This paper conducted an empirical study to identify the causal relationship of factors affecting the purchase intention of automobiles from the customer's point of view. This study sets the purchase intention as a result variable and constructs a causal model with brand image, product attributes (exdogenous variable), and customer value (endogenous variable) as a cause that affects purchase intention. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the symbolic image of the brand was found to have a very significant effect on customer value (p=0.01), and the external attribute of the product also had a significant effect on customer value (p=0.1). Second, customer value was found to have a very significant effect on purchase intention (p=0.01), and the functional image of the brand also had a significant effect on purchase intention (p=0.1). Third, there is a strong positive (+) correlation between the functional image of the brand and the symbolic image of the brand, the intrinsic attribute of the product, and the external attribute of the product, and also between the symbolic image of the brand and the intrinsic attribute of the product and There was also a positive (+) correlation between extrinsic attributes. Therefore, in order to increase customer value, automobile manufacturing companies have a functional value of products from a customer-oriented perspective. It is judged that every effort should be made to maintain a lasting relationship by grasping the values of customers, which are social values, emotional values, situational values, and cognitive values.

Despite the gradual growth of mobile markets according to an increased mobile distribution rate, empirical studies on the mobile shopping application markets are not sufficient. From the viewpoint of a large number of purchase of brand product in department store by customers and a high growth rate of mobile shopping by means of mobile shopping, we classified a principle variable, the interactivity, into three levels and verified the effects of the interactivity on the flow, effects of the flow on the purchase intention and the control effect of purchase level. In conclusion, among the three levels of the interactivity the customer-customer interactivity and the content-customer interactivity have positive effects on the flow, but company-customer has not. On the other hand, the customer-customer interactivity and the content-customer interactivity have a positive effect on the flow. Furthermore, the flow affects the purchase intention positively. After the verification of the direct effect of interactivity on the purchase intention, the content-customer interactivity only has a positive effect on the purchase intention. Lastly, the purchase level has a control effect when the customer-customer interactivity has a positive effect on the flow.
