The main focus of the study resides in antecedents of price acceptability. Levels of acceptable price may be related to the consumers' perception on reasonable or expected price. Price acceptability is known to have several psychological antecedents. One of the antecedents to price acceptability reported by prior researches is price-quality inference, a tendency to correlate high price to excellence in quality. In addition, price-conscious consumers are likely to show lower level of price acceptability level. Another well-known antecedent is sale proneness. Sales-prone consumers may relate price of apparel products to product quality information. Moreover, it was reported that involved consumers should be more concerned with the products to its price and thus should have higher levels of price acceptability. A conceptual model with price consciousness, sale proneness and product involvement as the exogenous variable, price-quality inference and price acceptability as the endogenous variable was developed for the empirical study. Measures of research variables were developed based on previous studies. Questionuaires from 298 respondents were analyzed for the study. The average age of respondents was 27. About 60% of the respondents were married and about 65% of them had college degrees. Empirical results supported all of the hypothesized relationships. Price consciousness had significant negative influence on price-quality inference and price acceptability. Sale proneness significantly influenced price-quality inference, while apparel involvement had significant impact on price-quality inference and price acceptability. Price-quality affected price acceptability significantly. This study generated a framework to help scholars understand antecedents of price acceptability of apparel products. Price has been shown to playa dual role in consumer's perceptions, either positively or negatively. Price consciousness played a negative role, and product involvement had a positive role in evoking higher level of price acceptability. This study also suggests additional source of positive, yet indirect role of price, sale proneness. This study also affirmed the importance of price-quality inference in arousing higher level of price acceptability.

Digital knowledge and information goods as experience goods have some unique characteristics such as close to zero reproduction and distribution cost, high price volatility, and low price acceptability. For the reasons, the pricing policies of digital knowledge goods are very difficult and complicate. Also, most consumers of digital goods have experienced cognitive dissonance after buying decision. The purpose of this paper is to investigate what factors affect the price acceptability level and cognitive dissonance of digital knowledge goods buyers. This paper suggest a structural model that was established by the cognitive dissonance theory and S-O-R(Stimulus-Organization-Response) model. The model is consisted of four exogenous variables and three endogenous variables. The empirical test and statistical analysis suggest following results and practical implications. The variables such as product involvement and perception of price fairness that have positive roles to price acceptability have strong influence on the all the three endogenous variables. But the variables such as sale proneness and price mavenism that have negative roles to price acceptability have little influence on the all the three endogenous variables. In the model, the payment intention was very important mediating variable between exogenous variables and two dependent variables, ie. price acceptability and cognitive dissonance. These results imply that the digital knowledge portals must have some differentiated pricing policies to the customers who have price consciousness and price mavenism. Also, they need some special promotions to whom have positive attitude to the value of digital goods.

Price acceptability has become an important issue in the current fashion market. This study explored diverse factors that affect price acceptability (level of acceptable price and range of acceptable price). Stimuli photos of fashion products (i.e., bag, shoes, and jacket) were developed and used for online experiments with 3,000 female consumers. Important results included factors that affected the price acceptability of fashion products were price-quality relation, price concern, and product attribute perception. The results showed that female consumers depended more on price-quality relations, more positively perceived product attributes, and were less sensitive to price; in addition, they tended to have a higher level of acceptable price as well as a wider range of acceptable price for fashion products. These results were consistent across all experiments with different fashion items (i.e., bag, shoes, and jacket). Based on the results, factors that influence the price acceptability were revealed. Marketing practitioners need to more actively consider implying advertising strategies that emphasize the advancement of product attributes such as quality for highpriced products.

Background: Acceptability of self-sampling HPV testing is confirmed worldwide. However, some cultural differences may affect this question. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the acceptability of self-sampling HPV testing in Thai women. Materials and Methods: One hundred women aged 30-65 years with an intact cervix were included in this study. The participants were asked to do the Pap test by physicians and then brush type self-sampling instruments were assigned for self-collection and finally completed a questionnaire for acceptability evaluation. The questionnaire contains 2 parts. Part one covered general information of the participants and part two is the acceptability questions. Results: Mean age was 40.6 years. The incidence of high risk HPV detection in this study was 16%. The most common reason for doing Pap smear was for annual checkup. On the topic of ease of use, 85 % of the subjects agreed. Most of the participants (82%) reported that they felt less pain. However, reliability of the result was not satisfactory because 37% of the participants hesitated to rely on the results of the test. According to the price, if the price is less than 1,000 Baht (32.59 Baht = 1USD), 82% of the subjects would use it for their next screening. Conclusions: The acceptability of self-sampling device in this study is quite good but the reliability of the test was questioned by some of the participants. Moreover, the price of the test in Thailand may also influence the acceptability of the test.

브랜드이미지는 상품, 기술, 디자인, 인적자원 등 기업의 실체적 요소들이 모여 형성된 무형의 자산으로 고객선택에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 유형의 자산이 적극적으로 관리되듯이 브랜드도 가치창출을 위하여 더욱더 적극적으로 관리되어져야 한다. 고객들의 구매와 소비 행태가 기술의 평준화, 유사상품의 홍수에 따라 제품의 품질과 기능의 만족보다는 감성적 만족추구로 변화해가고 있으며, 상품의 선택기준은 기업의 이미지와 제품 브랜드로 변화하여 브랜드가 곧 상품을 구매하고 결정하는데 있어서 중요한 포인트가 되고 있다. 이렇듯 브랜드이미지는 기업의 수익성과 관련이 있으며 강력한 브랜드이미지의 구축은 같은 시장 내에서 경쟁의 우위를 점할 수 있다는 이유 때문에 새로운 관점에서의 브랜드이미지 전략에 많은 노력을 필요로 하게 되었다. 따라서 기업들은 시장의 환경변화에 능동적으로 대처하지 않으면 기업의 존폐까지도 위협받게 되기 때문에 기업들은 차별화 된 가격과 제품, 서비스를 제공해야 할뿐만 아니라 품질을 향상시킴으로써 시장 내에서의 확고한 위치를 차지 할 수 있도록 많은 노력을 기울여야 할 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 소비행태를 분석해 보면 이용횟수에 있어 한달 평균2회 이용하는 소비자가 전체의 30.1%로 가장 높게 나타나고 있으며, 다음으로는 1회 이용하는 소비자가 26.5%로 나타나고 있다. 레스토랑 이용시 동반자는 주로 친구/연인이 함께 이용하는 것으로 전체의 42.6%의 높은 분포를 보여주고 있으며 다음으로는 가족, 직장동료 순으로 나타나고 있다. 이용동기에 있어서는 재미로 이용하는 소비자가 24.4%로 가장 높게 나타나고 있으며, 친구와의 사교, 가족모음의 순으로 나타나고 있다. 이들 레스토랑에서의 식사시간은 1시간에서 1시간30분 정도가 38.2%로 가장 높은 분포를 보여주고 있으며 다음으로는 1시간 30분에서 2시간이 뒤를 잇고 있다. 이용시간대는 주로 저녁때가 66.5%로 가장 높게 나타나고 있으며, 이동수단으로는 자가용을 이용하는 소비자가 60%에 달하는 것으로 조사되고 있고 다음으로는 지하철을 이용하는 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 지출비용은 1인당 1회 이용시 소비금액이 3만원에서 4만원대가 가장 많고 그 다음이 1만원에서 2만원대, 2만원에서 3만원대가 거의 비슷한 비율로 나타나고 있다. 또한 브랜드 이미지중 회사원과 생산/기술직 사원들은 마케팅 이미지를 가장 중요하게 생각하고 있으며, 공무원의 경우는 영업이미지를 가장 중요한 요소로 꼽고 있음을 알수 있다. 서비스 품질에 있어서는 전문직, 회사원, 판매/영업직, 주부의 경우는 접객서비스를 가장 중요하게 여기고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있으며 가격 수용성 측면에서는 자영업자와 공무원의 집단에서 높게 나타나고 있는 반면, 학생과 주부의 집단에서는 낮게 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 연구 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 브랜드 이미지와 서비스 품질과의 관계에서 브랜드이미지는 서비스 품질의 선행변수가 될 수 있음을 증명하였으며 4개 요인의 이미지 중 사풍이미지를 제외한 영업 이미지, 제품 이미지, 마케팅 이미지가 서비스 품질에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 지각된 서비스 품질과 가격 수용성과의 관계에서, 서비스 품질은 최소 가격에 신뢰서비스 요인에서 정의 영향을 미치고 있으나 부가서비스, 환경서비스에서는 역의 영향을 미침을 알수 있고, 최대 가격에 있어서는 욕구서비스 요인은 정의 영향을 미치지만 부가서비스의 경우에는 역의 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 셋째, 서비스품질과 재 방문 의도와의 관계에 있어서 서비스품질은 재 방문 의도에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있다. 따라서 브랜드 이미지는 서비스품질의 선행변수가 될 수 있으며, 서비스품질은 가격 수용성과 재방문 의도에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 의의는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 브랜드 이미지, 지각된 서비스 품질, 재 방문 의도, 가격 수용성간의 구조적 관계를 실증 분석함으로써 이들간의 관계를 보다 명확히 제시하였다. 둘째, 본 연구는 브랜드 이미지를 레스토랑의 기업에 적용하였다는 점에서 기존의 연구들과 차별화 된다. 기존의 연구들은 대부분 서비스 품질 또는 고객 만족 차원에서 레스토랑에 접근한 반면 본 연구는 브랜드 이미지 차원에서 레스토랑과의 관계를 조사하였다. 또한 이는 기존의 연구들을 보다 확장하였다고 할 수 있다. 셋째, 브랜드 이미지는 가격 수용성과 재 방문 의도에 있어 서비스 품질변수를 통하여 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 증명하였다. 끝으로, 앞으로의 연구가 레스토랑의 브랜드이미지를 더욱 확장시키고 브랜드이미지를 더욱 강화시킬 수 있는 다양한 변수들을 이용한 많은 연구가 계속되어지길 기대한다.
