Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of transaction characteristics on transaction cost and choice intention by applying transaction cost theory to experiential product. Experience-specificity, transaction uncertainty, and personal uncertainty are proposed to reflect the characteristics of experiential products, and the effects of these variables on transaction costs and transaction costs are assumed to have an influence on the choice intention. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, experience-specificity(site, physical equipment, knowledge skill, temporal), transactional uncertainty(product-, process-), personal uncertainty (preference-, and situation-) have a significant positive effect on transaction cost. Second, transaction costs (search, comparison, examination, negotiation, payment, delivery) have a significant negative effect on the choice intention of the experiential product. The results of this study show that the increase of transaction costs can reduce the choice of experiential products and the strategic consideration of experience specificity, transaction uncertainty and individual uncertainty are required to reduce transaction costs. In addition, experiential products lacked access from a transactional and cost-based point of view, and this study contributes theoretically by compensating for the lack.

본 연구는 거래비용이론을 경험재 선택에 적용하여 경험재의 거래특성과 거래비용에 대해 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 경험재의 특성을 반영하여 경험특유성, 거래불확실성, 개인불확실성을 제안하고 이 변수들이 거래비용에 주는 영향, 거래비용이 선택의도에 주는 영향을 가정하였다. 경험재 선택에 관한 207부의 데이터를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 경험특유성(장소특유성, 물리적장비특유성, 지식기술특유성, 시간특유성), 거래불확실성(제품불확실성, 과정불확실성), 개인불확실성(선호불확실성, 상황불확실성)은 거래비용에 모두 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 거래비용(탐색비용, 비교비용, 검사비용, 협상비용, 주문과지불비용, 전달비용)은 해당 경험재의 선택의도에 부정적 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 거래비용의 증가가 경험재의 선택 가능성을 줄일 수 있고, 거래비용을 감소시키기 위해 경험특유성과 거래불확실성, 개인불확실성의 전략적 고려가 필요함을 보여주고 있다. 또한 거래와 비용적 관점에서의 접근이 부족했던 경험재 연구를 보완함으로써 이론적인 기여를 하고 있다.
