Nowadays, personal media is a new tool for communication as digital cameras and mobile phones are developing rapidly. We are concerned over Cyworld users who could have different personal characteristics which will influence on buying patterns in on line shopping behaviors. The purpose of this research was to observe fashion attitudes and purchase behavior of Cyworld mini homepage users, for establishing marketing strategies by understanding consumers. For this study, one line survey was used for 500 male and female subjects who are 20 to 40 years old. Only reliable 441 questionnaires were used for analysis. The SPSS program was used for frequency, K-means cluster, t test, and chi-square test. A total of 441 respondents were clustered on the basis of 8 item self-disclosure scale, using the K-means procedures. The results indicated that respondents were clustered into two segments; 267 respondents(active attitude towards self-disclosure) and 164 ones(not active). We examined fashion attitudes in mini home page and buying behavior by self-disclosed variable. Those who are involved actively in self expression and self-disclosure considered more fashion style and trend. The major motivates of web surfing was finding a good design, and good price. High self-disclosure group tends to search many shopping mall for right design and low self disclosure group tends to search them for the right price. High self-disclosure group tend to shop the fashion products more, while low self disclosure group tend to purchase books more through the internet. We realized that active group in self-disclosure purchased their clothing accidently when they visit Cyworld.

The types of bedroom was significantly associated with age variables. Women in 20's to 30's were using the mixture of Ondol and bed(chimdaie), while 40's to 50's women were using bed for all their rooms. The usage of filling material for the comforter(ibul) was significantly associated with the age group. 20's to 30's age group preferred synthetic fibers for the filling, while 40 to 50's women preferred cotton fibers. Generally, the most of people used quilted comforter and they used cotton material as filling materials of comforters. As to purchase behavior, the most frequent place of purchase was specialty store of bedding products, and the highest percentage of motivation for purchase was "deformation after the use/throwing away". Purchase motivation for bedding was related with the age variable and the clusters based on the knowledge of bedding materials. We analysed the comparison test purchase criteria and satisfaction. In all attributes except brand image, people evaluated lower in satisfaction after purchase than in criteria before purchase.

본 연구에서는 장애인기업이 공공조달시장 진입을 통해 성장할 수 있는 기반 마련하고 장애인기업의 판로지원을 위해 공공기관의 장애인기업 생산물품 구매 활성화 방안 모색하여 공공기관의 장애인기업 생산품 구매촉진 방안 및 정책 제언을 제시하는 것을 그 목표로 하고 있다.

본 연구에서는 기존의 전형성에서 긍정/부정이라는 정서적 방향성이 분명하게 이탈된 디자인을 활용한 제품에 대한 선호도와 구매의사에 성격이 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보았다. 기존의 긍정적 전형성에서 부정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품과 기존의 부정적 전형성에서 긍정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품에 대한 참가자들의 선호도와 구매의사가 측정되었으며 여기에 미치는 개인 특성으로 외향성, 신경증, 심미적 성향이 측정되었다. 연구 결과, 참가자들은 부정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품보다 긍정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품을 훨씬 더 선호하였고 구매의사도 더 높았다. 부정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품의 선호도에는 신경증이 유의미한 영향을 미쳐 신경증이 높을수록 부정이탈 디자인 제품을 더 선호하였다. 또한 부정이탈 디자인 제품의 구매의사에 대해서는 선호도와 외향성의 상호작용 효과가 나타났는데, 즉 내향적인 사람일수록 높은 선호도가 실제 구매의사로 이어질 가능성이 유의미하게 높았다. 반면 긍정이탈 디자인 제품에 대해서는 성격의 효과가 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과는 부정적인 정서를 유발하는 전형성 이탈 디자인 제품에 있어서는 개인의 성격적 특성이 선호도 및 구매의사에 중요한 역할을 함을 보여준다.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether foodservice brand language localization affects consumer attitudes in terms of similar brand image recognition with an original brand. Many global foodservice companies have tried to modify their own brand identity according to local situations in order to attract more consumers. According to this study's results, consumers who similarly recognized both the original brand image and localization brand image tended to have greater purchase intention than those who did not recognize them similarly. In addition, when the original brand identity was changed to the local language, consumers more similarly conceived the original brand image and localization. And for local store marketing, foodservice companies should have a thorough marketing research plan since there can be difference results according to brand name recognition gaps or demographic characteristics. Original brand image similarity recognition by consumers affected their attitudes. In other words, the group that similarly recognized both the original brand company image and the localization brand company image tended to have greater purchase intention. Because brand language plays an important role in consumer attitudes with respect to recognizing a brand and distinguishing another brand, this study suggests that franchise foodservice companies have a local store marketing plan.

본 연구에서는 특정 목적을 가진 디지털 카메라 제품들의 특성들을 파악하여 디자인 개발시 소비자 니즈를 분석하고 제품을 이해하는 기초 자료의 확보이며, 디자이너가 제품을 보다 쉽게 이해하고 디자인 개발 시 컨셉 설정에 도움이 되고자함이다. 본 연구를 위하여 2000년부터 현재까지 출시된 제품을 수집하여 동질성 분석을 실시하여 대표제품을 선정하여 제품에서 느껴지는 형용사와 선호도를 설문을 통해 추출하였다. 설문을 토대로 종속변수와 선호도에 대한 회기분석과 종속변수와 구매도에 대한 회기 분석을 통해 어떠한 요소들이 소비자가 선호하는 이미지인지를 기초 설문과 실험 대상 이미지 분석을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 디지털 카메라를 디자인 할 때에는 편리한, 감각적인, 기능적인, 품위 있는 의 요소를 고려하여야 한다. 또한 전체적인 형태에서는 그립을 강조한 형태와 그립이 있고 액정이 크고 칼라는 어둡고 매뉴얼 버튼이 있는 디지털 카메라를 선호하는 것으로 분석되었다.

현재 주목받고 있는 실버 소비자의 등산복 구매 실태와 만족도를 알아보고 노인 연령대에 따른 차이를 분석하였다. 본 연구 대상의 표집은 북한산에서 등산을 하고 계시는 노인 100에 대하여 65세를 기준으로 뉴실버와 실버 소비자로 노인소비자를 구분하였다. 자가응답과 대필방식을 병행하여 설문지를 작성하였으며 수집된 데이터는 SPSS 12.0을 이용하여 t Test와 카이검증을 통하여 분석하였다. 뉴실버 소비자들은 실버소비자보다 스포츠웨어를 자주 구입하였으며 구매비용도 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 브랜드 인지도도 높았으며 구매장소는 스포츠웨어 전문매장을 선호하였다. 구매기준과 불만족 요인도 연령대에 따라 차이가 있었다. 즉 뉴실버 소비자에게는 등산복의 품질, 디자인/색에 대한 불만족이 높은 반면에, 실버 소비자에게는 품질, 착용감/쾌적감이 불만족이 높았다.
