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.

The present study aimed to investigate the information needs and information seeking behavior of consumers who attempted to quit or maintain the ceasing of smoking and analyze the effects of the health information obtained at different stages. In particular, we examined how consumers use mobile health applications(health apps) as aids to change unhealthy behaviors and how their use of health apps influence health behavior changes. For 7 months from December 2017 to July 2018, the researchers observed changes in smoking behaviors of college students who use smoking-cessation apps and conducted face-to-face interviews. Regarding the effects of smoking-cessation apps, the participants in the action stage reported that they were encouraged to quit smoking by visualized information such as the number of days of smoking cessation, change of health status, and the saving of money due to smoking cessation. The participants in the maintenance stage highlighted that smoking cessation apps were helpful in recognizing the importance and achievement of smoking cessation by sharing experiences and social support with other attempters in the app community. The study provided theoretical implications in the field of information behavior in that it identified the particular types of information needs and information-seeking behavior of the consumers who were using mobile apps in their behavior modification process. In addition, those findings can contribute to designing the contents of the smoking cessation apps that reflect the information needs of those who attempt to cease smoking and further suggest practical insights to health information services that promote effective information intervention strategies in health behavior change.

The present study aimed at investigating the strengths and weaknesses of a mobile personal health record (PHR) application and identifying its impacts on consumer health information behavior. For the study, twenty-seven college students used a PHR application for three months, based on which the study conducted paper-based interviews with them. The results of content analysis highlighted the benefits of the PHR such as supporting preventive healthcare and motivating and providing specific guidelines for healthy lifestyles by utilizing visual interface design, sharing the data with family and assisting caregivers to manage patients' healthcare, and above all enhancing the interaction between patients and healthcare professionals. However, the study found the drawbacks of the PHR such as a lack of data entry for strength training and the incompatibility with other healthcare applications. The participants were motivated to change their health behaviors in ways such as getting rid of sleep disorders, avoiding alcohol and smoking tobacco, and losing weight, and changing eating habits. Some consumers improved self-efficacy by changing their health behaviors, while the PHR provided emotional supports to the consumers who wanted to improve their health. The present study has an academic significance because the study of PHR is a burgeoning area in Korea. The study provides insights for promoting health and medical information services to cope with the paradigm shift of healthcare fields.
