The objective of this study was to identify the cultural characteristics affecting advertising contents of the consumer products. Hofstedes(1991) five cultural characteristics such as individualism-collectivism, power distance, masculinity-feminity, avoidance of uncertainty, confucian dynamism were used. Ten kinds of consumer products were included and data were collected from France, Japan, Korea, and U. S. during 1999∼2000. All ads were evaluated and compared their cultural characteristics in terms of country, product involvement and usage, and magazine type. ANOVA, Duncan test, and Pearson correlation-coefficient were applied to analyze data. The results were shown as follows: First, most ads tended to be individual, less power oriented, feministic, and showed high tendency of uncertainty avoidance as well as long term confucianism for all the countries. And some cultural characteristics were different among countries. Japan, France, U. S. and Korea in order showed higher individualism and lower power distance. Also Korea and Japan showed relatively short term confucian culture while U. S. and France did ling term perspectives in the ads. Second, product involvement and usage type had a significant impact on the characteristics of individualism-collectivism and feminity-masculinity. That is, product ads of lower involvement and personal use were likely to show individualistic messages and to have more feministic appeals. Third, magazine type had an impact on some cultural characteristics. Womens magazines would have more individualistic, less power oriented, and feministic appeals of ads. In conclusion, global ads should be localized and differentiated in terms of some cultural characteristics and differ depending on product characteristics.

Many studies in marketing and economics have attempted to model price and sales path under the dynamic diffusion process. Most of these models have been based on a fixed product lifetime. The current business climate requiring intensive development of new products however affects the diffusion of new products and their lifetime. Many products have not enjoyed the expected life cycle at the launching stage due to intense technical development competitive reactions, and financial problems. Most diffusion models however have not taken account of the lifetime uncertainty of new product. If the products do not last over the planning horizon set by those models. the optimal price derived from them could be futile. Therefore we had better take such lifetime uncertainty into consideration when developing diffusion models, In this paper we study the impact of uncertain product lifetime on its optimal pricing path in non-competitive market. We develop an optimal pricing model under uncertain product lifetimes and conduct a simulation study to investigate their effects on the optimal pricing and corresponding sales paths. The simulation study provides some interesting findings on optimal pricing policy under uncertain product lifetime. This study could be a stepping stone for the further extended study of optimal pricing strategy with uncertain product lifetime.

The present study provides a theoretical investigation on pioneering advantage based on reference dependence and loss aversion effect under prospect theory (Kahneman and Tversky, 1979). Behavioral explanations for pioneering advantage are provided from two different perspectives: one based on the prototypicality and the other on the utility uncertainty of the option. A pioneer brand creates the product category and makes a strong impression in customers' mind, and thus becomes the most representative or prototypical option of the category. In addition, the pioneer brand becomes the first option to be experienced by the majority of consumers in the product category, thus has the lowest level of utility uncertainty compared with the late movers. This study integrates the previous accounts for pioneering advantage by showing that consumers have higher preferences for the most prototypical and the least uncertain option based on loss aversion and reference dependence effect. This study suggests that firms should carefully analyze the consumers' loss aversion and perceived uncertainty and prototypicality of their products in order to develop effective market entry strategies.

Quality function deployment (QFD) is a useful tool for ensuring quality throughout each stage of the product development and production process. Since the focus of QFD is placed on the early stage, the uncertainty in the input information of QFD is inevitable. If the uncertainty is neglected, the QFD analysis results are likely to be misleading. This paper classifies the sources of uncertainty in QFD, and proposes a new approach to model and analyze the effects of uncertainty in QFD.

External knowledge search is critical to expand the firm's knowledge base, increasing the innovation performance. However, prior literature has paid less scholarly attention on the boundary condition of the search activity. In particular, the few literatures on the contingency factors are either conceptual or focus on the firm characteristics such as resources and capability. In this regard, this study argues the negative moderating effect of knowledge protection and environmental uncertainty of a firm on the positive relationship between external knowledge search and innovation performance, because these contingency factors hamper the reciprocity and the mutual trust between the firm and its external partner that provides knowledge needed in the innovation process. The empirical analysis is based on the sample drawn from Korean Innovation Survey, provided by STEPI in Korea. The sample consists of 1,637 respondent firms that experienced product innovation during the survey period. We could find statistically supporting results for the negative moderating effect on the positive relationship between external knowledge search and innovation performance. This study extends the academic debate on the boundary conditions of external knowledge search and provides managerial implications for successful product innovation.

This study proposes an optimal operational policy for a green supply chain (GSC) where a retailer pays an incentive for collection of used products from customers and determines the optimal order quantity of a single product under uncertainty in product demand. A manufacturer produces the optimal order quantity of product using recyclable parts with acceptable quality levels and covers a part of the retailer's incentive from the recycled parts. Here, two scenarios for the product demand are assumed as: the distribution of product demand is known, and only both mean and variance are known. This paper develops mathematical models to find how order quantity, collection incentive of used products and lower limit of quality level for recycling affect the expected profits of each member and the whole supply chain under both a decentralized GSC (DGSC) and an integrated GSC (IGSC). The analysis numerically compares the results under DGSC with those under IGSC for each scenario of product demand. Also, the effect of the quality of the recyclable parts on the optimal decisions is shown. Moreover, supply chain coordination to shift the optimal decisions of IGSC is discussed based on: I) profit ratio, II) Nash bargaining solution, and III) Combination of (I) and (II).

마케팅 연구에서 판매촉진은 지난 수십 년간 지속적으로 연구되어 온 분야중의 하나이다. 판매촉진은 소비자의 지각된 가치를 증가시키는 방법으로 크게 2가지 유형으로 나누어 볼 수 있는데, 첫째, 소비자에게 비용을 줄여주는 방법인 가격인하 판매촉진과 둘째, 소비자에게 혜택을 제공하여 전체적인 지각된 가치를 높여주는 부가가치 제공 판매촉진 방법이 그것이다. 그 동안의 판매촉진의 연구를 살펴보면 주로 가격할인 판매촉진을 중심으로 연구가 많이 이루어졌음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 최근 들어 부가가치 제공 판매촉진 방법에 관한 연구가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 부가가치 제공 판매촉진 활동의 효과 평가, 적절한 부가가치 판매촉진 방법, 구매의도에 관한 연구가 많이 이루어졌음을 확인할 수 있다. 즉, 판매촉진 자체에 초점을 맞춘 연구가 대부분이었다. 본 연구는 부가가치적 판매촉진이 판매촉진 제품의 가치평가에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 부가가치 판매촉진에 관심을 갖게 된 이유는 부가가치 판매촉진은 상황적인 요인에 의해 그 것이 혜택으로 지각될 수도 있지만 반드시 그렇지 않을 수도 있기 때문이다. 본 연구는 이러한 상황적 요인으로 사은품 제시 방법과 유통업체의 불확실성 수준이라는 2가지 요인이 판매촉진 제품의 가치평가에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 보기위해 실험과 준실험을 이용한 2가지 연구를 실시하였다. 먼저 실험은 2(사은품 제시방법; 통합제시 vs. 분리제시) *2(유통업체의 불확실성 수준(높음 vs. 낮음) *3(평가대상; 전체제품(본 제품+사은품), 본 제품, 사은품)로 집단 간 실험설계를 하였다. 그 결과 사은품을 통합 제시하는 경우가 분리 제시하는 경우에 비해 제품 가치 평가를 더 높게 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 유통업체 불확실성 수준이 높은 경우가 낮은 경우에 비해 전체 제품 가치 평가를 더 낮게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 두 요인의 상호작용을 살펴본 결과, 전체적으로 살펴보았을 때 상호작용은 유의미하게 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 보다 상세한 결과를 알아보기 위해 각각의 평가 대상별로 알아본 결과, 본 제품 평가에 있어서 유통업체 불확실성이 높은 경우에 통합 제시하는 경우가 분리제시 하는 경우에 비해 제품 가치를 더 낮게 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 준실험인 연구 2는 연구 1의 결과를 재확인하기 위한 것으로 실제 시장에서 행해지고 있는 제품과 최근에 이용한 유통업체에 대해 평가하게 하였다. 그 결과 연구 1에서처럼 유통업체 불확실성이 높은 경우 제품 가치 평가를 더 낮게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 연구 1에서 살펴보지 않았던 구매의도를 조사하였다. 부가가치 판매촉진 이전의 유보가격과 부가가치 판매촉진 자극물을 본 이후의 유보가격의 차이를 이용하여 2개의 집단으로 나눈 후, 구매의도를 비교한 결과 두 집단 간 구매의도에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 유통업체 불확실성이 높은 경우, 사은품을 제공하는 것이 소비자에게 단순히 혜택으로 지각되는 것이 아니라 상술지각이 활성화되어 오히려 제품 평가에 부정적인 영향을 미치게 되며 구매를 망설이게 한다고 볼 수 있다.
