This study investigates the factors affecting consumers' intention to use of brand's SNS identity page (e.g., fan page in Facebook). It specifically focuses on four social support functions -self-esteem, informational, emotional and social networking support-in virtual space. Research model attempts to explore the impact of social supports on brands' SNS identity page adoption with modified technology acceptance model which includes perceived usefulness, ease of use and enjoyment. Empirical study adopts SEM (structural equation modelling) to test research model. The result indicates that perceived ease of use is influenced by informational support, and perceived usefulness is influenced by informational, emotional, and self-esteem support. And perceived enjoyment is influenced by emotional support. In addition, it reveals that there were no significant effects of social networking support on both perceived usefulness and enjoyment. These findings provide managerial implications for attracting potential and actual customers to brand's SNS identity page.

The objective of this article is to assess the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) implementation on Corporate Brand Value (CBV) and Corporate Financial Performance (CFP). At the same time, the article examines the mediated role of CBV on the relationship between CSR implementation and CFP. In-depth interviews and observation techniques were used in this article on 4 experts to collect qualitative information. Quantitative analysis was based on primary data obtained from 454 employees working at enterprises providing Bancassurance services. The article uses various models of Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Equation Analysis (SEM) using SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 20.0 software. In addition, a 5-point Likert scale is used to measure observed variables. Research results show that CBV plays an intermediate role in the relationship between CSR implementation and CFP. At the same time, the implementation of CSR toward communities, customers, and workers directly impacts CBV and CFP. The article draws a new conclusion; there is no relationship found between the implementation of CSR and CFP. The result proposes implications for the state and Bancassurance service providers to develop and implement CSR-related policies and activities to enhance their brand value and financial performance.

최근 브랜드의 중요성이 높아지고 소비자들의 감성적 문화적 욕구가 증가하면서 기업들은 문화를 이용한 메세나의 지원이나 사회 환원 등을 통하여 긍정적 브랜드 이미지를 만들기 위해 노력하고 있다. 또한 그 일환으로 브랜드 서비스공간들을 만들어 소비자들에게 문화공간을 제공하고자 노력하고 있다. 그러나 우후죽순처럼 생겨나는 브랜드 서비스공간들은 소비자들에게 별다른 감흥을 주지 못하고 있다. 치열한 브랜드의 경쟁 속에서 파워 브랜드가 되기 위해서는 브랜드 이미지를 높임과 동시에 브랜드를 하나의 문화, 더 나아가 소비자들의 라이프스타일로 자리 잡게 해야 한다. 브랜드를 라이프스타일로 자리 잡게 하기 위해서는 신제품이나 신시장의 창출로 브랜드가 시장을 주도하는 전략을 펼쳐야한다. 이를 위해서는 소비자와의 접점을 통해 소비자들의 내면의 욕구를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 모든 요소들을 한꺼번에 충족시킬 수 있는 공간으로 기업박물관의 활용방안을 제시하고자 한다. 기업은 박물관이라는 통로를 통해 기업의 역사를 되돌아봄으로써 미래의 나아갈 방향을 제시할 뿐 아니라, 문화브랜드로도 거듭날 수 있다. 따라서, 기업박물관이 소비자에게는 단순한 브랜드 공간이 아닌 문화, 교육의 공간이 되고, 기업에게는 긍정적 기업이미지를 제고하는 역할을 할 뿐 아니라 기업과 소비자가 만나는 접점 공간으로써 소비자들의 내면의 욕구를 파악하고, 반응을 관찰하는 공간으로 브랜드 시장 주도전략으로의 활용성에 대해 제안하고자 하였다.

외식시장의 새로운 판매방식으로 나타난 소셜커머스는 도입 이후로부터 꾸준히 성장하고 있다. 소셜커머스 시장에서 판매되는 쿠폰 중 50%이상이 외식상품으로, 외식기업에서는 할인판매 방식인 소셜커머스를 마케팅의 도구로 활용하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 시대적 배경에도 불구하고 소셜커머스와 외식소비자를 연계한 연구는 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 소셜커머스를 이용하여 외식상품을 구매한 경험이 있는 소비자를 대상으로 소셜커머스 구매특성 요인들을 선행연구를 통하여 선정하고 이러한 구매특성이 고객만족과 충성도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석함으로써 외식기업이 소셜커머스를 이용하는데 있어 활용할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구를 위한 설문지는 총 300부가 사용되었고 분석은 구조방정식 모델을 통해 진행되었다. 분석결과, 소셜커머스 구매특성인 가격할인, 다양성제공, 상호작용성, 브랜드 친숙도 중 가격할인과 브랜드 친숙도가 고객만족과 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 외식기업은 소셜커머스 활용에 있어서 가격할인 전략과 브랜드 친숙도를 이용한 차별화된 마케팅 전략이 필요하다고 할 수 있다.

최근 의료시장이 글로벌화 되면서 인터넷 정보의 중요성이 인식되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인터넷 정보를 갖고 의료관광 추구 편익 요인들이 관광 브랜드 자산 요인을 통하여 의료관광지 선택 의도에 정(+)의 영향을 미친다는 가설을 가진 연구 모형을 갖고 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 건강 및 미용 추구가 인지 및 품질 매개 요인에 유의한 영향을 미치지 못한 반면, 서비스 및 자연 추구가 인지 및 품질 매개 요인에는 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 체험 추구가 인지 및 품질에는 유의하지 않았다. 그리고 인지 및 품질 매개 요인은 최종 종속 요인인 의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나왔다. 이러한 가설 결과를 통하여 제주 지역 내 의료관광을 육성하는 정책자 입장에서는 기존에 제주지역이 지니고 있는 서비스와 인지도의 향상의 중요성을 감안하고, 이에 기반을 둔 의료관광 상품 개발에 기본적 근간으로 인식해야 할 것이다.
