The purpose of this paper is to examine how loyalty programs designed by retail stores affect customer retention. The present study is one of the few empirical studies finding the role of different loyalty programs that help to build customer retention. The study also seeks to explore the moderation role of customer perceived value between intrinsic motivation - customer retention and extrinsic motivation - customer retention. The researchers employed a quantitative research design to collect data from the 350 respondents who purchased goods from the retail chain/departmental stores in Bangladesh. The collected data are then analyzed using structural equation modeling. The result of their findings indicated that the size of the organizational reward has a positive effect on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation; further extrinsic motivation has a significant relation to customer retention. Surprisingly, no support was found for the positive impact of intrinsic motivation on customer retention. Customer perceived value (CPV) is critical as a moderator in building client retention, which improves the positive association between extrinsic motivation and customer retention. CPV, on the other hand, was found to mitigate the negative link between intrinsic motivation and client retention.

Creating a new retailing environment to meet the seamless experience requirements of consumers is a challenge for Omnichannel-related businesses. Based on the "appraisal-emotion-response" chain, the purpose of this research is to explore the psychological mechanism of omnichannel integration influencing customer retention and the moderating effect of customer showrooming experience. This research uses a structural equation model in partial least square software to analyze a two-stage survey (Study 1: n = 210; Study 2: n = 342) conducted in China. The results show that channel control experience has three dimensions: perceived channel attribute familiarity, channel type matching, and cross-channel access convenience; consistent interactive experience has two dimensions: information cross-channel consistency and cross-channel service support. Furthermore, both channel control experience and consistent interactive experience are favorable for customer retention through increased customer satisfaction (transactional and retailer satisfaction). Finally, customer showrooming experience positively moderates the relationship between consistent interactive experience and customer satisfaction. This research proposes a self-regulation process model to explain how omnichannel integration enhances consumers' experience, finally leading to consumer retention. The findings contribute to the omnichannel retail business literature and provide management implications for Asian retailers to implement an omnichannel business strategy.

고객관계관리(customer relationship management: 이하 CRM)는 고객에 대한 정보를 수집하고 수집된 정보를 효과적으로 활용하여 신규고객획득, 우수고객 유지, 고객가치 증진, 잠재고객 활성화, 평생 고객화의 순환을 통하여 고객을 적극적으로 관리하고 유지하며 고객의 가치를 극대화시키기 위한 기업 마케팅 전략의 일환이다. 특히 경쟁 환경이 급변하고 치열해 짐에 따라 기업의 수익 극대화를 위한 고객가치 증대 및 고객과의 관계 형성을 위한 CRM활동 중 고객의 이탈방지를 통한 유지관리의 중요성이 점차 커지고 있으며, 이러한 움직임은 고객 세분화를 통한 이탈고객 관리분석으로 주로 금융시장에서 다루어져왔다. 한편, 금융시장뿐만 아니라 모든 사업 분야에서 고객 유지 및 이탈방지를 위한 분석의 필요성은 높아지고 있다. 그 이유는 자사가 보유하고 있는 고객의 특성을 파악함으로써 기존의 고객을 효과적으로 유지·관리하여 고객이탈을 막는 것이 고객관리에서 점차 그 중요성을 더하기 때문이다. 그러나 아직까지 필요성만 대두될 뿐 어떠한 속성을 보유하고 있는 고객이 쉽게 이탈하는지를 판별할 수 있는 이탈고객에 대한 체계적인 연구가 진행되지 않았다는데 한계점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 TV 홈쇼핑사의 실제 고객자료를 통하여 고객의 유지 및 이탈방지를 위한 CRM전개방안, 이탈고객과 유지고객간의 인구통계적 속성 및 거래 행동의 특성 차이를 분석, 이탈에 미치는 영향력이 높은 변수를 밝혀내고 이탈고객예측 모형을 통하여 개별고객의 이탈확률을 예측하고자 했다. 더 나아가 실증 분석 결과를 바탕으로 이탈예측고객을 대상으로 고객 이탈을 방지하고 거래유지 및 활성화를 위한 CRM전개 방안을 도출, 이를 바탕으로 TV 홈쇼핑사가 수립해야할 마케팅 전략을 제시한다.

The game industry has grown steadily and the online game has become one of the most attractive game segments for its remarkable growth. Customer management in the online game industry, however, has received little attention from the academic field. The purpose of this study is to analyze the drivers of customer defection in the online game setting and suggest not only theoretical but also managerial insights into increasing customer retention rates. Prior to empirical analysis, the authors hypothesized that 3 variables of interests (Learning, Playing, Achievement) would explain the customer defection according to preceeding researches. To demonstrate these hypotheses, the authors obtained data from one of the biggest game publishers in Korea, and the empirical analysis model was developed considering context of research settings. The results of analyses provide the following insights. First, the key behavioral variables of Learning, Playing, and Achievement play substantial roles in explaining the customer defection. Next, the effects of these variables vary between customer types: novice and experienced customers. The defection decisions by novice customers are predicted by all key behavioral variables and Playing serves as the most influential indicator of the defection decisions. However, experienced customers are influenced by Playing and Achievement, while Learning has no impact on the defection decisions. Finally, the authors investigated hypothetical customer retention strategies, using the empirical results. The market outcomes indicate that the customer retention strategies work well with novice customers and it is hard-to-impossible to prevent experienced customers from defection using their behavioral data. These findings together deliver several meaningful insights to management as follow. First, the management should support customers to get involved in Learning activities at the very first stage. Second, customer's Achievement and appropriate compensation for it would work as defection barriers. Last, to optimize the outcomes of firm's marketing investments, it is better to focus on retention of novice users not experienced ones.

본 연구는 항공기 상위클래스를 이용하는 고객의 기내서비스에 대한 서비스품질과 고객가치 및 관계유지의도와의 영향 관계를 규명하고자 함에 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 기내서비스품질을 물적 서비스품질과 인적 서비스품질요인으로 선정하였고 고객가치를 매개변수로 종속변수인 관계유지의도간의 인과관계를 나타내는 연구모형과 연구가설을 설정하였다. 분석결과, 항공기 상위클래스 물적 서비스품질요인과 인적 서비스품질요인 모두 고객가치와 관계유지의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 상위클래스 서비스품질에 대한 고객의 가치는 관계유지의도에 정(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 해당 항공사와 지속적인 관계를 유지할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과에 의해 항공기 상위클래스를 이용하는 상용고객의 로열티 확보와 선호도 등을 파악하여 고객이 특별함을 느끼게 하는 서비스전략이 필요하며 항공사는 조직의 내부점검과 고객감동의 가치실현을 위해 승무원 서비스교육에 투자와 정성이 요구된다.
