The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of retailing types on consumers' omnichannel experience while purchasing fashion products. The omnichannel experience occurs when retailers provide seamless customer experience across the various touchpoints of retail channels. In this empirical study, retail types were categorized into single-brand stores and multi-brand stores, and the relationship among store loyalty, brand loyalty, and customer retention was observed by the research model. A survey was conducted on the global consumers who had experience in purchasing fashion products via the omnichannel using Amazon Mechanical Turk; as a result, 351 responses were analyzed. The mediating and moderating effects of loyalty constructs and retail types were analyzed using Process Macro 4.0. The results indicated that a seamless omnichannel experience affects customer retention by mediating store loyalty and brand loyalty; additionally, the dual mediating effect of store loyalty and brand loyalty was significant. The moderating effect according to retail type was identified, and the moderated mediation effect of store loyalty was validated. The results showed that multi-branded retailers' store loyalty had a stronger influence on customer retention than that of single-brand retailers and exhibited the relationship between store loyalty and brand loyalty as well as retail types (single vs multi) in a seamless omnichannel customer experience.

Many retailers have extended their extant online channels (i.e., websites) to mobile channels for communicating with and delivering their products or services to customers. However, retailers have trouble delivering a cohesive and seamless customer experience across the Web and mobile channels. To address this challenge, we propose a way for retailers to enrich customers' seamless experiences across channels by configuring mobile channels (functionality- and interactivity-oriented configurations) along with traditional Web channels. This study theoretically contributes a research framework that posits the role of mobile channels as an extension of existing websites. It also provides practical insight for effectively articulating an e-commerce strategy in cross-channel electronic commerce.

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.

Purpose: By integrating multiple separate online, offline distribution channels, omnichannel distribution has modernized and revolutionized the retailing sector. Omnichannel distribution supports firms by delivering seamless shopping experiences for customers throughout all touchpoints of the shopping journey. This paper aims at exploring the impact of channel integration quality on customer experience and patronage intentions in the omnichannel distribution context. Research design, data and methodology: An online survey was taken with 351 omnichannel experienced shoppers by utilizing the structured questionnaire. The partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and Smart PLS software were employed to analyze and test proposed hypotheses. Results: The findings reveal that channel integration quality dimensions including breadth of channel-service choice, transparency of channel-service configuration, content consistency, and process consistency, play crucial roles in the customer shopping experience. The perceived compatibility has been influenced by the integrated interactions in which content consistency and process consistency. The findings also demonstrate the positive and direct impact of perceived compatibility on customer experience, and both factors have substantial effects on customers' patronage intentions. Conclusions: This study sheds light on the literature on channel integration quality, omnichannel retailing experience and customer patronage. In addition, this study provides practical implications for omnichannel retailers in enhancing customer experience and patronage.

옴니 채널은 멀티 채널 경험을 유기적으로 연결하여 고객 경험을 제고하는 것을 의미한다. 최근 오프라인 매장에서 모바일 어플리케이션이나 키오스크를 통해 주문이나 결제하는 환경이 조성되고 있다. 이런 맥락에서 오프라인 채널과 모바일 채널의 서비스 경험이 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 또한 일상적으로 쓰거나 소비되는 서비스 환경에서 습관이 브랜드 충성도 미치는 영향도 살펴보았다. 오프라인 매장의 경험을 기능적, 인간적, 기계적 단서로 구분하여, 관련 요인들이 인지된 가치에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 더욱이, 고객들의 나이와 성별에 따른 선행 요인들이 브랜드 충성도에 미치는 영향 차이를 살펴보았다. 커피 전문점을 방문하면서 모바일 어플리케이션을 사용해본 365명의 고객들을 대상으로 연구 모형을 검증하였다. 연구 분석 결과, 오프라인 매장의 인지된 가치와 모바일 어플리케이션 충성도는 브랜드 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 또한 예상한 것과 같이 습관도 브랜드 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 옴니 채널 환경에서 고객들의 브랜드 충성도 형성 과정을 이해하고, 이를 바탕으로 효과적인 마케팅 및 운영 전략을 수립하는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Recently, Omni Channel Services has been considered the most innovative business strategy. Omni-Channel sees a variety of channels from all channels viewpoints, organically combining each channel to provide a seamless experience for consumers. In other words, Omni-Channel is not simply a systematic integration of channels, but a means of delivering consistent services to consumers in all processes through a strategy to an organic connection. The aim of this study is to provide a comprehensive insight into the decision factors affecting the adoption of Omni-channel. For this purpose, an empirical analysis is conducted on the course of acceptanceof the Omni-channel service based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Task-technology fit (TTF), an effective model frequently selected to describe the acceptance of service in the introduction phase of new information technology. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that the task characteristics and the technical characteristics had a positive effect on the task-technology fit, and the task-technology fit had a positive effect on the performance expectancy. In addition, task-technology fit, performance expectancy, and social influence have a positive effect on the intention to use the Omni-Channel. This study is intended to deliver an experimental meaning by proposing a strategical measure to understand the behaviorsand uses of consumers in the Omni-channel service environment and increase the customer satisfaction for the system.

ISMP는 정보시스템 구축 사업 제안요청서의 요구사항을 명확하게 작성하는 활동이다. 목표시스템 개념을 다소 피상적으로 기술하는 기존 제안요청서 작성 방식과는 달리, 관련 업무 및 정보기술 현황을 체계적으로 파악하고, 이용자 요구사항을 상세 분석하며, 제안요청서에 목표시스템의 기능 및 요건을 구체적으로 정의한다. 이처럼 제안요청서 명확성을 높임으로써 해당 사업의 규모 및 복잡도를 정확하게 산출할 수 있고, 여러 제안업체가 제시한 제안서를 공정하게 평가할 수 있다. 무엇보다 이 분야의 고질적 난제로 제기되는 문제, 즉, 갑과 을 사이의 오해와 갈등, 요구사항의 빈번한 변경, SW 개발자들의 과도한 업무 부담 등을 해결할 수 있다. 널리 보급된다면 장기적으로 SW 개발 생산성 및 IT 서비스 산업의 경쟁력 향상에 기여할 수 있다. 이 연구는 최초로 ISMP를 도입한 2개 시범사업을 대상으로 그 수행 내용, 수행 성과, 문제점 및 성공요인을 분석한 사례 연구이다. 실제 현장의 ISMP 수행 절차를 확인하고, 제안요청서의 요구사항을 어떻게 기술하는지를 살펴보았다. ISMP 제안요청서에 대한 만족도는 기존 제안요청서 방식에 비하여 발주기관과 수주업체에서 모두 높게 나타났다. ISMP에 대한 이해 및 수행 경험 부족으로 인하여 제안요청서 작성의 어려움, 업무 증가 부담 등과 같은 문제점도 발생하였지만, 전반적으로 목표시스템 범위 정립, 현업부서와 개발부서간 정보 공유 및 협력 증진, 발주기관과 수주업체 사이의 의사소통 원활, 요구사항 변경 감소 등 긍정적 효과가 발생하였다. 실무담당자 대상 실행연구(action research) 방식의 심층 인터뷰를 수행한 결과, ISMP 수행 성공요인으로서 ISMP 필요성에 대한 사전공감대 형성, CEO와 CIO의 지원에 의한 ISMP 수행 자원 확보, 요구사항 상세화 수준의 일관성있는 적용 등 3개 요인을 도출하였다. 이 사례연구 결과는 ISMP 도입을 계획하고 있는 발주기관과 IT서비스 업체에게 유용한 현장정보를 제공하며, IT서비스 경쟁력 분야 연구자들에게는 향후 연구방향에 대한 의미 있는 시사점을 제시할 것이다.
