사람들이 돈을 지불하지 않고 무료로 얻을 수 있는 공짜제품을 과다하게 선호하는 현상을 '공짜효과'라 한다. 기존 연구들에 의하면 공짜제품에 주어지는 특별한 가치 때문에 이와 같은 효과가 발생한다. 본 연구는 공짜효과가 항상 나타나는 것이 아니라 심리적 변수에 의하여 조절될 수 있다는 것을 보이기 위하여 자아조절자원과 해석수준의 조절효과를 살펴보았다. 자아조절자원이 고갈되면 통제의 힘이 약해져서 가격에 대한 민감도가 감소할 뿐만 아니라 직관적이고 노력을 별로 기울이지 않는 정보처리과정을 통해 의사결정을 수행한다. 또한, 주어진 정보를 어떤 해석수준에서 처리하는가에 따라 선택이 달라진다. 고차원 해석수준에서 중심기능을 바탕으로 대안의 바람직성에 따라서 선택하는 반면, 저차원 해석수준에서 부가기능을 바탕으로 대안의 실행가능성에 초점을 두어 선택한다. 이와 같은 특성이 공짜효과의 크기에 미치는 영향을 살펴보는 것이 본 연구의 가장 중요한 목적이다. 자아조절자원과 해석수준에 의해서 공짜효과의 크기가 조절될 수 있다는 사실을 검증하기 위해 2개의 실험설계를 채용하였다. 두 실험 모두에서 기존연구에서 사용한 실험재(키세스와 페레로로쉐 초콜릿)를 이용했다. 실험 1은 자아조절자원 고갈 여부가 공짜효과에 미치는 영향을 검증했다. 자아조절자원 고갈과 비고갈 집단으로 나누어 공짜대안이 있는 선택과업과 그렇지 않은 과업에 할당했다. 자아조절자원이 고갈되지 않은 집단에서 공짜효과가 확실하지만, 자아조절자원이 고갈된 집단에서 공짜효과가 약해진다는 것을 밝혔다. 실험 2는 해석수준이 공짜효과에 미치는 영향을 검증했다. 실험 2는 '왜(why)'와 '어떻게(how)'를 이용해 해석수준을 조작했으며, 실험 1과 유사하게 공짜대안이 존재하는 의사결정과업과 존재하지 않는 과업에 할당한 뒤 공짜대안 선택에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 고차원 해석수준의 집단은 저차원 해석수준의 집단에 비하여 공짜제품 선택비율이 낮았다.

To survive in the global competitive environment, enterprise should be able to solve various problems and find the optimal solution effectively. The big-data is being perceived as a tool for solving enterprise problems effectively and improve competitiveness with its' various problem solving and advanced predictive capabilities. Due to its remarkable performance, the implementation of big data systems has been increased through many enterprises around the world. Currently the big-data is called the 'crude oil' of the 21st century and is expected to provide competitive superiority. The reason why the big data is in the limelight is because while the conventional IT technology has been falling behind much in its possibility level, the big data has gone beyond the technological possibility and has the advantage of being utilized to create new values such as business optimization and new business creation through analysis of big data. Since the big data has been introduced too hastily without considering the strategic value deduction and achievement obtained through the big data, however, there are difficulties in the strategic value deduction and data utilization that can be gained through big data. According to the survey result of 1,800 IT professionals from 18 countries world wide, the percentage of the corporation where the big data is being utilized well was only 28%, and many of them responded that they are having difficulties in strategic value deduction and operation through big data. The strategic value should be deducted and environment phases like corporate internal and external related regulations and systems should be considered in order to introduce big data, but these factors were not well being reflected. The cause of the failure turned out to be that the big data was introduced by way of the IT trend and surrounding environment, but it was introduced hastily in the situation where the introduction condition was not well arranged. The strategic value which can be obtained through big data should be clearly comprehended and systematic environment analysis is very important about applicability in order to introduce successful big data, but since the corporations are considering only partial achievements and technological phases that can be obtained through big data, the successful introduction is not being made. Previous study shows that most of big data researches are focused on big data concept, cases, and practical suggestions without empirical study. The purpose of this study is provide the theoretically and practically useful implementation framework and strategies of big data systems with conducting comprehensive literature review, finding influencing factors for successful big data systems implementation, and analysing empirical models. To do this, the elements which can affect the introduction intention of big data were deducted by reviewing the information system's successful factors, strategic value perception factors, considering factors for the information system introduction environment and big data related literature in order to comprehend the effect factors when the corporations introduce big data and structured questionnaire was developed. After that, the questionnaire and the statistical analysis were performed with the people in charge of the big data inside the corporations as objects. According to the statistical analysis, it was shown that the strategic value perception factor and the inside-industry environmental factors affected positively the introduction intention of big data. The theoretical, practical and political implications deducted from the study result is as follows. The frist theoretical implication is that this study has proposed theoretically effect factors which affect the introduction intention of big data by reviewing the strategic value perception and environmental factors and big data related precedent studies and proposed the variables and measurement items which were analyzed empirically and verified. This study has meaning in that it has measured the influence of each variable on the introduction intention by verifying the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables through structural equation model. Second, this study has defined the independent variable(strategic value perception, environment), dependent variable(introduction intention) and regulatory variable(type of business and corporate size) about big data introduction intention and has arranged theoretical base in studying big data related field empirically afterwards by developing measurement items which has obtained credibility and validity. Third, by verifying the strategic value perception factors and the significance about environmental factors proposed in the conventional precedent studies, this study will be able to give aid to the afterwards empirical study about effect factors on big data introduction. The operational implications are as follows. First, this study has arranged the empirical study base about big data field by investigating the cause and effect relationship about the influence of the strategic value perception factor and environmental factor on the introduction intention and proposing the measurement items which has obtained the justice, credibility and validity etc. Second, this study has proposed the study result that the strategic value perception factor affects positively the big data introduction intention and it has meaning in that the importance of the strategic value perception has been presented. Third, the study has proposed that the corporation which introduces big data should consider the big data introduction through precise analysis about industry's internal environment. Fourth, this study has proposed the point that the size and type of business of the corresponding corporation should be considered in introducing the big data by presenting the difference of the effect factors of big data introduction depending on the size and type of business of the corporation. The political implications are as follows. First, variety of utilization of big data is needed. The strategic value that big data has can be accessed in various ways in the product, service field, productivity field, decision making field etc and can be utilized in all the business fields based on that, but the parts that main domestic corporations are considering are limited to some parts of the products and service fields. Accordingly, in introducing big data, reviewing the phase about utilization in detail and design the big data system in a form which can maximize the utilization rate will be necessary. Second, the study is proposing the burden of the cost of the system introduction, difficulty in utilization in the system and lack of credibility in the supply corporations etc in the big data introduction phase by corporations. Since the world IT corporations are predominating the big data market, the big data introduction of domestic corporations can not but to be dependent on the foreign corporations. When considering that fact, that our country does not have global IT corporations even though it is world powerful IT country, the big data can be thought to be the chance to rear world level corporations. Accordingly, the government shall need to rear star corporations through active political support. Third, the corporations' internal and external professional manpower for the big data introduction and operation lacks. Big data is a system where how valuable data can be deducted utilizing data is more important than the system construction itself. For this, talent who are equipped with academic knowledge and experience in various fields like IT, statistics, strategy and management etc and manpower training should be implemented through systematic education for these talents. This study has arranged theoretical base for empirical studies about big data related fields by comprehending the main variables which affect the big data introduction intention and verifying them and is expected to be able to propose useful guidelines for the corporations and policy developers who are considering big data implementationby analyzing empirically that theoretical base.
