Abstract

In a buyer seller transaction process, "value for money" is one of the most important criteria for a buyer's purchasing decision. The terms "value" and "money" represent a composite measure of what a buyer receives from goods and/or services and a measure of what he/she pays for them, respectively. The purpose of this paper is to help buyers select the best seller in terms of value for money. We suggest DEA models for buyer seller transactions and apply them to the case of an Internet comparison shopping site in Korea. We expect our DEA models to provide valuable information for rational buyers who want to pay the least price for high quality products/services. Moreover, we expect that our models can help sellers be more competitive by showing them how to attract buyers.

소비자와 판매자간의 거래에서 화폐가치는 소비자의 구매의사결정시 중요한 기준이 된다. 화폐가치는 소비자가 지불한 가격에 대해서 제품과 서비스로부터 얻게 되는 가치의 복합적인 척도이다. 본 연구의 목적은 화폐가치를 기반으로 한 소비자의 판매자 선택을 지원해 주기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해서 본 연구에서는 소비자와 판매자간의 거래를 위한 DEA 모형을 제안하고 국내 비교쇼핑 사이트에서의 적용방안을 제시하였다. DEA 모형을 기반으로 한 판매자 추천정보는 최상의 제품과 서비스를 최저의 가격으로 구매하고자 하는 소비자들에게 유익한 정보로 활용될 것이다. 또한 본 기법은 경쟁이 치열해지고 있는 판매자들에게 경쟁우위를 갖추기 위한 전략으로 활용 될 것으로 기대된다.
