The purpose of this study is to derive the factors for the general consumers to choose the store to buy seafood. Survey on 414 general consumers by questionnaires was conducted to find out the factors for them to choose the stores in the traditional market and large supermarket, and through the analysis on the results the factors for general consumers to choose large supermarkets were derived when they buy seafood and at the same time the degree of its importance was analyzed. The results of the survey showed that the general consumers chose large supermarkets to buy seafood despite the fact that they recognized the seafood prices are lower in the traditional markets than in the large supermarkets. Particularly, the results of analyzing the sixteen criteria for choosing the store in which to buy seafood were grouped into four: the 'assortment of goods and high quality', 'service', 'price and promotion' and 'convenient accessibility.' The results of examining the order of priority based on the four factors showed that the 'assortment of diverse seafood and high quality' was found to be given the first priority, followed by 'convenient accessibility' and 'prices and promotion factors', with 'service' being statistically insignificant. Based on these results, Monroe (1975)'s consumers' store choice process is summarized as follows. Before buying seafood, the consumers who use large supermarkets have the desire for buying seafood and then judge the properties of the store which they will use. In this process, consumers were satisfying their needs in large supermarkets in the criteria of 'assortment of diverse seafood and high quality', convenient accessibility', and 'prices and promotion factors' which were found to be statistically significant in this research. Accordingly, the general consumers choose to buy seafood in large supermarkets rather than in the traditional markets. The general consumers were more satisfied with using large supermarkets than using traditional markets, so after they have initially bought seafood in the large supermarkets, they habitually buy seafood in the large supermarkets without going through Monroe (1975)'s 'eight stage process for the store choice.' When such habitual store choice behavior continues for a long time, it results in becoming structural.

Purpose - Consumers heuristically have a specific stereotype on the price level of individual retail format because each format provides them with a different level of purchase satisfaction and emotional benefits. However, if price image which is consumers' overall impression of the aggregate price level of a retailer does not match with their expectations, its price level would be perceived as unfair. It will eventually lead to dissatisfaction and decreased revisit intention. Focused on department store and discount store, this study was designed to verify whether the price fairness plays a role of mediating effect on two influential relationships between price image and post-purchase satisfaction, and price image and repatronage intention. Research design, data, and methodology - A main survey was conducted to 140 students and 128 effective responses were used for the related analysis. T-test, factor analysis, reliability test, and mediated regression analysis were performed. Six hypotheses were developed to examine the mediating effect of price fairness on the two influential relationships between price image and post-purchase satisfaction, and price image and repatronage intention. It was also examined whether the price image of two different retail format is formed differently or not. Results - People perceived the price images of the two retail formats differently. Overall price level of department store is much higher than that of discount store. Analysis results showed that price image did not solely have a significant influence on post-purchase satisfaction unless price fairness as a mediating variable is added. Price fairness turned out to be having a significant influence on relationship between price image and repatronage intention. It influences on repatronage intention directly and also via price fairness. Conclusions - Post-purchase satisfaction can be achieved only if people perceive the price image as fair no matter how the price level is high or low according to traits of retail formats. If they think it's not fair, they would disapprove of the rightness for the price image, and also express their dissatisfaction with it. Consumers willingly make repeated visits to a store if they are convinced of appropriate price level which is perceived as fair, and if they experienced a satisfaction with overall benefits a particular store offered.

Purpose - In general, large companies have larger organizations, funds, and systems to provide more effective and efficient services in the market. However, development needs to support the livelihood of ordinary citizens who work for small businesses as well. This research suggests that a new distribution channel, called a "foothold style Kosa mart," that cooperates jointly with a distribution center and a large discount mart can provide direct solutions to small and mid-size distributors. This new distribution channel can achieve a limited type of "Nadle shop (small supermarket) foster project" related to building a joint distribution center and improvement in wholesale supply. Research design, data, and methodology - Data about the Korea distribution situation, the Nadle stores, and the logistics centers were collected from literature, Statistics Korea, journals, and reports. Specifically, we investigated information about Kosa Mart and Nadle stores. We focused on the redesign of the distribution center for the Nadle store. Results - The Kosa Mart distribution center now includes 18 warehouses, and has been handling 2000-3000 items. Most of the warehouses have been simply designed and items loaded and stored without refrigeration; thus, it is possible to store only products of certain manufactured goods. The current logistics center has no wholesale function because it failed to resolve the joint purchasing and product supply issues of competitively priced products. Conclusions - This study aimed to identify ways to strengthen the competitiveness of small- and medium-sized retailers. A Kosa Mart redesign aims to unifying the logistics center, stores, and customers. First, the joint wholesale logistics system, equipped with an integrated ordering system, needs to process customer orders and store orders at the same time. Second, excellent small business product development has to connect with production. Third, the store composition needs to support a shipping hub. Fourth, the Mart differentiates itself from convenience store goods by supplying regional and specialized products to customers. Fifth, a service buying agent and direct transactions between producers and consumers need to be established, and exhibits and displays of goods need to be improved.

본 논문은 고급화된 대형마트 즉 '한국형 할인점'이라는 독특한 업태 컨셉에 보다 적합한 서비스 품질 측정 적도를 연구하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 반복적 FGI와 대형 할인점 방문 소비자 604명을 대상으로 정량적 리서치를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 '한국형 할인점'의 서비스 품질은 본원적 혜택, 프로모션, 인적상호작용, 물리적 측면, 정책, 부가적 편의성의 총 6개 차원, 24개 항목으로 이루어진 측정모형이 도출되었다. 기존의 소매 서비스 품질의 대표적 측정 모형인 RSQS 측정모형과 비교해 보면 3가지 자원(인적상호작용, 물리적 측면, 정책)은 공통적이며, 나머지 차원에서 문제해결은 인적상호작용으로 통합되었으며, 신뢰성은 단일차원성이 결여되어 제거되었다. 특히 본원적 혜택은 할인점의 업태특성을 대표하는 성과품질로서 도출되었으며, 정책 자원은 '재방문 의도'에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 중요한 서비스 품질 자원으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 수정, 보완된 측정도구는 한국형 할인점을 이용하는 고객의 최신 트랜드를 반영하여 업버전 하였다는 것이 그 특징이다. 그 결과 향후 소매 시장 포화상황에서 치열한 서비스 경쟁을 벌여야하는 한국의 대형마트와 기타 소매업체에 전략적 시사점을 주고 있다.

본 연구에서는 유통시장 개방 시기를 전후하여 일어난 소매환경 변화에 따른 대전광역시(이하, 대전시)의 소매업 변화와 그 결과 달라진 종합소매점들의 공간구조를 고찰하였다. 유통시장 완전개방이후 본격화된 국내 대형할인점 성장으로 소매업 구조와 소매공간구조가 달라졌으며, 1996년과 2001년을 비교해 본 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대형할인점의 성장에 따라 소매업 내 종합소매점의 비중이 증가하였다. 둘째, 종합소매업 각 업태들은 차별적인 성장 패턴을 보이고 있다. 셋째, 종합소매업의 업체수는 뚜렷한 집중지역은 나타나지 않지만 대부분 지역에서 감소하였고. 매출액은 원도심에서 신도심으로 그 중심이 바뀌었을 뿐 아니라 그 규모도 증가하였다. 차후소매공간구조 연구에서는 지역성에 따른 상품구색과 같은 보다 다양한 변수를 고려해야 할 것이다.
