This study identified the appropriateness of acceptance models of smart clothing and differences in the hypothesis of the path to clothing acceptance by classifying consumers depending on the level of technology innovation and fashion innovation through the extended TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) presented by Chae (2009). 815 copies of data were collected from adults over twenty living in major South Korean cities and analyzed them using a SPSS 15.0 and AMOS 5.0 package. Based on the average value of technology innovation and fashion innovation, the respondents were classified into: Group 1 with high technology innovation and fashion innovation, Group 2 with high technology innovation but low fashion innovation, Group 3 with low technology innovation but high fashion innovation, and Group 4 with low technology innovation and fashion innovation. The appropriateness of models for the four classified groups was verified. The analysis proved that an extended TAM for each classified group explains the acceptance process of smart clothing; especially the appropriateness of model of Group 1 and Group 4 was comparatively higher than other groups. Perceived usefulness was revealed as the key variable that affects consumer attitudes to accept smart clothing. Perceived ease of use has indirect positive effects on consumer attitudes passing through perceived usefulness and clothing involvement partly exerted impacts on consumer attitudes and the intention of acceptance. The mediating role of attitudes to explain the intention of the acceptance of smart clothing is high and suggests that it is necessary to take a positive role to help the consumer perceive the functional and useful aspects of the clothing.

디지털 기술의 발전으로 일상생활에 접목시킨 스마트 의류 개발에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나, 실질적으로 착용하게 될 소비자의 인식이나 태도에 관한 연구가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 스마트의류의 지각된 혁신속성과 위험지각 차원이 제품 태도와 수용의도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 대학생을 대상으로 설문지법을 이용하여 조사하였다. 연구의 결과, 스마트의류의 지각된 혁신속성은 상대적 이점, 가시성, 복잡성의 3가지 요인으로, 지각된 위험은 신체/성과적 위험, 사회심리적 위험, 시간손실 위험, 경제적 위험 4가지 요인으로 추출되었다. 혁신특성 중 상대적 이점, 가시성이, 위험지각 중 사회심리적 위험과 경제적 위험이 제품 태도와 구매의도 예측에 주요한 변인으로 나타났다. 한편 사회심리적, 경제적 위험은 상대적이점과 복잡성을 설명하는데, 신체성과적, 사회심리적, 시간손실 위험은 가시성을 설명하는데 유의한 변인으로 나타났다. 제품 태도는 혁신특성과 구매 의도 사이에서는 부분매개 역할을, 위험지각과 구매의도 사이에서는 완전매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 스마트의류 구입 시 소비자가 인지하는 혁신특성과 지각된 위험의 유형을 파악함으로써 스마트의류 마케터들이 소비자의 긍정적인 태도 형성을 위한 마케팅 전략 수립 시 활용할 수 있는 기초 정보를 제시하였다.

It's not quite advisable for fashion companies to make an investment in CSR activities without any specific plans or conviction of the effectiveness of the activities. Actually, lots of domestic companies fail to success their CSR activities, despite of their hard efforts.

Active exploitation of experiential marketing is now practiced in diverse range of apparel brands such as luxury, sports and casual brands. Under such a market environments, this study attempts to verify the effects of consumer's experiential marketing perception by analyzing the formation process of brand attitude. The path from experiential marketing strategic modules (sense, feel, think, act, and relate) to brand loyalty is mediated by brand affect and brand trust. Two sports brands were selected as stimuli brands, and a survey was conducted on 286 consumers in their 20s and 30s. The study validates the importance of sense/feel marketing for apparel brands as it had extensive effects on brand affect which is highly significant in the formation of brand loyalty. As a result of comparative analysis of brand attitude and the path model of its formation for two brands which were different in consumers' perception of experiential marketing brand activities, the study realized that the higher the level of perceived experiential marketing, the higher the levels of brand affect, brand trust and brand loyalty. In particular, for brands perceived as actively engaged in experiential marketing, the path from the perception of experiential marketing activity to brand loyalty was clearly segmented between sensibility and rationality as sense/feel marketing had significant effects only on brand affect, and act/relate marketing only on brand trust. This study verifies the positive effects of perceived experiential marketing activities of apparel brands on brand equity, and proposes the strategic appropriateness of experiential marketing that embeds sensibility and feeling appeals.
