Purpose: Determination of the importance values of quality attributes is very important to integrate the Kano model with QFD. A new method to determine the importance values of quality attributes is proposed. Methods: ASC(Average Satisfaction Coefficient) is proposed in order to determine the importance values of quality attributes. To evaluate the effectiveness of ASC, a case study of modern TV sets is conducted, and the performance of ASC is compared with direct importance evaluation and AHP pairwise comparisons. Results: The result of ASC application is similar with those of direct importance evaluation and AHP pairwise comparison. Conclusion: ASC is an effective instrument to determine the importance values of quality attributes. It doesn't need a cumbersome process like AHP pairwise comparison, and can be calculated using the data for the conventional Kano model.

최근 정보 기술의 발전 속도가 매우 빠르게 변화하고 있다. 스마트폰과 태블릿 같은 IT 기기에서 이런 변화들이 두드러지고 있다. 이전의 IT 기기들은 기능상의 혁신과 진보를 통해 소비자들을 끌어들였지만, 현재는 IT 제품 상에서 기능상 발전과 혁신은 둔화되었다. 기능상 차별점이 줄어든 시점에서 기업들은 외관과 디자인적 측면에서 차별화를 시도하고 있다. 스마트폰의 외관적 변화를 반영하듯 소비자들도 성능보단 디자인을 스마트폰 구매의 중요 요인으로 삼고 있다. 스마트폰은 패션 아이템의 하나로 자리매김하게 되었고, 스마트폰의 디자인과 외형이 지속적으로 중요해짐에 따라 해당 제품에 대해 소비자들이 느끼는 디자인 가치가 무엇인지도 중요해졌으며, 무엇에 영향을 받는지도 중요해졌다. 소비자들이 느끼는 가치가 중요해짐에 따라 소비자들이 해당제품의 디자인에 대해 평가하는 메커니즘을 밝힐 필요성이 존재하며, 적절한 가치를 전달하기 위해 디자인을 평가할 수 있는 모형이 필요하다. 디자인과 관련한 기존 연구들은 소비자들의 인지와 가치 부분에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 하였지만, 제품 속성 자체에 대한 부분은 고려하지 않은 경향이 있으며, 제품이 갖고 있는 객관적인 속성들에 따라 소비자들의 인지가 변화하는 과정과 최종적으로 느끼는 가치에 대한 메커니즘을 밝힌 연구는 부재한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 스마트폰 제품이 갖고 있는 객관적 속성인 제품 속성과 객관적 속성을 통해 느끼는 소비자들의 인지, 가치에 대해 평가할 수 있는 메커니즘을 설계하고, 이를 평가할 수 있는 3단계 디자인 평가 모형을 제시하려 한다. 3단계 디자인 평가 모형은 제품 속성, 인지 속성, 소비자 가치까지 모든 단계를 고려한 정량화된 모형으로 스마트폰 분야만이 아닌 사용자경험 분야에 전반적으로 적용 가능할 것으로 기대하며, 기업이 갖고 있는 소비자 데이터와 결합한다면, 특정 소비자층을 겨냥한 제품 생산 및 설계가 가능한 지능형 디자인 가치 평가 모형으로 발전할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

This study classifies consumers according to apparel shopping values to find the differences of apparel attributes in accordance to shopping value segments between Korean and Chinese college students. College students from Seoul and Beijing participated in the study and a quota sampling method collected the data. Data from 504 questionnaires is used for the statistical analysis. A factor analysis through, Cronbach's alpha coefficient, ANOVA, and a post-hoc test are conducted. Two factors of apparel shopping values are classified (hedonic shopping values and utilitarian shopping values). Four segments of apparel shopping value were classified (hedonic shopping, low involvement shopping segment, high involvement shopping, and utilitarian shopping). Three factors of apparel attribute are classified (external attributes, internal/aesthetic attributes, and internal/quality attributes). The result indicate that high involvement shopping segments considered all the clothing attributes more importantly than the other three segments. Chinese respondents of hedonic shopping segments and high involvement shopping segments considered advertisements in terms of external attributes, assembly, and fit in terms of internal/quality performance attributes as more important than Koreans. Chinese respondents of low involvement shopping segments also considered assembly and fit in terms of internal/quality performance attributes as more important than Koreans. Korean respondents of utilitarian shopping segments had a special regard for design and color in terms of internal/aesthetic attributes but the Chinese had a special regard for assembly, fit, and ease of maintenance in terms of internal/quality performance attributes.

Purpose: This study aims to propose Kano-SERVQUAL integrated approach as an effective tool for evaluating auto service quality attributes to enhance the use of SERVQUAL. Methods: The Kano-SERVQUAL survey was conducted to evaluate customer perception for 28 auto service quality attributes which were obtained from auto service expert in 'H' company. The correlation analysis of SI(Satisfaction Index), DI(Dissatisfaction Index) and expectation values are conducted in this study. Results: The 28 auto service quality attributes are classified into attractive attributes and one-dimensional attributes. The results of this study show that the correlations between the customers' expectation values and DI is strongly positive correlation with 1% significance level, expectation values and SI is negative correlation with 10% significance level. Conclusion: The results show that the purposed Kano-SERVQUAL integrated approach provides a deeper understanding of service quality attributes in that it distinguishes the customers' expectation values between highly expected attributes(e.g. must-be attribute) and less expected attributes(e.g. attractive attribute).

As the competition among hospitals become intensified, hospital management is required to carry out more effective marketing and positioning of the hospital. Successful positioning of a hospital requires the knowledge about how the concrete attributes inherent in the medical service associated with the customer values that customers seek eventually in the medical service. Thus, it is required for hospital management to understand which hospital attributes should be emphasized in order to improve the customer values. The hierarchical structure of service attributes can provide valuable information about effective positioning and advertising. To obtain such knowledge, we employed the order analysis technique as an objective means-end chain method. Order analysis is useful for identifying the causal structure among attributes. Thus, we can examine the underlying causal relationship and eventually the vertical structure of hospital selection attributes. For this study, we conducted a survey to obtain 370 responses for the analysis. The result suggests that hospital management had better increase the scale of hospital, improve the services of health care providers, and modernize the hospital facilities and equipments so as to enhance customer values and eventually to lead them to recommend the hospital to others. Our findings would provide the valuable information for hospital management to develop the more effective hospital positioning and marketing strategies.

This paper focuses on frequent flyer programs (FFPs), which have long been used by most airlines as a powerful marketing tool. Since the preference for FFPs reward services and the customer perceived values of mileage points differ among FFPs members, airlines should design a customer-oriented reward service based on customer preference to motivate the use of mileage points. The intention for using mileage points is affected by various kinds of attributes such as reword items, consuming mileage points for rewards and time of usage. In this paper, we focus on evaluating customer perceived values of attributes of FFPs reward services. A conjoint analysis model is applied to get the preference value of each attribute. Some empirical experiments are conducted in relation to Korean customers. From the empirical survey, the preference values of attributes are evaluated for different scenarios with respect to the number of mileage points. With the preference values of attributes, we can find several implications for airlines regarding the development of various FFPs strategies.
