This study aims to classify the pursuit benefits of smart-phone users, to find smart-phone market segments by pursuit benefits, and to analyze the relative importances of smart-phone attributes according to the smart-phone market segments. As a result, we found that smart-phone users are pursuing the network benefit as well as the two traditional benefits (the utilitarian benefit and the hedonic benefit). According to the levels of these three pursuit benefits, smart-phone users can be classified into four segments : All Benefits Cluster, Utilitarian-Network Benefits Cluster, Hedonic-Network Benefits Cluster, and Non-Network Benefits Cluster. We also verified that, according to the four smart-phone user segments by the pursuit benefits, there exist significant differences in relative importances of the seven smart-phone attributes : hand-set price, hand-set brand, hand-set speed, applications, tariff, mobile internet quality, and number of same service users.

First as a result of conducting factor analysis of tourism SNS lovemarks experience, five factors explained namely, mystery, sensuality, intimacy, trust, reputation. Second, as a result of conducting cluster analysis, four cluster groups were identified (reputation/sensuality centered experience group, high lovemarks experience group, intimacy centered experience group, low lovemarks experience group) and each characteristics were profiled. Third, as a result of Chi-square analysis and correspondence analysis, there was a difference in the characteristics of tourism SNS usage by cluster. Fourth, higher tourism SNS lovemarks experience segmented groups were more likely to recognize the degree of experiential value, satisfaction, behavioral intention.

The purpose of this study is to provide the strategic implication of the Korean open air market by examining the factors affecting customer loyalty for various market segments as their competitive environment becomes more turbulent. We have undertaken empirical research that uses the methodology of a mixture regression modeling, as a way to ascertain the determinants of customer loyalty toward the Korean open air market, which should form the base of strategy for each segment. We construct a mixture regression model which uses perceived the Korean open air market value dimensions as explanatory variables, an income as a covariate variable, and a customer loyalty as a dependent variable. The analysis of results show that customers are statistically divided into four segments: 'Accessibility'(33.7%), 'Price'(29.7%), 'Shopping environment,'(22.0%), and 'Merchandising,'(14.5%) groups. The findings also showed that parameter estimates are different for each group, which indicates that the sensitivity to changes in the Korean traditional market perceived value and the income variable affecting customer loyalty vary among segments.

본 연구의 목적은 해외여행 동기에 따라 여행자들의 집단을 나누고 각 집단별로 해외여행시 구매하는 상품이나 이용 매장의 특성을 비교하는데 있다. 문헌연구를 통해 여행동기와 구매상품의 종류와 속성, 쇼핑장소의 유형과 속성에 대한 주요 문항들을 추출하였다. 20-50대 해외여행 경험자 431명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고 K-평균 군집분석을 통해, 적극적 집단, 소극적 집단, 자연 쾌락추구 집단, 가족 발견추구 집단의 4개의 군집이 확인되었다. 적극적인 여행자들은 해외에서 구매하는 모든 상품종류에 대해 가장 높은 관심을 보였으며 다른 세 집단보다 유의하게 차이가 있었다. 특히 소극적인 여행자나 자연 쾌락추구 여행자들보다 패션 사치품이나 기념품 구매를 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 상품 속성에서 디자인과 명성, 실용성, 가격과 품질 등의 요인들을 중요하게 고려하였다. 구매 장소 측면에서는 적극적 집단은 지역 시장, 패션매장, 선물매장 순으로 선호하였으며 소극적인 여행자들은 패션매장을 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 구매장소 속성의 중요도는 편의성, 디스플레이, 매장위치 및 판촉활동 순으로 중요시되었으며 적극적인 여행자들은 다른 세 집단 여행자들보다 매장 편의성에 대한 관심이 유의하게 높았다. 가족 발견중심 여행자와 자연 쾌락추구 여행자 집단은 쇼핑행동이 비슷하거나 일부 요인에서만 차이가 있었다. 소극적 여행자들은 나머지 세 집단과 구별되게 모든 쇼핑행동에 대한 관심이 낮았다. 여행동기에 근거한 시장세분화는 서로 다른 쇼핑행동을 예측할 수 있는 변별력이 있음을 보여주었다.
