The level and motivational basis of consumer involvement have been recognized as having important effects on purchase behavior. To explore the importance of hedonic aspects of involvement upon consumer purchase behavior, survey data on involvement degree and type concerning 8 product classes from 388 respondents was analyzed. Major findings of this study are summarized as follow. First of all, hedonic factor is evidenced as an important component of consumer involvement. In addition, hedonic dimension of involvement is proved to have significant effects on consumer purchase behavior in general. Secondly, analysis of the difference in behavioral tendencies between purchasing product with hedonic value(coffee) and utilitarian motive(washing machine) shows that consumers have relatively high in degree of brand differentiation, brand commitment, product knowledge in purchasing product with hedonic value. This means that hedonic aspect of product and thus hedonic involvement has not less important in predicting consumer behavior. Finally, several interactive effects, which suppot to and conflict against the previous research findings, between level and type of involvement upon purchase behaviors are detacted. This implies that hedonically induced involvement has moderating roles in the effects of consumer involvement on purchase behavior.

Using survey data and the Heckit model that adequately controls the sample selection bias, we analyze shoppers expenditure through two major emerging shopping channels: Internet shopping and TV home shopping channels. Age, Internet experience, daily Internet usage, the number of computers are factors that affect the ratio of consumers' expenditure through Internet shopping relative to the expenditure through TV home shopping. Shopping frequency which represents the shoppers' incentives to reduce transaction costs also has a positive effect on the proportion of shoppers' expenditure through the Internet shopping. Shoppers' perceptions of convenience, reliability, speed, and diversity are also shown to affect shoppers' relative expenditure ratio through Internet shopping. In contrast, shoppers' perception of prices does not seem to affect their purchasing behavior.

소비자의 하이테크 서비스 가입 이후 행태를 살펴보면, 가입자들은 서비스를 실제로 사용하기도 전에 가입 해지결정을 내리기도 한다. 최근 미국의 기간통신회사에서 출시된 인터넷전화 서비스의 경우, 출시 후 1년 반 동안 이탈한 고객 중 무려 60%정도가 서비스를 실제로 사용하기 전 상태인 네트워크 및 시스템이 준비되는 동안이나 소비자가 가정에서 전화기 연결용 어댑터를 설치하는 단계에서 이탈한 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 가입초기 고객의 이탈은 기업에게 고객획득과정에서 지출된 마케팅비용의 손실 및 미래의 매출감소뿐만 아니라, 기 가입자를 통한 미래의 가입 희망자에게 미칠 수 있는 긍정적 구전효과와 같은 간접효과에 대한 손실을 의미한다. 하지만 하이테크 서비스에 대한 소비자의 가입 후 행태에 대한 기존연구는 고객불평 연구, 서비스 사용 후 발생하는 정상적 이탈행태(normal churn)에 대한 연구, 또는 탐색적 연구를 제외하면 매우 부족하다. 더욱이 하이테크서비스의 특성을 고려한 서비스 출시초기에 소비자의 가입직후 해지결정에 대한 결정요인 연구는 그 필요성에 비해 연구가 전무하다시피한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 하이테크 서비스에 대한 소비자의가입시점과 실제 사용시점 사이에 발생하는 소비자의 이탈행태를 이탈시점에 따라 '가입직후 이탈(immediate churn)' 과 '가입 후 이탈(earlychurn)'로 정의한 후, 특히 가입직후 고객의 이탈행태를 설명하기 위해 하이테크 서비스에 대한 소비자의 이전 사용경험정도와 서비스에 대한 정보를 획득한 채널의 정보전달 풍부성 등을 연구모형에 포함하였다. 이 기간 동안에 기업은 서비스 제공에 필요한 부수적인 기기 제공 및 서비스 준비 등을 수행하지만, 동시에 소비자는 여러가지 이유로 가입결정을 제고할 수도 있게 된다. 제안된 연구모형에 대한 실증분석을 위해 미국 유수의 기간통신회사에서 2004년 출시된 인터넷전화(Voice over Internet Protocol: VoIP)서비스에 가입한 12,000여명 의 고객 프로파일과 서비스사용 데이터를 활용하였다. 분석결과 가입자의 하이테크 서비스에 대한 사용경험정도가 낮을수록 서비스 가입직후 바로 해지하는 경향을 보였다. 하지만 하이테크 서비스에 대한 이전 사용경험이 낮은 경우라도, 가입 후서비스를 실제로 사용하였다면 서비스에 대한 가입해지 경향은 더 이상 나타나지 않았다. 이는 가입자의 하이테크 서비스에 대한 이전 사용경험정도가 가입직후 해지에만 영향을 미치는 요인임을 보여준다. 또한 매체의 정보전달 풍부성 (media richness)이 상대적으로 높은 소매점이나 웹사이트를 통해 서비스에 가입한 소비자일수록 가입 직후뿐만 아니라 서비스사용 이후에도 낮은 해지성향을 나타냈다. 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 인터넷전화 서비스에 적합한 고객지원 프로그램 설계와 마케팅 매체선정과 관련한 전략적 시사점을 도출한다. 그리고 국내에서 최근 이슈가 되고 있는 차세대 무선인터넷 서비스인 와이브로 출시에 따른 마케팅 및 고객관리와 관련된 시사점을 논의한다.

An electric vehicle is emerging as an alternative to the response of global climate change and sustainability. However, an Electric vehicle has not been popular due to the constraints such as its price or technical limitations. In order to analyze the effect of purchasing electric vehicles, this study conducted a binary logistic regression model that demonstrates the relation between purchasing and influencing variables. Variables which have high correlation were excluded from the model through the correlation analysis to prevent multicollinearity. Socio-economic variables such as the number of owned vehicles, sex, ages are not significant. On the other hand, Variables related to prices, charging and policy are found to have a significant to effect on the purchase of electric vehicles. In accordance with the model estimated result, it seems to be necessary to improve the charging incentives, or to provide electric car information and to expand opportunities for experience electric vehicles. The result is also expected to be helpful for spreading electric vehicles and formulating policies.

For the growing importance of mobile communication, this study sets out to investigate the factors that influencing mobile phone customer satisfaction behavior through a structural equation model. This study proposes six factors model as the key determinants of customer satisfaction. Furthermore, we examine the moderating effect of demographic factors. The study was conducted using a structured questionnaire, data collected from 386 active subscribers. Results confirm that brand name, social influence and after sales service are the three significant determinants of consumer satisfaction. This study finding also suggests that demographic attributes have important consequences on customer satisfaction. The study findings offer an extended theoretical understanding towards customers' mobile satisfaction in the emerging market perspective and for practitioners, potentially to other similar context.
