The objectives of this study are to identify significant antecedents of trust and satisfaction and to examine the relationship between trust and satisfaction and interrelationship between trust, satisfaction, loyalty, relationship retention and intention of words of mouth based on buyers of Chinese internet shopping mall. The questionnaire was collected by personal interview. A total of 448 completed questionnaires were collected. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to test the validity of the measurement model, and the structural model also was analyzed to examine the associations hypothesized in the research model. This study uses AMOS program to investigate the research model. Results in this paper indicate that the antecedents of trust and satisfaction have three dimensions, namely communicational, traditional and relational factors. All these three functions are positively related to trust and satisfaction. Also the results show that trust and satisfaction are positively related to loyalty, relationship retention and intention of words of mouth. Finally, this study suggests the implications of these findings and offers directions for future research.

In order to examine the effects of self-congruity on functional congruity, brand attitude and behavioral intention in name-brand coffee shops, this study attempted to examine the self-congruity in two types which are nonsocial-type SC and social-type SC. The results showed that self-congruity had positive significant effects on functional congruity and nonsocial-type SC influenced to functional congruity more than social-type SC. Also, these two types of self-congruity didn't have direct significant effects on brand attitude. But it had significant effects on brand attitude through the functional congruity. Finally, brand attitude positively impacted on behavioral intention. These findings provide managers in name-brand coffee shops with strategies for implementing more effective brand image building as well as focusing on satisfying customer's functional congruity.

For many firms, customers are their most valuable assets. This is a shift in the interest of managers and researchers from a traditional focus on product management to a more recent focus on customer management. And they manage their customers with relationship marketing. Despite the recent academic interest in the study of customer equity, prior research has focused on brand equity and limited relationship mediated variate such as satisfaction, commitment and trust. This paper suggests customer equity drives with mediated variate and examines how relationship marketing can generate drives of customer equity and influence on customer behaviors. The results are like this. First, customer equity drives include value, brand and relationship equity and they mediate between relationship marketing activities and customer behaviors. Second, financial, social and structural activities have significant impact on repurchase, positive word of mouth, and cross purchase through customer equity drives. Third, this study tried to organize literature on customer equity systematically. It will become the foundation of follow-up studies.

This study focus on the effect of switching barrier on negative performance. To suggest the negative effect of switching barrier, we reviewed the researches on service-failure and attribution theory. The model which we present in the research study includes the antecedents and consequences of negative emotions(regret, resentment) that caused by switching barriers. The former factors consist of internal attribution and external attribution. The latter factors consist of acceptance, complain, negative word-of-mouth. Survey research is employed to test these hypotheses. Previous researches, such as service marketing, psychology, have been referenced to measure constructs. We collected data involving various service area, and used 189 respondents to analyze these data with LISREL structural modeling. The hypothesized relationships were statistically significant. Internal attribution had positive effect on regret and external attribution had positive effects on resentment. And then regret had significant effects on acceptance and complain behaviour. Also resentment strongly effects on complain behaviour and negative word-of-mouth. We concluded with managerial implications, including the potential to deeper understanding switching barrier.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of sustainability management in institutional foodservice on store image and behavioral intention (revisit intention, word of mouth, willingness to pay a premium). Methods: Based on a total of 371 samples obtained from the empirical research, this study reviewed the reliability and fitness of the model. Results: According to results of exploratory factor analysis, sustainability management derived three factors, economic value, socially responsible, and environmentally sound. The structural equation modeling showed that social responsibility in sustainability management had a significant positive effect on store image and behavioral intention. In addition, customer's perceived store image in foodservice had a significant positive effect on behavioral intention. The relationship between sustainability management and behavioral intention was found to be a partially significant effect. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed the importance of sustainability management of foodservice to improve store image and behavioral intention.

이 논문은 특별히 사이버쇼핑몰들이나 상업적인 웹사이트에서 효과적인 고객 지향적인 개별화 서비스를 지원하는 원투원에이젼트의 구조를 제안한다. 데이터베이스를 연동하여 동적인 웹페이지를 지원하는 기존의 많은 쇼핑몰이나 상업성을 지닌 웹사이트들은 고객의 기호, 관심, 프로파일, 행동양식, 고객 히스토리등을 고려하지 않기 때문에 여전히 모든 고객에게 획일적으로 같은 내용을 제시하여 개별화된 원투원 서비스를 지원하지 못하고 있다. 이런 문제를 극복하기 위해서는 웹사이트를 구축하는 회사들은 제품정보, 서비스 정보등을 고객이나 비즈니스 파트너에게 좀더 개별화되고 고객 지향적인 정보를 제공하고 고객과의 원투원 관계를 지속시키기 위하여 웹사이트 구축전략을 신중히 수립하여야 한다. 지금까지 원투원 웹사이트 개발을 위해 타겟 푸쉬, 타겟 메일, 타겟 광고등 다양한 개별화 기술이 사용되어 왔다. 이 논문에서는 성능과 안정성을 고려한 멀티쓰레드기반 개별화 에이젼트 구조와 개별 고객의 고객 지향적인 서비스를 위해 규칙기반의 매칭기술을 사용하며 적응적인 프로파일을 위해 피드백 프로파일 기법을 소개한다. 규칙 기반 매칭 기술은 매칭엔진에 의하여 다양한 개별화된 컨텐츠와 메일을 생성할 수 있으며 규칙문장은 다양한 서비스를 표현하고 평가할 수 있게 설계 되었다.
