  • Sales promotion is defined as the short-term incentive to encourage the purchase or sale of products and services. Retailers conduct a variety of sales promotion to encourage the purchase or sale of products and services. It is often used to induce the purchase of customers in short term and to improve the relationship with customers in the long term. Many previous studies about the effect of price discount SP on increase in sales and image improvement have conducted. But the study of non-price promotion, especially SP with 'Gifts', meanwhile, has been seldom researched. This study is to investigate the effect of the Gift SP conducted by retailers on the customer evaluation of the product and its Gifts. This study is to investigate the effect of 'Gifts', among the non-price promotion, on the customer evaluation. First of all, previous studies about the effect (-) of Sp with 'Gifts' on the customer evaluation of the product and its Gifts, and the factors that offset the negative effect of SP with 'Gifts' on quality perception are to examined. In this study, additionally, the summary of the study based on the previous studies and the research subject in the future are to be presented. Firstly, to examine the previous researches on the effect of SP which retailers conduct on the increased sales and or enhanced image, price discount SP has attracted a lot of attention as a research subject but researches on non-price sales promotion, particularly on SP with gift have seldom conducted as a research subject. Secondly, in the previous studies relevant to Price Discount SP, the long-term negative (-) effect of the target product or brand of SP has been studied. However, a few researches on the long-term negative (-) effect of SP with gift have been conducted. Thirdly, it might be brand affinity and purchase limit that buffered the negative (-) effect on the perceived quality of SP with gift which retailers had conducted. In spite of various studies conducted by many researchers, each study have discussed the consequences under certain circumstances and integrated results of research have not been in progress. It may be the research issues left to us to clearly identify the psychological mechanism of consumers until the effect of SP happens in order to theorize SP and to present a practical and useful suggestion.

  • 전통적인 오프라인 중심의 상거래 방식은 온라인과 모바일 기술의 발전으로 인해 크게 변화하고 있으며, 이러한 변화는 구매 패턴에 관한 소비자 행동의 변화를 동반했다. 온라인 쇼핑의 성장에도 불구하고 몽골에는 여전히 '가공식품'과 같은 특정 제품군에서는 전통적인 오프라인 매장을 더욱 선호하고 있다. 이러한 온라인과 오프라인 채널의 공존과 기능 변화에 대응하기 위해서는 기존 채널에 대한 성과를 면밀히 분석해야 한다. 특히, 채널의 역할 전환 혹은 통합과 같은 새로운 전략을 수립할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 몽골 유통 시장을 중심으로 오프라인 매장에 대한 매출, 이익, 판매량과 같은 성과 지표를 기준으로 군집분석을 실시하였으며, 각 군집의 특징을 주변환경과 비교하여 주요 특징을 발견하였다. 주요 군집에 속한 오프라인 매장의 성과 향상을 위해 온-오프라인 채널 간의 풀필먼트 허브 매장, 고객의 매장 체류 시간을 늘리기 위한 체험 매장, 그리고 매장 특성에 따라 서로 보완하여 트래픽을 증가시킬 수 있는 비관련 채널 간의 합병 등 세 가지 전략을 제안하였다. 이를 통해, 기존 유통 채널의 다변화와 함께 고객 경험 향상 및 수익성 개선을 달성할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 치매노인을 부양하는 배우자와 성인자녀가 접하는 어려움이 다름에도 불구하고, 선행 연구들은 이들을 한 집단으로 묶어 요양시설로의 입소에 미치는 요소를 분석하였다. 미국 뉴저지(New Jersey)와 오하이오(Ohio)주에 거주하는 치매 노인 부양자 456명을 대상으로 사건사 분석(Event History Analysis)을 실시한 결과, 배우자 부양자가 성인자녀 부양자에 비해 치매노인을 더 빨리 요양시설로 보내는 경향을 보여주었다. 치매노인의 연령과 역할 구속감(Role Captivity)은 두 집단 모두에게 유의미한 변수였는데, 치매노인의 연령과 부양자의 역할 구속감(Role Captivity)이 높을수록 요양시설로의 입소가 빨라지는 경향을 보였다. 교육수준과 소득은 성인자녀 부양자에게만 유의미한 변수로, 교육수준이 높을수록 시설로의 입소가 지연되었던 반면, 소득이 높을수록 시설로의 입소는 빨라지는 경향을 보였다. 한편 탁노소(Adult Day Care) 이용과 피부양자의 문제행동(Behavioral Problems)은 배우자 부양자에게만 유의미한 변수였으며, 탁노소를 이용할 경우와 피부양자의 문제행동이 증가할수록 요양시설로의 입소가 빨라지는 경향을 보였다.

  • 급격히 성장하고 있는 중국의 외식시장을 겨냥한 한식 외식상품의 개발 및 진출 가능성을 알아보기 위해 sous-vide 잡채의 양념 배합 비율에 대한 한국과 중국 소비자의 기호도를 조사하였다. 잡채 시료는 각 재료를 개별 조리한 후 최종단계에서 혼합하는 전통적인 방법 대신 모든 재료를 한꺼번에 진공포장한 후 저온 조리하는 sous-vide 조리법을 적용하여 외식 상품으로 개발하였다. Sous-vide 잡채에 대한 소비자 기호도 조사는 한국인 119명과 중국인 136명을 대상으로 각각 서울과 북경에서 실시하였다. 소비자 기호도 조사는 sous-vide 잡채 양념의 간장 설탕, 샐러드유의 배합비를 달리하여 간장 설탕 혼합물의 비율을 저(8%), 중(13%), 고(18%) 3개 수준으로, 샐러드유의 비율을 무(0%), 중(12%), 고(24%) 3개 수준으로 첨가하여 제조한 9개의 잡채 시료에 대하여 전반적, 외관, 향미, 짠맛, 단맛, 기름진 맛의 기호도와 구매의향을 알아보았다. 잡채에 대한 소비자조사에서 한국인의 경우 전반적, 외관, 향미, 짠맛, 단맛 기호도 및 구매의향은 샐러드유의 양과 관계없이 간장 설탕 혼합물을 중 고비율로 첨가한 군에서 유의적으로 높은 경향을 보였다(P<0.001). 기름진 맛의 기호도는 간장 설탕 혼합물을 중 고비율, 기름을 무 중비율로 첨가한 군에서 유의적으로 높은 경향을 나타냈다(P<0.001). 중국인의 경우 전반적 기호도, 향미 기호도와 구매의향은 간장 설탕 혼합물이 고비율, 샐러드유가 중 고비율로 첨가된 군에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.001). 짠맛과 단맛 기호도에서는 모두 샐러드유의 양과 관계없이, 짠맛 기호도는 간장 설탕 혼합물을 고비율로 첨가한 군, 단맛 기호도는 간장 설탕 혼합물을 중 고비율로 첨가한 군에서 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.001). 기름진 맛 기호도는 간장 설탕 혼합물의 비율과 관계없이 샐러드유를 무 중비율로 첨가한 군이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.01). 외관 기호도에서는 모든 시료 간에 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 대체로 한국인과 중국인 모두 샐러드유량과 관계없이 간장 설탕 혼합물을 중 고비율로 첨가한 군을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 한국인은 간장 설탕 혼합물을 저비율로 첨가한 군을 일관적으로 가장 좋아하지 않는다고 답했으며, 중국인은 한국인보다 간장 설탕 혼합물 저 고비율 첨가군을 더 선호하였다. 반면 샐러드유의 첨가비율은 간장 설탕의 첨가비율에 비하여 양 국가소비자의 기호도에 크게 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 한국인과 중국인의 한식과 잡채에 대한 인식을 조사하고, 선호하는 잡채 양념의 간장 설탕 및 샐러드유의 양을 찾아내었다. 이 결과를 통해 한식 외식 상품으로서의 잡채 개발을 위한 방향의 제시와 중국시장 진출 가능성을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 한식의 중국 현지화를 위한 외식 상품 개발 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

  • This study is an empirical investigation and study on the measurement of nursing service quality as perceived by patients. A series of H1. H2. H3 alternative hypotheses were tested using a sample of 250 patients in Taegu City. Korea. HI hypothese were tested for application of five component of service quality (SERVQlTAL and SE RPERF : tangiblity. reliability. responsiveness. accessibility. understandability) in Taegu area Hospitals. Validity test - the five components of service quality were rearranged into two components of service quality (personal factor. nonpersonal factor). Although SERVQUAL was verified in USA. application for five components of service quality in Korea indicated that it need more analytical studies. Nobody can deny the fact that the recent growth of the nursing service quality is one of the most important driving forces of hospital management. In many hospitals. the nursing quality charges more than 50% of the medical service quality. As a result. many hospital managers should be enormous interests in the investment potentiality of the nursing service. However. doesn't many researchers invest their time and effort on the research of the quality control in nursing service. Nursing service management is the process to satisfy customer's desires and expectations through the various service activities. Presently nursing service are being faced with three Common tasks of improving quality of nursing service. competitively differential advantage and productivity because of quantitative expansion of Nursing service. Such a phenomenon is also found in our medical service industry. resulting from increasing demands for medical service owing to national medical insurance policy and consumer's attitude change emphasizing prevention of illness. excessiveness of medical facilities in large cities and increasing medical lawsuits due to influence of consumerism. Therefore. under such circumstances. this research on nursing service is conducted from nursing managements to improve the nursing service quality problems faced by medical institutions. The results of this theoretical/empirical research are as follows: 1. Nursing service Quality is regarded as patients' perceived quality and evaluated on the basis (5 dimension) of technical and functional quality. 2. Nursing service Quality is a concept of patients evaluation on the measurable multi-dimensions intrinsic and extrinsic attributes of service. 3. Nursing service Quality is conceptually defined as the difference between the perceived service and the expected service. 4. Korean consumers trend to evaluate nursing service quality based on such dimensions as responsiveness and reliability. understandability. accessibility. tangibility. 5. After analyzing whether or not there are some differences in respective medical institution. it was found that there are significant difference on understandability. reliability. communicability. courtesy. competence. 6. After analyzing the difference between the expected nursing service and the nursing perceived service, it was found that the expected nursing service is higher than the perceived service in every medical institution. 7. HI hypothesis was tested with regard to the validity test between SERVQUAL and SERVPERF in nursing service quality. The result of validity test between SERVQUAL and SERVPERF was found to have differential result. That is the R2 of SERVPERF is higher than that of SERVQUAL. Therefore. HI was verified in nursing management. H2. H3 hypotheses were tested whether or not the nursing service quality and patient satisfaction is the preceding variable. The result of H2 hypothes is that the nursing service quality is the preceding variable of patient satisfaction and the patient satisfaction is that of revisiting intention. After analyzing whether or not there is any differences on the demographic variable of five nursing service quality factor. it was found that there are statistically significant differences on communicability and courtesy at the sex. understand ability. accessibility and tangibility at the age. understandability at the academic background respectively.

  • Despite the enforcement of SSM control laws such as 'the Law of Developing the Distribution Industry (LDDI)' and 'the Law of Promoting Mutual Cooperation between Large and Small/medium Enterprises (LPMC)' stipulating the business adjustment system, the number of super-supermarkets (SSMs) has ever been expanding in Korea. In France, however, Super Centers are being regulated most strongly and directly in the whole Europe viewing that there is not a single SSM in Paris, which is emphasized to be the outcome from French government's regulation exerted on the opening of large scale retail stores. In France, the authority to approve store opening is deeply centralized and the store opening regulation is a socio-economic regulation driven by economic laws whereas EU strongly regulates the distribution industry. To control the French distribution industry, such seven laws and regulations as Commission départementale d'urbanisme commercial guidelines (CDLIC) (1969), the Royer Law (1973), the Doubin Law (1990), the Sapin Law (1993), the Raffarin Law (1996), solidarite et renouvellement urbains (SRU) (2000), and Loi de modernisation de l'économie (LME) (2009) have been promulgated one by one since the amendment of the Fontanet guidelines, through which commercial adjustment laws and regulations have been complemented and reinforced while regulatory measures have been taken. Even in the course of forming such strong regulatory laws, InterMarche, the largest supermarket chain in France, has been in existence as a global enterprise specialized in retail distribution with over 4,000 stores in Europe. InterMarche's business can be divided largely into two segments of food and non-food. As a supermarket chain, InterMarche's food segment has 2,300 stores in Europe and as a hard-discounter store chain in France, Netto has 420 stores. Restaumarch is a chain of traditional family restaurants and the steak house restaurant chain of Poivre Rouge has 4 restaurants currently. In addition, there are others like Ecomarche which is a supermarket chain for small and medium cities. In the non-food segment, the DIY and gardening chain of Bricomarche has a total of 620 stores in Europe. And the car-related chain of Roady has a total of 158 stores in Europe. There is the clothing chain of Veti as well. In view of InterMarche's management strategies, since its distribution strategy is to sell goods at cheap prices, buying goods cheap only is not enough. In other words, in order to sell goods cheap, it is all important to buy goods cheap, manage them cheap, systemize them cheap, and transport them cheap. In quality assurance, InterMarche has guaranteed the purchase safety for consumers by providing its own private brand products. InterMarche has 90 private brands of its own, thus being the retailer with the largest number of distributor brands in France. In view of its IT service strategy, InterMarche is utilizing a high performance IT system so as to obtainas much of the market information as possible and also to find out the best locations for opening stores. In its global expansion strategy of international alliance, InterMarche has established the ALDIS group together with the distribution enterprises of both Spain and Germany in order to expand its food purchase, whereas in the non-food segment, it has established the ARENA group in alliance with 11 international distribution enterprises. Such strategies of InterMarche have been intended to find out the consumer needs for both price and quality of goods and to secure the purchase and supply networks which are closely localized. It is necessary to cope promptly with the constantly changing circumstances through being unified with relevant regions and by providing diversified customer services as well. In view of the InterMarche's positive policy for promoting local partnerships as well as the assistance for enhancing the local economic structure, implications are existing for those retail distributors of our country.

  • 우리나라의 수산정책(水産政策)과 원양어업관련(遠洋漁業關聯) 정부규제(政府規制)는 과거부터 연안어업보호(沿岸漁業保護)와 기존사업자간의 이해조정을 위해 제한적이고 간섭적인 요소가 많이 존재하고 있다. 이는 사업자들의 기술개발(技術開發) 및 비용절감(費用節減) 의지(意志)를 약화시켜 산업의 장기적 체질강화(體質强化)를 위해서도 바람직하지 않을 뿐 아니라, 사업자간의 형평문제(衡平問題)도 야기하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 오랜 동안 누적되어온 어가안정정책(魚價安定政策)은 국내어가(國內魚價)의 상승을 초래하여 국민경제적 부담이 되고 있을 뿐 아니라, 어업의 산업구조조정(産業構造調整)을 지연시키고 연안(沿岸) 어자원(魚資源)의 고갈을 촉진시키는 한 요인이 되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 현행 원양어업(遠洋漁業) 관련정책(關聯政策) 정부규제(政府規制)의 문제점을 검토하고 원양어업의 장기적 발전과 자율화의 추세에 부응하기 위한 정부규제(政府規制)의 개선방안(改善方案)을 제시하고자 하였다. 주요개선방안으로는 허가과정(許可過程)의 객관화(客觀化)와 투명화(透明化)를 보장하기 위한 의무허가제(義務許可制)의 도입과 이를 통한 연근해어업(沿近海漁業) 구조조정기금(構造調整基金)의 조성, 허가조건 및 업종구분의 단순화와 어선확보(漁船確保)에 대한 규제의 완화를 통한 경영합리화(經營合理化) 여건의 조성, 신어장개척(新漁場開拓)에 대한 유인제공 등을 제시하고 있다.

  • 국내에서 주곡인 쌀은 재배 면적이 감소되고 있으나, 단위 면적당 생산량이 증가되고 쌀 소비는 급감하고 있는 상황에서 외국 쌀 의무수입량은 연간 409천 톤으로 쌀 생산조정 노력에도 불구하고 재고량이 누적되고 있다. 따라서 비상 시 식량안보를 위하여 현 재배면적을 유지하면서 생산량을 감축해야 할 필요성이 있다. 또한 농촌노동력의 노령화 및 지구온난화에 대응하여 노동력 절감과 생산비를 절감으로 농가 소득을 증대하고 친환경 유기농업으로 토양에 유기탄소의 저장력을 높이며, 온실가스 발생량을 줄이는 저탄소 농업기술을 개발, 지속가능한 농업환경을 조성하여 후손에게 물려주어야 할 책무가 있다. 쌀 수급안정에 대한 대안으로서 현 재배면적을 유지하면서 전국의 친환경재배 면적을 현재의 전남 수준인 17%까지 확대하는 1단계, 점차 확산하여 25%까지 확대하는 2단계, 중점확대로 친환경 면적을 35%까지 확대하는 3단계 시나리오를 설정하였다. 쌀 단가를 동일한 고정단가로 분석한 결과 1단계에서는 쌀 생산량은 6만톤 감축되고 생산비는 592억원 증가되며, 소득은 2,015억원 감소될 것으로 추정되었다. 2단계로 친환경농업을 점차 확산할 경우 쌀 생산량은 9만 톤 감축되고, 생산비는 1,221억원 증가되며, 소득은 3,137억원 감소될 것으로 추정되었다. 그리고 3단계에서는 쌀 생산량이 38만 톤 감축되고, 생산비는 2,220억원 증가되며, 소득은 4,645억원 감소될 것으로 추정되었다. 그리고 변동단가를 적용하면 친환경재배는 관행 일반재배에 비하여 소득은 11.5~14.5% 증가되며, 순소득은 -2.9~27.8% 증가되는 효과가 있다. 그리고 저탄소 벼 부분경운 동시 이앙 시범재배 단지 10 ha 조성 시나리오를 설정하여 분석한 결과, 단지별로 쌀 수량은 1.3~1.5톤이 감소되지만 쌀 생산비 감소로 농가소득은 증가되는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 생산조정 면적 8만 ha를 시행하는데 소요되는 정부 재정지출 예산을 감안하면 정부재정 범위 내에서 친환경 및 저탄소 농업 확대에 일정부분 지원이 가능할 것으로 생각되었다. 현재의 쌀 재고량 감축을 위한 재고관리에 일정한 한계가 있는 상황에서, 친환경 및 저탄소 농업으로 인한 생산비 증가나 소득감소를 재정적으로 뒷받침해 타작목에 영향을 최소화하면서 지속가능한 농업 환경 보전은 물론 식량안보와 소비자의 안전에도 기여하는 등, 친환경과 저탄소농업 확대는 적은 비용으로 큰 효과를 거둘 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • The interplay between hedonic and utilitarian attributes has assumed special significance in recent years; it has been proposed that consumption offerings should be viewed as experiences that stimulate both cognitions and feelings rather than as mere products or services. This research builds on previous work on hedonic versus utilitarian benefits, regulatory focus theory, customer satisfaction to address two question: (1) Is the shopping goal at the point of purchase different from the shopping value? and (2) Is the customer loyalty after the use different from the shopping value and shopping goal? We surveyed 345 peoples those who have bought the electronic-goods within 6 months. This research dealt with the shopping value which is consisted of 2 types, hedonic and utilitarian. Those who pursue the hedonic shopping value may prefer the pleasure of purchasing experience to the product itself. They tend to prefer atmosphere, arousal of the shopping experience. Consistent with previous research, we use the term "hedonic" to refer to their aesthetic, experiential and enjoyment-related value. On the contrary, Those who pursue the utilitarian shopping value may prefer the reasonable buying. It may be more functional. Consistent with previous research, we use the term "utilitarian" to refer to the functional, instrumental, and practical value of consumption offerings. Holbrook(1999) notes that consumer value is an experience that results from the consumption of such benefits. In the context of cell phones for example, the phone's battery life and sound volume are utilitarian benefits, whereas aesthetic appeal from its shape and color are hedonic benefits. Likewise, in the case of a car, fuel economics and safety are utilitarian benefits whereas the sunroof and the luxurious interior are hedonic benefits. The shopping goals are consisted of the promotion focus goal and the prevention focus goal, based on the self-regulatory focus theory. The promotion focus is characterized into focusing ideal self because they are oriented to wishes and vision. The promotion focused individuals are tend to be more risk taking. They are more sensitive to hope and achievement. On the contrary, the prevention focused individuals are characterized into focusing the responsibilities because they are oriented to safety. The prevention focused individuals are tend to be more risk avoiding. We wanted to test the relation among the shopping value, shopping goal and customer loyalty. Customers show the positive or negative feelings comparing with the expectation level which customers have at the point of the purchase. If the result were bigger than the expectation, customers may feel positive feeling such as delight or satisfaction and they would want to share their feelings with other people. And they want to buy those products again in the future time. There is converging evidence that the types of goals consumers expect to be fulfilled by the utilitarian dimension of a product are different from those they seek from the hedonic dimension (Chernev 2004). Specifically, whereas consumers expect the fulfillment of product prevention goals on the utilitarian dimension, they expect the fulfillment of promotion goals on the hedonic dimension (Chernev 2004; Chitturi, Raghunathan, and Majahan 2007; Higgins 1997, 2001) According to the regulatory focus theory, prevention goals are those that ought to be met. Fulfillment of prevention goals in the context of product consumption eliminates or significantly reduces the probability of a painful experience, thus making consumers experience emotions that result from fulfillment of prevention goals such as confidence and securities. On the contrary, fulfillment of promotion goals are those that a person aspires to meet, such as "looking cool" or "being sophisticated." Fulfillment of promotion goals in the context of product consumption significantly increases the probability of a pleasurable experience, thus enabling consumers to experience emotions that result from the fulfillment of promotion goals. The proposed conceptual framework captures that the relationships among hedonic versus utilitarian shopping values and promotion versus prevention shopping goals respectively. An analysis of the consequence of the fulfillment and frustration of utilitarian and hedonic value is theoretically worthwhile. It is also substantively relevant because it helps predict post-consumption behavior such as the promotion versus prevention shopping goals orientation. Because our primary goal is to understand how the post consumption feelings influence the variable customer loyalty: word of mouth (Jacoby and Chestnut 1978). This research result is that the utilitarian shopping value gives the positive influence to both of the promotion and prevention goal. However the influence to the prevention goal is stronger. On the contrary, hedonic shopping value gives influence to the promotion focus goal only. Additionally, both of the promotion and prevention goal show the positive relation with customer loyalty. However, the positive relation with promotion goal and customer loyalty is much stronger. The promotion focus goal gives the influence to the customer loyalty. On the contrary, the prevention focus goal relates at the low level of relation with customer loyalty than that of the promotion goal. It could be explained that it is apt to get framed the compliment of people into 'gain-non gain' situation. As the result, for those who have the promotion focus are motivated to deliver their own feeling to other people eagerly. Conversely the prevention focused individual are more sensitive to the 'loss-non loss' situation. The research result is consistent with pre-existent researches. There is a conceptual parallel between necessities-needs-utilitarian benefits and luxuries-wants-hedonic benefits (Chernev 2004; Chitturi, Raghunathan and Majaha 2007; Higginns 1997; Kivetz and Simonson 2002b). In addition, Maslow's hierarchy of needs and the precedence principle contends luxuries-wants-hedonic benefits higher than necessities-needs-utilitarian benefits. Chitturi, Raghunathan and Majaha (2007) show that consumers are focused more on the utilitarian benefits than on the hedonic benefits of a product until their minimum expectation of fulfilling prevention goals are met. Furthermore, a utilitarian benefit is a promise of a certain level of functionality by the manufacturer or the retailer. When the promise is not fulfilled, customers blame the retailer and/or the manufacturer. When negative feelings are attributable to an entity, customers feel angry. However in the case of hedonic benefit, the customer, not the manufacturer, determines at the time of purchase whether the product is stylish and attractive. Under such circumstances, customers are more likely to blame themselves than the manufacturer if their friends do not find the product stylish and attractive. Therefore, not meeting minimum utilitarian expectations of functionality generates a much more intense negative feelings, such as anger than a less intense feeling such as disappointment or dissatisfactions. The additional multi group analysis of this research shows the same result. Those who are unsatisfactory customers who have the prevention focused goal shows higher relation with WOM, comparing with satisfactory customers. The research findings in this article could have significant implication for the personal selling fields to increase the effectiveness and the efficiency of the sales such that they can develop the sales presentation strategy for the customers. For those who are the hedonic customers may be apt to show more interest to the promotion goal. Therefore it may work to strengthen the design, style or new technology of the products to the hedonic customers. On the contrary for the utilitarian customers, it may work to strengthen the price competitiveness. On the basis of the result from our studies, we demonstrated a correspondence among hedonic versus utilitarian and promotion versus prevention goal, WOM. Similarly, we also found evidence of the moderator effects of satisfaction after use, between the prevention goal and WOM. Even though the prevention goal has the low level of relation to WOM, those who are not satisfied show higher relation to WOM. The relation between the prevention goal and WOM is significantly different according to the satisfaction versus unsatisfaction. In addition, improving the promotion emotions of cheerfulness and excitement and the prevention emotion of confidence and security will further improve customer loyalty. A related potential further research could be to examine whether hedonic versus utilitarian, promotion versus prevention goals improve customer loyalty for services as well. Under the budget and time constraints, designers and managers are often compelling to choose among various attributes. If there is no budget or time constraints, perhaps the best solution is to maximize both hedonic and utilitarian dimension of benefits. However, they have to make trad-off process between various attributes. For the designers and managers have to keep in mind that without hedonic benefit satisfaction of the product it may hard to lead the customers to the customer loyalty.
