This study was conducted to identify the relationship among various service quality clues, brand trust, brand distinctiveness and revisit intention focusing on fast-food restaurant consumers. Using online questionnaires tool in South Korea, a total of 450 questionnaires were distributed and 390 participants were used for further statistical analysis through SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0 for Windows. Four service quality factors (menu, interior, exterior, staff) were extracted from twelve questions. According to the result of this study, several service quality factors of fast-food restaurants' have positive effects on brand trust and distinctiveness. Specifically, staff and menu and exterior were significant predictors of brand trust, and staff and menu of fast-food were critical antecedents of brand distinctiveness. In addition, the brand trust has positive influence on brand distinctiveness as well as revisit intention. Although there are many studies which proved the relationships among various selection attributes and other outcome variables such as brand loyalty or image, little research explained the relationships among service quality factors of fast-food restaurants, brand trust, brand distinctiveness, and revisit intention. Therefore, present study will contribute to provide significant results and some practical implications in both the fast-food restaurant industry and academic research.

This study was conducted to examine the relationships among various visible clues and non-visible clues as perceived by franchise family restaurant consumers. Using online survey tool in South Korea, total 450 survey was distributed and 400 participants were used for further statistical analysing with SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 20.0. Twelve items were categorized into four visible factors (food, interior, exterior, employee). The result shows that food and employee have positive effects on brand reputation and distinctiveness, and the interior and employee were critical antecedents for brand distinctiveness. In addition, the brand reputation and brand distinctiveness have positive influence on experiential value as well as revisit intention. Although there were many studies which demonstrated the relationships among various quality clues and other outcome variables, such as brand image, loyalty, little research explained the relationships among visible elements of franchise family restaurants, brand reputation, brand distinctiveness, and revisit intention. The present study will provide theoretical and practical implications for both academia and the franchise family restaurant industry. (what is the meaning of the red part?)

Various non-face-to-face services are being activated due to the influence of the Corona 19 virus around the world. However, unlike the rapid development of delivery services, social awareness of delivery services is causing many problems. Therefore, in this study, we analyze the quality attributes of delivery services from the consumer's point of view, and based on the results, we try to derive a direction for service improvement. In this study, quality factors were established through interviews and surveys with actual consumers, and quality attributes were classified through the Kano model and Timko's customer satisfaction coefficient. "Attractive" is ('Ease of ordering, Accurate delivery to the designated place'), "One Dimensional" is ('Variety of payment methods, Accurate delivery on time, Accurate delivery of ordered food, Degree of non-deformation of packaging conditions, etc., Convenience of use time'), "Must be" is ('Kindness of the delivery person'), "Reverse" is ('provision of services, service response to order discrepancies'). This study has academic significance in that it compensated for the disadvantage of not being able to interpret the mathematical meaning of the Kano model with Teamco's customer satisfaction coefficient. It also has practical implications in that it provides an indirect clue to future improvement directions.

Although education using teaching tools is important to both students and teachers, the quality problem of distributed teaching tools is constantly being raised. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the teaching tools by classifying them into three quality factors, and to confirm the satisfaction and repurchase intentions of elementary school teachers. This study was conducted by dividing the first CIT survey and the second survey targeting incumbent elementary school teachers, and the PLS statistical program was used as an analysis tool. Through empirical analysis, it was analyzed that product quality, educational quality, and service quality had a positive (+) effect on teacher satisfaction, and that teacher satisfaction had a positive (+) effect on repurchase intention. Through this, it gives teachers insight into what they should focus on when purchasing or evaluating teaching tools and how to use them usefully for education, and for researchers, it provides an important clue to research for product quality improvement, and for companies that produce and distribute teaching tools, it gives to effective guidelines for the development of new products and contents. In the future, in addition to the relationship between the teaching tools and teachers, additional research on the organic relationship between the teaching tools and various objects is needed, and this is suggested as a future study.

Situation awareness services which increasingly expand their influence in everyday life can be classified into location-based service and social network service. Their quality of service (QoS) can be differed based on the location accuracy of smart phones and accuracy of directional recognition technology. This study was conducted to analyze GPS, digital compass, radio communication, and geospatial web information which can provide a clue in using the situation aware services based on lab experiments and surveys. According to the result of lab experiment on accuracy of determining location / direction with smart phones, owing to inherent lack of indoor accuracy in determining position and direction, as well as errors in spatial data used as platform, it was found that devices were not provided with sufficiently accurate data when using the situation aware services indoors compared to outdoors. To enhance accuracy of determining indoor positions, there are several methods including location metering based on Wi-Fi, which had several problems compared with GPS used in outdoor environment. Thus, it was determined that more study would be necessary to solve these issues.

Purpose: This study aimed to derive clues for the franchise industry to overcome difficulties such as various legal regulations and social responsibility demands and to continuously develop by analyzing the research trends related to franchises published in Korea. Research design, data and methodology: As a result of searching for 'franchise' in ScienceON, abstracts were collected from papers published in domestic academic journals from 1994 to June 2021. Keywords were extracted from the abstracts of 1,110 valid papers, and after preprocessing, keyword analysis, TF-IDF analysis, and topic modeling using LDA algorithm, along with trend analysis of the top 20 words in TF-IDF by year group was carried out using the R-package. Results: As a result of keyword analysis, it was found that businesses and brands were the subjects of research related to franchises, and interest in service and satisfaction was considerable, and food and coffee were prominently studied as industries. As a result of TF-IDF calculation, it was found that brand, satisfaction, franchisor, and coffee were ranked at the top. As a result of LDA-based topic modeling, a total of 12 topics including "growth strategy" were derived and visualized with LDAvis. On the other hand, the areas of Topic 1 (growth strategy) and Topic 9 (organizational culture), Topic 4 (consumption experience) and Topic 6 (contribution and loyalty), Topic 7 (brand image) and Topic 10 (commercial area) overlap significantly. Finally, the trend analysis results for the top 20 keywords with high TF-IDF showed that 10 keywords such as quality, brand, food, and trust would be more utilized overall. Conclusions: Through the results of this study, the direction of interest in the franchise industry was confirmed, and it was found that it was necessary to find a clue for continuous growth through research in more diverse fields. And it was also considered an important finding to suggest a technique that can supplement the problems of topic trend analysis. Therefore, the results of this study show that researchers will gain significant insights from the perspectives related to the selection of research topics, and practitioners from the perspectives related to future franchise changes.
