해외 시장 의존형 경제구조를 지닌 우리나라에서 관광산업은 국가경제에 중요한 산업으로 이를 육성하기 위해 정확한 관광 수요 예측이 필요하다. 그에 따라 많은 연구들이 출국 수요를 예측하기 위해 노력해왔으며 출국수요에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해 다각도로 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 특히 정보기술의 발전으로 최근에는 출국자들의 출국지 선택 등 관광객의 의사결정에 온라인 뉴스, 소셜 네트워크 서비스 등의 온라인 미디어가 많은 영향을 끼치고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 온라인 미디어가 발생시키는 구전 효과가 출국 수요에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 그 영향 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 온라인 미디어는 쉽게 접근이 가능하고 공유가 활발하다는 측면에서 구전 효과가 발생되어 사용자들의 의사결정에 영향을 주고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 온라인 미디어를 공적 미디어인 뉴스와 사적 미디어인 블로그로 구분하였으며 실제 아시아 5개국의 출국자 수에 이들 미디어가 미치는 영향 관계를 패널 모형을 통해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 온라인 뉴스의 구전 효과는 출국자 수에 부정적인 영향을 미치지만 블로그의 경우 긍정적 영향 관계를 보였다. 따라서 향후 출국 수요 예측에 있어 온라인 미디어의 구전 효과를 반영해야 하며 이는 미디어의 종류에 따라 차별적으로 적용해야 함을 시사한다. 또한 각 국가별로 온라인 미디어의 특성에 따라 미치는 영향 관계가 차이가 있음을 분석하였다. 즉, 출국 국가에 따라 온라인 미디어의 영향력이 다름에 따라 국가별로 차별적인 예측 및 관리 모형이 필요하다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 관광산업종사자들의 국가와 미디어별 온라인 미디어 기반의 마케팅 전략 수립에 도움을 줄 수 있으리라 기대된다.

Online communities are an important source of electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM). However, few studies have examined the use of such messages within the Middle Eastern context. This study focuses on Saudi women as members of an online beauty forum. Previous work suggested a mediating effect of gender, with women being more likely to trust word-of-mouth and follow it up with a purchase. A conceptual model with a theoretical underpinning from existing contributions in literature provides the basis of a coding framework for the message characteristics that influence members' e-WOM adoption. A total of 310 threads and 2200 messages coded into 5725 units were content analyzed to demonstrate cases where e-WOM was adopted and indicate further continuance intention with members returning to the forum. A new category of 'community bonding' was created from the content analysis given the prevalence of emotional aspects in messages. Emotion expressed in messages, often expressed in religious terms, is as influential and important as the cognitive aspects of community bonding.

This research investigates the effect of fashion leadership on Word of Mouth (WOM) communications on the Internet. This research categorizes consumers into groups by fashion leadership and compares the groups regarding the WOM behavior (degrees of WOM acceptance and delivery as well as the motivations of WOM acceptance and delivery). The subjects of the study were 325 males and females. Major statistical methods used for the study were factor analysis, ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$'s test, and chi-square test. The results categorized consumers into five groups by fashion leadership (dual leaders, fashion innovators, fashion opinion leaders, fashion followers, and fashion laggards). There were significant differences among fashion leadership groups over WOM behavior (acceptance and delivery) and monthly clothing expenditures. Fashion dual leaders had a higher degree of WOM acceptance with motivation of fashion information acquisition and compliance, and they had a higher degree of WOM delivery through motivation of economic compensation, pleasure, and advice. In addition, they had a higher expenditure for clothing products. Fashion innovators had a lower degree of compliance in WOM acceptance. Fashion opinion leaders had a higher degree of WOM delivery through motivation from advice. Fashion followers delivered WOM through motivation of economic compensation and advice. Fashion laggards had a lower degree of WOM acceptance and delivery.

본 연구는 온라인 게임의 기존 이용자 유지 및 신규 이용자 유치 방안을 제시하고자 온라인 게임 이용자들의 긍정적 구전에 미치는 요인과 그 구조에 대해 밝히는 것을 목적으로 한다. 기존 연구에서는 게임의 속성이나 이용자의 속성이 온라인 게임 이용의도에 미치는 영향에 주로 초점이 맞춰져 있었다. 하지만 네트워크 기반으로 이용자 간 커뮤니케이션을 동반하는 온라인 게임의 특성상 개별 소비자의 이용뿐만 아니라 확산을 통한 일정 수준의 소비자 확보가 온라인 게임 시장에서 성공의 핵심 요인이다. 즉, 게임 이용자가 증가할수록 게임 이용자가 얻게 되는 가치가 증가할 것이라는 네트워크 외부성을 고려해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 온라인 게임의 사회규범적 특성 및 크리티컬 매스의 특성이 온라인 게임에 대한 태도 및 구전의도에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 연구결과 사회규범적 특성과 크리티컬 매스의 특성은 온라인 게임에 대한 태도에 유의한 양(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 사회규범적 특성과 태도는 이용자의 구전의도에 유의한 양(+)의 영향력을 직접적으로 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 결과는 이용자 확보를 위해 긍정적 구전 확산을 원하는 온라인 게임 기업들에게 사회규범 및 크리티컬 매스의 활용 방안에 대한 실무적 시사점을 제시한다.

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.

Interest in and use of social media as a communication channel are consistently evolving; in addition therefore, corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities have been often conducted on online channels such as social media due to the advantages offered by the rapid spread of information. Consumers can be persuaded differently and their cognition can be influenced depending on who delivers what message. This study examines the influence of information source characteristics on eWOM acceptance of CSR messages and attitudes toward a company. This study compares cases: when a company sends their CSR message versus when an individual (i.e., consumer's acquaintance) sends the company's CSR message. A total of 320 respondents were presented with online stimuli and responded to the questionnaire to identify this phenomenon. Vegan fashion (which refers to products made from raw materials without animal cruelty) was used as stimuli in this study because it is a representative example of CSR activities. As a result, when consumers are exposed to CSR messages online, perceived expertise, trustworthiness and attractiveness of information source affect consumer's electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) acceptance and attitude toward a company. However, only trustworthiness influences eWOM acceptance in cases of a corporation information source. This study confirms the differences in eWOM acceptance and in attitudes to the company depending on to whom the messages were sent and with what content.

Purpose As the number of SNS users increases, the importance of SNS advertisement is also increasing. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of factors on effectiveness of SNS advertising, and expand research on users' attitude and behavior intention toward SNS advertising. Design/methodology/approach This study was designed to examine the structural relationships among SNS service attribute, users' cognitive characters, psychological factors, users' attitude and behavior intention toward SNS advertising. Concretely, SNS service attribute was presented as online interactivity, and users' cognitive characters were presented as perceived relevance and perceived intrusiveness. In addition, psychological factors were presented as presence experience and message credibility, users' attitude toward SNS advertising was presented as advertisement attitude and users' behavior intention was presented as WOM. Findings The results showed that online interactivity has a positive effect on presence experience and message credibility, but perceived intrusiveness has a negative effect on presence experience and message credibility. Perceived relevance has a positive effect on presence experience, but does not have significant effect on message credibility. Presence experience and message credibility have positive effects on advertisement attitude and WOM, and advertisement attitude also has a positive effect on WOM. Based on the results from this study, academic and practical implications can be drawn. First, the study extended the scope of research about SNS advertising through focusing on SNS service attribute and SNS users' cognitive characters and identified the relationship between presence experience, message credibility, advertisement attitude and WOM. Second, the results of this research can provide practical guidelines to develop effective advertising strategies for companies which promoting SNS as a marketing tool.
