Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing the intention of the reuse in patients admitted in university hospital emergency medical center. Method: The participants were 253 patients admitted to a niversity hospital emergency medical center. Data were collected with self-administrated questionnaires and analyzed by hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Patient satisfaction with nursing care service and switching cost were positively correlated with reuse by patients while the perceived risk was negatively correlated. As levels of satisfaction with nursing care services and switching cost increase, intention of reuse increases. Satisfaction with nursing care service, switching cost and perceived risk in emergency medical center influence intention to reuse and explain 68.8% of total variation of intention to reuse. Conclusion: Findings provide strong empirical evidence for importance of atient satisfaction with nursing care service, the switching costs and the perceived risk in explaining the intention of reuse an emergency medical center.

In this paper, a research model is proved empirically which includes factors related on the purchase intention of smart car as high innovative product in advance of commercialization. As one of relating to consumer's expectation benefit factors, individual attribute factor includes product knowledge, individual innovativeness, and sociality. Consumer's expectation benefit factor includes perceived ease-of-use, usefulness, and enjoyment. As of switching cost variables, there are financial, uncertainty, relational and psychological switching costs factors. Analysis were performed using data from the 257 respondents as random sampling among potential consumers. Purchase intention were affected by individual innovativeness mediated by perceived enjoyment, and individual sociality by perceived ease-of-use and enjoyment also. Relational switching costs factor was only a significant control variable between purchase intention with consumer's expectation benefit factor. This result presents some implications for making the new smart car's detail concept and marketing strategy related to targeting the consumer as high innovative product and technology firms including smart car makers.

Due to the customer needs of reducing cost and delivery date shorting, prompt change in the production plan became more important. In the multi period system (For instance, production line.) where target processing time exists, production, idle and delay risks occur repeatedly for multiple periods. In such situations, delay of one process may influence the delivery date of an entire process. In this paper, we discuss the minimum expected cost of the case mentioned above, where the risk depends on the previous situation and occurs repeatedly for multiple periods. This paper considers the optimal switching frequency to minimize the total expected cost of the production process. In this paper, first, the optimal switching frequency model is proposed. Next, the mathematic formulation of the total expectation is presented. Finally, the policy of optimal switching frequency is investigated by numerical experiments.

In SRM drive, the ON·OFF angles of each phase switch should be accurately controlled in order to control the torque and speed stably. The accuracy of the switching angles is dependent upon the resolution of the encoder and the sampling period of the microprocessor, that are used to provide the information of the rotor position and to control the SRM power circuit, respectively. However, as the speed increases, the amount of the switching angle deviation from the preset values is also increased. Therefore, the low cost encoder suitable for the practical and stable SRM drive is proposed and the control algorithm to provide the switching signals using the simple digital logic circuit is also presented in this paper, As a result, a stable high speed SRM drive can be achieved by the high resolution switching angle control and it is verified from the experiments that the proposed encoder the logic controller can be a powerful candidate for the practical low cost SRM drive.

Purpose - This study examines the mediating effect of switching costs (economic risk costs and setup costs) on the relationships of country image with product attitude and product attachment. Switching-cost effects for the Korean Wave, which are insufficiently addressed in the literature, were investigated using the country image of Korea as a proxy for the Korean Wave. Moreover, this study examined the economic effects of the Korean Wave and the negative effect of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) deployment on these economic effects. Design/methodology - A total of 302 Chinese consumers were surveyed using a questionnaire. Because this was an exploratory study and was not based on a classical model, the PLS-SEM method was employed to test the stability of the model and its hypotheses. Findings - Switching costs had mediating effects on the relationships of country image with product attitude and product attachment. The switching-cost effects for the Korean Wave were verified. However, neither the economic image nor cultural image of Korea had significant effects on the economic risk costs. Moreover, the economic image of Korea had no significant effect on the set-up costs. Originality/value - This study broadened the understanding of the relationships among country image, switching costs, product attitude, and product attachment and advanced the knowledge of relevant theories. The results contribute theoretically to the literature on switching-cost effects for the Korean Wave. The results confirmed the negative effect of THAAD deployment on the economic effects of the Korean Wave. In the rapidly developing international environment, these research results could serve as theoretical reference guidelines for suppliers when developing marketing strategies.

The purpose of this study was to understand the interrelationships among customers'perceived values, switching cost, and loyalty to a family restaurant. Based on 328 patrons obtained from empirical research, this study reviewed the reliability and fitness of a research model and verified three hypotheses using the Amos program. The hypothesized relationships were tested in the model simultaneously using a structural equation model (SEM). The proposed model provided an adequate fit to the data, $x^2$=341.01 (df=154), p<0.001, CMIN/df 2.21, GFI 0.91, NFI 0.94, IFI 0.97, TLI 0.96, CFI 0.97, RMSEA 0.06. The results showed that utilitarian values (${\beta}$=0.27) as customers' perceived values elements in a family restaurant, had a positive (+) influence upon switching cost. Switching cost had a significant positive (+) effect on the behavioral loyalty (${\beta}$=0.16) and attitudinal loyalty (${\beta}$=0.16). Hedonic values (${\beta}$= 0.41) and utilitarian values (${\beta}$=0.26) had a positive (+) influence on customer's behavioral loyalty. Additionally, a customers hedonic values (${\beta}$= 0.30) and utilitarian values (${\beta}$=0.32) had a significant positive (+) effect on attitudinal loyalty. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.

This study organizes scenarios on the power supply and demand plans considering the uncertainties and the portion of distributed energy resources. In analysing the scenarios, it estimates total electricity supply cost in the social aspect, natural gas demand and air pollutants emission including carbon dioxide. Also the analysis is performed to estimate the marginal cost of carbon dioxide reduction for the fuel switching from coal to liquified natural gas. In result, the social cost could be decreased by replacing some portion of renewable energy by LNG-based combined heat and power and delaying the construction of large base-load generators such as coal and nuclear plants. The marginal carbon dioxide reduction cost by fuel switching is in plausible range for fuel switching to be an option for carbon dioxide emission reduction when the social cost is considered.

본 연구의 목적은 전환 과제 수행 시 정서 정보의 영향을 비교 문화적 관점에서 살펴보는 것이다. 보다 구체적으로 본 연구에서는 긍정 정서와 부정 정서를 표현하고 있는 사진을 사용하여 전환 과제 수행 시 정소 정보의 영향이 한국인들과 미국인들에게서 다르게 나타나는지를 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 한국대학생들과 미국 대학생들에게 긍정 혹은 부정 얼굴을 제시하고 제시된 사진의 테두리 색깔에 맞춰 정서판단 과제 혹은 성별 판단 과제를 수행하도록 요구하였다. 실험 결과, 한국인과 미국인 모두 성별 과제에서 정서 과제로의 전환 비용이 성별 과제에서 정서 과제로의 전환 비용에 비해 유의미하게 크게 나타났고, 사진에서 표현하는 정서가 반복되는 조건이 정서가 전환되는 조건에 비해 더 큰 전환 비용을 보였다. 또한, 참가자의 문화적 배경과 무관하게 과제와 정서가 직접적으로 관련된 정서 과제가 성별 과제에 비해 정서 전환 여부에 따른 전환 비용이 더 크게 나타났다. 하지만, 정서 전환이 전환 과제 수행에 미치는 영향을 개인이 속한 문화에 따라 달랐는데, 한국인이 미국인에 비해 사진에서 표현되는 정서의 전환 여부에 덜 민감하게 반응하였다. 이러한 결과는 정서 정보가 인지과제 수행에 영향을 준다는 것을 보여주며 정서의 영향이 개인이 속하고 자라온 문화적 배경에 따라 다를 수 있음을 시사한다.
