Purpose: This study investigated the impact of key factors such as service quality, perceived benefit and brand familiarity on a consumer's intention to order online food delivery (OFD). In addition, mediating effect of electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) between relationships among selected key variables and OFD purchase intention is also assessed. Research design, data and methodology: This explanatory, quantitative study employed convenience sampling and collected data through online structured questionnaire from 304 respondents who are users of OFD apps based in greater Klang valley region of Malaysia. The data was then subjected to normality and reliability assessment followed by confirmatory factor analysis, validity assessment and structural equation modelling using IBM SPSS AMOS 24.0. Results: Findings revealed that service quality, perceived benefits and brand familiarity affects purchase intention positively and significantly. Perceived benefits demonstrated highest impact on purchase intention followed by brand familiarity and service quality. Findings also suggest that e-WOM fully mediates relationship between brand familiarity and purchase intention, however, the same was not observed for remaining two variables. Conclusions: The study has enriched OFD literature by investigating impact of selected key factors on purchase intention in the context of OFD. Implications, limitations and future research avenues are then discussed.

본 연구는 온라인 리뷰와 오프라인 구전효과가 무리행동의 원인이 되는 정보 캐스케이드에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 규명하고, 그 효과를 전통적인 오프라인 상에서 발생하는 정보 캐스케이드 현상과 비교하여 검증하고자 하였다. 또한 정보 캐스케이드 현상이 같은 종류의 제품일지라도 브랜드에 따라서 상이하게 나타나는지를 관찰하여 각 제품들이 가져야 할 전략을 모색해 보고자 하였다. 연구결과, 오프라인 구전과 온라인 리뷰를 제공하였을 경우 모두 정보 캐스케이드 현상이 발생한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 구매자의 의사결정이 선행구매자의 상품평가에 의해 매우 큰 영향을 받는다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 오프라인 구전과 온라인 리뷰는 정보 캐스케이드 효과에 있어 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 연구대상 제품으로 A사의 케녹스(KENOX)와 B사의 익서스(IXUS) 모두 온라인 리뷰에 의해 발생하는 정보 캐스케이드 효과가 오프라인 상에서 발생하는 정보 캐스케이드 현상보다 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to examine factors influencing online product transformation focusing on benefits of online shopping and word of mouth. Generally, it has been known that buying search goods is more proper than experience goods in the online. However benefits of online shopping and word of mouth make product transformation from experience goods to search goods and the product transformation promote the purchase of experience goods online. We developed a conceptual model of online product transformation including benefits of online shopping(e.g. good price and convenience), online word of mouth (e.g. bulletin board and consumer reviews), and consumer characteristics (e.g. innovativeness and Internet usage). Also, we suggest several research propositions on online product transformation. The implications for marketing strategies of experience goods and furher research direction are suggested.

Although e-commerce is growing fast, e-commerce consumers are still under higher risk and uncertainty in the comparison of the traditional commerce's. Consumer review boards of online shopping malls are good measures to help buyer's decision making, and should be managed effectively by sellers. We formulate the research model on consumer trust formation on seller managed web review boards on the background of previous literatures on e-WOM and trust. Our data analysis with 368 samples shows seller's reputation, e-service quality, perceived reviewer's benevolence and ability have significant positive effect on the trustworthiness of the board. Product involvement shows weak negative moderation effect on the relationship between perceived reviewer's benevolence and trustworthiness of review boards.

With the development of information and communication technology and spread of smart devices, online information exchange has become a daily routine. Accordingly, the management and utilization of online word of mouth (WOM) has become an important issue for companies. Numerous studies have examined the impact of online WOM on firm performance. This study analyzes the impact of negative word of mouth (NWOM) on firm value, considering the influence of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity and research and development (R&D) investment. Using a hierarchical linear model, we find that 1) NWOM has a negative impact on firm value, 2) CSR activities do not significantly influence this impact, and 3) R&D investment reduces this negative impact. This study contributes by demonstrating the effect of NWOM on firm value, examining the influence of CSR activities and R&D investment on the impact of NWOM, and confirming that the hierarchical linear model can be applied effectively to panel data in empirical studies. As a practical implication, companies must prevent and manage NWOM, whose impact, when caused by an unavoidable incident, can be alleviated by proactively announcing that the company is striving for competitiveness, for instance, by investing in R&D.

The aim of this study is to fill gaps in emerging empirical evidence and negative electronic word of mouth (NeWOM) in repurchase intention (RI) moderated by the roles of social network sites (SNS) and company mitigation response (CMR). This type of research is descriptive. The sample used in this study is online consumers who buy energy drinks, based on the questionnaire obtained by 145 respondents. Based on the results of testing the estimation of the structural equation model, it was found that the negative variable brand experience sharing had no significant effect on NeWOM; the negative variable electronic reviews had a significant effect on the electronic word of mouth variable, the negative variable electronic reviews had a significant effect on the negative electronic variable word of mouth, the variable intensity of the use of social networking sites can strengthen the direction of the causal influence between the negative variables sharing brand experiences on negative electronic words of mouth. The variable social networking sites usage intensity can strengthen the direction of the effect of causality between negative electronic review variables on negative electronic word of mouth, the negative brand experience sharing variable does not have a significant effect on the repurchase intention variable.

본 연구는 온라인 브랜드 커뮤니티 특징이 자기 해석 수준 및 성별 차이에 따라 고객 행동에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대해 규명하고자 한다. 온라인 커뮤니티의 특징으로 상호작용성, 목적성, 정보제공, 활동보상으로 나누어 실증연구를 하였다. 분석 결과 첫째, 온라인 커뮤니티의 특성 중 상호작용성과 활동보상은 브랜드 커뮤니티 몰입에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 목적성과 정보제공의 효과는 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 소비자가 브랜드 커뮤니티에 대한 몰입이 강할수록 구전효과 역시 높은 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 상호의존적 자기 해석 수준을 갖고 있는 소비자는 독립적 자기 해석 수준을 갖고 있는 소비자에 비해 보다 더 높은 브랜드 커뮤니티의 몰입을 보였으며, 여성이 남성에 비해 더 높은 브랜드 커뮤니티 몰입을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 소비자의 자기해석이라는 내재적 동기를 알아봄으로써, 기업들에게 브랜드커뮤니티를 통한 효율적인 마케팅 접근법을 제시한다.
