The study conducted unstructured interviews with hotel managers using Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET). ZMET, devised by Zaltman, Coulter, is used to collect and analyze relevant data. This analysis produced the construct of brand equity, and several possible evaluative questions were drawn by analyzing the questions based on each construct produced by ZMET. The results also showed that perceived quality, differentiation, awareness, and trust are the cause variables of hotel brand equity, and that dignity and loyalty are the result variables. In the last stage, a consensus map describing hotel managers’ knowledge was presented. This consensus map is practical in that it gives an understanding of the causes and results of people forming opinions about brand equity, and can be used to discern the marketing variables that are helpful in managing brand equity practically. It can also be used to get hotel managers’ understanding of a brand as well as to help customers make decisions on a specific brand.핵심용어(Key words):브랜드자산(Brand equity), 브랜드이미지(Brand image), 정신모형(Mental map), 공유개념도(Consensus map), Zaltman의 은유추출기법(ZMET)

This study was conducted to introduce an advanced well-being trend called ‘LOHAS consumption trend’ from restaurant customers’ perspective regarding a local restaurant industry. The main purpose of the study is to prove whether ‘LOHAS consumption trend’ realistically affects a primary factor of purchase. The survey was conducted through 400 respondents who have experienced dining out before and 355 faithful responses out of 400 were selected for practical study.

The objective of this article is to compare two versions of inter-temporal choice behavior in selecting various types of restaurant in order to investigate the determinants inducing the behavioral difference. A multinomial logit(MNL) equation is applied to the data sources stemming from the 1999 and 2005 surveys. The equality of the MNL coefficients between the two versions is tested by means of the likelihood ratio test. The null hypothesis of no statistical difference in choice behavior is rejected. On the basis of the results from the test, the determinants influencing the differences in choice behavior between the two versions are scrutinized for a given type of restaurant. Inter-temporal choice probabilities for a given restaurant are also estimated using MNL model to determine whether there was a difference in patterns of choosing restaurant types between the two counterparts. 핵심용어(Key words):이 시점(inter-temporal), 외식업체유형(types of restaurants), 선택행동(choice behavior), 다항선택로짓모형(multinomial logit model), 우도비율검정(likelihood ratio test)

This paper evaluates relative efficiency of two global family restaurants, by using DEA. While most of previous DEA literatures on restaurant industry studied efficiency of single restaurant chain. This paper tries to compare the relative efficiency between two competing restaurant chains having similar input-output structures. This also differs from the other works in that it adopts various methods of DEA and analyzes not only technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency, but also scale efficiency and input factor efficiency. These analyses lead to the finding that the two chains have differences in technical, pure technical and factor efficiencies but not scale efficiency. Results will be helpful in understanding the competition structures of the restaurant service industry where competition is getting intense.핵심용어(Key words):외식업(Restaurant business), 패밀리 레스토랑(Family restaurant), 자료포락분석(Data envelopment analysis), 효율성(Efficiency), 규모에 대한 보수(Return to scale)

We analyze the internal growth rate and sustainable growth rate in Korean Hotel Corporation Through. Building on Babcock(1970) model and Higgins(1977) model, we use financial ratio data from 2000 to 2005 and employ paired-samples T test, Pearson correlation test and multi-variate regressions. As a result, we can get a negative sustainable growth rate based on Babcock model. The main factor of a negative sustainable growth rate is probably the low margin of profit on sales. And the main factor of the sustainable growth rate in Higgins model is unlikely to be a debt to equity ratio but a margin of profit on sales, a turnover ratio of sales to total capital and dividend payout ratio.핵심용어(Key words):호텔기업(Hotel corporation), 내부성장률(Internal growth rate),지속가능성장률(Sustainable growth rate), Babcock 모형(Babcock model),Higgins 모형(Higgins model)
