Segundo dados do Intituto Brasileiro do Vinho (Ibravin), de cada cinco vinhos finos vendidos no Brasil, 80% é importado. A imagem de um produto tem um papel importante na preferência e na escolha do produto (CHUANG; CHANG; HSU, 2001), uma vez que a escolha depende largamente da percepção sob a imagem do produto. Assim sendo, o objetivo central deste estudo foi de identificar a configuração da imagem do vinho fino nacional e importado e os fatores determinantes nas intenções de compra dos consumidores da região serrana do Rio Grande do Sul. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter exploratório, através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas para identificar os atributos que compõem a imagem do vinho fino. Após, conduziu-se uma pesquisa quantitativa, através de uma survey, onde utilizou-se técnicas estatísticas como Análise de Variancia (ANOVA), analise fatorial e regressão linear múltipla. Através da analise fatorial foi possível a obtenção de 6 fatores que compõem a imagem do vinho fino: (i) simbólico, (ii) simbólico-social, (iii) afetivo-sensorial, (iv) valor, (v) funcional e (vi) histórico. A análise de regresso linear múltipla não mostrou resultados significantes. Os resultados da análise de regressão indicam os fatores (ii) simbólico-social e (vi) históricos como fatores novos na literatura. Assim, melhora-se o entendimento acerca da composição da imagem do vinho fino. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-04-28T14:30:58Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Taisson Toigo.pdf: 1753254 bytes, checksum: d158d7cfadcc1728cc849b269ad6e540 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-04-28T14:30:58Z (GMT).

According to information of Brazilian Wine Institute (IBRAVIN) 80% of the sold wine in Brazil are imported. Product image plays as important role on preferences and product choice (CHUANG; CHANG; HSU, 2001), as long as the choice hardly depends on product`s image perpeption. The purpose of this study was to identify the nacional and imported wine`s configuration of image an d the determinant factors on purchase intent over customers across Serra region of Rio Grande do Sul.Therefore, after the literature review on the subjects, an exploratory qualitative research was conducted, through semi-structured interviews aiming to identify the attributes that compose the wine`s image. Next, a quantitative research was handled through a survey, using statistical techniques like Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), factor analysis and multiple linear regression. Through the factor analysis it was possible to obtain 6 dimensios of wine image: (i) symbolic, (ii) social-simbolic, (iii) affective-sensory, (iv) value, (v) functional and (vi) historic. By the multiple linear regression it was not possible to obtain relevant results. It was also found two new factors by the factorial analisys: (ii)social-simbolic and (vi)historic. So, the understanding on the wine image becomes better.

¡@¡@In recent years, Taiwan's industries actively seeking industrial restructuring in the way of increasing added value to products. That makes many convenience goods brands appeared on the market, but consumer-related studies is scanty; and theoretical studies have indicated that a product¡¦s image will affect the brand image. However, in domestic empirical research, the studies are primarily focus on product image and brand image, and consistency between brand image and product form, and seldom discuss the topic of the product design can enhance brand image. According to the background and motivation, the proposition of this study are as follows¡G (1) Understand the association of product image and brand image. (2) Using demographic variables as moderators to explore how the brand image and product prices affect the perceived value. (3) Analyzing relationships between customers¡¦ perceived value and purchase intention. In this study, product design and product prices are independent variables. First, uses the 24 groups of opposing adjectives that Ming-Chuen Chuang and Ching-Hang Kao (1997) sorted out to do semantic differential analysis on four brands of products to measure the respondents¡¦ feeling toward product form, color, texture, feel, and function. And then, discussing the relationship among product image, brand image, perceived value and purchase intention. The conclusions are summarized as follows¡G (1) Different product design has different effects on brand image. (2) The brand image and product price has a significant impact on the perceived value. (3) Some demographic variables have a moderating effect on brand products. (4) Perceived value has a significant effect on purchase intention. Keywords¡Gconvenience goods, product design, product image, brand image, perceived value, purchase intention

As a method of marketing communications between companies and consumers, packages serve as a ¡§spokesperson¡¨ of the product on the point-of-sale. These may have significant impacts on the process of consumers¡¦ purchase decisions. Consumers also make inferences from the products packages, and the location of the product image on a package facade was one of the factors that influences consumers¡¦ perceptions of the visual heaviness of the product and evaluations of the package, which is called ¡§product image location effect.¡¨ Based on previous studies on the product image location effect, this study distinguished the product image locations into two places: perceived as heavy or light. Furthermore, three types of sensation cues (¡§vision-only¡¨, ¡§vision and touch simultaneously¡¨, and ¡§vision then touch¡¨) are considered in this study in order to understand how the product image location effect works. In addition, individual differences in need for touch (NFT) is also incorporated into this research to examine how it may sway the results of product image location effect and consumers¡¦ confidence when judging products. The present study employed an experimental design to investigate the effects of product image location (bottom-right vs. top-left), the type of sensation cues (vision-only vs. vision and touch simultaneously vs. vision then touch), and autotelic need for touch (low vs. medium vs. high) on consumers¡¦ evaluation of perceived product heaviness and confidence in product judgments. A 2x3x3 factorial design was conducted. Six different scenarios were established through virtual packages and different sensation inputs. A quantile method was used to distinguish consumers into low, medium and high autotelic NFT. Consumers¡¦ evaluation was measured by perceived product heaviness and confidence in product judgments. The results indicated that when there was a tactile input, the product image location effect would disappear. Besides, compared to those who were medium and high in autotelic NFT, product image location effect was more influential on those who were low in autotelic NFT. In addition, in vision-only condition, location of the product image influenced consumers¡¦ confidence in product judgment. According to these findings, this research contributes to the further understandings of product image location effect and provides implications for researchers and marketers on package design.

80年代間，國內的主流流行歌曲，主要分為國語和臺語兩種類型，青少年市場的國語歌曲多著墨於風花雪月，臺語類則沿襲東洋味在悲情歌調中打轉。透過文化產物可以反映出社會變貌，87年開始，國內的政治、社會環境丕變，本土文化抬頭，流行音樂市場中出現了批判現實的另類音樂創作，部份臺語歌曲也出現了新風貌。歐美的流行音樂市場，發展成為大型的唱片集團公司和小型的獨立公司並立的局面，前者握有大部分的市場。提起這兩者，往往分別和主流、非主流扣聯在一起；主流和非主流，又分別代表著同質化的音樂風格和另類的創新音樂風格。 　　國內雖然沒有形成本地的龐大音樂集團，而水晶唱片公司也是本地唯一走另類生產路線的公司，兩種不同訴求的生產策略，分別有不同的行銷方法以及和媒體互動的關係。 　　唱片業和廣播電臺、電影、電視和報章雜誌等傳播媒體關係密切，本文探討唱片業和媒體之間如何運作，共同形塑流行音樂的面貌，以及近年間流行音樂市場的變化，具有那些社會文化意涵。 / In 1980s, main-stream popular music in Taiwan divided into Mandarin and Taiwanese songs two genres. The former focusing on teenagers market most sings about love and personal feelings, and the other follows Japanese color expressing sadness tone. Since 1987, the political and social environment of Taiwan has been greatly changing, with locol culture status arising, there emerging some alternative popular music. 　　Within west countries' popular music markets, major syndicate companies hold most markets and independent companies share the rest. Major and independent companies respectly remind of homogeneous and alternative music styles. Two kinds of production strategies also appear in Taiwan popular music market, where exist different relations between communication media and record companies. 　　This paper concerns Taiwan popular music market since the late 1980s till 1994, analysing the changes and their social meanings.

Esta dissertação teve, por objetivo, identificar a configuração da imagem de apartamento, formada sob o ponto de vista das pessoas que compraram este bem. Por imagem, entende-se como sendo representações, impressões, convicções ou mesmo redes de significados de um objeto armazenado na memória de forma holística. A fim de atingir o objetivo proposto, foi empregado o MCI (Método de Configuração de Imagem), que é um instrumento de pesquisa utilizado para a identificação das imagens, tanto de organizações, quanto de marcas, produtos e serviços. A partir da aplicação do instrumento, atingiu-se o resultado, que consiste no entendimento de como é configurada a imagem de apartamento. Isto ocorreu através da pesquisa qualitativa, que proporcionou a compreensão dos atributos formadores da imagem de apartamento e de como estes atributos estão organizados na mente do consumidor, quanto a suas dimensões formadoras e a posição destes atributos nas representações dos entrevistados. Já através da pesquisa quantitativa, foi possível identificar e confirmar a estruturação dos fatores que compõem o modelo relativo à intenção de compra de apartamentos; mostrando então, as dimensões que mais impactaram na intenção de compra. Nesse sentido, identificouse que o fator simbólico, sensorial, valor percebido e funcional são os que mais impactaram nas intenções de compra dos consumidores. Identifica-se que este trabalho traz uma importante contribuição no entendimento das imagens dos consumidores e como estas imagens impactam nas intenções de compra. Nesse sentido, este tipo de estudo pode auxiliar as empresas no direcionamento estratégico e na construção de imóveis adequados as necessidades e desejos dos consumidores. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-04-30T11:38:11Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Mauricio Caetano Nedeff.pdf: 1160985 bytes, checksum: 3267a7b59b56a9f27b0915619cd15491 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-04-30T11:38:11Z (GMT).
