Purpose: This study identifies the critical elements of relationship management required to be studied in distribution sciences to create a relational bond of watch manufacturers with their retailers in India. The offline watch retail market is undergoing a rapid transformation due to technology intervention in the product portfolio and the advent of online retailing. The study identifies the interrelationships amongst the constructs of interdependence, trust, affective commitment, and information exchange to form long-lasting relational bonds in the watch industry. Research design, data and methodology: We used a path analysis to investigate the relationship between interdependence, trust, affective commitment, and information exchange. Data has been collected from 143 watch retailers using judgmental sampling method. Results: The data analysis suggested the establishment of measurement and structural model. The absolute and relative goodness of fit models in the causal analysis are 0.628 and 0.959 suggesting a sufficient fit index. Based on the analysis of direct and indirect effects, the results indicate that trust fully mediates the effect of interdependence and information exchange of retailers with the manufacturer. Conclusions: Trust plays an important role in driving commitment and information exchange between watch manufacturers and retailers. Interdependence in the manufacturer-channel relationships would lead to affective commitment only when trust exists in the relationship. [AMAWATE, Vibhas.] in Web of Science and Scopus).

Purpose - New technologies allow service providers to integrate all the customer information within and between contact channels so that they can offer individualized services. The availability of new mobile devices enables retailers to interact with customers through countless channels (Rigby, 2011). The objective of this research is to examine customers' attitudes toward O2O (on-line to off-line) services and their intention to use based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Research design, data, and methodology - Utilizing the TAM model, the mediating effect of the users' attitudes toward O2O services on the relationship among perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived risks and intention to use are to be investigated. Results - The result shows that the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived risks have a significant effect on customers' attitudes toward O2O services. It is also revealed that the attitude toward O2O services has a mediating effect among perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived risks and intention to use. Conclusions - The boundary between on-line and off-line is eroding and various services based on the O2O platform are growing. The results of this study and managerial implications can be applied to O2O platform operators or enterprises planning to sharp on their competitiveness edge through offering variations of service channels.

본 연구의 목적은 소비자의 쇼핑 시 소비자의 상품(식품) 선택 특성이 온, 오프라인의 업태별 선호도와 옴니채널 선호도에 영향을 미치는가를 분석하여 유통업체의 마케팅 전략 수립에 시사점을 얻기 위함이다. 연구모형은 소비자의 식품 선택 특성이 각각 업태별 선호도와 옴니채널 선호도에 미치는 영향으로 구성 되었다. 총 477부의 설문조사를 토대로 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, (1) 식품의 선도, (2) 맛, (3) 품질, 안전, (4) 시식시음, (5) 식품의 기능 및 정보, (6) 원산지, (7) 브랜드 충성도의 7가지 특성을 활용한 식품 구매 특성은 업태별로 다양하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 채택된 가설은 브랜드 충성도(5회), 선도(3회), 시식 시음(3회), 원산지(1회) 순으로 선정이 된 것으로 보아 식품의 선택요인은 (1) 어떤 브랜드 인가, (2) 얼마나 선도가 좋은가, (3) 시식 시음으로 먹어보고 구입 한다, (4) 원산지는 확인 한다 로 압축이 되며 실제 소비자가 식품 쇼핑 시에도 7가지를 모두 활용 한다기보다는 업태별 특성에 맞는 핵심적인 선택 요인만 활용하는 것으로 보여진다. 편의점은 3개 요인이 영향을 미치고 나머지 업태는 1~2요인만 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 옴니채널 선호도 분석에 있어서 식품의 선택 특성이 제한적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나왔으며 이는 옴니채널의 개념을 소비자가 아직 명확하게 이해하지 못하는 것에 기인한다고 보여진다. 셋째, 본 연구의 분석결과는 업태 별로 다양한 영향을 미치는 식품의 선택 특성을 업태별 마케팅 전략에 반영을 할 필요성이 있다는 점과 옴니채널 이용 소비자는 식품의 품질 및 안전을 중시하고 시식을 통해 상품을 확인하고, 어느 곳에서도 신뢰를 할 수 있는 브랜드를 추구하여 온 오프라인을 동시에 이용하는 합리적인 소비를 하기 때문에 옴니채널은 합리성을 추구하는 고객이 선호도가 높을 것이라는 시사점을 제공한다. 향후 유통업의 옴니체널 전략은 많은 어려움이 예상되며, 본 연구는 유통의 패러다임을 바꾸게 되는 옴니채널을 식품의 선택특성을 활용하여 처음으로 연구를 시도한 것에 의의가 있다.

Purpose - During the last two years, convenient stores (CS) are emerging as one of the most fast-growing retail trades in Korea. The goal of this work is to forecast and to analyze sales at CS using ARIMA-Intervention model (IM) and exponential smoothing method (ESM), together with sales at supermarkets in South Korea. Considering that two retail trades above are homogeneous and comparable in size and purchasing items on off-line distribution channel, individual behavior and characteristic can be detected and also relative superiority of future growth can be forecasted. In particular, the rapid growth of sales at CS is regarded as an everlasting external event, or step intervention, so that IM with season variation can be examined. At the same time, Winters ESM can be investigated as an alternative to seasonal ARIMA-IM, on the assumption that the underlying series shows exponentially decreasing weights over time. In case of sales at supermarkets, the marked intervention could not be found over the underlying periods, so that only Winters ESM is considered. Research Design, Data, and Methodology - The dataset of this research is obtained from Korean Statistical Information Service (1/2010~7/2016) and Survey of Service Trend of Korea Statistics Administration. This work is exploited time series analyses such as IM, ESM and model-fitting statistics by using TSPLOT, TSMODEL, EXSMOOTH, ARIMA and MODELFIT procedures in SPSS 23.0. Results - By applying seasonal ARIMA-Intervention model to sales at CS, the steep and persisting increase can be expected over the next one year. On the other hand, we expect the rate of sales growth of supermarkets to be lagging and tied up constantly in the next 2016 year. Conclusions - Based on 2017 one-year sales forecasts for CS and supermarkets, we can yield the useful information for the development of CS and also for all retail trades. Future study is needed to analyze sales of popular items individually such as tobacco, banana milk, soju and so on and to get segmented results. Furthermore, we can expand sales forecasts to other retail trades such as department stores, hypermarkets, non-store retailing, so that comprehensive diagnostics can be delivered in the future.

본 연구는 농산물 직거래에서 큰 비중을 차지하는 농협 상설매장에 대한 소비자의 이용실태와 평가에 대해서 분석해 보고, 농협 상설매장의 활성화 방안을 모색해 보고자 하였다. 농협 상설매장을 이용하는 소비자 257명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과 하나로마트는 근린 생식품 매장으로, 하나로클럽은 농산물 및 식품류 할인매장으로 고객들에게 인식되고 있었다. 전반적으로 도시의 소비자들은 거리가 가깝거나 농협이라는 이름이 주는 신뢰성 때문에 농협의 상설매장을 이용할 의사는 높은 편이었다. 농협 상설매장이 믿을 수 있는 농산물의 전문소매점으로서 확실히 자리잡을 수 있다면 경쟁력 있는 농산물 직거래의 경로가 될 수 있을 것이다. 그러나, 조사의 결과에서도 드러났듯이 다른 소매점에 비해 투자가 적고 전문인력이 부족하여 농협매장에 대한 고객만족도는 그리 높지는 않았다. 매장 속성별로 매장의 소프트웨어적인 면(예: 판매원의 친절, 영업시간, 점포의 명성 등)에서는 고객들이 만족하고 있지만 하드웨어적인 면(예: 주차, 편의/부대시설, 셔틀버스 등)에서는 상대적으로 고객만족도가 낮거나, 타 점포와의 비교 우위도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 농협에서 이왕 소매사업에 뛰어들었다면 농협 상설매장의 활성화를 위해 많은 노력이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 농협 상설매장 활성화를 위한 전략적 시사점과 개선방안을 제시하였고, 연구의 한계와 향후 연구방향을 끝으로 제시하였다.
