This study examined the service quality attributes of the CVS (Convenient Store) packed meal products by applying the Kano model. The main survey was conducted by a research company using an online survey in the form of a self-administered questionnaire. The 499 samples were limited to customers who had experienced CVS packed meal products within the last months. A total of 14 service quality attributes of the CVS premium packed meal products were categorized as four attractive qualities, one must-be quality, three one-dimensional qualities and six indifferent qualities. According to the Better and Worse quotient designed by Timko, 'coupon and sales promotion event', 'healthy menu configuration', and 'balanced nutrition' had higher levels of the Better coefficient. On the other hand, 'hygiene and cleanliness', 'the delicious food', and 'fresh ingredients' showed a higher Worse coefficient. The results also suggest that each service quality attribute is not a single dimension but a complex attribute. As a result, this research suggests that marketing practitioners should immediately identify consumer's changing perception of quality to attract new customers and prevent existing customers from leaving in the CVS premium packed meal products segment.

Purpose - This study was carried out to analyze the influential factors of how consumers methodize purchasing agricultural products via direct market. It further utilizes the Discrete Choice Model to analyze consumer decision specifically with regards to individual markets and store attributes. Research design and methodology - This study will use the multinomial logit model to interpret the influential factors behind selecting a specific market to purchase from. This study establishes 'online direct-purchase' as the base category with 'direct farm markets', 'local foods direct markets', 'produce boxes (CSA)' as substitutes. Results - Firstly, the variety of products, price and freshness had a positive influence on choosing 'direct farm markets' while convenience of payment and transportation had a negative influence. Second, freshness and store attributes had a positive influence on choosing 'local foods direct markets' but product price and packaging, location accessibility had a negative influence. And although product creditability had a positive influence on purchasing 'produce boxes (CSA)', product price had a negative influence. Conclusions - Accordingly, there is a need for the South Korean government to encourage the adoption of mobile payment through smartphone applications in direct farm markets to vitalize direct agricultural purchasing. However, this does need to be approached cautiously as price has a conflicting affect for each method of purchase.

With the proliferation of the "Untact" culture (non-face-to-face society), advanced technologies have accelerated the cashierless systems in the retail context. Cashierless fashion stores are expected to grow rapidly in the same way automated convenience stores grew in popularity. Applying the extended technology acceptance theory, this study aims to investigate how the attributes of cashierless fashion store influence consumers' acceptance of it and to examine how consumer's technology readiness moderates the model. Two online surveys-preliminary and secondary-were conducted to collect data from consumers in their 20s and 30s who had experienced cashierless stores over the past year. To analyze a total of 423 responses, this study conducted a confirmatory factor analysis, a multi-group factor analysis, a multi-group structure equation modeling, and a descriptive analysis. The results demonstrate that convenience, trustworthiness, and price had a positive impact on perceived ease of use, while service quality had a negative one. Enjoyment, convenience, trustworthiness, and price positively influenced perceived usefulness. Both perceived ease of use and usefulness increased the intention to use. Furthermore, the multi-group comparison confirmed that the positive dimensions of consumer's technology readiness played a moderating role in the model. This study provides a research foundation for consumer acceptance of technologically advanced stores and offers practical implications to companies planning cashierless fashion stores.

최근 온라인 시장이 성숙해지면서, 추가 성장을 가로막는 많은 문제점이 드러나고 있는데, 이 중 가장 대표적인 문제는 온라인 상품의 동질화로 인한 고객수의 정체를 꼽을 수 있다. 최근 몇 년 사이 온라인 시장의 비중은 많이 증가하였지만, 이제 오프라인으로 영역을 확장하지 않고서는 더 이상의 발전을 기대하기 힘든 상황에 이른 것이다. 이에, 국내외 많은 온라인 기업들은 온라인 채널의 장점에 더해 온라인 플랫폼의 한계를 보완할 수 있는 오프라인 공간을 함께 확보함으로써, 사업영역 및 마케팅 채널을 확대하고자 노력하고 있다. 정보기술(빅데이터, 인공지능 등)을 활용한 대량의 고객 데이터 분석이라는 그들의 경쟁우위를 바탕으로, O4O(Online for Offline) 비즈니스 모델을 구현함으로써, 오프라인으로의 영향력을 꾸준히 강화해나가고 있는 것이다. 한편, 기존의 관련 연구들은 대부분 O2O(Online to Offline) 비즈니스 모델에만 초점을 맞추고 있으며, 최근 몇 년 동안 다양한 산업 분야에서 활발히 시도되고 있는 O4O 비즈니스 모델에 대한 학문적 시도는 아직 많이 부족한 실정이다. 그나마 존재하는 몇몇의 O4O 관련 연구들도 사례분석 및 체험마케팅 기반의 연구에 그치고 있어, O4O 기반 선택속성들과 이들이 고객만족도 및 고객충성도에 미치는 영향에 대한 실증연구가 시급한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 중국의 대표적인 O4O 비즈니스 모델인 허마셴셩(盒馬鮮生)을 중심으로, 고객의 관점에서 O4O 서비스에 특화된 주요 선택속성을 도출한 후, 이러한 선택속성들이 고객만족도 및 고객충성도에 미치는 영향을 실증해 보고자 한다. 300명의 O4O(허마셴셩) 이용 경험이 있는 고객을 대상으로 한 설문 표본을 구조방정식모델을 활용해 분석한 결과, 총 7개의 O4O 선택속성 가운데 4개(모바일앱품질, 모바일결제, 상품품질 및 매장시설)가 고객만족도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 고객만족도는 다시 고객충성도(재이용의도, 추천의도 및 브랜드애착)에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 O4O 서비스 분야의 관리자가 빠르게 변화하는 고객요구에 잘 적응하고, 나아가 어떤 선택속성에 더 많은 자원을 할당함으로써 고객만족도 및 고객충성도를 제고할 수 있는지를 알려주는 중요한 가이드라인 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Consumers attribute human personality to products or stores as well as brands. As brand personality is imprinted to a consumer's mind, in e-commerce, the concept of store personality needs to be examined by comprehending the e-brand personality. Unlike the recent studies that focus primarily on the portal site, we attempt to identify e-brand personality of online shopping malls that sell fashion products. This study also examined the impact of the parent company's attributes on e-brand personality. A survey was conducted to 240 females and 240 males in their 20s or 30s. E-brand personality of three different types of the Internet shopping mall was evaluated by 160 respondents, respectively. As a result, we found that Internet shoppers perceive that e-brands have four distinct personality dimensions: young, reliable, sophisticated, and creative. Among the four dimensions, "young" and "reliable" showed the most significant influence on intention to visit the shopping mall site. Besides, e-brand personality varied with parent companies' attributes such as reputation, credibility, and fashion industry-relatedness. Especially, credibility of the parent company showed a strong positive relationship with e-brand personality.

Purpose: Brand hearsay refers to information that can be acquired from advertisement, media publicity, and word-of-mouth prior to experiencing products or services of brands. Previous information about brands obtained through brand hearsay affects consumer behavior in choosing brands. Moreover, brand hearsay is an effective communication method in promoting brands to consumers. Thus, bakery franchises need to improve strengths and differentiate characteristics of their brand, thereby attracting more consumers. Therefore, this study investigates relationships the effect of brand hearsay on consumers' brand attitude and brand loyalty in the context of franchised bakery brands. Research design, data, and methodology: A research model was proposed to examine structural relationships between brand hearsay (advertising, publicity, word-of-mouth), brand attitude, and brand loyalty. An online survey was conducted to consumers who had an experience of visiting a franchise bakery. A total of 513 responses were used for data analysis. SPSS 22.0 was used for analyzing general demographics, and SmartPLS 4.0 was used to test validity and reliability of the proposed model. Result: Among attributes of brand hearsay, advertisement and word-of-mouth had positively significant effects on brand attitude, but no significant effect was found between publicity and attitude. Advertisement had a positively significant impact on brand loyalty, while publicity had a negative effect on brand loyalty opposite to hypothesis. Moreover, brand attitude had a statistically significant effect on brand loyalty. Conclusions: In the context of franchise bakeries, brand hearsay contents may change consumers' attitude toward brands but does not increase brand loyalty. Though media publicity does not affect consumers' attitude toward brands, it may decrease brand loyalty when consumers are too exposed to it. In addition, it is necessary to enhance brand attitude to increase brand loyalty of customers. This study provides bakery franchisors and franchisees information about which type of brand hearsay (e.g., advertisement, word-of-mouth, media, publicity) is effective in enhancing brand attitudes and loyalty of consumers. Further studies may include other variables (e.g., trust) in addition to attitude and loyalty, or compare findings based on brand characteristics (e.g., low-to-medium/high prices, store size).

오프라인 구매환경과는 달리 온라인 환경에서는 제품을 직접 눈으로 확인하고 만져 볼 수 없다. 때문에 온라인 쇼핑몰을 구축하고 운영하는 입장에서는 보다 구체적인 제품정보를 제공해야 하며(김광석 2008), Alba (1997)는 제공된 정보의 질은 소비자들이 구매 후 만족을 얼마나 예상할 수 있는 가로 결정된다고 정의한 바 있다. 이에 패션 의류 온라인 쇼핑몰을 중심으로 실제 모델이 제품을 착용한 사진정보(실착사진)를 제공함으로써 실제 제품사용에 따른 결과를 제시하여 제품정보의 유용성을 높이고 있다. 한편 온라인 환경에서 소비자들의 제품에 대한 제한된 지각을 극복하는 또 다른 수단으로써, 가상제품경험은 가장 효과적인 것으로 논의되어 왔다(Jiang & Benbasat 2005). 그러나 가상현실도구의 도입과 지속적 활용에는 일반적인 텍스트/사진 정보와 비교해 높은 비용과 기술적 전문성을 요구한다(Shaffer 2006). 이는 특히 영세 소매상 입장에서 시장에 대한 진입장벽으로 작용하는 한편, 소비자의 정보처리과정에서는 오히려 단순한 형태의 정보에 비하여 더 높은 수준의 인지적 노력을 요구할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 도구들의 활용하는 것이 소비자들의 정보과부하를 초래해 제품에 대한 핵심정보 취득을 방해하고, 소비자의 지각된 정보유용성에 부정적 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 제품유형을 소비자들의 제품 사용상황에 따라 휴대제품과 설치제품으로 구분하고, 이때 정지사진, 실착사진, VR로 대별되는 제품정보의 형태에 따른 소비자들의 지각된 정보의 유용성, 쇼핑몰에 대한 태도와 품질평가, 구매의도, 재방문 의도를 측정하기 위한 실험을 진행했다. 그 결과 소비자 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 종속변수군에 대해 제품유형과 제품정보형태가 상호작용효과를 일으키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
