This study attempts to answer three questions: what attracts someone to the metaverse, why do consumers buy intangible virtual goods in it, and do participants purchase more virtual items as they visit it frequently? Drawing from self-expansion theory and the notion of hedonic adaptation, this study examined the effects of perceived interactivity on the purchase intention of virtual items in the metaverse, mediated by perceived self-expansion, and moderated by metaverse access frequency. Data were collected through a survey of 248 individuals with metaverse experience. The results indicated that participants' perceived interactivity (i.e., playfulness and connectedness) strengthened their perception of expanded self, which in turn enhanced their purchase intentions toward virtual items.

The first stimulus type was a 360-degree VR video experience where respondents experienced the store of a small fashion retailer. The second was a website experience exploring the website of the same store. Results indicate that customers' VR experience (i.e., exploring the physical store in a VR setting), compared to website experience (i.e., exploring the same store's online store), enhanced their flow state, which, in turn, increased interest and visit intention toward the store.

Despite threatening local economies, outshopping generates opportunities for the new trading areas in which it occurs. Studies on outshopping have reported contradictory results and academics suggest further research, especially in relation to consumers’ micro-level characteristics. Moreover, few studies have focused on the U.S. as the trading area and apparel as the traded product. Based on the theory of reasoned action, this quantitative study explores how attitudes toward international outshopping and subjective norm influence purchase intention of apparel goods among international outshoppers in the U.S. by focusing on four characteristics of international outshoppers – self-control in terms of spending, the desire for unique products, age, and gender – as antecedents of attitudes toward outshopping. Colombian consumers (South America) were chosen as respondents because market reports indicate that the U.S. is their top favorite international tourist destination. Findings suggest that more positive attitudes toward outshopping apparel in the U.S. were found among female consumers with higher self-control over their expenditures. Respondents were also influenced by the opinion of others; while age and desire for unique products were found non-significant. By understanding international outshoppers, marketers can develop unique market strategies for attracting global consumers.}, number={2}, journal={International Review of Retail, Distribution and Consumer Research}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Ceballos, L.M. and Jin, B. and Ortega, A.M.}, year={2018}, pages={137–156} } @article{jin_almousa_yang_kim_2018, title={Differential effects of macro and micro country images by product category and by country among Saudi consumers}, volume={56}, ISSN={0025-1747}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/MD-10-2016-0751}, DOI={10.1108/MD-10-2016-0751}, abstractNote={ Purpose While country image consists of two hierarchical images – macro country image at the country level and micro country image at the specific product level – previous studies have largely failed to detail its varying effects by product category and by the level of a country’s economic development.

Results revealed that US consumers tend to perceive bast fiber in three sensibility dimensions: ‘Wearable,’ ‘Modern,’ and ‘Rich’. The influence of subjective hand on sensibility was found to differ by sensibility dimensions. The hands of ‘Smooth/Rough’ and ‘Warm/Cool’ were found to be the most significant determinants of sensibility. This study further found that the extent of preference which was predicted by sensibility differed by end use; while consumer preferences toward apparel, bed and bath items and table linen were found to be predicted by sensibility, furnishing, and industrial items were not.}, number={12}, journal={Journal of the Textile Institute}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Ju, J. and Jin, B. and Cho, H.}, year={2016}, pages={1554–1564} } @article{jeong_jin_chung_2015, title={Antecedents and outcomes of exploitative and explorative capabilities in the innovation process of Korean born globals}, volume={18}, number={1}, journal={The Journal of Small Business Innovation}, author={Jeong, S.W. and Jin, B. and Chung, J.-E.}, year={2015}, pages={61–73} } @book{jin_chung_jeong_yang_2015, place={Seoul}, title={Brands rule the world: Unlocking the DNA of successful Korean SMEs in the global marketplaces}, publisher={Idam Publication}, author={Jin, B. and Chung, J.E. and Jeong, S.W. and Yang, H.S.}, year={2015} } @article{jin_bennur_2015, title={Does the importance of apparel product attributes differ by country?

Attributes classified as performance and attractive categories contributed to satisfaction more than the attributes classified in the other categories, regardless of country. Collectively, the findings suggest that as a country's economy advances, the role of brand is diminishing and attributes such as fashionability and versatility become more important in creating customer satisfaction.

The findings indicated that perceived behavioral control had the strongest direct influence on purchase intentions of Korean college students for foreign brand jeans. Group conformity and subjective norm had non-significant direct impacts on purchase intention, whereas group conformity had an indirect impact on purchase intention through attitude.

Analyses of data collected from U.S. apparel manufacturers revealed no significant differences in supplier selection criteria or in perceived benefits and challenges by sourcing items. However, a significant difference was found based on top management’s commitment to global sourcing. That is, firms with strong commitment from top management placed significantly more weight on sourcing country when selecting overseas partners, perceived more benefits of global sourcing, and perceived fewer challenges in risks associated with foreign trade than did firms with low commitment from top management.

However, recent studies on born global firms prove the limitation of this theory. A born global is defined as “the firm that is heavily involved in exporting at inception or shortly after establishment” (Knight, G. A. and Cavusgil, S. T., 1996. The born global firms: A challenge to traditional internationalization theory, Adv. Int. Mark., 8, 11–26; Rennie, M. W., 1993. Global competitiveness: Born global, McKinsey Q., 4, 45–52). In developing countries, most apparel firms have the nature of born global, using labor-intensive operations. However, they often fail to maintain growth, and determinants of the growth remain largely unanswered. Among many potential factors, this study regards entrepreneur characteristics as more critical than others in explaining the growth.

This study attempted to determine if the dimensions of experiential value scale (EVS) by Mathwick, Malhotra, and Rigdon (2001) identified in US catalog and Internet contexts could be applied in other international markets (South Korea) and in other retail channels (department store versus Internet shopping mall). Methodology/Approach: Two data sets, one from 220 department store shoppers and the other from 359 Internet shopping mall shoppers, were analyzed. Findings: Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed four different EVS dimensions by retail channels. Overall, entertainment and intrinsic enjoyment values were found to be more important in department store while economic and efficiency value dimensions were interpreted critical in Internet shopping mall context. Visual appeal aspect constitutes distinct value dimension in two channels. Practical Implications: One separate dimension of time efficiency in Internet shopping mall suggests that more efficient web design and functions that can save time and promote convenience are needed to better accommodate their customers. Internet has heavily relied on traditional attributes, such as factual information, price comparability, and brand name reliance. However, this study suggests that Internet shopping mall retailer should offer visual diversion and stimulation just as brick and mortar shopping malls do. Originality Value of Paper: Although the research findings must be viewed as tentative because the results are from one country, they provide a rich basis for further understanding the dimensions of experiential value in other international markets and other retail channels.

Among three types of shopping motives (socialization, utilitarian and diversion), diversion significantly affected the level of excitement that shoppers experienced at the discount store. Store attributes of facility-related convenience and a neat, spacious atmosphere had an impact on shoppers' excitement at the discount stores.

This study focuses on causal relationships among brand loyalty-related variables, such as consumer knowledge, product involvement, perceived risk, information search, and consumer satisfaction, in an effort to integrate results of previous studies. The purpose of this study was to propose a model of clothing brand loyalty formation considering the five brand loyalty-related variables simultaneously, and to examine gender differences in the process of clothing brand loyalty formation. Participants were 505 Korean consumers with college or graduate degrees; all were white-collar workers in their twenties and thirties living in Seoul, Korea. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires, and a proposed model was tested by LISREL. The results indicated that consumer knowledge, product involvement, and perceived risk indirectly influence brand loyalty through the mediating variables of information search and consumer satisfaction. Information search and consumer satisfaction directly influence brand loyalty. The major gender difference was that the most influential variable in information search was perceived risk for men, whereas product involvement was the most influential variable for women. }, number={3}, journal={Clothing & Textiles Research Journal}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Jin, B. and Koh, A.}, year={1999}, pages={117–127} } @article{jin_koh_1999, title={The effects of consumers’ clothing price perceptions on Hedonic shopping values}, volume={10}, number={3}, journal={Korean Journal of Consumer Studies}, author={Jin, B. and Koh, A.}, year={1999}, pages={67–84} } @article{jin_1998, title={Consumers’ perception of clothing price (Part I).

Korean manufacturers were nurtured until they were able to compete with manufacturers throughout the world. Korean retailers are now caught in the domestic market between the powerful Korean manufacturers and foreign retail competitors who have themselves learned to be competitive by going head to head with world‐class retailers. Manufacturers, rather than retailers, have dominated the Korean distribution industry. Korean retailing is characterized by large department stores owned by the chaebols, and small, inefficient family‐centered operations. In contrast to the department store’s decline in sales, the growth of discount stores is the strongest trend in Korean retailing.
