Abstract

As generation of Web 2.0 comes in, enormous information of corporation from various platform are being produced. However, corporations should understand features of each platform and appropriate strategies in order to attract the public in the midst of such flood of information. Numerous studies have been conducted regarding SNS which has grown rapidly in recent but a study relating a specific medium is relatively in short. So this study analyzed how information of Instagram bulletin board is accepted in perspective of consumer in Korean and America, We examined the relationship between intention of acceptance and Word Of Mouth effect through meditating effect of information usefulness. To answer the research question, we conducted online survey with Korean and USA college students. The result showed that usefulness of the information was shown to the major intermediary variable between the information characteristics of bulletin board and the intention of acceptance intention and Word Of Mouth(WOM).

Web 2.0시대를 맞이하여 다양한 플랫폼으로부터 기업의 수많은 정보가 쏟아지고 있다. 그러나 셀 수 없이 많은 정보의 홍수 속에서 대중들의 호응을 얻기 위해 기업들은 각각의 플랫폼의 특징을 이해하고 이에 적합한 마케팅 전략을 구사해야 한다. 그러나 최근에 급격히 성장하고 있는 소셜네트워크(Social Network Service)에 관련한 연구는 많이 진행되었으나 특정 매체에 관한 연구는 상대적으로 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 한국과 미국의 소비자들에서 인스타그램 게시글 정보가 어떻게 받아들여지는지 분석하여 인스타그램 게시글 정보특성이 수용의도 및 구전효과에 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 정보유용성 매개효과를 통해 살펴보았다. 이 연구문제에 답하기 위해서 인스타그램의 주요 이용자인 한국과 미국 대학생을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 실시하였다. 그 결과 정보유용성은 인스타그램 게시글 정보특성과 수용의도 및 구전효과 사이에서 주요한 매개효과 역할을 하는 결과가 도출되었다.
