The limited literature on Open Source Software (OSS) customers' adoption does not provide explanations on how OSS services are adopted by customers in the presence of functionally superior commercially licensed software (CLS). This paper aims to uncover the process that shapes customer satisfaction of OSS services in comparison to CLS. Expectation Disconfirmation Theory (EDT) is adapted and integrated with pre implementation factor model that influences software customers' expectations including cost, reputation, and experience. The constructed research model is empirically validated using a field survey of OSS and CLS database management system (DBMS) customers in Korea. The theoretical contribution of the paper lies on the application of EDT to explain the wide adoption of OSS DBMS services in the presence of functionally superior CLS DBMSs. Furthermore, this paper integrates EDT with pre-implementation factors for customers' expectations, which has been considered a limitation of the theory. Among the practical contributions, this study draws attention to the substantive differences between OSS and CLS customers' expectations. Additionally, it offers initial explanations for the differences in customer behavior for OSS and CLS and the way that customers' expectations and actual performance are mingled together to form customer satisfaction.

본 연구의 분석 결과 법률 서비스를 경험한 집단과 경험하지 않은 집단 모두 변호사 사무실 서비스에 대한 기대치는 높으나 두 집단 모두 변호사 사무실 서비스는 낮은 것이라고 경험 또는 예상하고 있다. 이는 한국의 변호사 업무의 과독점성으로 인하여 서비스 품질 수준이 낮아 왔다는 것을 반영하는 것 같다. 법률서비스 고객들은 고객들의 편에 서서 자상하게 이해 해주면서 법률서비스를 수행하면 만족이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 변호사 사무실의 유형적인 요소인 근로자의 단정함과 교통이 편리한 위치등도 고객만족에 영향을 주는 것으로 분석결과는 보여주고 있다.

As online shopping malls have emerged as a substantial shopping channel, they have used various sales promotion strategies to acquire new customers. Most of these strategies have been applied by offline malls for years. One, loss-leader pricing, is a type of promotional pricing in which stores sell well known products below their marginal cost, in order to attract customers and induce them to purchase more goods through impulse buying. This strategy is based on the expectation that customers will factor transaction costs into their purchasing decisions. However, its application to online malls fails to recognize that transaction costs are lower online, and that customers will behave differently as a result. Our study predicts that loss-leader pricing will not work online because online malls entail lower searching and moving costs than offline malls The study examines the effectiveness of loss-leader pricing with empirical data from a survey as well as log data from a Korean online shopping mall. The results show that while loss-leader pricing does attract customers to online shopping malls, it encourages cherry-picking rather than impulse purchases of regular-price goods.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the significant impacts of expectations, performance, complaints, and fairness that affect consumer satisfaction. The methodology involves reviewing and referencing relevant literature carefully, then proposing a model for customer satisfaction. This study is empirically based on a survey with 50 respondents who work in the field of import and export in the region stretching from the north to the south of Vietnam. The sampling method used in this study is the in-depth interview method. The results show that: (1) expectation has a specific impact on customer satisfaction, (2) performance has a positive impact on customer satisfaction, and (3) complaint which is an intermediary factor between expectation, performance, and fairness has an impact on satisfaction, (4) fairness has a positive effect on satisfaction, in addition, fairness is an extremely important feature when customers choose an import-export service. Research implies that increasing expectations, performance, and fairness results in an improved customer experience and satisfaction when they use the service. It is suggested that the complaint factor continue to be studied and looked into because it still has some effect on satisfaction and is an intermediate variable that changes how the other factors relate to each other.

본 연구의 목적은 에어비앤비 서비스의 주요한 선택속성이 고객만족에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지와 결혼 여부에 따른 조절효과를 살펴보는 것이다. 본 연구는 수도권에 있는 에어비앤비 서비스 이용 경험이 있는 고객을 연구대상으로 실시하였다. 150명의 설문결과를 분석에 적용하였으며, 구조방정식 모형 분석과 가설검증을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 에어비앤비 선택속성인 가격, 온라인 리뷰, 독특한 경험기대가 고객만족에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 결혼 여부는 가격과 독특한 경험기대와 고객만족 사이에서 조절역할을 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 고객만족에 미치는 요인들이 결혼 여부에 따라 다르게 나타나는 점을 확인할 수 있었다. 미혼 소비자들은 가격이 중요한 고려요인이지만, 기혼 소비자들은 가격적 요인이 고객만족에 크게 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 고려할 때 단순히 성별만을 고려하여 마케팅 및 프로모션을 진행하는 것이 아니라 결혼 여부에 따라 차별화 된 서비스를 제공하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있다.
