Purpose: The purpose of the research is to explore the role of social media in attracting international patients for cosmetic services in South Korea during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aims to conceptualize social media as an effective marketing tool for minimizing perceived risks associated with cosmetic services and increasing patient satisfaction. Methods: The study validated proposed hypotheses using the PROCESS macro for SPSS with overseas patients who received cosmetic treatment in private Korean plastic surgery clinics in Busan. Results: This study found that information delivery capability reduced perceived risk and contributed to patient satisfaction, while communication capability did not show any significant relationship with perceived risk and satisfaction. In addition, information delivery capability had a significant direct effect on patient satisfaction, but communication capability did not. Conclusion: It is expected that the outcomes of this study will broaden our understanding of the use of social media in reducing perceived risk and increasing satisfaction.

Purpose The study examines the impact of the level of anthropomorphism (both in appearance and behavior) of virtual humans on user liking. It investigates whether this relationship is mediated by social comparison experiences, with the moderated mediation effect of users' desire for self-improvement. Design/methodology/approach A between-groups experimental design was employed to examine the impact of different levels of appearance(low/mid/high) and behavior(low/high) anthropomorphism on user liking of virtual humans. The experiment was conducted in an online environment, and participants were randomly exposed to one of six stimuli, which were Instagram-like posts. Findings The results indicate that as virtual humans become more anthropomorphic, they have a positive impact on user liking. However, once the level of anthropomorphism in appearance reaches a certain point (mid vs high), there is no significant difference in user liking. Users who perceive virtual humans as highly anthropomorphic tend to engage in more social comparison experiences, which positively affects their liking for these virtual humans. Conversely, individuals with a high desire for self-improvement found that the positive effect of appearance anthropomorphism on liking through social comparison experiences was reduced. The study extends the application of social comparison theory by examining its impact on influencer marketing with virtual beings. It provides valuable insights for the formulation of influencer marketing strategies using virtual humans.

관여도가 높은 서비스 산업 분야에서 소비자가 지각하는 관계 품질과 서비스 실패의 복구 수준은 서비스 제공자의 이미지와 매출액에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인이다. 특히 성공적인 관계마케팅 전략의 실행과 서비스 실패에 대한 효과적인 복구는 맞춤형 서비스를 기대하는 고객들에게 더욱 많은 만족을 제공하며 기업과 소비자와의 관계를 강화시킨다. 본 연구는 이러한 선행연구들 기반으로, 서비스 실패의 심각성을 관계마케팅과 귀인이론의 관점에서 접근하여 서비스 복구 기대와 구전에 영향을 미치는 변수간의 인과관계를 규명하고자 진행되었다. 실증분석을 위하여 헤어살롱 이용 고객 360명을 대상으로 서비스 실패상황이라는 시나리오를 제시하여 설문조사를 실시한 후에, 불성실한 응답을 제외한 총 333부의 설문지를 최종 분석에 사용하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 이용하여 가설을 검정하였고, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 소비자가 서비스 실패의 심각성을 크게 지각할수록 관계 품질은 나빠진다는 가설이 규명되었다. 둘째, 소비자가 서비스 제공자와 좋은 관계를 유지할수록 서비스 실패의 원인을 일시적이고 통제 불가능한 것이라고 간주한다는 사실도 확인하였다. 셋째, 소비자가 서비스 실패 상황을 일시적인 것으로 지각할수록 서비스 복구에 대한 기대 수준도 높아질 것이라는 가설이 지지되었다. 넷째, 소비자는 서비스 제공자와 관계가 좋을수록 높은 서비스 복구 수준을 기대하며, 동시에 서비스 제공자에 대하여 긍정적인 구전을 할 가능성이 높아진다는 사실이 규명되었다. 본 연구의 이러한 결과는, 서비스 기업의 고객 지향적 비즈니스 모델 개발에 실무적인 도움을 줄 수 있으며 고관여 분야의 서비스 마케팅 연구를 위한 새로운 방향을 제시하였다는 점에서 학문적 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

우리나라에 유통업체상표(Private Label)가 도입된 지 10년이 넘었음에도 불구하고 유통업체 상표에 대한 대부분의 연구는 소비자 관점에서 진행되어져 왔다. 본 연구는 유통업체상표를 소비자 관점이 아닌 제조업체의 관점에서 바라본 연구로, 제조업체의 유통업체상표 생산에 영향을 미치는 내외부적 요인들에 대해서 자원기반이론과 S-C-P Paradigm의 통합적인 연구모형인 전략적 시장관리 관점을 제시하였다. 연구결과를 보면, 제조업체의 마케팅 역량이 높을수록 전체 매출에서 유통업체상표가 차지하는 매출이 적은 것으로 나타났으며, 마케팅 역량에는 제조업체 브랜드명성, 마케팅 투자, 제품포트폴리오 등이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제조업체의 마케팅 역량과 유통업체 상표 생산 간의 관계에는 제조업체의 경쟁강도가 조절효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 일반적으로 마케팅 역량이 높은(낮은) 기업일수록 전체 매출에서 유통업체상표가 차지하는 비율이 낮지만(높지만), 이러한 기업들 중 경쟁강도를 낮게 지각하는 제조업체의 전체매출 중 유통업체상표가 차지하는 매출은 경쟁강도를 높게 지각하는 제조업체들에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로, 본 연구는 유통업체상표 생산에 대한 이론 및 실무적인 시사점을 제시하고 있다.

갈등에 대한 다양한 연구가 이루어졌음에도 불구하고, 갈등해결을 통한 관계학습의 관점에서 조직적(interorganizational)으로 접근한 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 갈등해결 매커니즘을 통해, 유통경로 구성원들이 어떻게 관계학습을 구축할 수 있는지, 그리고 이것들이 경로관계의 성과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고 있다. 이와 같은 목적으로 국내 유통업체의 협력업체 영업담당자 490명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과, 갈등해결에 있어 협력행동은 관계학습의 세 가지 과정인 정보공유, 공동이해와 해석, 관계특유기억 모두를 강화한 반면, 회피행동은 정보공유만 약화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 공동이해와 해석, 관계특유기억은 유통경로의 성과인 효과성과 효율성을 강화시킨 반면, 정보공유는 성과에 영향을 미치지 않았다.

Purpose - This study aims to examine the Indian consumers'mall shopping patronage with the application of theory of planned behavior (TPB). The research intends to extend the TPB components (attitude, self-efficacy, subjective norms) with the addition of self-image and study their effect on Indian consumers' mall patronage intention. Research design, data and methodology - The research employed factor analysis to verify correct loading of items on corresponding factors and to confirm the applicability of constructs in the Indian context. The model was tested using stepwise regression analysis. Results -The results indicate a positive relationship between self-efficacy and intention to mall patronage. The findings show that self-image, attitude, self-efficacy, subjective norm significantly influence the mall patronage intention. Self-efficacy, which signifies self-competence and confidence in one's ability as a mall shopper indicates that as the self-efficacy increases Indian consumers' will eventually patronize malls. Conclusions - Self-image congruency plays a salient role in predicting mall-shopping patronage. The mall management should ensure that the mall marketing strategies incorporate it along with the other components of TPB to warrant decent footfall.

Plural governance system in which firms use vertical integration and market governance simultaneously are widely used across various marketing context. Typical examples of plural governance include franchise systems, in which firms own and operate some unit themselves while licensing the operation of some of their units to franchisees. Despite many scholars have attempted to explore the structure of plural governance over decades, there are few insights into its determinants. In this study, we examine the relationship between the proportion of outlets franchised and several franchisor's characteristics based on the perspectives of transaction cost analysis, resource scarcy theory and agency theory. Using franchisor data in Korean Franchise Disclosure Document over the 2006-2009 period, we test the effect of franchisor size, system growth rate, franchise fee, initial investment, and risk sharing on the proportion of outlets franchised. Except for the effect of system growth rate, the results of a series of multiple regression analysis supported the negative effects of franchisor size, franchise fee, initial investment and risk sharing on the proportion of outlets franchised.

Purpose - This study aims to identify the importance of subsidiary entrepreneurship as a key factor when MNE attempts to invest in challenging overseas markets. Through the simultaneous consideration of institutional theory and entrepreneurship theory, this study would like to examine how Korean subsidiaries in the Middle East improve their performance locally. Design/methodology - To reflect the characteristics of emerging markets, this study conducted a survey of Korean subsidiaries in the Middle East in cooperation with KOTRA and analyzed the hypotheses using a structural equation model based on 249 valid responses. Findings - The findings of this study are as follows. First, we found that institutional and business distance would positively affect subsidiaries' entrepreneurship. The result that subsidiaries' entrepreneurship is positively affected by institutional and business distance implies that attempts to close the difference between heterogeneous markets would increase subsidiaries' innovative proactiveness, such as R&D and creative marketing strategies. Second, we confirmed that the institutional and business distance positively mediate the subsidiaries' entrepreneurship growth, leading to high performance. Therefore, Korean subsidiaries are required and prepared to establish strategies to better understand institutional and business distances in advance and reduce the liability of foreignness by conducting customized research and training programs before sending Korean expatriates to local subsidiaries in the Middle East. Originality/value - This study contributed to institutional and entrepreneurship theory by proving the traditional relationship between institutional and business distance to subsidiaries' performance and the mediation of subsidiary entrepreneurship.
