The study investigates how marketing mix factors are mediated by health consciousness and service quality in creating fresh fruit buying decisions of customers in Vietnam. This study employs samples of customers in Vietnam via the survey questionnaire. The authors have used a total of 256 responses that acquired the valid criteria. The compound of data analysis comprises reliability test, validity test, exploratory factor analysis, group analysis and multiple regression analysis to structure the hypothesized model. Respectively, the structural equation model (SEM) is applied to conduct the multiple multivariate equations. By the assumption of causal-effect relationship between independent variables such as marketing mixed factors, and mediator as health consciousness and service quality, which potentially impact on purchase decision; the SEM method is deployed. The results reveal that consumers have paid no attention to the marketing mix factors, but they care much about service quality and health consciousness. Thus, health consciousness and service quality are effective mediators. These findings are new and contribute to the consumer behavior and retail marketing literature. The findings of this study can provide assistance to managers in the given field to understand more easily the consumer behavior about fresh fruits, then improve their own performance.

This study aims to analyze consumers' purchase decision-making process of buying avatar fashion items on the Metaverse platform. Drawing on the connection between the self-expression tendency of the MZ generation and that of avatars in the Metaverse, this study uses a qualitative research method to analyze how consumers express their self-image through the appearance of their avatars. Unlike previous studies on the clothing purchase decision-making process, this study shows that purchasing and consumption behavior involve the following six stages: recognizing desire, collecting information, evaluating alternatives, making purchases, evaluating the consumption, and post-purchase action-taking. In the first stage of the purchase decision-making process, consumers' desire arises with self-image expression and confirmation. In the second stage, consumers have a high tendency to shop in the best item category. In the alternative evaluation stage, consumers tend to seek items that match their highest standard while considering their personal preferences. In the fourth stage, when making actual purchases, unplanned purchase behavior often occurs along with an active practice of alternative evaluation. In the fifth stage, the evaluation of the consumption shows that consumers achieve satisfaction by applying a style to their avatars that they are unable to try in the real world. In the last stage, consumers often use their purchases to communicate their various styles with other online consumers. Therefore, we conclude that the online purchase decision-making process differs from the offline process as it is divided into six stages.

As a marketing vehicle to survive in intensified retailing competition, retailer brand development has been adopted by retailers in Korea. As evidence, the retailer brand share of a major retailer, Tesco Korea, has grown from 20% in 2007 to 22.8% in the first half of 2008. It means that retailers have provided more and more retailer brand foods for customers. With the growing accessibility to retailer brand foods, it would be expected that the number of retailer brand food claims will increase. Customers have increasingly exposed to a variety of marketing activities conducted by retailers. When buying the retailer brand foods, customers tend to be affected by marketing activities of retailers. Despite the fact that customers trust retailers and then, buy their brand foods, in case of food accidents caused by production process, customers have to seek compensation from a retailer brand supplier. Of course, a retailer tends to shift its responsibility to its suppliers. Accordingly, it is not easy for customers to solve food claims. The research, therefore, aims at exploring the relationship between the buying-decision processes of retailer brand customers and which side takes legal responsibility for food claims. To effectively achieve the research aim, the author adopted a quantitative and a qualitative research technique, in order to supplement the disadvantages of each method. Before field research, based on the developed research model, the author pre-tested questionnaire with 10 samples, amended, and handed out to 400 samples. Amongst them, 316 questionnaires are available. For a focus group interview, 9 participants were recruited, who are students, housewives, and full-time workers, aged from 20s to 40s. Through the focus group interview as well as the questionnaire results, it was found that most customers were influenced by a retailer or store image in a customer's mind, retailer reputation and promotional activities. Surprisingly, customers think that the name of a retailer is a more important factor than who produces retailer brand foods, even though many customers check a retailer brand supplier, when making a buying-decision. Rather than retailer brand suppliers, customers trust retailers. That is why they purchase retailer brands. Nevertheless, production-related food claims is not involved with retailers. In fact, it would be difficult for customers to distinguish whether a food claim is related to selling or manufacturing processes. Based on research results, from a customer perspective, the research suggests that the government should require retailers to take the whole responsibility for retailer brand food claims, preventing retailers from passing the buck to retailer brand suppliers. In case of food claims, in order for customers to easily get the compensation, it is necessary to reconsider the current system. If so, retailers have to fully get involved in retailer brand production stage, and further, the customer awareness of retailer brands will be improved than ever before. Retailers cannot help taking care of the whole processes of retailer brand development, because of responsibility. As a result, the process to seek compensation for food claims might become easier, and further, the protection of customer right might be improved.

본 과학기술 출판 산업은 전반적으로 판매 감소 추세를 보이는 것이 2000년대부터 확연히 하향 곡선을 긋고 있다. 원인은 순수과학이든 기술과학이든 간에 이공계 기피현상, 매스 미디어 발달, 인터넷 접속 빈도수가 잦아짐에 따라 활자 인쇄문화는 쇠퇴일로에 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 본 연구자는 과학기술 도서 중 자동차분야만큼은 필생의 목적사업으로서 이 연구를 하게 된 근원적 발상에서 출발하였다. 이를 위해 마케팅만이 기업의 생사여탈을 쥐고 있는 만큼 최종 소비자인 자동차 현장인들과 관련 학생 집단에서 전문서적 구매의사 결정시에 미치는 요인들은 무엇일까를 논제로 잡았다. 이것들은 전문출판사의 사활에 커다란 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료되기 때문이다. 본 연구는 이론적 측면에서 본 과학기술도서, 한국과 일본의 과학기술출판 현황 그리고 실제 전문도서 구매자들의 심리와 행동결과를 5단계 리커트 척도법으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과 자동차를 전공하게 된 동기와 비전에서는 '평소에 차를 좋아했기 때문'이며 이 분야가 앞으로 '비전' 있다고 나타났다. 문제인식단계에서는 '반드시 필요할 때'이고 정보탐색단계로는 '광고, 친구, 교수, 인터넷 등'에서 정보를 얻는다는 것이다. 대안평가단계에서도 '발행일자와 제목'을 중시 여기고 구매결정단계로는 '즉시 구매한다' 는 것이다. 또한 개인의 특성인 연령과 근무 경력에 따라 정보탐색이나 대안평가 그리고 구매 후 평가과정 등은 나이가 많을수록 신중한 선택을 한다고 나타났다.

This study compares and contrasts the consumer decision-making styles (CDMS) of South Korean and American Generation Y females. A total of 117 American female and 206 Korean female consumers completed self-report survey questionnaires to assess their consumer decision making styles. Exploratory principal components factor analysis using varimax rotation was used to categorize the items into an underlying set of American and Korean decision-making characteristics. Two-tailed independent t-tests were conducted to examine the differences between the two groups when items appeared to have common factors. Factor analysis identified five common factors between the two samples (i.e., enjoyment, shopping aversion, price consciousness, brand consciousness, and quality consciousness). The t-test results report significant differences in the items reported in each factor between American and Korean females. Some of the factors are more indicative of American female Generation Y consumers than Korean female Generation Y consumers. For example, the American female sample seemed to enjoy shopping and prefer brand names more than the female Korean sample. Koreans females seem to have a higher aversion to shopping than Americans; in addition, Koreans females seem to be more accepting of discount and outlet stores, will wait until the price is low before buying a product, and prefer sales when shopping. Based on the findings, the instrument identified varying CDMS between the two samples used. Previous studies using the Sproles and Kendall (1986) instrument experienced the same issue (Bakewell & Mitchell, 2004, 2006; Bauer et al., 2006; Durvasula et al., 1996; Fan & Xiao, 1998; Hanzaee & Aghasibeig, 2008; Mitchell & Walsh, 2004; Siu et al., 2001; Walsh et al., 2001). The results support the idea that no single instrument can be used to examine CDMS in different cultures. This suggests that each country has a CDMS with internal characteristics. Limitations and research for future studies are also discusse.

Up until the mid-90s, the housing market of Korea has been supplier-oriented with the constant shortage of housing supply. But today, with the surplus of supply over demand and ever-increasing competitiveness in the housing market, understanding consumers needs have become one of the keys to successful business. Consumers overall living standard have increased and they are now looking for better living environment. As a matter of course, there have been much studies focusing on the evaluation factors and consumers preferences of the living environment, somewhat overlooking the asset value of a residential property. Consumers see their house in terms of both a living space and an asset. Therefore, it is these two values altogether that influences the buying decision process of consumers. This study seeks to stress on the importance of the fact that it is both the living environment and asset value of a house that are considered in the buyers valuation of residential property. And the study suggests that influencing factors of housing attributes in the decision-making process of buyers be sub-categorized into two broad groups, value as a living space and value as an asset. This is to serve both the researcher in the academic field and marketers for better understanding of consumers needs and influencing factors of buyers valuation of housings vis-a-vis market.
