This study analyzed consumers’ recognition and demand for probiotic products and dietary and living habits according to their probiotics ingestion experience to provide information on the development of probiotic products and marketing strategies in the health functional food-related industry. A total of 280 consumers living in Seoul, Incheon and Kyeonggi-do area were enrolled in this study. The consumers expected mostly intestinal health (80.4%) after ingesting probiotics. The appropriate price level for purchasing probiotics was between 20,000-50,000 won (58.2%), preferring a price range of 50,000 won or less (77.1%). There was a significant difference in the dietary habits depending on the experience of probiotics ingestion, but there was no difference in the living habit. Consumers took Vitamin C, red Ginseng and Ginseng the most instead of probiotics as health functional foods. Based on the results, a marketing strategy could be established to meet the consumer’s needs, such as focusing on the effects of probiotics, building up various price policies and the development of new products mixing with other commonly consumed health supplements.

본 연구는 2017년 국내에서 유통되는 유산균을 함유한 건강기능식품과 가공식품 120건에 대하여 프로바이오틱스 함량, pH와 산도를 분석하였다. 또한, 건강기능식품 중 프로바이오틱스 5개 제품에 대한 보존방법에 따른 변화를 조사하였다. 프로바이오틱스 제품 85건 중 2건이 표시량 이하였고, 가공식품 35건은 모두 적합이었다. 프로바이오틱스 제품의 프로바이오틱스수, pH, 산도 평균은 각각 1.2 × 1010 CFU/g (표시량: 3.4 × 109 CFU/g), 5.35, 1.29%이었으며, 가공식품 중 유산균 함유량 표시 식품 17건의 유산균수 평균은 5.8 × 108 CFU/g이었다. 프로바이오틱스 5제품의 보존온도(−20℃, 4℃, 20℃, 40℃)와 보존기간(1, 3, 6개월) 경과에 따른 프로바이오틱스 함량 변화를 관찰한 결과, 보존기간 1개월에서 6개월 후 프로바이오틱스수 감소율은 평균 59%이었고, 4℃에서 가장 낮은 감소율과 40℃에서 가장 높은 감소율을 나타내었다. 또한, 5개 제품 중 3제품에서 보존기간 1개월에서 3개월 경과 후 40℃에서 70%이상 급격한 균수 감소를 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 프로바이오틱스 제품의 보존온도와 보관기간에 따른 변화를 고려할 때 프로바이오틱스 제품은 냉장보관을 권장하며 구입 후 되도록 단기간에 섭취하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the textile and fashion industry has adopted 3D printing technology, through which filaments are accumulated continuously in the form of sections to produce digitalized three-dimensional fashion products. Little research has been done regarding the consumer perspectives on 3D printed fashion product. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of consumer innovativeness, uniqueness, and perception factors on consumer attitudes and purchasing intentions for 3D printed fashion products. A questionnaire was given to consumers living in Seoul and Kyunggi, South Korea. The data obtained from the 159 completed questionnaires was analyzed by regression analysis, factor analysis, and Cronbach’s alpha using SPSS 24.0. The results were as follows: First, consumer innovativeness and uniqueness, in descending order, positively affect the perceived social image. Consumer innovativeness positively affects perceived aesthetics and consumer uniqueness positively affects perceived novelty. Second, social image has a positive effect on consumer attitudes to 3D printed fashion products. Third, consumer attitude positively affects purchasing intentions towards 3D printed fashion products. Fourth, consumer innovativeness and uniqueness, in descending order, have a positive effect on consumer attitudes and purchasing intentions for 3D printed fashion products. Fifth, social image and novelty, in descending order, positively affect purchase intentions for 3D printed fashion products. Therefore fashion firms should develop their marketing strategy to focus on innovative, unique consumers as a main target and aim to enhance buyers’ social image by using 3D printed fashion products.

Upcycling is the process of repurposing abandoned resources or useless products into products of better quality or higher environmental value. Upcycling products are evaluated to be sustainable because they demonstrate environmental values. However, domestic upcycling companies are operating on a small scale with a slow growth rate. This study aims to examine the value and risk factors of upcycling products from previous literature and clarify the effect of these ambivalent characteristics on purchase intention. This provides direction regarding factors upcycling companies should focus on. The data were collected via an online experiment with women in their 20s and 30s residing in South Korea, nationwide. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 18.0. Analysis of this data suggests that environmental, design, and self-expression value positively affect purchase intention. This extends previous upcycling literature by identifying design and self-expression value as important antecedents of purchase intention. However, in contrast to previous literature, no significant effect of performance or diversity risk was found. These results indicate that ethical attitude has a moderating effect on the relationship between environmental value and purchase intention. This study confirms that consumers intend to purchase upcycling products when they possess not only environmental value but also design and self-expression value.

With the rapid growth of the Chinese cosmetics market and the continuous introduction of new products into the market, beauty videos generated by other consumers, that are by beauty vloggers, have become a major source of information for cosmetics consumers. With the popularity of beauty vlogs in China, beauty vloggers have become influencers who affect consumers’ information processing and attitude development regarding cosmetic products and beauty routines. The current study aims to explore the characteristics of beauty vloggers that affect consumers’ attitudes toward both the beauty vlogs and the products featured in those vlogs. Based on parasocial interaction theory, the study examines whether perceived characteristics of beauty vloggers influence consumers’ perceived parasocial interaction, which in turn influences their attitudes. The study employs an online survey, which was administered to female consumers in China. Data from a total of 372 responses was used for analysis. Findings show that the perceived similarities to and perceived trustworthiness of vloggers have a significant impact on parasocial interactions, which influences consumer attitudes toward both the vlogs and the products shown in them. Perceived reliability and perceived attractiveness are shown to have a positive impact on consumer attitudes toward vlogs. Perceived expertise, attractiveness, similarity, and trustworthiness have all been shown to affect product attitudes. These results show that while beauty vlogs have a significant impact on consumers’ decision-making processes, the perceived characteristics of beauty vloggers themselves are important to consumers in the development of their attitudes toward both vlogs and products.

빛이 제품의 디자인 조형 요소로 적극적으로 사용되고 있는 추세에 반해, 제품 구매의 주체인 고객이 소구하는 제품의 빛 디자인에 대한 체계적인 연구가 요구되고 있다. 제품의 빛과 관련 연구는 특정 소구 감성을 달성하기 위한 최적 조명 조건을 도출하는 제한되어 새로운 디자인 요소로써 빛에 소구되는 감성적 효과에 대해 우선 분석이 진행 될 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 제품의 빛에 대해 고객이 소구하는 감성의 종류가 무엇인지 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 하였는데, 특히 제품의 주요 디자인 요소로써 빛을 활용하고 있는 냉장고 제품을 대상으로 하였다. 소구 감성을 도출하기 위해 다지선다형 선택지와 단답형 주관식 문항을 혼합한 통합연구법을 적용하였다. 실험에서는 조명의 색과 배치가 다른 비슷한 형태의 냉장고 이미지 서너 개씩 그룹화하여 총 12종의 자극물 그룹을 구성하였다. 그리고 참여자(N = 50)로 하여금 각 그룹 별로 선호하는 냉장고 이미지를 선택하도록 하고 그 이유에 대해 단답형 주관식 설문을 작성하게 하였다. 그 결과 총 1,035개의 어휘가 수집되었으며, 위 어휘들은 유의어 관계에 의해 총 29종의 어휘 그룹으로 정리되었다. 어휘 그룹은 다시 네 가지의 감성 카테고리 – 추상적 인상, 조명의 객관적 특성, 공간과 내용물의 인지, 시각적 편안함 – 으로 최종 분류된 후 네 가지 카테고리 간의 연관성을 기반으로 냉장고 조명에 소구하는 감성과 조명의 객관적 특성 간의 관계 모델을 제안하였다. 본 연구는 탐색적 방법을 이용해서 새로운 디자인 요소가 가져다줄 수 있는 감성적 가치를 발굴하고 이를 평가 척도로 활용하는 과정을 제시하였다는 데에 의의가 있다.

In this paper, we identify risk factors that are likely to occur during the lifecycle of a new product development (NPD) project from the literatures, and identify the three objectives or three constraints that will ultimately be achieved for project success in the ICT industry : performance (scope/quality), schedule (time), and cost. Firstly, we interviewed the project experts to classify the risk factors according that the final project objectives are changeable based on scope/quality, time and cost budget constraints. Secondly, the survey for pairwise comparisons between the risk factors was asked to the project managers and members who had ever actually participated in the NPD projects of ICT industry to determine the priority ranks on relative importance using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). The risk factors negatively affecting the goals of projects were analyzed by using the AHP respectively in four project stages during the life cycle of the project. The comparison of risk factors within each stage is a different approach unlike the literatures which have covered project’s overall risk assessment. There is an advantage that risk management can be effectively performed with priorities according to each stage from the start to the end of the project. In other words, it is necessary to identify what risk factors will occur in each stage, and to have ideas at each stage with the priorities so that they can be mitigated and eliminated before actual occurrence. As a result, risks on scope & quality changes were found to be the most important considerations for initiative stage of NPD projects in the ICT industry, whereas in the final stage, risks on schedule (time) changes were the most important priorities. Among the ICT industry product categories, ‘communication and broadcasting devices’ and ‘IT and communication based devices’ generally have a high priority in terms of risks on scope & quality changes when initiating the project. At the closing stage of the project, however, considering that schedule (time) changeable risk is getting higher, these products tend to target at B2B market rather than B2C because the new products must be delivered and launched in time as customer firm required.

Although milk, which is a representative western food, has a more than 100-year history in Korea, the preference is controversial. This study examined the milk history of Choseon in 1884~1938. This period was divided into 4 periods regarding the westerner’s records and advertisements. Westerners who visited Choseon in 1884~1895 (1st period) recorded the eating habits of Choseon,i.e., no milk consumed, even in insufficient food situation. Among the westerners, medical missionaries began to show or/and recommend condensed milk for sick children. In 1896~1909 (2nd period) newspapers, general shops in Hanseong for westerners showed advertisements of dairy products. In the 1900s, condensed and raw milk were advertised through newspapers. Domestic ranching systems to produce raw milk were established at that time mainly by Japanese. In the 1910s (3rd period), raw milk and condensed milk were advertised in newspapers. Since the mid-1920s (4th period), dairy products were bisected into condensed and powdered (dried) milk. Moreover, many Japanese manufacturers appeared in the advertisement in the 1920s. These results suggest that milk has been recognized as a symbol of an enlightenment food in Korea since the late 1900s, but the old negative wisdom, unfamiliar taste, and high price of milk at that time limited its appeal.

The home meal replacement (HMR) food industry began in 1980, and it has grown rapidly as a major food business for both consumers and the food industry since the development of industrialization and societal changes. Many researchers investigated a variety of HMR food product characteristics. On the other hand, previous studies have focused only on topics in limited study areas. Therefore, this study examined the effect of color marketing and the value of experience on the consumer behaviors. This study used a survey to collect the respondents' opinions about HMR food products. The study results showed that the characteristics of color marketing and the experience value of the HMR products influenced the consumers' attitudes. Moreover, consumers' attitudes affected their repurchase behavior. The results suggest that marketers of HMR food products should use colors that show the characteristics of products to appeal to consumers. In addition, HMR products should be developed in line with what consumers value the most; for example, consumers value their previous experience with the products and the characteristics of the products.
