The overall objective of this article is to identify the strategic type of Korean hospitals in terms of Porter's framework and to examine differences in performance of the hospitals across strategic types. A survey was conducted through structured questionnaire for 739 hospitals in Korea and the data from 120 hospitals were utilized in the final analysis. Study results indicate that the most frequently used strategy was 'stuck-in-the-middle strategy'(26.7%), followed by 'focused cost leadership strategy'(24.0%), 'focused differentiation strategy'(20.8%), 'cost leadership strategy'(15.8%), and 'differentiation strategy'(13.7%). Overall, 'focused differentiation strategy' showed superior performance in terms of profitability of services, ability to retain patients and growth in revenue, while 'differentiation strategy' produced relatively low performance in general. Implications of these findings are also discussed.

Internet-based on-line firms have focused on the development of new business models with an assumption that this new model would create their competitiveness. At the same time, off-line firms have opened new marketing channels on the internet in order to defend their position against on-line firms. Based on Porter's well-known generic strategy, this study compares between on-line firms and on-offline firms i) whether these two types of firms take different strategies among cost reduction, marketing differentiation, innovation differentiation, and focus and ii) how the performance of these two types of firms is affected by different strategy types. The result shows that on-offline firms prefer the strategy of marketing differentiation and innovative differentiation while the strategy of cost reduction and focus are taken without significant difference between online firms and on-offline firms. Also it is found that even though the strategy of marketing differentiation and innovation differentiation are more preferred by on-offline firms than on-line firms, these two strategy types have a significant influence on the on-line firms' performance while the focus strategy has a significant influence on the on-offline firms' performance. Other managerial implications are discussed.

Since service innovation is considered as a new way to gain an advantage in a highly competitive environment, it is imperative for companies to align their service innovation strategy with their business strategy in order to achieve better firm performance. Accordingly, a critical challenge facing firms is how to effectively organize and manage a well-planned service innovation strategy in accordance with the direction of their business strategy. Firms with a good fit between business strategy (i.e., cost leadership, innovative differentiation, and marketing differentiation strategies) and service innovation strategy (service creation-focused, service delivery-focused, and client interface-focused strategies) are expected to have better firm performance than those without such a fit. Based on empirical data from 209 service firms in South Korea, this study aims first to investigate whether a certain service innovation strategy is more effective than others within a particular business strategy. We then examine whether their effective alignment positively affects firm performance. The empirical evidence indicates that the alignment of service innovation strategy with business strategy significantly influences firm performance. The adoption of service innovation strategy was found to have positive effects on firm performance with innovative differentiation and marketing differentiation strategies and negative effects with cost leadership strategy. Lastly, we discuss our study's implications for further research and practice.

This study is an exploratory research on the brand architecture of Korean apparel enterprises and the differentiation strategy among in-house competing brands. For data analysis, secondary data was used. 20 apparel enterprises were used as the subjects. The results are as following. First, as a result of brand architecture composition, apparel enterprises used the strategy that initially paved the way launching several brands in a specific item category and after that diversified to other categories. Most enterprises used the multi-brand strategy operating plural brands in a same zoning. The terms for launching succeeding brands were about $1{\sim}5$ years. Second, as a result of analysing the cases which several brands competes within a same zoning, all the posterior brands had some differences from the prior ones. The most frequent differentiation factor was price. Concept, target age, and distribution channel followed. The order of the factors was somewhat different among the item categories. The differentiation strategy among in-house competing brands meant that the enterprises manage plural brands in a same zoning for the growth of whole market share instead of the direct competition among in-house brands. The results of this study can suggest a growth direction to the enterprises planning to launch new brands.

본 연구는 일반적인 중기업과 소기업을 통하여 경영전략과 혁신활동을 통해 궁극적으로 경영성과에 미치는 영향에 관한 통합적인 인과관계를 실증적으로 분석하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 본 연구 대상은 서울 경기지역 소재의 중소기업에 재직중인 종사자를 대상으로 이루어졌으며, 최종적으로 총 328부가 분석에 사용 되었다. 연구가설을 위한 자료 분석을 위해 SPSS Statistics 22.0과 AMOS 22.0 통계프로그램을 사용하였으며, 가설검증을 위한 분석방법으로 구조방정식 모형을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 첫째, 경영전략 요인과 혁신활동, 경영성과의 상관관계 분석 결과 혁신활동과 상관이 높은 요인으로는 기술차별화 전략, 마케팅차별화 전략, 원가주도 전략으로 나타났으며, 경영성과와 상관이 높은 요인으로는 마케팅차별화 전략, 기술차별화 전략, 원가주도 전략으로 나타났다. 둘째, 혁신활동에 영향을 미치는 경영전략 요인으로 마케팅 차별화 전략, 기술차별화 전략, 원가주도 전략의 순으로 나타났으며, 경영성과에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 마케팅차별화 전략과 원가주도 전략만 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 경영성과에 기술차별화 전략이 직접적으로 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 분석되었으나, 기술차별화 전략과 경영성과의 관계에서 혁신활동이 완전매개하는 효과가 있음을 밝혀내었다. 본 연구에서 이러한 결과들을 종합하면 기업의 혁신활동이 마케팅차별화와 기술차별화 전략으로 연계되어야만 경영성과에 기여할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다고 볼 수 있다. 최근 중소기업들은 경영환경의 악화로 스스로의 핵심역량으로는 기술혁신, 생산혁신, 경영전반의 혁신을 꾀하기 어렵다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 중소기업의 경영전략은 혁신 활동을 통해 경영성과를 창출할 수 있다는 것이 확인되었다.

Differentiation strategies have been suggested as the critical sources of competitive advantage in B2C industry where customers can switch internet shopping mall with one click with virtually no transaction cost. Indeed, competition on low pricing cannot be a viable strategy in B2C industry. Moreover, cultivating customer loyalty to attain profitability is still a challenging task for most internet shopping mall. In this study, we provide empirical analysis results on key managerial variables that indicate the difference between the product categories in terms of customer perception on relative value importance. We first identified comprehensive managerial variables and organized them in terms of customer decision stage. Next, with reference to extant literatures on product characteristics based e-commerce strategy, hypotheses are developed to formalize the customer value differences on the key managerial variables. Empirical testing results indicated that there are significant differences on customer perceived value of the key managerial variables between the product groups. The findings provide useful insight for further study on e-commerce differentiation strategy.
