"새로운 스마트폰을 구매하는데 있어서 브랜드 충성도와 전환비용의 역할은 무엇인가?" 방법론 기존 브랜드를 계속 사용하려는 경향을 고려하여 새로운 스마트폰 구매의도를 설명하기 위한 여섯 개의 가설을 제안했다. 연구모형은 177명의 대학생을 대상으로 LG의 G4 스마트폰을 구매의도에 대해 실증적 검증을 하였다. PLS에 의해 자료 분석을 한 결과 모든 가설이 통계적으로 지지받았다. 결과 첫째, 기존 스마트폰에 대한 브랜드 충성도와 전환비용은 새로운 스마트폰 구매에 영향을 미친다. 둘째, 브랜드 충성도는 전환비용과 상대적 이점의 관계에서 조절변수 역할을 한다. 셋째, 지각된 심미성과 가격 가치도 스마트폰 구매에 영향을 미친다.

디지털 미디어 시대에는 사용자 인터페이스(User Interface)에 대한 중요성이 날로 커지고 있으며, 사용자 경험에 대한 인식이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 현실을 감안하여 본 연구에서는 스마트폰의 UI(User Interface)경험이 제품태도와 구매의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 스마트폰의 UI경험은 스마트폰의 제품태도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 스마트폰의 UI경험은 스마트폰의 구매의도에 부분적으로 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 마지막으로, 스마트폰에 대한 제품태도는 구매의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 향후 스마트폰에 대한 마케팅 전략 수립 시 스마트폰의 UI경험들을 고려한 전략이 필요함을 시사한다. 특히 스마트폰에 대한 가치경험 보다는 주변경험 즉, 사후관리와 같은 A/S제도에 초점을 맞춘 마케팅 전략이 필요하다 하겠다. 마지막으로 소비자들의 구매의사를 높이기 위해서는 무엇보다 자사의 제품에 대한 소비자들의 태도를 긍정적으로 제고할 수 있는 마케팅 전략이 필요하다 하겠다.

This study is aimed at considering the relationship between the influential factor in Smartphone purchase and consumer awareness. For this purpose, this study set up the influential factors in Smartphone purchase as advertising effect, brand effect and usability effect and corporate image effect, and considered the relationship between these influential factors and consumer awareness empirically. The research results can be summarized as following 3 parts: First, the four factors suggested as the influential factor in Smartphone purchase were verified to have a significant influence on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, and thus, it is thought that the bigger the influence of these factors, the more customer satisfaction and customer loyalty will increase. Second, among the factors suggested as influential factors in Smartphone purchase, the biggest factor in influencing customer satisfaction was found to be 'Usability Effect' while the biggest factor in influencing customer loyalty was revealed to be 'Brand Effect.' As a result, this study could learn that it's necessary that 'Usability Effect' should be considered more preferentially than other factors in order to enhance customer satisfaction while 'Brand Effect' should be preferentially considered in orderto raise customer loyalty. Third, it can be judged that in the relationship between customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, the bigger the customer satisfaction, the higher the customer loyalty. It is hoped that such research results could be applied as useful materials in time of establishing the marketing strategy. Nevertheless, this paper makes it clear that due to the constraints in the number of sample areas and samples, there is a limit in objectifying the research results into all areas.

This study examines the effects of self-presentation and aesthetics on purchase intentions toward a brand-new smartphone through a research model that accounts for these intentions in a more comprehensive manner than traditional ICT frameworks. The constructs were selected based on the three-level processing theory: aesthetics at the visceral level, perceived usefulness and playfulness at the behavioural level, and self-presentation at the reflective level. The hypotheses were developed from self-presentation theory and the attractiveness stereotype which is one of theories in human-computer interactions (HCI). For the validation of hypotheses, the research model was empirically tested for the purchase intention of Apple's iPhone5 by university students in Korea.
