본 연구는 기업의 이윤에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 거래비중을 결정하는 데 있어, 고객가치가 갖는 영향력 및 고객가치 향상을 위해 해당 기업이 갖춰야 할 요건이 무엇인가를 규명하고 있다. 대부분의 기업 간 관계가 복수의 형태를 취하고 있는 현실에 비해, 가치의 선행요소를 규명하는 데 있어서 기존의 연구들은 주로 이원적인 관계에 국한된 연구를 수행함으로써, 실제 유통경로가 처한 상황을 충분히 설명하지 못한다는 한계가 있어왔다. 본 연구에서는 기업의 가치창출 활동이 경쟁우위와 관련되어 있다는 전략이론의 관점을 바탕으로 가치의 선행요소를 규명하고 있다. 연구 결과 가치의 구성요소인 관계혜택과 거래비용은 기업의 거래비중을 결정하는데 결정적인 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 관계혜택이 거래비용에 비해 상대적으로 더 큰 영향력을 갖는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 가치의 선행요소에 있어서는 기업이 가진 자원에 초점을 맞춘 Resource-based view를 기반으로 한 변수들에 비해, 다른 기업과의 관계에 주목한 Relational view에 관련된 변수들이 고객가치 창출에 더 큰 영향력을 갖고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 추가적으로 행해진 환경의 불확실성의 조절효과를 규명 결과, 환경의 불확실성은 주로 Relational view를 기반으로 하는 관계적 특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

This study is important in its focus to find key clues in the marketing strategy, consumer behavior, and communication processes that define the infantile obesity market. The study, the first of its kind, surveyed a target audience, purchasing group, and housewives in their quest to determine purchasing decisions and effective branding strategy planning for the infantile obesity market. Another key component of the study was to focus on the key direct and/or indirect distribution channels for the subject market. Recently, obesity has emerged as a major social concern; some studies show that the onslaught of an adverse eating culture in Korea emanates from the prevalence of fast-food dining establishments. Obesity among children leads to adult obesity, especially if the young people's parents are overweight; notably, if either one or both of the parents are obese, the percentage of young people eventually being obese is approximately 80 to 85 percent. Because obesity is the cause of many major health concerns later in life, the struggle for a healthy life is considerably adversely affected by parents' consumer behavior. Infantile obesity, resulting in adult obesity, is also an important national economic and social issue. The sizable direct and indirect economic costs, as well as the tremendous social costs of obesity, cannot be overstated. Effective food branding and advertising centered on food preferences and dietary behaviors, especially to children, creates an effective marketing effort that, ultimately, leads to positive results. Thus, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the treatment of childhood obesity in Korea, through the activation of a brand and retail market, can effectively solve social and economic problems that result from infantile and childhood obesity. In this study, obesity markets and distribution channels in the purchase decision-making factors determining factor based on it effective inspection and branding strategies and brand marketing communications strategy proposed measures contribute to the obesity drug market and further enable the childhood obesity problem is intended to assist in solving.

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.
