As part of their marketing policy, some suppliers allow retailers a period of credit in anticipation of increasing demand for the products they supply. The opportunity to defer payments on products through credit transactions has the effect of reducing retailers' inventory investment costs, and as a result, retailers determine selling prices in anticipation of increased demand from buyers. This study aims to analyze the inventory model that determines the retailer's selling price and EOQ(Economic Order Quantity) under the assumption that the buyer's demand is an exponentially decreasing function of the retailer's selling price in the credit transaction supply chain consisting of suppliers, retailers, and buyers. The products supplied for problem analysis include the case of deteriorating products that deteriorate over time, and the effect of the credit transaction period, the index of price elasticity and the degree of deterioration on the retailer's selling price and EOQ is analyzed.

This study addresses the management performance of the retail industry in Korea. The Non-store e-commerce business, consisting of TV home shopping and online shopping, grew very fast during the 2000s. For roughly six years in the 2010s, the diversification of online shopping business models, intensifying competition, and the proliferation of competition accelerated the entry of offline shopping retailers. During the analysis period from 2001 to 2016, the performance of the Non-­store e-commerce business was statistically better than that of the offline shopping retail business, department stores, general retailers, and small­-sized retailers. As expected, a significant difference between performance and some of the indicators of growth and activity could be seen because of the capital and operating structure of the retail industry. In particular, the Non-store e-commerce businesses have diverse sales media and heterogeneous business models. In this study, we have presented the significance of the differences in the indicators of operating profit and inventory turnover, as well as the discussion required for managing in the future.

The retail industry has been coping with changes in the retail market environment for the past decade or so. Using a total of 14 companies, this study aims to reveal the effect of differences in sales channels and retail business styles on the management performance of retail companies. The financial statements of these companies were used to analyze the five key indicators of their management performance. As research variables, sales channels, retail business style and business period were used as factors affecting their management performance. ANOVA or MANOVA was performed to test differences in management performance between groups according to the number of factors. The effect of three factors on the management performance of retail companies was found to be significant. The multi-comparison test revealed significant differences among retail business styles in terms of the five key indicators. TV home-shopping performed better than others in terms of stability and profitability. Internet and mobile shopping companies performed poorly in terms of profitability compared to others and performed higher than department stores in terms of growth, activity, and productivity.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the location characteristics of convenience stores, a consumption industry that forms a new retail environment and implements unattended, and reveals the geographic factors that affect its location. For this purpose, we first examine the growth and regional distribution of manned convenience stores and then construct a gamma generalized linear regression model that explains the distribution of the unmanned convenience stores as well as the manned and unmanned combined convenience stores. As the result, it was observed that the unmanned convenience stores and the unmanned discount stores are located close to public transportation facilities and they have relatively little movement of the population but they are distributed in areas with a higher density of young residential population and densely distributed retail stores and restaurants. The effects of demographic factors on the location of the unmanned convenience stores and the unmanned discount stores differed according to the scope and characteristics of their sales items. Our findings provide an empirical basis for subsequent academic research as an initial study that identified geographic factors influencing the selection of opening locations for unmanned stores.

우루과이 라운드(UR)의 협상이 체결된 후 한국의 유통시장에서는 편의점, 할인점, 쇼핑센터, 무점포판매 등 다양한 소매업태가 생성되었고, 그러한 소매업태의 발전은 매출액, 종업원수, 매장면적의 증가율에서도 괄목할 만한 성장을 보이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 소매업태의 생성과 발전 과정에서 존재하고 있는 법칙을 찾는데에 초점을 맞춰 기존의 소매업태의 발전 이론의 논리적 특징과 전개방향을 검토하였다. 기존의 연구 성과를 검토한 결과, 1960년부터 최근에 이르기까지 소매업태 발전의 다양한 패턴을 설명하는 포괄적 이론을 제시하고 있지만 그러한 연구 결과는 개념적인 틀의 제시에 머물고 있고, 경험적 연구로의 발전을 보이고 있지 않았다. 그 이유에 대해서는 두 가지를 들 수 있다. 첫 번째, 소매업태에 대한 정의의 불명확함이다. 두 번째, 소매업태의 격 올림을 촉진시키는 내부 요인에 대해서는 논의하고 있지만, 격 올림한 소매업태가 시장에서 수용될 것인지에 대해서는 고려하지 않고 있다는 점이다. 따라서, 이 두 가지 연구 과제를 해결하는 것이 앞으로 소매업태의 생성·발전 이론을 체계화하는 데 관건이 될 것으로 생각된다.

소매점에서 판매를 최대화하여 이익을 극대화하기 위해서는 투자비용을 최소화하고 재고를 최소로 유지하며, 결품을 최소화해서 매출을 보호해야 한다. 수요의 동향이 다양화 됨으로써 예측이 점점 어려워지고, 재고를 최소화하고, 빠른 납기를 충족시키고, 판매 기회의 손실을 최소화 하기란 점점 어려워지고 있다. 또한 매출의 보호와 재고의 축소는 서로 상반되는 내용을 담고 있다. 전통 Industrial Engineering(IE)에서 경제적 주문량(EOQ)을 결정하여 재고 회전율을 높이고 발주 비용과 재고 비용을 최소화하는 연구는 많이 다루어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 TOC의 쓰루풋 증대의 관점에서 최적의 재고 보충 관리 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

최근 소매점 공급사슬을 전체적인 관점에서 효율적으로 운영하기 위하여 공급자가 소매점의 재고를 관리하는 공급자 주도 재고관리(Vendor Managed Inventory; VMI)정책의 도입이 확산되고 있다. VMI 정책은 소매점에서 직접 수행하는 재고관리(Retailer Management Inventory; RMI)와는 달리 소매점의 재고수준에 대한 의사결정과 재고유지에 대한 재정적인 책임이 소매점으로부터 공급자에게 옮겨진다. 이에 따라 소매점은 공급자로부터 수시로 재고를 보충 받게 되고 주문절차는 사라진다. 또한 재고공간의 크기를 줄일 수 있게 된다. 공급자 또한 전체 소매점에 대한 효율적인 분배로써 비용절감의 효과를 기대할 수 있게 된다. 본 연구에서는 품절을 고려하며 소매점의 판매수요가 확정적인 상황에 대하여 RMI와 VMI에 대한 총비용을 최소화하는 수리모델을 통해 총비용 관점에서 RMI와 VMI정책을 비교하고자 한다. 계산실험을 통해 RMI와 VMI의 총비용 변화에 민감한 요인들을 분석하였고 VMI 적용으로 총비용을 절감시키기 위한 조건을 모색하였다. 실험결과, VMI의 적용은 항상 총비용 절감 효과를 나타내는 것이 아님을 확인 하였고 RMI에 대한 VMI의 총비용 증감효과는 RMI 정책의 소매점 주문비와 VMI정책의 소매점 재고공간의 크기 변화에 가장 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 토대로 간단한 소매점 공급사슬에 대해서 VMI의 총비용 감소조건을 제시하였다.

This study evaluates the potential by Chines region for entry of Korean logistics companies and retailers. The variables affecting e-commerce business and retail sales concerning the Chinese omni-channel market were extracted from a thorough literature review. Empirical analyses for variables based on 31 regions in China were performed. Results show that e-commerce is affected by disposable income and internet traffic and that retail sales are affected by urban and rural population, GRDP and urbanization. In addition, we performed variance decomposition analysis in order to estimate responses of logistics GDP(transport, storage and communication) and the number of Chinese mobile users. Exogenous shocks to logistics GDP and the number of mobile phone users play a strong role in explaining the forecast error of express service variance over time. Based on our results, we suggest 7 potential regions(Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Beijing, Shanghai, Liaoning and Shandong) as well as managerial implications for entry into China for logistics companies and retailers.

The aim of this study is to consider the degree of supply-demand balance in relation to the characteristics of retail sale activities in depopulation aging regions and the degree of aging by using simple regression analysis. The major findings of this study are as follows. While aging society, and aged society regions show a similar major retail sale industries, super-aged society shows fewer major industries and different industry composition. These characteristics are seen by different phenomenon and the background of the particular retail structure. The first one is that the number of employees per establishment increases when the aging phenomenon is not accelerated, and the annual sales per capita purchasing power decrease because their purchasing power becomes lower when the aging phenomenon is severe, but it also shows a high density of establishments because disperse location of establishment within depopulation aging region. The second one is the retail structure with high labor productivity in a aged and superaged society region. We identify the extent of demand and supply in general retails, fuel retails, food and beverage, and tobacco retails which represent the highest sales rates in depopulation aging region. As a result, general retails are seen as 'supply-demand balance region' in aged and super-aged society, fuel retail sales in aged and super-aged society which generally shows less sales, and food and beverages, and tobacco retails in super-aged society. The higher the degree of aging is, the less the regional differences in the gap between demand and supply is. This is because the difference in purchasing power between these regions is small.
