본 연구는 중국 내수시장에서 제품의 브랜드와 제조국에 따른 제품형태별로 중국 소비자들의 제품품질 지각에 어떠한 차이가 나타나며, 이들 두 요인에 의해 소비자들의 제품품질 지각이 실제 영향을 받고 있는지를 살펴보고, 중국 내수시장에서 제품형태별 중국 소비자들의 구매의사결정을 추정해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 중국 상해에 거주하는 성인 소비자들을 대상으로 C-TV 제품의 구매의사결정에 관한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 브랜드와 제조국을 달리하는 7개의 C-TV 제품형태별로 중국 소비자들의 제품품질 지각에 차이가 있으며, 브랜드와 제조국이 중국 소비자들의 제품품질 지각에 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 중국 소비자들의 구매의사결정 모형의 추정 결과 단일 국적 제품의 경우에는 대체로 브랜드 선호도에 의해, 그리고 이중 국적 제품의 경우에는 주관적 규범에 의해 구매의도가 보다 큰 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

One of the problems facing international companies is the question of whether to use standardized international advertising or to adapt advertising messages in each country. This paper provides empirical evidence for whether or not to be able to use standardized advertising based on a comparison of evaluative criteria for automobiles and toothpaste among American, Japanese, and Korean consumers. There appears to be a similar pattern among respondents of the three countries in rank of attribute importance. Especially, the result of toothpaste shows an almost identical pattern. The findings do support the idea that international advertising can be standardized due to the similarities among world-wide consumers.

This study rigorously investigates the multi-faceted factors influencing consumer purchasing behavior in the emerging retail landscape context and posits a suite of optimization strategies. The paper begins by delineating the current trajectory of the new retail industry, underscoring the pivotal role that big data and artificial intelligence play in the transformative processes of enterprises. The study then explores the salient impact of consumer interaction and brand sentiment on purchasing decisions. Consumers are transitioning from focusing solely on material gratification to a heightened emphasis on psychological and emotional fulfillment, particularly in the information age. Hence, retail businesses should initiate diversified interaction strategies rooted in authentic consumer needs and efficacious brand anthropomorphism to bolster emotional engagement and allure a broader consumer base. Conclusively, the paper offers targeted strategies designed to invigorate consumer purchasing behavior, serving as a substantive guide for optimizing marketing and sales tactics in the novel retail milieu.

As environmental concerns continue to grow, green supply chain management (GSCM) is attracting attention as an element of competitive advantage for companies. This study examined internal GSCM practices to show how they influenced the end-point of the supply chain from the perspective of the end-consumer. It identified the effects of environmental concerns on consumer purchasing behavior mediated by the company image of internal GSCM practices. Data were collected through an email survey of Korean consumers. Reliability and validity were verified using SPSS 18.0. Cronbach’s alpha, and confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that environmental concerns had a positive impact on such practices, and the image of internal GSCM practices was found to have a significantly positive effect on consumer purchasing behavior. Companies will have to actively reflect environmental factors in their operational activities, and GSCM implementation will become a necessity. A positive image of internal environmental management and eco-design, which are key elements of internal GSCM practices, strengthened the company’s eco-friendly image and ultimately affected consumer purchasing behavior. This suggests that it is important for companies to evaluate their environmental attitude and make eco-friendly products from a consumer’s perspective, making it a differentiation strategy for a company in building an eco-friendly corporate image.

Purpose - Previous studies on the influence of appeal types of advertising messages on pro-social behavior have shown inconsistent results. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the appeal type of advertising affects consumer’s prosocial behavior. In particular, the authors investigated whether the social exclusion moderates the relationship between the appeal type of advertising and prosocial behavior. Research design, data and Methodology - To verify the hypothesis, two experimental study were conducted. The experimental study was 2(appeal type : self-benefit vs. other-benefit) by 2(social exclusion : being ignored vs. being rejected) between-subject design. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four conditions. The experiment was conducted using a computer. First, the participants was exposed to the advertising image used in the social campaign, and then responded to questions about social behavior. The participants completed the experiment after further responding to the item for manipulation check and demographic measure. The experiment took about 10 minutes in total. Results - In Study 1, a global warming campaign with participation intention variable, other-benefit ads rather than self-benefit ads drive consumers who feel socially rejected to be more willing and likely to participate, but consumers who feel socially ignored are more likely to participate the campaign in self-benefit ad than other-benefit ad. Study 2 replicates the findings, a child poverty relief campaign with an amount-to-donate variable: consumers who feel explicitly rejected allocate more dollars to the charity in response to other-benefit rather than self-benefit ads, but consumers who being ignored are willing to donate more money. Conclusion - This study has theoretical contribution in that it expands existing theories by explaining the existing inconsistent results of the message appeal influence on pro-social behavior through new control variables. In addition, the results have important managerial implications, suggesting marketers should tailor their marketing message to match the consumer situation.

Purpose – The purpose of this research is to identify how idiocentric consumers and allocentric consumers respond to retail store environments and how such responses affect their consumer behaviors in a sustainable consumption setting. Method – Data were collected from 422 U.S. adult consumers via a web-based survey. Two store settings were created, perceptually related (eco-friendly clothing displayed with greenery)or perceptually-unrelated (eco-friendly clothing displayed without greenery), and consumers were asked to take the survey based on the given store setting. Results – Allocentric consumers perceived a product and its display environment were related whereas idiocentric consumers perceived the two were unrelated. Also, the former exhibited higher purchase intentions when the product and store environment were related (eco-friendly clothing displayed with greenery), but the latter did when the two were unrelated (eco-friendly clothing displayed without greenery). Conclusions – This research suggests that retailers should consider consumer self-concept at personal-level when implementing marketing strategies. This research also demonstrates that consumers are influenced by store environment in relation to their self-concept and that self-concept can be temporarily modified by various stimuli such as visual displays.

Purpose This – paper examines Kazakh women’s spending patterns and buying behavior. Research design, data, and methodology – After thoroughly reviewing the related literature on consumer behavior in general, and female consumer behavior in particular, both questionnaires and in-depth personal interviews were used to collect data from 400 Kazakh women consumers equally chosen from the age groups 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, and above 50. Results – A stratified and convenient sample was employed, and the selected five hypotheses were proved using the Karl Pearson Coefficient of Correlation.

Twenty-five and 35 percent of the 40-50 and 50 and above age group, respectively, take decisions based on product quality, whereas this percentage is at its mite in the below 40 age group. Conclusions – The buying behavior of Kazakh women consumers is revealed; the results proffer useful background information to formulate marketing strategies.

The purpose of this study is to examine green consumer behavior (green product purchasing behavior and green consumption life) affected by demographical characteristics, and cognition degree of green life (cognition of a green indicator, a green life catalyst system, and environmental problems). It's also to promote strategy and suggest effective activation plans for the vitalization of green consumer behavior. To carry out the task, verification of credibility, multiple regression analysis, two-step cluster analysis, and multinomial logistic analysis were used. The results are as follows: First, the factors that effect green product purchasing behavior were gender, age, cognitive of a green indicator, carbon points system, electricity peak hour system, and seriousness of environmental damage due to lifestyle. Second, the factors that effect green lifestyle were gender, age, carbon grade indicator system, cognition of a green system, and the seriousness of environmental damage due to lifestyle. Third, the comparative group characteristic analysis showed low rates for careless green consumer behavior groups compared to the passive green consumer behavior groups in cognition of a green indicator, green system, and environmental problems. For active green consumer behavior groups, the analysis showed high rates in cognition of carbon grades, eco-labeling, electricity peak hour system, and environmental damage due to lifestyle. In order to encourage green consumer behavior, it's evident that cognition of a green indicator, a green life catalyst system, and environmental problems need to be improved through strategic education and continuous encouragement.
