This study investigated the consumer review information considered important by consumers when making a purchase decision to buy apparel products online. Data were collected through focus group interviews. Eleven females in their 20s and 30s, who have extensive experience in reading consumer reviews posted on online apparel stores, participated in the study. The consumer review information considered important by participants is the information related to seven product attributes (size, fabric, design, color, sewing, price, and country of origin), seven benefits (functional, financial, esthetic, emotional, social, utilitarian benefits, and product value compared to price) of the apparel product and four store attributes (return/refund, delivery, reputation/credibility, and customer service). The findings from the study can serve as an important tool in developing survey questions in order to evaluate the quality of consumer review information and help online retailers plan methods to improve the quality of reviews.

The domestic foodservice and restaurant industries have been rapidly growing. Therefore, it is necessary for restaurants to analyze the demands and desires of their customers according to internal attributions, and to understand how these may change in the future. To explore the internal attributions of individuals, such as personality, this study examined differences between the promotion and prevention focuses of 'Self-Regulatory Focus Theory'. Based on this theory, hypotheses were prepared and two experiments- & -were performed to assess the hypotheses. showed that consumers who had a promotion focus were interested in the following factors: events, advertisement images and taste; whereas those with a prevention focus concentrated more on factors related to comfortoriented qualities, such as reputation and price satisfaction. In , after performing situational regulatory focus manipulation with the subjects, there were different results between promotion and prevention: in the promotion focus, when a prevention focus was induced, subjects concentrated more on price satisfaction, reputation, highly nutritious menu, and sanitary conditions; whereas in the prevention focus, when a promotion focus was induced, they concentrated on advertisement images, events, and restaurant atmosphere.

In recent, an unfaithful construction bring about many social problems. The bidding process considering bidding price firstly is one of the reasons raising an unfaithfull construction work. Thus, we should consider many other criteria including bidding price in the bidder selection process. This paper suggests an analytic hierarchy process(AHP) model for selecting the best bidder of a large construction project. A questionnaire was used to obtain domain experts' opinion about criteria to be considered in the bidding process. A hierarchical structure of the AHP model is formed using criteria obtained in the survey. The model consists of bidding price, construction capability, financial status, faith, and their 17 sub-attributes. The relative importance of bidders are judged by pairwise comparison or absolute measurement. An illustrative example is given to show the process selecting the best bidder using the suggested AHP model.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the difference of the value in main production areas affected through the hedonic price model and the conjoint analysis. In addition, the partial value of each attribute level, and the consumers' willingness to pay(WTP) for change in each attribute level are analyzed. For this, we compared the value of apple determined in Garak market with the value that consumers' WTP. The result showed that there is a gap between the market value and the consumers' preferences on apple. It means that it is necessary for the local branding to be more developed to receive higher sales. Furthermore, understanding the consumers' preferences on the apple attributes can enhance the consumer utility and the competitivity. As a result, this study provides an apple marketing direction for main production areas that has been changing due to climate change.

본 연구에서는 강원도 소재 대학교에 재학 중인 학부 학생을 대상으로 교내 학생식 당 이용 실태 및 급식서비스 수준을 조사$\cdot$분석하고 컨조인트 분석기법을 이용하여 가상 학생식당의 주요 속성에 대한 고객의 효용수준을 파악함으로써 신규 학생식 당의 계획 단계에서 중점을 두고 논의해야 할 필수요소를 도출하고 신규 학생식당의 모델을 제시하고자 하였다. 학생들의 학생식당 이용실태 분석 결과, 주당 평균 3.4회 학생식당을 이용하고 있었고, 이용 이유는 거리가 가깝고, 가격이 저렴하며 신속하게 식사를 해결할 수 있기 때문이었다. 급식서비스에 대한 전반적인 만족도$(2.77\pm0.82)$와 지불한 가격에 대해 인지되는 급식의 질인 가치 $(2.68\pm0.78)$ 모두 불만족하고 있는 상황이었다. 급식서비스의 12가지 세부 속성에 대한 인식도 조사 결과, 신속한 배식과 식당 운영시간, 가격, 식사량에 대해서는 비교적 수행 수준이 보통 이상으로 평가하였으나, 고객 불만사항 처리나 식당 시설 및 분위기에 대해서는 상당히 불만족하고 있는 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 개선이 절실한 것으로 사료되었다. 신규 학생식당 모델 도출을 위한 컨조인트 분석 결과, 급식서비스의 4가지 속성이 상충하는 상황에서 고객은 가격$(37\%)$, 분위기$(30\%)$, 음식$(22\%)$, 거리$(11\%)$ 순으로 중요하게 여기고 있었으며, 8가지의 가상급식소 프로파일 중에서 '프로파일 2', 즉 $6\~10$분 정도의 거리에 위치하고 여유롭고 편안한 분위기에서 4가지 정도의 반찬과 함께 후식을 2,000원 정도의 가격으로 판매되는 식사가 제공되는 급식소가 조사대상 대학교의 현재 여건에서 제안할 수 있는 신규 학생식당의 모델로 결론지어졌다. 본 연구 결과에서 도출된 이상적인 급식소 모델이 현장에 적용되어 새로운 급식소가 개소된다면 고객의 요구도가 적극 반영된 급식소 특성으로 인하여 현재 제기되고 있는 급식서비스에 대한 불만을 감소시키는 동시에 고객 만족을 꾀할 수 있으리라 사료된다. 또한 신규급식소에서 일정기간의 급식서비스를 제공한 후, 급식서비스에 대한 고객의 평가가 실시되어 현재의 연구결과와 비교된다면 본 연구에서 제안한 급식소 모델의 효과성도 평가될 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다. 덧붙여 고객의 평가 수준이 낮았던 급식서비스 속성의 개선이 함께 동반된다면 현재 급식소의 급식서비스 질 개선을 통한 고객 만족도의 증진이 가능하리라 본다.

Purpose - In recent, a research finds that advanced selling can influence a consumer's choice(Kim et al., 2013). Advanced selling is defined as the new product launching strategy which company allows consumers to preorder new product before its release(Chu & Zhang, 2011). Prior researches have focused on the benefits of advanced selling(e.g., information gathering for demand prediction, an advantage for pricing strategy, and so on) for companies using this strategy(Chen, 2001; Chu & Zhang, 2011; Li & Zhang, 2013; Tang et al., 2004; Xie & Shugan, 2009). However, Kim et al.(2013) find it can also influence a consumer's choice. In detail, they suggest that when consumers use advanced selling, they are likely to prefer high-performance options rather than low-price options based on construal level theory(Trope & Liberman, 2003). In this paper, we tried to expand the prior researches for finding the mechanism of the influence of advanced selling on a consumer's choice. The purpose of this research is to test the mediating effect on the influence of advanced selling. Research design, data, and methodology - To find the mechanism of the influence of advanced selling, we designed an experiment for testing mediation effect. we recruited 93 students from a university. We assigned participants into one of two groups using randomization method. The participants with each group were given a scenario describing the sales strategy. Finally, they made a choice between high-performance option and low-price option. Sequentially, they also responded some questions for testing mediation effect. Results - First, we replicated prior research to test the influence of advanced selling. As a result, we could find that consumers prefer the high-performance option when they preorder it to purchase at the time of consumption. Thus, the replication result is the same as prior research. Second, we tested that advanced selling can influence the perception of temporal distance. The results confirmed that consumers perceived longer temporal distance in advanced selling condition(β = 1.575, SE = 0.272, p < 0.001). Third, we predicted that temporal distance can increase the importance of desirable attributes and decrease the importance of feasible attributes. The results suggested that temporal distance decreased significantly the importance of attributes related to feasibility(β = -0.19, SE = 0.07, p < 0.01), however, it had non-significant effect on increasing the importance of desirable attributes. Finally, we used Sobel-test for testing mediation effect, and it confirmed that the importance of feasible attributes had mediating role of the influence of advanced selling(Sobel test statistic = -2.110, SE = 0.111, p < 0.05). Conclusions - In this paper, we tried to find the mechanism of the influence on advanced selling from a consumer's choice. With an experiment, we confirmed that the importance of feasible attributes could mediate the effect on advanced selling. Therefore, we suggested some theoretical and practical contributions from this research. Finally, we discussed research limitations and suggested future research topics.

This study proposes a new way to investigate purchasing behavior for preschool children's clothes using an ethnographic research method. The study consisted of 16 subjects composed of preschool children (aged 6 and 7) and their mothers. The analysis results are as follows. First, the in-depth interviews, indicated 14 attributes that mothers considered when purchasing children's clothes. Next, the result of conducting component analysis for consideration attributes indicated that the order of importance of attributes for mothers' opinions varied partially for some attributes (such as price) that depended on if the child was being raised only by the mother or with the help of another person. Second, in the accompanied shopping for the preschool children's clothes, the result of identifying the differences between the perception of consideration attributes and shopping behaviors confirmed some differences between consideration attributes recognized in the interviews and attributes practically considered when purchasing. Housewives (who were the mothers of girls) said that materials and comfort were the most important in the interviews; however, employed mothers of girls perceived design to be the most important attribute. The mothers of girls assessed design as an important attribute that they could never concede. Third, the children's opinions were found to partially influence mothers' purchasing behavior in the purchase of preschool children's clothes. Preschool children expressed their opinions on wearability and design in the process of wearing clothes at home or buying them outside; subsequently, mothers recognized children's opinions and reflected them in their practical purchases.

Life-style factors often include social relationships as well as consumption, entertainment and dress patterns. They also typically reflect an individual's attitudes, values and worldview. Life-style types have become and an important factor for segmenting customer markets ever since significant relationships between life-style and customers' behavior was proven. This study examined the relationships between the life-styles of young customers' and the important attributes of foodservice encounters. Factors analysis with VARIMAX and K-means cluster analysis were conducted to group the subjects by life-style. According to the factors analysis, four underlying dimensions were identified and labeled: (1) 'actively fashioned', (2) 'luxury picky', (3) 'healthy toward', and (4) 'utilitarian leisure'. Based on the factor scores derived from the factors analysis, the K-means cluster analysis classified three groups as statistically significant using ANOVA(p<0.05). The overall mean score for the 3rd cluster 'trendy-active picky' was higher than the other two clusters, and represented very picky attitudes about foodservice attributes. The 3rd cluster also seemed to apply higher standards to all of the foodservice attributes. By order of importance, the most important attributes of the 2nd cluster 'pursue-utilitarian leisure' were food serving time, automation systems, server's hygienes, employee kindness, time in line, and menu variety. In spite of low concerns for the life-style attributes, the first cluster 'passively indifferent' recognized menu variety, food sanitation, food serving time, server's hygiene, menu price, air circulation, and room temperature as important. These results suggest that young diners in Korea could be classified by their diverse life-styles that are represented as trendy, utilitarian, and indifferent and will hopefully contribute to the foodservice industry's ability to segment customer characteristics by different life-styles in Korea.

The measurement and management of patient satisfaction has become one of the key issues in the last two decades. Hospitals must thoroughly understand the needs of their customers and design products and health services that meet and exceed their expectations. The importance-performance analysis(IPA) is a widely used analytical technique that yields strategies for managing customer satisfaction in a variety of applications. IP A is a two-dimensional grid based on customer-perceived importance of quality attributes and attribute performance. Depending on the interplay of these two dimensions, four strategies can be derived. The aim of this study is to develop the management strategies for improving patient satisfaction in university hospitals using the I-P analysis. The attributes on inpatient service quality in 4 university hospitals was investigated using the Martilla and James(l977)' s a mean adjusted I-P grid where the axes of the grid cross at the average rating point of all items. The patient satisfaction questionnaires were completed by 600 hospital inpatients. The main statistical methods are path analysis and IPA with SPSS 12.0 and AMOS 4.0 statistical softwares. The two attributes, physician and medical service, administrative staff kindness attributes position in first quadrant(Keep Up the Good domain). The nurse and nursing service attributes position in second quadrant(Possible Overkill domain). The two attributes, convenience of check-in service, facilities and physical environment position in third quadrant(Low Priority domain). Finally the quality of inpatient service(food etc.) attributes position in fourth quadrant(Concentrate Here domain). These findings show various implications on the development of strategies in university hospitals in the future. It was determined that quality of inpatient service(food etc.) need to concentrate more on investments. These investments include a taste, price, proper provision of food service and quick response of pain management. A low priority was given to investment in streamlining the check-in process of inpatient and hospital facilities and physical environment in the long run.
