The purpose of the study was to investigate customer loyalty programs of diverse types of retailers. As offline retailers, department store and discount store retailers were examined, and as nonstore retailers, online store and TV home shopping retailers were investigated. Types of customer loyalty programs were analyzed based on Dowling and Uncles'(1997) loyalty program framework which included two schemes, types of reward(direct versus indirect rewards) and timing of reward(immediate versus delayed rewards). The study found that different types of retailers utilized different types of loyalty programs: Department store used all the type of rewards, discount store focused on direct/immediate rewards, online store retailers used direct/delayed rewards and/or direct/immediate rewards, and TV home shopping retailers focused on direct/delayed rewards. The study provided diverse managerial and academic implications.

The entry of large discount stores into small cities such as Choonchun or Wonju have had a profound impacts on the businesses of small-sized retailers. The impacts of the entry by large discount store will be much larger than those of the entry by department store or other small-scale retailers. Most of research studies on the competitive retail structure focused on the change of retailing in the advanced countries dynamically and investigated macro-trends in sales and market share. As a result, they tend to overlook the micro aspects of consumers" perception and actual behaviors. Furthermore, they tend to limit their research scopes to relatively competitive retailers not to overall competitive structures. In this study, we analyze the overall competitive structures by investigating the retailers" characteristics, perceptions of consumers on retailers and actual purchase of products across different types of retailers We could obtain competitive retail structure. Based on that, we discuss the strategies on the revitalization and enhancement of small-sized retailers" productivities.

The purpose of this study was to investigate competitive structure between the department store and the discount store based on consumers' purchase intention. Female consumers who purchased clothing both in the department store and the discount store participated in the study by completing questionnaires (N=533) . Data were analyzed using factor analyses, paired t-test, Cronbach's $\alpha$, and chi-square analyses. The result was as following: 1 . Overall, the department store and the discount store are competing complementarily. However, this competitive structure varied with clothing items and consumers' age. 2. As a result of factor analyses, the two retailer's service quality could be evaluated with four dimensions: price and A/S, store atmosphere and VMD, store policy, and salesperson. 3. The department store was expected to provide the highest level of service in ‘price and A/S’, ‘store atmosphere and VMD’, ‘salesperson’ whereas the discount store in ‘store policy’ 4. Respondents were classified in four groups according to how frequently they use department store and discount store as following: shopper of both retailers (68.35％), discount store shopper(20.97%), department store shopper(4.70%), shopper of neither retailer(3.97％). Each group showed differences in service satisfaction and demographic characteristics.

The proliferation of the Internet and related technologies has led to a new form of distribution channels, namely online retailers. The conventional offline and the new online retailers have different transaction costs perceived by the consumers in the following perspectives: the accessibility to the product information, the traffic cost and the opportunity cost for the time to visit the store, the delivery time and the possibility of 'touch and feel' to test the quality of the product. In particular, the online retailers have lower distribution cost structure in that they do not have physical stores, which results in lower selling price. Thus they continuously offer price competition against offline retailers using the lower selling cost as competitive weapon. Moreover the emergence of the social commerce is likely to intensify the competition between the online and offline retailers. To survive in this fierce competition, the offline retailers are trying to defend their business interests by sticking to offline transaction in anticipation of increased customer loyalty, customer's preference for 'touch and feel' style shopping, and others. Despite of these efforts, customers who touch and feel a product in an offline store but purchase the product through an online retailer are increasing. To protect such customers, recently, some of the offline retailers began to provide the mobile discount service (MDS) which enables the offline customers to purchase a product at a discounted price through the mobile applications. In business competitions, the price discount strategy is usually considered to secure more market share at the cost of lower profit. In this study, however, we analyze the effect of MDS as a weapon for securing more profit. To do this, we set up a game model between the online and offline retailers which incorporates the effect of the MDS. By numerically analyzing the Nash equilibrium of the game, some managerial implications for using the MDS for more profit are discussed.

LG-mart, E-mart 같은 대형할인점의 중소도시에의 진입은 백화점 또는 소형규모의 할인점 같은 다른 유통형태의 진입때 보다 중소소매상점, 재래시장등에 커다란 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 자금력, 판매력, 구매력, 수요기반 등이 훨씬 열악한 중소도시의 상인들에게는 생존의 문제이다. 이들이 지역경제에 미치는 영향을 고려하여 법적인, 행정적인 규제와 보호만 하는 것은 근본적인 문제를 해결하는 방법이 아닐 수 도 있다. 소비자들은 그들의 욕구를, 충족시키기 위해 구매하지, 중소소매상점, 재래시장 등의 어려움 때문에 구매하지 않기 때문이다. 고객의 욕구와 필요를 만족시키지 못하는 소매업태는 장기적으로 생존할 수 가 없다. 대형할인점의 진입에 따른 재래시장에 미치는 영향을 고찰하기 위해서는 전체적인 유통구조에서, 소비자의 입장에서 제품과 구매장소와의 연관성, 경쟁관계 등을 조사함으로써 유통시장의 현주소를 파악하고, 장기적인 측면에서 재래상가의 활성화방안을 논의하는 것이 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 최종소비자 입장에서 유통구조의 현황을 분석해보고, 이에 관련된 정책의 정당성을 소비자 입장에서 분석해본다.

1997년부터 국내유통시장이 개방된 이래, 국내외의 국적소속으로 국내에서 영업활동을 하는 할인점들은 치열한 시장점유율 쟁탈전을 벌이고 있다. 이처럼 할인점간의 경쟁이 격화되고 있는 시점에서 유통업계의 경영진과 이 분야를 연구하는 학자는 할인점에 대한 만족도와 충성도 등에 대한 심도 있는 이해와 이를 개선하기 위한 노력이 절실히 요망된다. 이런 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 할인점의 점포이미지가 할인점에 대한 소비자의 태도, 만족도 및 재방문의도에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 검토하였다. 부산지역 소비자 416명 을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 시행한 결과, 할인점의 점포이미지는 할인점에 대한 태도와 만족도에 영향을 주지만 할인점의 재방문의도에는 직접적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 할인점에 대한 태도는 할인점에 대한 만족도와는 직접적인 관련성이 없고 할인점의 재방문의도에 보다 직접적으로 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 할인점에 대해 긍정적인 점포이미지를 가진 소비자일수록 할인점에 대해 만족할 가능성이 높고, 이런 만족도는 할인점의 재방문의도에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 연구결과에 따른 이론적 및 실무적 시사점과 본 연구의 한계점 그리고 미래의 연구방향을 제시하였다.

Purpose - Understanding how service convenience drives shopping performance is imperative for retailers such as department and large discount stores. Retailers have to enhance shopping productivity by reducing the costs of shopping, as convenience triggers customers' perceived shopping value, leading to customer satisfaction, and ultimately patronage behavior. Consumers, generally considering time as a scarce resource, are more sensitive to the time costs of tasks in regard to shopping trip, differently from forming perceptions of convenience in time orientation. Therefore, this study attempts to examine the moderating effects of consumers' time orientation on the relationships among service convenience of retailers and shopping performances such as shopping value and service performances. Research design, data, and methodology - The department and discount store chains were chosen as the point of analysis in this study. Data were collected from a survey of real-life consumers and all respondents were screened to ensure only those who had visited in the department and discount store chains within past six month prior to the day of data collection. Out of 600 self-reported surveys that were distributed, a total of 530 responses were returned and after excluding 20 incomplete responses, the final sample size was 510. The three hypotheses were proposed and tested in this study. The one hypothesis was on the moderating effects of time orientation for the effects of service convenience on shopping value (hedonic and utilitarian shopping value). The other two hypotheses were on the comparisons between high and low time-oriented customers with the effects in shopping value from service performance. Hierarchical moderated regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. Results - The results suggest that the effect of service convenience on utilitarian shopping value and the positive effect of utilitarian shopping value on customer satisfaction are greater in low time orientation than high time orientation customers. Conversely, when customers are highly oriented toward time, the effects of hedonic shopping value on customer satisfaction and revisit intention are greater than for customers who are lowly oriented toward time. Conclusions - This study has two-fold significance. First, this study contributes to the consumer behavior and services marketing literature by incorporating customers' time orientation into the service convenience-shopping performance. Although the effect of service convenience on shopping performance might differ from customers' perceptions concerning shopping, there has been little investigation or comparison between customers' perception on time. This study is a first attempt to consider how the effects of service convenience on shopping value and service performance vary with differing levels of customers' time orientation. This study advances prior studies by showing that the service convenience-shopping value and service convenience-service performance relationships vary across different combinations of the customer's time orientation. The findings of this study suggest that the retailers need to enhance the experiential aspects of the stores for their high time-oriented customers. Conversely, for the low time-oriented customers, the retailers should boost the visual distinctiveness and ease of store navigation.
