과거 할인점에서의 상품구색은 대체로 가격이 저렴한 제품들로 구성되어 있었지만, 외국계 할인점이 국내에 진출하고 할인점들 간 경쟁이 치열해지면서 할인점은 매장을 고급스럽게 디자인하고 상품가치가 높고 지명도가 높은 제품들로 구색을 갖추고 있다. 이러한 할인점의 새로운 위상정립에 따라 할인점에서의 화장품 매대도 진열과 구색이 변화되고 있는데, 본 연구는 할인점에서의 화장품 매대 및 취급상표의 특징, 그리고 화장품 매대를 쇼핑하는 소비자의 행태에 관한 자료를 수집 및 분석한 후, 그 결과를 종합하여 메이커와 소비자 측면에서 할인점을 통한 화장품 판매현황을 분석하였다. 조사결과 소비자들은 화장품 구매 장소로서 할인점을 기존 화장품 전문점보다 모든 측면에서 우수한 구매 장소로 인식하고 있었고, 백화점에 비해서도 나쁘지 않은 것으로 평가하고 있었다. 또한 메이커들도 할인점의 화장품매장에 대한 지원을 강화하고 있고, 할인점 전용상표를 개발하여 일반 화장품 전문점 및 백화점과 차별화된 유통경로를 구축하기 위하여 노력하고 있음이 확인되었다.

This study intends to explore the relationship between export motivating factors and export channel-structure. Two proactive motivating factors (market-opportunity development and productivity improvement) and one reactive motivating factor (business-risk hedge) were extracted from the survey data collected from Korean exporting firms. The data show that the two proactive motives enhance the likelihood of using the export channels that allow strong controls over export-marketing activities. This study also finds that these proactive motives tend to increase the amount of relationship investment in an export distribution channel.
