This paper estimates the degree of market power of marketers in the Korean beef market, especially focusing on wholesale and retail marketing levels. Prices in various marketing levels show that there is a possibility of more price differentials than marketing costs in the Korean beef market. Annual price and quantity data are used to estimate the degree of market power in the wholesale and retail levels. The empirical results show that the domestic beef retail market is far from perfect competition and the wholesale market is relatively near to perfect competition.

The ICT(information & communication technology) led to a dramatic change of floral distribution service, a phase of competition between wholesales and retail stores, and distribution channels in floral industry. It was expected that a role of the intermediaries in this industry would have reduced due to the improvement of transaction process by ICT. However, the ICT made to overcome a regional limit of the floral retail distribution service leading to an increase in sales and enlargement of the stores. And even it made possible to bring out another type of intermediaries such as private associations. This case study focuses on what kinds of efforts the floral wholesale distributors have made to enable a distribution process more smoothly between the wholesale distributors and retail stores through the information system, and what the failure factors in adopting the information system have been. This paper is also to examine how the wholesale distributors have changed themselves to gain dominant positions in distribution channels. As a result of the study, it was found that the intermediaries mostly failed in successfully achieving the distribution channel innovation through the information system because of several main reasons. FLOMARKET Inc. tried to innovate a distribution channel to obtain high quality goods through consolidating a wholesale distribution market in that segregated both floral joint market from free markets. after implementing the information system with consideration of the failure factors, FLOMARKET Inc. was able to minimize goods in stock and make a major purchase of various goods. In addition, it made a possible pre-ordering process and an exact calculation of purchasing goods so they could provide their products with market price in real time, which helped for the company to gain credits from their customers. Also, FLOMARKET Inc. established the information system which well suited to its business stage in order to deal with a rapidly changing distribution environment. It's so obvious that the transaction processing system of FLOMARKET Inc. definitely helped to share information among traders more seamlessly and smoothly in realtime, standardize goods, and make a transaction process clearer. Besides, the transaction information helped the wholesale distributors and retail stores to make more strategic decisions in their business because through the system they enabled to gather the marketing intelligence information more easily and convenient. If we understand that the floral distribution market is characterized by the low IT- based industry, it's worth to examine a case study proving that the information system actually increases the productivity of the transaction process in the floral industry.

글로벌 시대에 있어서 우리나라 귀금속 분야의 국제적인 경쟁력을 높이기 위해서는 전자상거래를 도입하여 유통경로를 간소화하고 거래의 투명성을 확보하는 것이 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 이는 각 기업의 경쟁력제고 및 소비자를 보호할 수 있으며, 국가 자원 관리적 측면에서도 효율성을 기할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 관점에서 본 논문에서는 귀금속 소비재 분야의 B2B 전자상거래 모델을 쥬얼리코리아의 사례를 통해 제시하였다. 쥬얼리코리아는 귀금속 소비재 부문의 e 마켓플레이스를 구성하여 귀금속 생산업체가 각각 독립적인 입점업체로 참여하고, 국내 소매상과 해외바이어가 구매자로 참여하여 기존의 메이커(제조업체)-도매상-중상인-소매상의 4 단계 유통경로를 축소하여 각 생산업체에서 소매상간 직거래가 가능하도록 하는 것이 핵심이다. 여기에 금, 나석 등 원자재 공급업체와 각종 설비 및 기계장치의 공급업체, 귀금속 제조관련 교육기관, 여행사 등이 참여하여 다양한 제품 정보와 서비스를 제공함으로써 기존의 폐쇄적인 유통체계와 정보체계를 해소하고 귀금속의 종합적인 정보창고로서의 역할도 수행한다. 또한 해외바이어 정보와 Inquiring 정보, 해외쥬얼리쇼정보 등을 제공함으로써 해외시장 개척과 수출 증대에도 기여한다.

영국 BT의 모든 도매 xDSL 상품은 'end-to-end' 방식으로만 제공되고 있는데 이것이 OLO에게 있어서는 자신의 망을 사용하는데 범위를 제약하기 때문에, OLO들은 BT 망과의 상호접속을 통하여 가능하면 자신의 망으로 대체할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고 그들 최종이용자의 트래픽을 전송하기 위하여 BT의 ATM 망의 ATM 교환기에서의 상호접속을 요청하게 되었다. 이에 따라 Oftel은 OLO의 요구사항을 검토한 결과, 요청 상호접속서비스가 BT의 기존 도매 DSL 상품과 상응하지 않기 때문에 이는 BT가 제공하여야 한 새로운 형태의 상호접속 서비스라고 규정하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 기존 사업자인 BT의 데이터 망 구성과 제공 상품 내용, OLO의 상호접속 요청서비스에 대한 개념과 의미, 그리고 Oftel의 최종 결정사항의 주요 내용을 살펴됨으로써, 신규 상호접속서비스 규정에 대한 Oftel의 접근 방식과 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

인터넷 사용인구의 증가로 인한 물류 수송량의 증대를 맞아 많은 양의 물품들이 생산 공장과도 도매상 등을 거쳐 소비자에게 전달된다. 이에 여러 가지 물건들이 하나의 박스 등을 이용해 담겨져 보내어질 때, 박스에 담긴 물품의 정확한 개수 확인이 이루어지지 않는다면, 물품의 정확한 개수에 대한 재확인 및 물품의 개수가 맞지 않을 때의 사후 조치에 드는 비용 등을 통해 물류처리에 들어가는 전체 시간의 지연과 동시에 처리 비용의 증가를 초래하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 박스 등에 담긴 물품의 정확한 개수 확인을 위해 RFID 태그와 리더, 미들웨어를 사용해 정확한 실시간 물품의 개수를 측정할 수 있는 기법에 대한 연구를 담고 있으며, 이러한 연구는 물류처리 전체 시간 지연 및 처리 비용 감소에 대한 한계점을 극복하기 위하여 제시한다.

After 1990's, many multi-level marketing companies lave been introduced in Korea. These MLM companies operate their stores as same way as general retailing stores. The major characteristics of these MLM companys' store is that their main customers are distributors who sell the purchased merchandise to another customers. Many studies about merchandise display in general retailing stores were reported. But, there was less research about merchandise display in these special type stores such as MLM companys' stores. This paper investigates the effects of merchandise display on distributor's merchandise selection in channel flow of multi-level marketing company. For this purpose, we formulated four hypotheses about display variance in quantity, height, location, and related merchandise to analyze the effect of merchandise display methods in MLM companys' stores. The experiment had been proceeded in three stores in a MLM company for 6 weeks and the sales data were collected by POS. The methods to analyze the data were used ANOVA and T-test. Findings of this study are as follows; First, there was no effect to store sale by the interaction effect between merchandise display method and scale of store. Second, scale of store affected considerably the volume of sales of each store according to main effect analysis. Third, display variance in quantity, height, and location did not affect store sale. In the related merchandise display, however, sale in all store was increased. Fourth, in additional analysis considering merchandise display only, display variance in both height and location affected their sale in large scale store. Based on the above results, we may predict merchandise display can affect sale in MLM companys' store as well as general retailing stores. Therefore if MLM company has large scale store, it should consider merchandise display methods in its stores.
