  • 본 연구에서는 미국의 소비자 지출(1984-2002) 자료를 이용하여 교통과 통신간의 상호연관성을 분석하였다. 먼저 소비자 지출 전체 항목 중 교통 및 통신 관련 항목을 12가지로 분류하였으며, 데이터의 수가 적어 이 세부항목을 다시 5개의 대 항목(대중교통, 차량구입, 차량운영, 전자통신매체 인쇄통신매체)으로 그룹화한 후 Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand System(LA/AIDS) 기법을 이용하여 소비자 수요 모형을 개발하였다. 또한 평균 소비자 지출 분담율을 기준으로 교통과 통신의 소득 및 가격 탄력성을 산출하였다. 모형추정결과, 교통과 통신의 상호관계는 항목별로 대체(예, 대중교통 이용과 전자통신미디어 이용) 및 보완(예, 개인차량 구입과 전자통신미디어 이용)관계가 있는 것으로 규명되었다. 그리고 교통관련 항목의 소비자 지출이 통신관련 항목의 지출보다 소득면에서 보다 탄력적인 것으로 나타났다.

  • 과도한 국제경쟁, 예측하기 어려운 소비자들의 소비동향, 상품의 다양성과 상품의 사용 기간 단축을 포함한 환경의 변화들은 미국 의류산업에 혁신적 변화를 촉구해 왔다. 미국 의류업계는 이러한 도전들을 극복하기 위한 방편으로 소비자 중심의 사업 체계로 전환해 왔다. 의류업계는 저가격 중심의 대량생산이 아닌 정보기술, 유동성 있는 생산과정, 의류업계의 혁신적 조직구성을 접목한 맞춤형 주문제작 형태를 늘여가기 시작하였다. 이는 소비자들 각각의 필요를 충족시키기 위해 상품과 서비스의 범위를 넓히기 위한 수단인 것이다. 이 글은 현 미국 의류산업의 동향을 살펴보고 몇몇 혁신적 의류사업체들이 어떤 형태로 소비자들을 만나고 있는가를 제시한다. 이는 극도의 정보산업과 혁신적 기술산업의 접목을 추구하는 미국 의류산업의 현황을 잘 보여주며 미국 의류업계들이 과도한 국제경쟁 사회 속에서 이익추구를 위한 탈출구를 어떻게 마련하고 있는 지를 보여주는 좋은 예가 된다. 더 나아가 이는 한국 의류업계가 혁신적 전환을 시도할 시 좋은 예들로 사용되어 질 수 있을 것이다.

  • This study proposes the O P E N Triad framework as a future set of tools and perspectives for individual members and institutes to further their professional and academic potential as well as prospect and vitalize the future of the Korean Clothing and Textiles discipline through a global perspective. The millennial generation desires On-demand, Personal, Engaging, and Networked (O P E N) experiences effecting cultural change for creative and influential interaction in transactions, communication, and education. O P E N Individuals offers a WebSphere model as a holistic learning system that has a synergizing value of education across academic courses, industries, and cultures. Through a digitalized and virtualized class, it complements relevant technologies already familiar to the student population. By employing environmental scanning approaches, the most influential and viable future global issues related to the clothing and textiles discipline are identified and dialogued within O P E N Institutes. For future clothing and textiles institutes, this scanning allows them to be open to new ideas, to focus on inter-engagements, to collaborate among individuals, to associate as a part of web of people, organizations, and ideas, to personalize an institutes curricula, and to dialogue generative knowledge. O P E N Industries reveals three dominant future issues that cross academia and industry, sustainability, supply chain management, and social networking. In-depth interviews with U.S. industry experts identified interdependent gaps in global consumer experience practices and suggested the following gaps as future research areas: a standardized business model to the entrepreneurial model, strategic management to a sustainable competitive advantage, standardized to differentiated products, services and operations, market segmentation to global consumer clusters, business-driven marketplaces to consumer-engaged marketspaces, and excellent services to optimal experience. This O P E N Triad framework empowers millennial students, universities, and industries to anticipate and prepare for a radically changing world.

  • 우리나라의 노인인구가 전체인구에서 차지하는 비율이 다른 선진국에 비해 빠르게 증가함에 따라 한국경제에 있어 노년소비자층이 중요한 수요자로 부상하고 있다. 이렇듯 노년소비자 시장규모의 확대와 노년생활을 위한 연금제도의 확산으로 노년소비자 구매력의 비중이 크게 향상되고 있으므로 기업이 시장에서 경쟁적 우위를 차지하기 위해서는 노년소비자 구매행동의 특성을 파악하고 이에 적합한 마케팅 전략을 개발해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 노년소비자의 구매행동특성을 파악하기 위해 이 분야에 관한 선행연구들을 검토하고 미국의 노년소비자와 비교분석하기 위한 후레임을 작성하였으며, 미국 노년소비자의 구매행동에 관한 기존의 연구들에서 많은 변수를 추출하여 작성한 설문으로 약품/건강 보조식품, 식품/주류, 의류/신발, 전기/전자제품, 또한 보험회사, 종합병원, 금융기관 등 특정 서비스업체 선호이유와 식품점, 약국 등 점포선정 이유를 조사하여 이를 미국노년소비자의 경우와 비교분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서의 조사 분석 결과는 이미 고령사회에 진입한 미국의 시장환경과는 차이가 있으나, 우리나라 노년소비자를 대상으로 마케팅활동을 전개하는 기업들이 소비자 구매행동에 관한 마케팅 전략을 수립하는 데 지표로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • From the review of Korean arbitration systems with the comparison of those of other countries, we can summarize some issues to be tackled as follows: First, Korean arbitration system started with the purpose of export promotion. This may be the main reason that various domestic disputes have not been resolved by arbitration. Second, the Korean Arbitration Law applies to private disputes. The Law's arbitration scope is wider than that of China and France, but narrower than that of the U.S.A. that encompasses a variety of disputes in the filed of consumer, labor, medical services, patents, etc. Third, active judges or public officials in Korea can not be arbitrator and there is no arbitration court. However, if chief judge allows the necessity, court's judges in the UK can be arbitrator with the mutual agreement of the parties and also arbitration system is operated in the court. Fourth, the Korean Commercial Arbitration Board(KCAB), the only representative institution for arbitration in Korea, is under the Ministry of Knowledge Economy(MKE). This makes it difficult for the KCAB to handle other disputes related to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the Ministry of Employment and Labor, etc. Fifth, as mentioned, the KCAB is the unique institution for arbitration by the Law in Korea, while other countries allow have a diversity of arbitration agencies such as maritime arbitration organization, consumer arbitration institution, arbitration court, etc. Therefore, we suggest some ideas to expand the arbitration's area of coverage in Korea as follows: First, there should be more active policies that promote various domestic disputes to be settled by the arbitration system. Second, it is quite needed to expand the scope of arbitration to cover many disputes in the fields of consumer, labor, medical service, advertising, fair trade, etc. Third, there should be discussions to allow court judges as arbitrator and to introduce the arbitration court. Fourth, the KCAB should strengthen its status and roles as general arbitration organization to overcome the limited scope of commercial disputes. For this, there should be the strong support and coordination among the MKE and other government agencies. Fifth, to reduce the burden of the court's complicated and expensive procedures, more efficient disputes resolution systems should be established on the basis of the parties' free will. Each central government agency should streamline the legal barriers to allow industrial organizations under its control to establish their own or joint arbitration system with the KCAB.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of employment related factors on household savings for precautionary purposes when controlling for financial security and to compare the results between the two different economic periods. A conceptual framework was developed based on the precautionary saving theory, the family stress theory, and previous empirical studies. As a self-insurance, a measure of security funds were developed and used as the dependent variable. Using data on working households in the 1992 and the 1998 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), a MLE estimation was conducted on the pooled data. The 1992 and 1998 data were used to reflect periods of economic recession and expansion, respectively. The results suggested that factors representing resources played the most significant role in determining the amount of security funds. Some of the employment related factors, preferences, financial security, and race were also significantly affected the amount of security funds. The results suggested that stable employment conditions were important for households to accumulate security funds. Households with more human resources and financial resources had a larger amount of security funds than those that had less human and financial resources. From the findings, implications for research, policies, and financial educators had been suggested.

  • The purpose of this study is to compare the impulsive purchasing tendency of Korean and U.S. college students. In particular, the study examined the effects of self-regulated learning and self-regulated consumption on college students' impulsive buying tendency. A total of 680 valid samples were obtained from online self-reported surveys in Korea and the United States. Both self-regulated learning and self-regulated consumption (self-control and self-supervision) were higher in US college students than Korean students. Self-regulated learning did not influence impulsive purchasing tendency. However, the impulsive purchasing tendency increased as the level of self-supervision among self-regulated consumption decreased. When purchases were made in stores, impulsive purchasing tendency increased in both South Korea and the US. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to decrease the impulsive purchasing tendency by fostering self-regulated consumption capacity of college students through consumer education.

  • This paper proposes a Ubiquitous Henhouse Monitoring System (UHMS) that can not only monitor henhouse's conditions and raising environments, but also control the henhouse remotely by using sensor network technology. The system consists of three layers. The physical layer connects sensors with facilities. The middleware layer processes and manages data collected from the physical layer. And the application layer provides the user with the user requested services. The system provides a real-time monitoring service, a facility controlling service, an expert service, a consumer safety service, and a mobile message service via interacting with components of each layer. Finally, a henhouse model is defined and the relevant system components and the application GUIs are implemented.
