This study investigates customers' different behavior in accumulating and redeeming points and focuses on the moderating effect of usage level. We measure the hedonic accumulation and redemption ratio and usage level using loyalty program transaction data and link them to the survey data of loyalty and satisfaction. By doing so, we examine the effects of hedonic accumulation and redemption ratio on a consumer's loyalty intention and his or her satisfaction and the moderating effect of usage level. The result shows that there is a significant positive effect of hedonic accumulation and redemption ratio on customer loyalty and the mediating role of satisfaction on customer loyalty in both stages. And accumulation and redemption most importantly, we find an interaction effect of usage level on outlet type in point redemption stage while no effect in accumulation stage. That is if customers accumulate and redeem points at a hedonic outlets in both stages, it will give him a feeling of satisfaction and finally it will enhance the loyalty toward the focal loyalty program. And light buyers' loyalty increase more than those of heavy buyers when they redeem points in hedonic outlet. Our findings will help marketing managers of loyalty program to apply the effective segmentation strategy to the reward program which affects the customer's satisfaction and loyalty.

In this note, a recent work in Won (2011) which investigates properties of the newsvendor model under progressive multiple discounts is revisited and a complete proof is provided for the conjecture on the consistent advantage of progressive multiple discounts over no-discounts in terms of the expected profit. The proof considers the generalized newsvendor model under progressive multiple discounts extended with positive shortage cost and salvage value which have not been considered in the previous newsvendor models under progressive multiple discounts. Without relying on derivatives, we prove that the expected profit under progressive multiple discounts are consistently greater than or equal to the one under no-discounts for every order quantity as far as her multiple discounts do not decrease customer demand, and therefore, the optimal expected profit under progressive multiple discounts is always greater than or equal to the one under no-discounts. As by-products from the proof, some interesting features of the generalized newsvendor model under progressive multiple discounts are revealed.

본 연구는 고객들에게 매력적인 관심을 끌 수 있는 고객 재방문의 요소를 알아보고 성공할 수 있는 음식점 콘셉트와 스토리텔링에 의한 고객의 재방문에 관한 연구에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 음식점 콘셉트나 광고, 음식점 인테리어도 이제는 음식점의 메뉴/서비스의 특징이나 다른 음식점과의 비교우위를 강조하던 전략에서 벗어나 이야기를 들려주는 방식으로 표현 콘셉트를 변화해야 할 것이다. 논문의 연구결과를 살펴보면, 멤버십 카드나 레스토랑을 이용하는 편리성과 같은 금전적 또는 비금전적 '전환비용'이 일시적 고객만족의 실패로 인한 레스토랑 고객들의 부정적 감정이나 낮은 만족수준을 보완해주고 레스토랑을 재방문하도록 만드는 효과가 있다고 한다. 따라서 이러한 전환비용이 고객유지에 미치는 영향을 충분히 고려한다면 효과적인 수단으로 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 레스토랑과 같은 고급 음식점에서는 음식의 맛, 고객 서비스, 음식점 분위기 등의 수준향상을 통해 방문고객의 긍정적 소비감정을 느끼게 되면 고객만족과 재방문 의도를 강화시키는 것이며, 점포 콘셉트, 물리적 환경과 같은 경험적 요소, 조명을 이용한 시각적 식감의 수준향상을 꾀하는 것도 중요하다. 또한, 긍정적 소비감정을 유발하려면 점포 콘셉트, 물리적 환경, 경험적 요소를 활용한다. 즉, 멤버십 카드, 마일리지 포인트, 고객과의 친분 등 다양한 금전적, 비금전적 마케팅 수단을 평상시 제공한다면 고객의 재방문에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것이다.

Firms have reexamined and restructured their supply chain based on a long-term and partnership perspective as a firm's competitive advantage increasingly relies on its supply chain capability. A number of scholar works has provided evidence to support the positive effects of supply chain collaboration; however, the relationship between collaboration and performance is still inconclusive. This study refuses to have blinded faith on supply chain collaboration, but rather this paper suggests that the contribution of collaboration to supply chain performance improvement can be limited and vary along the contextual characteristics of a buyer-supplier relationship. Moreover, we argue that the relationship between supply chain collaboration and performance can be curvilinear. This paper provides and test hypotheses regarding the relationship between supply chain collaboration and performance. By using data of the Manufacturing Panel Survey (MPS), this study empirically validates the hypotheses. Overall, the results of the study support our hypotheses about a limited contribution of supply chain collaboration to manufacturing performance, which is opposite to a conventional expectation. Particularly, the effects of supply chain collaboration differ depending on the dimensions of performance such as customer satisfaction, quality, cost, delivery, and flexibility as well as the dependency in the buyer-supplier relationship. Moreover, the results of the study indicate that supply chain collaboration and performance may have curvilinear relationships in a certain context. Through a comprehensive model and empirical evidence, this study presents a better understanding of supply chain collaboration and provokes an open discussion about the effects of collaboration. This study also provides insightful implications for managers of buyers as well as suppliers who wish to foster stronger supply chain performance via a deep buyer-supplier relationship and collaboration.

In the information age, cheap price of information processing and advances in personalization technology have allowed companies to enhance the relationships with their existing customers and to expand their customer base by effectively attracting new customers. However, most customers are reluctant to provide their personal information to companies. This study explores the tension between companies' desire to collect personal information to offer personalized services and their customers' privacy concerns. The psychological reactance theory suggests that when individuals feel that their behavioral choice is threatened or restricted, they are motivated to restore their freedom. Therefore, despite the expected benefits from personalized services, customers may perceive the services to be restrictive of their freedom to choose. This adverse effect may undermine the relationships between companies and their customers. We conducted experiments to explore the dynamic roles of transactional and environmental factors in motivating customers to provide personal information. We revisited online privacy issues from the perspective of psychological reactance. For the experiments, we created an online shop and randomly assigned the participants to one of the two experimental conditions-high and low levels of information requirements. The results of the experiment indicate that threatening the free choice serves as a transactional cost in online profiling. On the other hand, the expected benefits of personalization services have positive correlations with customers' willingness to provide personal information. This study explains privacy based on transactional and environmental factors. Our findings also indicate that the environmental factors such as the Internet privacy risk and trust propensity do not significantly affect the willingness to provide personal information when firms required much personal information. Implications and contributions are discussed.

본 연구는 콘도를 이용하면서 느꼈던 선택속성요인이 만족이나 추천 또는 재방문의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 특히 남녀의 성별, 그리고 연령대별 차이를 살펴보았다. 최근 1년 이내에 국내에서 콘도를 이용했던 경험이 있는 고객을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 실시하였고 약 500명의 설문이 분석대상이 되었다. 연구를 위해 제시한 모형을 검정하기 위하여 기초통계분석과 요인분석, 신뢰도 분석, 구조모형분석 등을 SPSS 18.0 및 AMOS 18.0을 활용하였다. 분석결과, 콘도 선택속성요인은 이용자의 만족에는 전반적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고 만족은 다시 추천이나 재방문에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 선택속성 성과는 5가지 요인으로 분류되었는데 시설성, 서비스, 상품성, 접근성, 비용성요인 모두 유의하였다. 남녀의 성별과 연령대별로 각각 차이를 나타냈는데, 남녀의 경우 남성은 비용성, 접근성, 서비스요인 순으로 만족에 영향을 미치고 있었으며, 여성의 경우는 상품성이 우선시 되었다. 만족하는 경우 남녀 모두 추천과 재방문에 영향을 미치고 있었으나 여성의 경우가 추천과 재방문에 남성보다 강한 정(+)의 관계를 보였다. 연령대별로 차이가 확연하게 나타났다. 젊은 층인 2~30대의 경우는 서비스요인이 가장 크게 영향을 미치고 있었으며 다음으로 상품성요인이었다. 반면에 40대 이상은 비용성요인이 가장 큰 영향요인이었으며 다음으로 상품성과 시설성요인이었다. 이들 모두 만족하는 경우 추천이나 재방문에 유의한 영향을 미치고 있었으나, 젊은 층이 추천이나 재방문에 대한 영향도가 크게 나타났다. 이 연구결과는 인구통계변인별로 콘도 선택속성의 다양한 요인이 만족이나 추천과 재방문의도에 영향을 주는 것을 밝힌 것으로 기업의 성과향상을 위한 경영 참고자료로 활용이 가능하겠다.
