소비자들의 구매과정에서 타인으로부터 수집되는 구전정보는 소비자의 제품에 대한 태도와 구매행동에 영향을 미치게 된다. 소비자들이 인지하는 구전정보 특성들 중 신뢰성은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 특히 소비자들은 신뢰할 수 있는 구전채널의 정보를 선호하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구에서는 구전정보의 채널유형이 오프라인 또는 온라인으로 제시되는 각각의 상황에서, 소비자 제품태도에 미치는 영향에 있어 차이가 존재하는지, 더불어 제품관여도 및 성별에 따른 집단 간 차이가 존재하는지를 살펴보았다. 연구결과 구전정보 채널유형(온라인/오프라인)이 소비자 태도에 미치는 영향은 온라인보다 오프라인에서 더 강하게 나타났다. 또한 구전정보 채널유형과 소비자 제품태도의 관계에서 소비자 제품관여도의 조절효과는 유의한 것으로 나타났지만, 성별의 조절효과는 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 기업은 소비자들을 대상으로 한 구전전략에서도 충분한 세분화전략을 고려하여야 하며, 구전의 채널이 온라인에 머무르지 않고 오프라인으로 확대 될 수 있는 방안을 모색해야 한다.

The purposes of this study were to segment consumers by on-line word of month and to find the differences among the segmented groups in regard to fashion involvement, internet perceived risk, and internet purchase behavior. The subjects of this study were female consumers who were members of online cafe in Korea. The data were collected during October, 2004. The respondents returned the questionnaires through internet and 480 questionnaires were finally used in the data analysis. The statistical analyses used for the study were factor analysis, cluster analysis, t-test, and $X^2-test$. The results showed that word-of·mouth communication on internet(e-WOM) is composed of two factors, word-of-mouth transmission and word-of-mouth acceptance. These two factors were put under cluster analysis and were classified into two groups of the word-of·mouth communication: WOM group and non-WOM group. T-test showed that word-of-mouth communication groups were significantly different in regard to fashion involvement, internet perceived risk, and internet purchase behavior. For example, WOM group was more uncertain of their clothing choices, put more weight on the internal factors of clothing selection, and was a frequent purchaser of internet fashion products. Internet fashion business needs to implement the proper marketing strategies based on the results of the study.

Research design, data and methodology: The data were collected from 480 consumers who had experiences of visiting a restaurant in the past 90 days and analyzed with SPSS 28.0 and SmartPLS 4.0 programs. Results: Physical environment and menu had positively significant effects on brand love, while employee service and hygiene had no significance on brand love. Restaurant environment, menu, and hygiene had negatively significant effects on brand hate, but employee service had not significant impact on brand hate. Brand love had positively significant effects on offline and online word-of-mouth, and brand hate had negatively significant effects on offline and online word-of-mouth. Conclusions: First, restaurants need to develop a pleasant space where customers can have emotional experiences. Second, restaurants need to fulfill customers' desire for global food consumption. Third, restaurants should ensure hygiene and safety to prevent customers' brand hate.

최근 기업들은 새로운 마케팅 촉진전략의 하나로 SNS서비스에 중점을 두고 있다. SNS서비스에 대표적인 요소들은 상호작용성 그리고 정보제공성이 있다. 이에 본 연구는 SNS서비스가 관계몰입에 미치는 영향에 대해 실증적으로 분석하고, 트위터 이용 빈도와 온라인 구전의도를 확대하기 위한 전략을 제시한다. 본 연구의 결과는 상호작용이 정보제공성 보다 정서적 몰입에 상당히 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 정보제공성은 상호작용성 보다 계산적 몰입에 상당히 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 이러한 효과들은 낮은 트위터 이용 빈도 보다 높은 트위터 이용 빈도에서 높게 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 정보제공성이 상호작용성 보다 온라인 구전의도에 더 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 밝히고 SNS서비스는 온라인 구전 영향을 미치는 것 보다 관계몰입을 통해 더 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 증명하였다. 이러한 결과를 기반으로 기업의 마케팅적 시사점을 도출하였다.

This is an on-line Word-of-Mouth(WOM). It is a kind of information exploration that is performed by customers before choosing the hospital with off-line word-of-mouth. In this study, we develop our research model to verify the causal relationships among on/off-line WOM, key determinants of hospital choice and the customer's will to make use of the hospitals, and total effect of these variables. We adopt a component-based PSL method for an empirical analysis of the patients experienced dermatology or obstetrics gynecology.

The purposes of this study were 1) to analyze the correlation between Word-of-Mouth(WOM) message sender credibility and WOM effect and 2) to analyze the differences of WOM message sender creadibility and WOM effect in off-line and on-line WOM communication. The messages were created as a form of scenario for this study. Respondents were asked to evaluate the message sender credibility and predict WOM behaviors after reading given scenario. The questionnaires were distributed to 200 customers and a total of 175 questionnaires were used for analysis(87.5%). The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS Win(12.0) for descriptive analysis, paired t-test, factor analysis, correlation analysis. The positive off-line WOM message sender was considered as more credible(p<.001) than on-line WOM message sender. 'Message sender credibility' is correlated with 'attitude formation' in both channels, but 'reliable' factor of 'credibility' variable is not significantly correlated with 'attitude change'.

인터넷이 대중화대면서 온라인 쇼핑이 가능해졌고 구매자들은 인터넷을 통해 구매와 관련 된 경험, 서비스 등을 다른 사람들과 공유할 수 있게 되었다. 인터넷 쇼핑의 특성상 제품을 직접 눈으로 보고 만져 볼 수 없기 때문에 온라인 구전(Online Word of mouth)이 상품 구매 판단의 잣대로 활용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 온라인 쇼핑몰에서 구전 정보 특성이 구매자들의 인지된 구전 정보 가치에 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 분석하였다. 구전정보의 객관성, 관련성, 신빙성, up-to-dateness는 인지된 구전정보가치 즉 구매 불확실성 감소에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 구매 불확실성 감소는 온라인 쇼핑몰의 신뢰에 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤다.

The last few years have represented a boom for the online gaming industry. Internet-based online games have been an increasingly popular form of entertainment. The gaming industry estimates there will be over 26 million online gaming participants in 2002. The rapid development of online game content and related information technology will increase the size of the industry and have a profound impact on many aspects of our lives and our society. This paper develops the exploratory LISREL model for identifying the factors affecting the players' loyalty to a specific brand of online game. The concepts of flow, word of mouth, feedback, challenge, social norms, and online community activities, etc, are all introduced into the model, as the independent variables directly and indirectly affecting loyalty. Based on data collected from an online survey, the validity of the model has been tested and interesting conclusions have been developed concerning the relationships between loyalty and flow, word of mouth, and other independent variables. It is hoped that this result might provide useful guidelines for developing successful online game content.
