Purpose - This study aimed to analyze the strategy of late domestic entrants into the Chinese retail market, focusing on the case of Lotte-Mart, given that there are few studies on market entry strategies of domestic retail companies in China. Research Design, data, methodology - The methodology of this paper is a case study approach, focusing on literature reviews and a few interviews. We conducted a survey by disseminating questionnaires and conducting interviews focusing on the Chinese retail market, and analyzed Lotte-Mart's market entry strategy in China. Results - Lotte-Mart chose M&A as the mode of entry, pursuing quick market entry and rapid expansion. It chose small to medium size cities with relatively less competition. Subsequently, Lotte-Mart devoted significant effort towards localization, attempting to organize stores and assorting products to fit the Chinese consumers' preferences. It operated CSR programs to increase its brand awareness and to create a favorable brand image. Conclusions - Lotte-Mart now needs to devise alternative corporate strategies for business expansion and growth. An understanding of the Chinese retail market and the case study analysis of Lotte-Mart's market entry strategy offers significant insights for domestic retail companies looking to expand into China.

최근 국내 할인점시장이 포화상태에 근접하고 있다는 인식과 할인점간 경쟁이 심화 되면서 중국 등 주변 국가들로의 출점이 본격적으로 확대되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 상황에서 한국과 중국 소비자의 점포선택속성 및 요인에 있어서 어떠한 차이가 있으며, 그 차이를 야기하는 요인이 무엇인지를 살펴보는 데 연구의 목적을 두었다. 한·중양국의 할인점을 이용하는 소비자를 대상으로 할인점선택 시 주요 속성인 환경, 입지, 가격, 상품, 판촉, 인적 서비스 등 6개 요인에 대한 t-test를 실시하였다. 분석결과 할인점 이용에 있어서 한국인과 중국인의 할인점선택속성 6개의 요인 중 할인점의 입지 및 할인점의 가격에 대하여 한국인과 중국인 두 집단 간의 선택속성에서 유의적인 차이를 보였으나, 나머지 4개의 속성요인은 대부분이 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 중심으로 중국시장 진출시 공통적으로 적용해야할 요인과, 국가별 특성에 따라 차별화해야할 전략적 시사점을 도출하였다.

The influence of tourists on the retail market in Korea continues to grow, and China has become the largest outbound-spending nation in the world. Korea's retail industry must comprehend the sophisticated consumption behavior of Chinese tourists. Hence, we explored how the experiential value of shopping in Korea affected Chinese tourists' satisfaction levels regarding stores and products. Findings from this study suggest entertainment and escapism mediate the effect of experiential value on consumer attitudes toward products and stores. This research was conducted with Chinese female tourists who shopped in Korea during their latest visit to this country. CFA and SEM were implemented using AMOS 20.0. The analysis of survey data produced interesting results. Visual appeal, crowding, and service excellence had positive impacts on entertainment, and they had a positive influence on both store satisfaction and product satisfaction. Regarding escapism, crowding and economic benefits had positive impacts, whereas visual appeal and service excellence had no effects. Results showed that escapism had a negative influence on attitudes toward both products and stores. To be clear, escapism refers to the status of absorption by which consumers are highly occupied with pleasant feelings, therefore, shopping when the motive of escapism is high is likely to be less rational and more impulsive. In this study, the diverse roles of different emotions associated with entertainment and escapism in the context of tourism shopping were identified. The findings provide practical implications for developing retail strategies and highlight the importance of the experiential values of shopping for tourists.
