Abstract

With the rapid spreading of the internet that is based on the development of the information network system, the paradigms of "internet round" and "cyber" are given much weight in the notion of "market." Especially, the cyber shopping for the individuals is developing rapidly creating the new life style, and also in the domestic economy the cases of building and running the cyber shopping malls are increasing. The purpose of this study is to analyse the customers' shopping styles that can be shown when the customers purchase physical goods or digital goods at the B to C EC and find the way to activate the shopping malls by controlling the factors which influence the trade. The result of the study is as follows: First, to analyse the acting style of the customers at the B to C EC, it is searched whether there is any relationship between the purchasing goods, which are divided into physical goods and digital goods. There was a cross analysis between the first factor of the five factors of the purchase decision or delay at the B to C EC and the goods type. The result of the analysis is that the purchase decision factor is different according as what type of goods is purchased. On the other hand, the purchase delay factor has no relation with the goods type. Second, the fact that the cyber shopping activities are quite different according to sexuality, age, academic background, or occupation suggests that these factors are very important to the strategy for the market-specification of the B to C EC marketing construction. The result shown in this study is sure to give great help to figure out the improvement strategies and the market-specialization strategies to accelerate the B to C EC marketing. On the side of the strategies for the improvement of the goods services, more attention should be given to the functional side for the improvement of the reliability of the goods service such as capacity, technique, and quality. And the activities of the customers are so different according to the vital statistics that the way to cope with the changeability properly should be considered.

본 연구는 B to EC에서의 쇼핑시 나타나는 소비자의 구매행태를 Physical Goods(물리적 상)와 Digital Goods(디지털 상품)로 구분하여 구매결정 및 지연 요인을 실증분석하여 B to C EC가 활성화될 수 있도록 도모함을 목적으로 한다. 연구의 결과를 종합하면 다음과 같다. 첫째로, B to C EC에서의 구매를 결정하는 요인과 구매를 지연(기피)하는 요인 다섯가지 중 제1순위 요인과 구매한 제품유형과의 교차분석 결과, 어떠한 제품유형을 구매하느냐에 따라 구매결정 요인이 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 둘째로는, 성별, 연령별, 학력별, 직업별 등 인구통계적 특성에 따라 B to C EC에서의 행동에 차이가 나타났으며, 이는 Cyber-marketing을 구축하는데 시장세분화 전략에 중요한 시사점을 주고 있다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 Cyber-marketing을 촉진시키기 위해서 상품서비스의 개선전략과 고객 시장세분화전략 수립에 적지 않은 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다. 상품서비스 개선 전략의 측면에서는 상품서비스의 신뢰성을 높이는 기능적 측면 즉 성능, 기술, 품질 등에 대해서 보다 많은 관심을 기울여야 할 것이다. 또한, 인구통계적 특성에 따라 쇼핑행동상에 있어서 많은 차이를 보이고 있으므로 이에 대한 적절한 대응책을 마련해야 할 것이다.
