A blog has significant effect as a new online medium and as a tool to share information with its powerful networking function. Blogs are established based on personal experience and their impact is stronger than conventional media in terms of informativeness, credibility and interactivity. Such characteristics of blogs lead to blog commitment (a phenomenon that has behavioral consequences) that eventually influences consumer fashion purchase behavior. The more a consumer is interested in fashion and seeks diverse information from a wide range of media, the more personally committed they become to certain blogs; in addition, they will also post the results of their fashion product purchases on their blog to further create and reproduce information. This research discovers how blog commitment affects fashion product purchase behavior and information reproduction activity among consumers as well as explores the impact of blog characteristics and information variety seeking by individual consumers on these factors. The data was collected from 428 adults who purchased a fashion product based on information they found on a blog. The results are as follows. First, blog characteristics are composed of accessibility, interactivity, credibility of the information, and informativeness. Second, in terms of the blog commitment, informativeness, credibility, and consumer information diversification (respectively), turned out to have positive effects; in addition, accessibility and credibility had positive effects for corporate blogs. The comparison between private and corporate blogs showed that consumers tend to be more committed to private blogs. Third, in terms of the brand attitude, private/corporate blog commitment, credibility, and consumer information diversification (respectively) had a positive influence. Fourth, blog characteristics and consumer information diversification led consumers (through private/corporate blog commitment) to form a favorable attitude towards the brand and purchase products that resulted in information reproduction of the purchased product.

We can divide brand experience in the brand community of online blog into the following five types: sensuous experience, emotional experience, cognitive experience, behavioral experience, and relational experience. And this study is aimed at looking into what differences are among the effects those five have on the consumer-brand relationship. Also we wanted to analyse empirically what structural relations this consumer-brand relationship through the whole experience has with brand attachment and brand commitment. The outcome shows that emotional experience, cognitive experience and relational experience affect the consumer-brand relationship but sensuous experience and behavioral experience. And our analysis of what structural relations the consumer-brand relationship through brand experience has with brand attachment and brand commitment revealed that the consumer-brand relationship through brand experience has a direct effect on brand attachment but it doesn't have on brand commitment. Brand commitment was confirmed to be affected only through brand attachment. Finally, this is in agreement with the result of the precedent study that brand commitment is an effect variable of brand attachment.

사용자들이 직접 콘텐츠의 제작 및 공유에 참여하는 패러다임의 변화로써 사용자 제작 콘텐츠(UCC)가 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 UCC의 제작과 공유 과정에 영향을 미치는 동기와 보상 요인을 살펴보고, 이를 바탕으로 보다 창의적인 콘텐츠를 제작, 공유하기 위한 UCC 서비스의 보상 체계를 구축하려고 시도하였다. 이를 위해, 보상과 동기에 관련한 광범위한 문헌 조사를 실시하였으며, 이를 기반으로 UCC 에서의 보상 체계에 대한 연구 모형을 수립하고 설문조사 방법론을 통해 이를 검증하였다. 총 133 명의 블로그 사용자들이 연구에 참여하였으며, 수집된 데이터는 구조방정식을 이용하여 분석되었다. 연구 결과 개별 보상 요인들은 사용자들의 UCC 제작과 관련한 내, 외재적 동기에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 그러한 동기 요인들에 따라서 UCC의 창의성 수준이 달라질 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 기존에 경영학 분야에서 주로 연구되어 온 보상의 개념을 보다 확장하여 UCC 라는 새로운 서비스에 적용하였다는 데에 그 이론적인 의의를 찾을 수 있으며, 또한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 UCC 서비스에서의 새로운 보상 체계에 대한 가이드라인을 제시하였다는 점에서 연구의 실용적 의의를 찾을 수 있다고 판단된다.

지금까지 사이버문화에 대한 연구는 해당 문화의 가장 큰 특성 중인 익명성과 그것이 개별 이용자들의 정체성에 미치는 영향에 대한 많은 관심이 있어왔다. 최근 주목을 받고 있는 싸이월드나 블로그 등 CMC환경에서 매체가 일반적으로 여성의 라이프스타일 및 여성성과 연관되어 정체성의 구성에 영향을 미치게 되며, 이러한 이용 형태를 마케팅과 접목하여 높은 여성 참여와 구매력을 이끌어내고 있다. 반면 온라인게임은 남성 중심의 매체로써의 특징을 가지고 있으며, 상대적으로 여성의 온라인게임 이용 행태 분석 및 마케팅 전략 연구가 미흡하였다. 온라인게임에서 여성 이용자의 참여나 구매력을 이끌어 내기 위해서는 우선적으로 남성 중심적 매체에서 여성 온라인게임 유저의 이용 행태 분석 이 선행되어야 하며, 이를 통하여 여성의 온라인게임 소비 패턴과 특성을 파악하고, 나아가 고객 충성도, 구매력과의 관련성 속에서 마케팅적 시사점을 도출하여야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 온라인게임 여성 유저의 심층 인터뷰를 통하여 우선적으로 연령별 게임 이용 패턴 - 게임이용 장소, 초기 진입 방식, 커뮤니티 활동, 아이템 구매 형태 등 - 에 대해 알아보고, 다음으로 여성 유저의 게임 플레이 방식으로 게임 내 캐릭터의 전유 방식(몰입)과 게임 플레이 스타일을 고찰하고자 한다. 이때 여성의 온라인게임 이용 방식이 남성적 매체라는 구조적 공간 내에서 여성의 성적 특성이 온라인게임 소비 행태에 어떠한 영향을 미치며, 또한 여성 유저의 이용 방식에 따라 고객 충성도에 미치는 효과에 대해 알아보도록 한다.
