Purchase decision behavior for and satisfaction with apparel among retail buyers and consumers were compared. Kunz's behavioral theory of the apparel fm was the conceptual framework; Oliver's disconfirmation model guided measurement of satisfaction. Buyers and consumers indicated their perceptions about shopping orientations, variables that influenced apparel purchasing decisions, the importance of aspects of customer service and attributes that they expected to find and found when shopping. Surveys were mailed to retailers and consumers identified by random sampling of company lists. Respondents were 66 buyers and 344 consumers. MANOVA revealed differences in retailers 'and consumers' shopping orientations, the influence of variables on purchase decisions, and perceptions of the importance of customer service. Paired sample t tests indicated dissatisfaction for buyers on 10 apparel/shopping attributes and consumers on nine items. Results support the need for vertically integrated manufacturers to redesign strategies that are more appealing to both retail buyers and consumers.

In the children's market, characters are applied to products to stimulate children to buy a product directly or to implore their parents to buy it for them. To sell characterized products, marketers consider both parents and children. This research was designed to identify which parenting style factors affect the evaluation of characterized children's fashion products and to test how parenting style affects the evaluation of value importance of characterized children's fashion products. The parenting style factors studied were first categorized as communication, children's social acceptance, educational involvement, and media exposure. Responses from 259 parents residing in Woodbury, MN, and Ellicott City, MD, were used for data analysis. A factor analysis and canonical correlation analysis were conducted. Parents with high "Susceptibility to child peer pressure" attached importance to "Social Value" when buying characterized products. On the other hand, parents who were highly involved in their child's life and frequently intervened in their "Child's TV-viewing" attached importance to educational value. Educational value was a unique contributor to the evaluation of characterized products as compared to other fashion products. Marketers can therefore leverage both the social and educational value of characterized products.

Purpose: While previous studies mainly focus on one shopping expectancy in the context of e-commerce or m-commerce, this study examines the relationship between consumers' performance and effort expectancy and their shopping intentions in the omnichannel retail environment in which both online and offline shopping channels are utilized concurrently in a single shopping journey. Research design, data and methodology: This study measured consumers' performance expectancy, effort expectancy, attitudes, and intentions toward an omnichannel shopping service. A survey was developed using an online survey platform and distributed to U.S. consumers for a 3-week period and 470 usable responses were obtained. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling were performed to test the reliability and validity of the measurement model and research model portraying the hypothesized relationships among constructs. Results: The results confirm that both performance and effort expectancy from shopping affected consumers' attitudes toward omnichannel shopping. The positive attitudes increased their omnichannel shopping intentions. Conclusions: Retailers should promote omnichannel strategies as effective shopping tools to improve consumers' shopping experiences and outcomes. This study suggests that retailers should implement omnichannel strategies that synchronize the retail channels they offer and promote the strategies as effective means to enhance customers' shopping outcomes and experiences.

The purposes of this study are to investigate the formation and the change of apparel retail structure historically with the viewpoint that the retail structure is affected by the process of economic development. This study was done by literature research method and the result of this study is the following. The tailor and seamstress shops, the first clothing shops in Korea, were replaced by ready-made shops, because mass production system which had developed with the industrialization of Korea increased the advantage of economy of scale compared to handicrafts individual one. After that, the production system of apparel industry had been efficient continuously, while retail system had not. The retailing of famous brand apparel conducted by exclusive franchise store caused supplier oriented markets where the opinion and the desire of consumers were not reflected. While the retailing of the unknown brand apparel handled by small retail stores were inefficient. As the apparel industry matured in 1990s, various types of new stores appeared such as specialty stores, discount stores, TV home shopping, internet shopping, outlet malls, and big fashion stores in Dongdeamoon. These new stores have features of seeking profits in mass merchandising. As these large retail stores grow, the apparel retail structure of Korea is changing from a fragmented market to a vertically integrated one. This change is shown by the decrease of stores per inhabitants. With the change of environment, the apparel retail system which has lagged behind comparatively is expected to develop into more efficient system based on the large capital investment which raise the advantage of economy of scale.

Specifically, fashion retailers are facing the need to develop more novel experiential design than one another to maximize customers' experience in Internet websites and secure sustainable competency. Confirming methods of organic integration of experiential and visual features of both online and mobile channels is an important aspect of the study of extended consumers' interfaces of retail channels. Mehrabian and Russell's stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) paradigm and Sugiyama and Andree's attention, interest, search, action, and share (AISAS) model were used for this research. Specifically, the present study considered the effect of e-commerce website features on consumers' emotional reactions (pleasure and arousal) and the consequent impact on online consumer behaviors (search, action, and share). Hence, plus the self-reported survey methods, each subject's psychophysiological indicators (i.e., pleasure and arousal) were measured to obtain more objective and reliable data and to redeem the results of the self-reported survey. Findings revealed the implications of the e-commerce website feature by comprehending the S-O-R paradigm and AISAS model and extending the understanding of the role of variables associated with comprehended frameworks based on psychophysiological data.

활발한 미국 소매업 시장에는 그 어느 때 보다 많은 취업과 고용의 기회가 있다. 소매업이 타 산업이나 혹은 소매업간에서 경쟁적 우위를 차지하기 위해서는 유능한 인재의 확보가 우선적이다 그러나 대학교육을 이수한 젊은 인재들의 소매업에 대한 부정적 인식과 또한 소매업 종사자의 높은 이직률은 현재 소매업의 증가하는 인적 요구를 수용하기 어렵게 한다. 따라서 대부분의 미국 소매업에서는 24세 이하의 젊은 임시직 고용인으로 인재를 확충하고 있는 현실이다. 그러나 적절한 직업 훈련이나 직업 역할에 대한 감독자의 충분한 지도 없이 형성되는 그들의 일시적인 소매업 직무 경험은, 소매업종에 대한 부정적 인식을 가중시키고 있다. 이러한 제한적 인 직무 경험은 곧 소매업 자체에도 부정적 인 파급효과를 낳게 되어 소매 기업 자체의 이 익을 저하함은 물론, 장기적 안목에서 유능한 인재를 소매업으로 유입할 수 없게 만드는 요인이 되는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 대부분 고등학교 시절부터, 임시직 고용인으로 출발하는 미국 젊은 소매업 종사자들의 '직무 경험'이 어떻게 그들의 '직업 성과' 와 '직업 만족'궁극적으로는 장래의 '소매업 직업 선택'에 인과적 영향을 미치는지를 연구하였다. 연구방법은, 4년 간에 걸쳐 5회의 focus group interview 와 총 2,171명에 대한 3회의 설문지조사가 미국 고등학교 및 대학생들을 대상으로 시행되었다. 이러한 광범위한 양적, 질적 접근에 대하여 회귀분석, 확증적 요인분석, 구조방정식 모델의 분석을 함으로써 본 연구 주제에 대한 포괄적인 연구모델이 개발되었다. 연구결과로는 젊은 임시직 소매업 고용인들의 직무 경험 중 '감독자지도' 와 '직무관여'는 일관되게 '직업 만족' 및 '직업성과'에 긍정적 영향을 미치고 있었다. 그러나 '역할 갈등'과 '역할 모호성'은 '직업 만족'및 '직업성과'에 비 일관된 부정적 영향을 미치고 있었다 한편 '직업성과'는 '직업 만족'과 '소매업 직업 선택의도'에 대해 영향을 미치지 않은 반면, '직업 만족'은 '직업 선택의도'에 직접적인 결정적 요소로 일관된 영향을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 미국 젊은 학생들이 고등학교 시절부터 보편적으로 경험하게 되는 소매업 직무 경험에서, 혁신적인 감독자들로부터 적절하게 직무에 대한 지도를 훈련받고 또한 높은 수준의 직무 관여를 소매업 종사자들이 경험한다면, 그들의 직업 만족은 증가하고 이는 곧 장래에 그들이 소매업을 직업으로 선택하게 할 수 있는 가장 최우선적인 동력이라는 것을 확인하였다.

Consumers currently show cross-channel shopping behavior between the Internet and store-based retail types when searching information and purchasing sensory products such as fashion items to reduce risks. As consumers compare both types of stores before making a purchase decision, the Internet retail type and store-based retail type started conflicting/competing each other as the combined retail evolution theory proposed(Kim & Kincade, 2006). The purpose of this study is to examine consumers' cross-channel shopping behavior between the Internet and store-based retail types and their importance and satisfaction with information provided by the Internet retail stores. This study employs a quantitative research method using a survey. Demographics, types of stores used for purchase, satisfaction with the type of stores, Internet shopping behavior, importance and satisfaction with product information in the Internet retail stores were asked. MANOVA and descriptive statistics were used to test hypotheses. The result shows that a majority of participants(36.2%) shows cross-channel shopping behavior between the two retail types. Also, most participants(72.4%) decide on their purchase and are satisfied only after cross-channel shopping between the two retail types. Participants were grouped based on their information search and purchase behavior. Significant differences among the groups were found in importance and satisfaction with product information provided by the Internet stores. In measuring participants' satisfaction, a majority of participants(42.1%) showed satisfaction with their purchase at store-based retail stores after information search via the internet, followed by the satisfaction with the purchase at the internet retail stores after information search at store-based retail stores(30.3%). Fifty one point nine percent of participants search information via the internet(vs.48% at store-based retail stores), and they especially look for fiber contents and design details with pictures(37.4%). The satisfaction with price information provided by the Internet retail stores is the highest (m=3.70 out of 5.0) among fashion product information followed by design information(m=3.48). On the other hand, size information, refund/exchange and fiber content information received low satisfaction scores(m=2.81, 2.71, 2.57 in turn). This research suggests the Internet retail stores should provide more variety of information in detail using technology and improving customer services. This study could provide the Internet retail stores a guideline to establish a satisfactory information delivery system.

역사적으로 많은 미국과 유럽의 학자들이 이론적(Conceptual work)으로 또는 실전을 (Empirical work) 통하여 점포진화모델을 제시하려 많은 노력을 기울여왔다. 그러나 이런 많은 연구들에도 불구하고 다음과 같은 한계가 여전히 존재하고 있다: 다양한 종류의 점포기관의 진화에 적용할 수 없다는 점, 그리고 양적 연구(Quantitative research)가 부족하다는 점. 이 연구의 목적은 기존 점포진화이론을 포괄하고 위의 한계점을 극복하는 이론적인 점포진화모델을 개발하여 제시하는 것이다. 연구방법에는 질적연구디자인(Qualitative research design), 특히 지속적인 비교분석방법(Constant comparative analysis)을 통한 기초이론(Grounded theory) 형식의 디자인이 사용되었다. 연구결과, 기존의 점포진화이론의 여러 측면들을 종합하여 점포기관들의 변화과정을 제시하는 새로운 이론적인 모델이 제시되었다.

This study examined the effects of "me-model" body-size discrepancy on consumer's shopping mood, store satisfaction, and intention to revisit two types of online apparel stores (one featuring thin models and one featuring average-sized models). A convenience sample of women (n = 528) participated. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Participants who were thinner or similar to the models indicated positive shopping moods, a high level of online store satisfaction, and intended to revisit the stores when compared to participants who were larger than the models. Participants preferred the 'average-sized' model. This preference was attributed to the familiarity of the model and ability to effectively evaluate merchandise. The results revealed how models can influence apparel consumers in an online context.
