The purpose of this study is to find out how the online brand community characteristics affect customer behavior according to self-construal level and gender difference. The characteristics of online community are divided into interaction, objectivity, information provision, and activity reward. First, interactivity and activity compensation among the characteristics of online community have a positive effect on brand community commitment. On the other hand, the effect of purpose and information provision is insufficient. Second, the greater the commitment to the brand community, the higher the WOM effect is. Finally, this study shows that customers with dependent self-construal tendencies have more brand community support than customers with independent self-construal tendencies, and females show more brand community support than males. This study suggests an efficient marketing approach to companies through a brand community commitment by understanding the intrinsic motivation of consumers' self-construal level.

최근 인터넷 상거래가 급속히 확산되면서 기업의 경쟁이 실물세계와 가상세계에서 발생하는 현상이 전개되고 있다. 즉, 유통경로의 측면에서 볼 때 기존의 물리적 세계에 존재하는 전통적인 유통경로와 사이버공간에 존재하는 가상 유통경로가 서로 경쟁하는 형국이 벌어지고 있는 것이다. 온라인 유통경로가 활성화 되면서 두 유통경로간의 갈등양상도 나타나고 있다. 예를 들어, 자동차, 보험, 증권 등의 업종에서 온라인 경로를 통한 판매는 즉각적으로 오프라인 영업사원들의 반발을 불렀다. 컴팩의 경우는 자기 웹사이트나 대리점보다 더 싸게 자사제품을 판매하는 온라인 쇼핑몰에는 제품공급중단을 선언하기도 했다.(중략)

인터넷의 급속한 성장으로 e비즈니스의 인터넷 사용이 증대되었다. 인터넷 환경에서는 새로운 인터넷 사용자라는 소비자를 대상으로 인터넷 소비자 행동에 관한 연구가 중요한 분야로 자리잡게 되었다. 인터넷상에서의 소비자 행동을 설명하기 위해 온라인 인지절차 (Cognitive process)에 관한 연구로, 웹 사이트에 대한 소비자의 태도에 미치는 영향을 밝히는 연구들이 수행되었다. 웹 사이트에 대한 소비자의 태도에 따른 개인화된 마케팅을 위해서는 웹사이트를 소비자의 특성을 고려해서 개인화된 웹사이트를 운영해야 한다. 개인의 정보 시스템 사용에 대한 설명을 위하여 많은 모형들이 개발되어 왔다. 기술 수용 모형(Technology Acceptance Model: TAM)은 개인의 정보 시스템 수용에 영향을 미치는 요소를 설명하기 위하여 가장 폭 넓게 사용되고 있는 모형이다. TRA 모형에 따르면, 개인의 사회적 행위는 그 행위의 결과에 대한 신념에 의해 영향을 받는다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 고객의 신념을 신뢰 (Trust), 유용성 (Usefulness), 사용의 편의성 (Ease of Use), 위험 (Risk), 보안통제 (Security control)로 분류하고, 고객의 실제 사용 (Usage)을 인터넷 뱅킹 환경에서 측정하여 고객세분화에 적용하였다. 세분화된 고객집단을 분류하기 위해서 인공신경망, 판별 분석 기법을 적용하여 웹 사이트에서 사용할 수 있는 개인화 모형을 개발하였다.

In nowadays, Covid-19 has transformed patterns of consumers' behavior into a non-face-to-face mode. As the patterns of consumption have been digitalized, it has become a daily routine for consumers who perform so-called shadow work, which involves unpaid jobs that they have to do by themselves. In mobile grocery service context, consumers' shadow work could lead to shopping avoidance as well as switching toward other shopping channels. Thus, this study is to examine how consumers' perception of shadow work affect mobile shopping avoidance and switching intention toward other shopping channels. This study collected 283 survey data from online respondents who have experience on subscription services for ordering groceries in online. We also tested our research model by using partial least squares. Based on our results, this study has found that the perception of shadow work had a positive effect on mobile shopping avoidance as well as switching intention. We expect that our findings could contribute to relevant research on shadow work and suggest practical implications for digital platforms dealing with subscription business models

The purpose of this study is to focus on the effects of different channel types of Word-of-Mouth on the product attitude. Additionally, the product involvement and gender are considered as moderating variables. The results of this study show that different word-of-mouth channel types have different effects on the product attitude, that is, off-line has more influence than on-line does. Also the product involvement moderates the relationship between the channel types of word-of-mouth and the product attitude, while the gender does not. The results imply that while building the word-of-mouth marketing strategy, companies should not only pay attention to the on-line media channel, but lay importance on the off-line communication channel.

This study conducted both big data and netnography analysis to analyze consumer needs and behaviors of online consumer community. Big data analysis is easy to identify correlations, but causality is difficult to identify. To overcome this limitation, we used netnography analysis together. The netnography methodology is excellent for context grasping. However, there is a limit in that it is time and costly to analyze a large amount of data accumulated for a long time. Therefore, in this study, we searched for patterns of overall data through big data analysis and discovered outliers that require netnography analysis, and then performed netnography analysis only before and after outliers. As a result of analysis, the cause of the phenomenon shown through big data analysis could be explained through netnography analysis. In addition, it was able to identify the internal structural changes of the community, which are not easily revealed by big data analysis. Therefore, this study was able to effectively explain much of online consumer behavior that was difficult to understand as well as contextual semantics from the unstructured data missed by big data. The big data-netnography integrated model proposed in this study can be used as a good tool to discover new consumer needs in the online environment.

인터넷에 대한 폭발적 관심에 이어서 전자상거래가 기존의 상거래방식에 대한 새로운 변화를 모색하고 있다 이같은 전자상거래는 확장기업, 가상기업 등과 같은 새로운 개념의 비즈니스 모델을 촉진시킬 것으로 전망되고 있다. 특히 온라인 쇼핑몰과 같은 기업과 소비자간의 인터넷 비즈니스는 향후 수년에 걸쳐 폭발적 신장세를 보일 것으로 전망되고 있는데, 우리나라의 경우 일반적 분위기와는 달리 아직까지는 활발한 움직임을 보여 주지 못하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 소비자가 전자상거래에 진입하는 데 영향을 미치는 역기능들을 알아보고, 그러한 역기능들이 전자상거래상에서 소비자의 구매만족도에 어떤관계를 보이는 지를 분석하고자 한다.

As internet and mobile technology brings rapid transformation to this society of information, how relations are conducted between customers have become a critical factor influencing companies. Companies are creating Internet communities based on their brands, encouraging customers to actively form and develop brand communities. Thus, this report proposes a plan to analyze the effectiveness of community activities based on the customers active involvement and how to effectively manage and utilize it. The purpose of this research is to understand the effects on-line brand communities and their characters have on customer behavior. Also, it will study the effects community attitudes have on brand decisions and oral transmission communication when on-line brand communities choose a brand. This report was conducted to survey on-line university students to understand how communities' attitude affects the decision of on-line university brand and oral transmissions when students choose to study at a on-line university. According to research, those factors brought positive responses to character of the brand communities(confidentiality of information, interactivity, convenience, intimacy) and by doing so, on the customer's attitude side, positive results on intention of purchase and oral transmissions can be expected. In addition, the character of the brand communities affects intention of purchase and oral transmission communication. Based on this research, it is possible to propose a marketing strategy that revitalizes brand communities' activities.
