There is a big attention to digital convergence products(DCP) nowadays. However, consumers' response on the DCP is not always positive. These products may not match consumers' value and consumers may not know how to use them, because the DCP is generally innovative products. DCP marketers should learn that why consumers do not purchase them. Thus, this paper examines and identifies the consumers' purchase-avoiding psychological factors and antecedents on DCP. In detail, It is empirically checked that how the relationship between purchase-preventing factors such as complexity, incongruence, uncertainty, and unreasonability and purchase-avoiding psychological factors such as dissonance, innovation resistence, and perceived loss is. Also, these purchase-avoiding psychological factors' influence on the purchase-intention is empirically checked. As results, complexity and incongruence have an effect on the innovation resistence significantly. Uncertainty and unreasonability influence perceived loss variable. Unreasonability also influences consumers' cognitive dissonance variable. Additionally, cognitive dissonance have an influence on innovation resistence positively, and such innovation resistence influence consumer's purchase-intention negatively. Therefore, marketers should think twice about the roles of these purchase-preventing factors before launching.

This study analyzed the effects that digital experience factors influence on purchase intention and the purchase. The study targeted an online shopping mall with a strong digital experience value among industries. The research model was derived by adding variables to independent and mediating variables according to the industry context of online shopping which is based on the theoretical background and previous studies. Product variety, price efficiency, convenience and conversation were used by terms of digital marketing mix as independent variables. Personalization has been very important factor in online shopping malls, and therefore added as a independent variable. Flow has been added as a mediating variable. Purchase and purchase intention has been used as dependent variables. For empirical testing of established research models and generalization of research results, research was conducted on online shopping malls where digital experiences are important. To do this, a survey was conducted for existing users of online shopping malls. In hypothesis testing, the hypothesis was established that product diversity, price efficiency, convenience, conversation and personalization influenced the intention to purchase online shopping. In particular, the product diversity and conversation variable were tested as the most influential factors on purchase intention. For price efficiency and personalization there were no statistically significant effect. Flow has been shown to be a partial mediator between Product variety and purchase intention in online shopping. In particular, in the case of personalization, it was tested to have a significant influence on purchase intention only when there was a flow experience called pleasure and immersion. This is because the flow experience of pleasure and immersion has played a full mediating role and significantly has affected the purchase intention, because the consumers themselves have to carry out the overall purchase journey without human help due to the nature of online. In the digital experience economy, since consumers are mostly digital consumers, where communication and sharing are the basics, they have been conducting digital word-of-mouth communication and sharing naturally before purchasing. Based on these results, theoretical and practical implications were suggested.

A sequence refers to data in which the order exists on the two items, and purchase transaction data in which the products purchased by one customer are listed is one of the representative sequence data. In general, all goods have a product taxonomy, such as category/ sub-category/ sub-sub category, and if they are similar to each other, they are classified into the same category according to their characteristics. Therefore, in this paper, we not only consider the purchase order of products to compare two purchase transaction sequences, but also calculate their similarity by giving a higher score if they are in the same category in spite of their difference. Especially, in order to choose the best similarity measure that directly affects the calculation performance of the purchase transaction sequences, we have compared the performance of three representative similarity measures, the Levenshtein distance, dynamic time warping distance, and the Needleman-Wunsch similarity. We have extended the existing methods to take into account the product taxonomy. For conventional similarity measures, the comparison of goods in two sequences is calculated by simply assigning a value of 0 or 1 according to whether or not the product is matched. However, the proposed method is subdivided to have a value between 0 and 1 using the product taxonomy tree to give a different degree of relevance between the two products, even if they are different products. Through experiments, we have confirmed that the proposed method was measured the similarity more accurately than the previous method. Furthermore, we have confirmed that dynamic time warping distance was the most suitable measure because it considered the degree of association of the product in the sequence and showed good performance for two sequences with different lengths.
