This study aims to configure what dimensions make up for smart phone after service quality, and how this service quality affects customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Smart phone market is a market of the device leading the digital convergence as well as positioning itself as one of the national growth driving industry. To survive in this matured market, companies should have to respond actively to radical changes and customers needs in the so-called Smart Revolution environment. Lately, however, the smart phone market is prospected to move from growth phase to mature phase by the scholars. In order to proactively respond to the change in such market condition, companies need to provide absolute advantage in customer loyalty over their competitors by revolutionizing the after-sales service quality. Qualified A/S will lead to service satisfaction and achieve customer loyalty. The empirical analysis results obtained through A/S quality are as follows : First, human quality (attitude, expertise, problem-solvability), environment quality (handling agility, convenience, comfort), service policy quality (quality guarantee, additional service operation) are dimensions that make up for A/S quality. Second, A/S quality dimension showed a significant positive influence on service satisfaction and A/S satisfaction showed a positive influence on customer loyalty as well. Based on this empirical study, we propose some implications for A/S quality improvement. First, human quality dimension has relatively higher influence on A/S satisfaction in case of free A/S, so companies need to solve the product problem completely when consumer’s first visit by continual employee education. Second, in case of paid A/S, the service policy quality-especially A/S Warranty period- has higher influence on A/S satisfaction.

Mobile phone market, a market of the device leading the digital convergence as well as positioning itself as one of the national growth driving industry and as a daily necessity, is led globally by companies that have been actively responding to changes in the so-called Smart Revolution environment. Lately, however, the Smart Phone market is prospected to move from growth phase to mature phase by the scholars. In order for a company to proactively respond to the change in such market condition, it is imperative that they ensure absolute advantage in customer loyalty over their competitors by revolutionising the after-sales service(A/S) quality that will lead to service satisfaction. This study aims to configure what dimensions make up for mobile phone A/S quality, and how this quality affects customer satisfaction and loyalty as well as proposing directions for A/S quality improvement by identifying them case by case to see what dimensions have more impact on customer satisfaction.

The development of mobile communication technology is transforming the market of mobile communication devices, which is used to be merely for simple communication, into the one which offers features of personal digital assistant (PDA), fax communica- tion and Internet access. Unlike a mobile phone which comes out as a complete package and whose functions cannot be changed, a smart phone can be upgraded by its user, adding or removing apps as he pleases. OS’s of smart phones are iOS-based Apple, Google Android, Window Mobile, and others. Due to its convenience and powerful features, many people use smart phones its high price. On the other hand, consumer complaints are rising on poor A/S for occasional malfunction. This study analyzes how A/S cases can be classified into groups according to quality factors. We evaluate factors such as consumer impression and consumer satisfaction. By dual quality evaluation using KANO method, we would like to show the different A/S strategy for smart phones, compared with mobile phones.

세계는 무선통신 기술의 발달로 휴대용 모바일 폰의 형태도 단순 무선통신을 하는 휴대폰에서 휴대폰과 개인휴대단말기(personal digital assistant; PDA)의 장점을 결합한 것으로 일정관리, 팩스 송수신 및 인터넷 접속 등의 데이터 통신기능을 통합시킨 스마트폰이 출시되었다. 이 스마트폰은 완제품으로 출시되어 주어진 기능만 사용하던 기존의 휴대폰과는 달리 수백여 종의 다양한 애플리케어션(응용프로그램)을 사용자가 원하는 대로 설치하고 추가 또는 삭제할 수 있는 특징을 가지고 있다. 이에 모바일 폰의 사장도 노키아와 삼성 중심의 휴대폰 시대에서 애플의 독주와 삼성전자 등이 뒤를 쫒고 있는 스마트폰 시대로 전환하였다. 스마트폰의 편리성, 기능성 등을 이유로 많은 고객들이 고가임에도 불구하고 스마트폰을 구입하고 사용하기 시작하였다. 하지만 몇몇 사용 중 기능고장 등으로 인한 애프터서비스의 부실로 고객의 불만이 상승하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 핸드폰과 스마트폰의 애프터서비스 품질 구성요인을 분석하고, 고객감동 요인, 고객만족 요인, 고객불만해소 요인의 존재 및 차이 여부를 평가하고, 나아가 이 품질 구성요인이 고객만족과 기업성과에 미치는 영향도를 분석하고 평가함으로써 기존 핸드폰 시장에서 애프터서비스 전략과 스마트폰 시장에서 애프터서비스 전략이 어떻게 차별화 되여야 하는지에 대한 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

Researches on after-sales quality have centered on home electric appliances, figuring out how factors influencing after-sales service quality are causally related to customer's behavioral intentions, via consumer satisfaction as an intermediary parameter.
