The main purpose of the research is to realize whether consumer¡¦s decision environment, involvement and knowledge of EMBA service as well as their personal difference will have connection with their choice models. About the research method, subjects were EMBA graduate students who ever had chosen experience. The sample came from north and south Taiwan where got more choices of EMBA school and received 192 valid questionnaires. For statistic analysis, the sample was separated into two groups by the number of decision environment¡¦s alternative and attribute quantity, and distinguished by both involvement and knowledge into low, median and high groups. The factor analysis, reliability analysis, chi-square test, discriminant analysis and one-way ANOVA are used as statistical analysis methods. The results are presented below: 1. When consumers choose EMBA, the number of alternatives has the connection with choice models. But there is no obvious connection between the number of attributes and the choice models. 2. When the degree of consumer involvement is different, the connection between alternative numbers and choice models will be different. 3. When the degree of consumer knowledge is different, the connection between alternative numbers and choice models will be different. 4. The difference of consumer personal factors only exist the connection with the consumer involvement of EMBA, but has no obvious connection with choice models and the knowledge of EMBA. Comparing to the other related researches, most of them are based on such as EKB model, analyzing all consumer decision or purchase processes. But those researches didn¡¦t investigate deep enough about consumer purchasing behavior¡¦s final secret process of professional services. Thus, this is an exploratory research, trying to describe the consumer decision situation of internal EMBA. And that is this research¡¦s contribution and value.

Lu, Jiue-lung 21 June 2005 (has links)
¡§Loyalty Programs¡¨ is a necessary and important step in the formation of relationship marketing. However, not only been applied in practice but also been researched by academia, there are still some gaps because of lack of a complete frame to analyze the vales of the loyalty programs. Therefore this research aims to fill-in the gaps that past practice and academics have failed by providing a conceptual frame by studying related literatures of loyalty programs and takes advantage of the frame to analyze the relationships among those values, relationship quality and customer loyalty in the telecom industry. The results of this study find that four values of nine values in the frame, including ¡§economic value¡¨, ¡§choice of redemption options¡¨, ¡§relevance¡¨ and ¡§social benefits¡¨ will influence relationship quality and customer loyalty in the telecom industry. However, customers still care more about economic value and relevance. The corporations in the industry can increase customer loyalty by designing high level of economic value and relevance. But if those would like to build higher level of relationship with the customers, they have to take advantage of social benefits through which to build strong and long customers loyalty. Therefore through this frame, the corporations can realize which value they should attach importance to. The results also prove the effectiveness of the loyalty program conceptual frame.

Using the product types drafted by Ratchford (1987¡^as the moderating variable, this research explores the relation between different types of electronic word-of-mouth and consumers¡¦ product attitude and purchase intention. Ratchford (1987) divided the products into four categories along two dimensions, the consumer ¡§involvement¡¨ and ¡§rational vs affective¡¨ attitude. An experimental study was conducted using electronic word-of-mouth collected from Internet group discussion forums to find how different types of electronic word-of-mouth (product introduction, positive reviews and negative reviews) affected consumer¡¦s attitude and behavior. The results indicate that the nature of electronic word-of-mouth did affect consumer attitude toward the product and purchase intention. Major observations include the following: 1. Negative electronic word-of-mouth has resulted in lower attitude and purchase intention for ¡§Low involvement¡¨ product. 2. No significant difference exists between different types of electronic word-of-mouth for ¡§High involvement¡¨ product. 3. For ¡§Rational product¡¨, neutral message that only provided product description¡¨ turned out to create higher satisfaction, while positive and negative word-of-mouth had no significant effect on consumer attitude and purchase intention. 4. For ¡§Affective product¡¨, positive electronic word-of-mouth has more satisfaction on the consumer¡¦s attitude and purchase intention.
