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.

The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of benefit sought of food products on SNS-WOM information characteristics, purchase intention, and SNS-WOM with regards to food products. In addition, the mediating role of SNS-WOM information characteristics was also examined. A survey was conducted from March 10th to 30th using an SNS based convenience sampling method. A total of 350 responses were collected, of which 326 were used for analysis, after excluding responses containing missing data. Multiple regression and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to verify the hypotheses. The results from this study are as follows. First, it was found that diversity and utilitarian benefits of food products had a greater effect on consensus of SNS than the symbolic and experimental benefits. However, symbolic and experimental benefits of food products had a greater effect on neutrality of SNS than the diversity and utilitarian benefits. Second, only consensus of SNS-WOM information characteristics significantly impacted purchase intention of food products. Third, consensus of SNS-WOM information characteristics had a greater effect on SNS-WOM intention of food products than the neutrality of SNS-WOM information characteristics. Fourth, SNS-WOM information characteristics were found to mediate the relationship between benefit sought and purchase intention of food products.
