This study analyzed the effects of consumers' characteristic variables on information search and purchase decisions in a decision-making process that validated the path model in purchasing apparel products. In constructing a structural equation model using AMOS 19.0., the variables including enjoyment pursuit, price pursuit, product involvement and product risk were selected as consumers' characteristic variables affecting the stage of information search. A questionnaire was distributed to consumers over 20 years old who purchased apparel products using offline and online channels within one year; consequently, we were able to analyze 468 effective data. The results were as follows. First, the path model of this research proved to be the appropriate model explaining the effects of consumers' characteristic variables on the stage of purchase decision-making. Second, enjoyment pursuit had a significant positive influence on offline information search; in addition, price pursuit and product risk affected the online information search significantly. Product involvement affected online information search as well as offline information search. Third, the offline information search affected offline purchase and online information search affected online purchase. However, consumer's channel switching behavior between the stage of information search and the stage of purchase decision was not proven. The findings suggest that companies need to develop distribution strategies according to consumers' characteristic factors that effect consumer's purchase decision-making.

This study investigated consumer convergence preferences for healthcare information service in social media using the multi-attribute utility theory. The multi-attribute utility theory is an approach for compositional modeling attributes wherein researchers compute the overall service utility by aggregating the evaluation results for attribute values. We found that healthcare information service consumers in social media evaluate the service preference through the multi attributes - Update, Cost, Usefulness, Usability, Reliability. And the study shows that individual preference by estimating weight of each attribute in the services influences the service use intention. So we believe that estimating preferences with multi-attribute utility theory will predict business success of the services in a new media, and for a successful business of the social media services marketers should assess the consumer's preference using the multi-attributes.
