global economy, marketers are required to understand service quality from an international consumer viewpoint. Despite the increased need for cross-cultural research, few studies have developed service quality research international in scope. The present research aims to shed light on variations in airline service quality among international consumers. Research design, data, and methodology - Conducting crosscultural research, this study compares airline service quality variations, investigating an international consumer group and a Korean consumer group. T-test and factor analyses are applied to examine mean scores and factor structure of the airline service dimensions. Results - The results indicate there are significant differences in mean comparisons between the groups. The international consumers indicate significantly higher service perception scores than the Koreans. Further, we find that the factor structure of airline service quality diverges between the groups. The international group considers airline service quality in four dimensions, while Koreans consider it in two. Conclusions - The study sheds new light on international service variations and suggests that the field of airline service quality may differ by nations and/or cultures.

We estimated the price range of electricity transactions under the prosumer system, considering the spread of renewable energy and the prospect of introducing a surplus power trading system between power consumers in Korea. The range (min/max) of power transaction prices was estimated by prosumers and consumers who could purchase electricity from utilities if needed. It is assumed that utilities purchased electricity from prosumers and consumers under a Time-of-Use (TOU) rate, trading at a monthly price. The range of available transaction prices according to the amount of power purchased from utilities and the amount of transaction power was also estimated. The price range that can be traded is expected to vary depending on variables such as the TOU rate, purchased and surplus power, levelized cost of electricity, etc.

Growing environmental awareness around the world has made environmental issues increasingly important in business. While most past research has focused on consumers' sustainable morals and lifestyles as the main motivations for eco-friendly consumption, few studies have examined the effect of traditional marketing programs on sustainable consumption. In this study, the author posited that delicate visual cues in store retail environments, particularly visual cues of the store interiors, affect the ways consumers evaluate the brand. The author specifically tested the effect of visual congruence, or the perceived fit between brands and visual cues in retail atmospheres, on perceived brand image and trust. The results of the online survey of 622 U.S. consumers indicated that visual congruence has a significant positive effect on consumer trust in the brand. The author also hypothesized that environmental concerns would moderate the relationships. consumers' subjective environmental concerns do not moderate the positive effect of visual congruence on trust in the brand.

We examined how different types of brand personality play a role to develop a specific consumers' expectation toward a brand, and how this expectation works in various ways in different types of brand transgressions. Based on expectancy violation theory and brand transgression research, a 2 (brand personality types: sincerity vs. competence) × 2 (brand transgression types: morality-related vs. competence-related transgression) factorial design was employed. Corporate evaluations and purchase intention toward the brand were considered as dependent variables. We found that a brand having a sincerity personality is more vulnerable to a morality-related transgression. However, there is no difference in consumers' responses by transgression type for a brand with a competence personality. We identified that brand personality types and transgression types can be critical factors to influence consumers' responses in times of crisis. Theoretical and empirical implications are discussed.

This study is conducted to find out whether companies which use electronic commerce for their business are collecting the least personal information. of consumers that are necessary for providing electronic commerce services to consumers. Investigators visited website of 799 electronic commerce companies, and checked out the personal informations of consumers that were asked when they join the site as a member. The collected data were analyzed with frequency, percentage, and cross-tab analysis using SPSS program. Generally most electronic commerces required more personal information of consumers than necessary for providing their services to consumers. These phenomena are partly due to the fact that regulations regarding consumer privacy in electronic commerce are advisory rather than mandatory at present. Therefore, it is suggested that mandatory regulation which makes companies poot their identification within a certain area of their web page has to enforced for the protection of consumer privacy in electronic commerce. And it would be more efficient if consumers are consistently educated about self protection guideline regarding personal information in using electronic commerce in addition to a mandatory regulation.

Under the Manufacturing Liability Act, consumers want to be protected from manufacturers by mitigating burden of proof as an important target to be protected. However, due to the complexity of the product, it is very difficult for consumers to prove defects from the manufacturing defect. This situation has led to a major revision of the Manufacturing Liability Act, which mitigates the burden of proof of consumers by applying fruitless liability. The Manufacturing Liability Act is comparable to the U.S., which has strong consumer rights and is protected by the Manufacturing Liability Act. The burden of proof can be regarded as the most necessary content for consumers within the manufacturing product liability law when responding to manufacturing defects. The U.S. intends to provide implications for achieving consumer protection in Korea's Manufacturing Liability Act by imitating the U.S. based on the burden of proof. Case comparison regarding burden of proof can be conducted based on various criteria, including criteria for each product and key features for determining the importance of the manufacturing product liability law. The Act on the Responsibility of Korean Manufacturing Products for the Protection of Consumers was developed based on the assessment criteria, and a remedy was proposed to protect consumers who suffered from manufacturing defects.
