Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the competitive environment of 7-Eleven using Porter's 5 Force model to analyze the specific competitiveness of 7-Eleven that has maintained continuous growth as a competitive company. Methods: This study is a case study of 7-Eleven. Results: As a result of the analysis, 7-Eleven has reinforced its competitiveness with existing competitors by raising entry barriers by expanding domestic stores and developing overseas convenience store business, focusing on North America, based on economy of scale. In addition, 7-Eleven seeks to differentiate itself from other convenience stores by developing a "private brand" and strengthens its bargaining power with suppliers through the development of new products by gathering information and know-how of experts in product development based on customer needs. The bargaining power with customers has been strengthened by building loyalty and trust in the brand by allowing consumers to purchase the same products at the same price no matter which store they visit. As a threat to potential competitors, 7-Eleven has secured a competition advantage by raising the barrier to entry by concentrating stores in specific areas through a dominant franchise development strategy and increasing awareness of 7-Eleven among consumers. In the case of threats from substitute products, it was confirmed that 7-Eleven has overcome the threat from substitute products by opening 24 hours a day and providing various services such as ATMs and copiers.

Purpose - As the role of salespersons in retail stores has expanded from selling products to sharing brand experiences with customers, the importance of research on the effects of salesperson-brand relationships has grown. The purpose of this research is to investigate the influences of salespersons' brand identification on conceptual fluency and customers' service and brand evaluations. It was supposed that salespersons' brand identification is affected by brand knowledge, which is a core dimension of internal branding. Research design, data, and methodology - The author developed a structural model in which salespersons' brand knowledge influences brand identification, hence customers' perception of salesperson-brand image congruence. And it is hypothesized that salesperson-brand image congruence influences conceptual fluency which affects customers' satisfaction and brand evaluation. Data were collected from five department stores in Seoul. Results - First, salespersons' brand knowledge was found to have a significant effect on brand identification. The more a salesperson knows about the affiliated brand, the higher her level of brand identification. Second, salespersons' brand identification influenced salesperson-brand image congruence. Third, salesperson-brand image congruence had a significant effect on brand conceptual fluency. Customers who perceive salesperson-brand image congruent are more likely to process information easily. Finally, conceptual fluency was found to be a significant determinant of store loyalty and brand value evaluation. Conclusions - The results of this study verify importance of salesperson's brand identification on customers' service and brand evaluations. To enhance salespersons' brand identification, retailers should emphasize the importance of internal branding and communication, especially by sharing brand vision, values, and identity with employees at customer contact points. Also, as brand conceptual fluency is a significant determinant of customer responses, retailers need to deliver consistent messages through various components of store environments, including salespersons' attitudes, appearances, and manners, as well as physical store design. With a deeper understanding of the effects of salesperson-brand relationship and brand conceptual fluency, retailers will be able to create more effective brand strategies to enhance their performances. Future studies should consider data from various retail types, such as discount stores, to generalize the findings.

최근 국내 백화점 산업은 소비패턴의 변화에 의해 고급화와 차별화된 복합쇼핑문화공간으로 성장하고 있으며, 5개 대규모 회사를 중심으로 70개소가 운영되며 경쟁이 가속화되고 있다. 본 연구는 빅데이터 개념의 차량 자동입출차 시스템(pos)를 활용하여 백화점의 방문수요 결정요인을 분석하고, 백화점 산업의 경쟁력 강화를 위한 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석방법은 2021년 신규개점으로 인하여 연간 매출액이 완전치 않은 지점 3곳을 제외한 67개의 지점을 대상으로 어떠한 사건이나 방문에 대한 빈도를 예측할 때 사용되는 음이항 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 백화점 방문수요에 양(+)의 영향을 미치는 변수들은 공항·터미널·기차역 여부, 대지면적, 주차대수, VIP라운지수, 명품매장비율, F&B매장 수, 경기·인천지역인 것으로 나타났으며, 비상업지역 여부, 호텔은 음(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 국내 백화점의 경쟁력 강화방안을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 백화점 소비자들은 명품 브랜드에 대한 선호가 높다. 따라서 백화점은 자체적으로 해외 바이어팀을 구성하여 새로운 명품 브랜드를 발굴하여 유치하고, 고객들의 수요가 높은 명품 브랜드를 유치하는 전략이 필요하다. 또한, 구매력과 충성도 높은 소비자들을 유치하기 위해서는 기존 보다 더 차별화된 VIP 고객들을 위한 상품과 서비스를 제공할 필요성이 높다. 둘째, 신규 백화점 입점은 경기·인천 지역의 기차역, 공항, 터미널과 같은 교통거점 지역을 중심으로 추진하는 것이 바람직하다. 셋째, 백화점은 고급화된 쇼핑센터라는 측면에서 핵심임차인이 중요하므로 소비자의 수준과 선호에 부합하는 테넌트의 유치 전략이 필수적이다. 마지막으로 최고급 쇼핑센터인 백화점은 2021년 개점한 '더 현대'와 같이 차별화된 쇼핑, 문화, 외식과 여가서비스가 함께 제공되는 공간으로 개발되어야 향후 성장가능성이 담보될 수 있다.

기업과 소비자간 전자 상거래 시장이 급속히 성장하고 있으나 많은 전문가들은 아직도 그 잠재력을 충분히 발휘하지 못하고 있다고 주장한다. 이에 대한 이유로 온라인 쇼핑환경이 지니는 인간적 사회적 요소의 부재를 들고 있다. 온라인 쇼핑은 전통적인 면대면 상거래에 비해 보다 비인적이며 익명성이 강해 인간적인 온정과 사회성이 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 전통적 상거래에 비해 온라인 쇼핑이 가지는 태생적 한계인 면대면 사회적 상호작용을 대신할 수 있는 개념으로 사회적 실재감을 도입하여 사회적 실재감의 선 후행변수간의 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 본 연구주제와 관련 있는 마케팅, 심리학, 커뮤니케이션 연구분야의 연구결과들을 고찰하였으며, 이를 기반으로 하여 연구모형을 제시하였다. 제시된 연구모형을 검증하기 위하여 자기 보고식 설문지를 사용하여 자료를 수집하였다. 본 설문의 응답자들은 최소 5회 이상 인터넷 구매를 경험한 소비자들로 구성하였는데, 이는 사회적 실재감에 대한 지각은 인터넷 쇼핑몰과의 잦은 접촉이 있어야만 생길 수 있는 지각으로 판단하였기 때문이다. 실증분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 쇼핑몰의 맞춤화 노력은 지각된 사회적 실재감에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 쇼핑몰의 반응성 역시 지각된 사회적 실재감에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 쇼핑몰은 고객의 요구에 다양한 방법으로 신속하고 성실하게 반응함으로써 사회적 실재감을 높일 수 있다. 셋째, 지각된 게시판 활동성은 사회적 실재감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 쇼핑몰 운영자는 자사 게시판을 적극적으로 활성화하여 소비자의 사회적 실재감을 높일 수 있을 것이다. 마지막으로 지각된 사회적 실재감은 쇼핑몰 신뢰와 즐거움에 영향을 미치고 쇼핑몰 신뢰와 즐거움은 쇼핑몰 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 기존 온라인 쇼핑에 관한 연구의 중심이 되고 있는 쇼핑몰 충성도와 신뢰 형성에 사회적 실재감이 중요한 영향요인임을 의미하는 것으로 쇼핑몰 신뢰와 충성도를 위한 새로운 전략적 시사점을 제공하고 있다고 볼 수 있다.

국내 주요 소매업체들은 정기적인 고객만족조사의 결과를 기반으로 고객만족경영을 추구해왔다. 그러나 고객만족조사의 문제점 가운데 하나는 고객만족조사에 기반하여 추정된 고객만족지수가 고객들의 점포애고행위를 충분히 예측하지 못한다는 것이다. 그 이유로는 고객만족을 측정하는 항목들이 주로 가격이나 고객과의 접점에서 발생하는 기능적 속성(attribute)들로 구성되며, 소비자들이 중요하게 생각하는 정서적 측면의 고객가치를 제대로 반영하지 못하고 있다는 것을 들 수 있다. 본 연구는 쇼핑가치를 Zeithaml(1988)이 제안한 지각된 편익(benefit)과 지불한 비용(cost)에 기초한 소비자의 주관적인 평가로 정의내리고, 이를 모형화하여 측정한다. 기존의 소매점 고객만족조사에서 발견된 문제점을 보완하기 위해 실용적 가치를 반영하는 항목들과 쾌락적 가치를 반영하는 항목들을 지각된 편익에 반영함으로써 고객만족에 대한 설명력을 향상시키고자 했다. 투입되는 비용에 있어서도 금전적 비용 외에 쇼핑과정에서 발생하는 다양한 인지적/시간적 노력을 포함하는 비금전적 비용을 모형에 반영한다. 쇼핑가치에 대한 개념적 틀을 기반으로 쇼핑가치가 고객만족, 그리고 구매빈도나 구매금액과 같은 실제구매행동에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 실증적으로 검토하기 위해 서울 강남권 여성고객들의 백화점 이용실태에 대해 서베이조사를 실시하고, 이 자료에 근거해 쇼핑가치와 소비자의 구매행동간의 관계를 실증분석하였다. 분석결과 고객들이 해당 백화점에 대한 쇼핑가치를 높게 평가할수록 만족도도 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또 고객만족도는 구매빈도와 구매금액으로 측정된 구매행동에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 5개의 가치차원 중 쾌락적 편익, 서비스, 그리고 비금전적 비용이 유의하게 고객만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 금전적 비용은 고객만족에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose - This study was based on a theoretical consideration of the structural relationship between the support and control of the franchisor and the satisfaction and strategic response (voice, loyalty, exit, neglect) of the franchisee. First, based on the preceding research, this study systematically organized the type of support and control of the franchisor. Second, the study examined the effects of a franchisor's support and control on the expectancy disconfirmation between affiliated franchisees' expectations before a franchise agreement and performance after operating an affiliated store. Third, the study looked into the effects of expectancy disconfirmation relating to a franchisor's support and control on an affiliated franchisees' general satisfaction. Fourth, this study examined the influence of the general satisfaction of a franchisee on affiliated franchisees' response strategies. Research design, data, and methodology - In this study, the population comprised the nation's franchisors, and the sample comprised franchisees conducting business in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. A self-administered questionnaire was used; the author and examiner explained the study's parameters to the interviewees in advance, to lessen the rate of rejection of the answers and to maintain reliability. The author distributed 350 copies of the questionnaire and collected 327 copies (93.4%). The author removed 54 copies of the sample, as these copies belonged to franchisees that were not registered by the Fair Trade Commission and/or were thought to have either defects or inadequate answers. The author selected an effective sample of 273 copies to enter data and to do the statistical analysis. Results - Both a reliability analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis were performed to measure reliability and validity, and a structural equation model was used to conduct the hypothesis test and investigate the models. The hypothesis was tested (Table 5). The models had a suitable fit, for instance, χ² = 447.663(df = 212, p = .000), χ²/df = 2.112, GFI = .881, AGFI = .858, RMR = .083, RMSEA = .067, NFI = .932, and CFI = .961. The hypothesis test results were as follows. Hypothesis 1 was accepted (C.R. = -2.339, p = .019). Hypothesis 2 was accepted (C.R. = 15.213, p = .000). Hypothesis 3 was accepted (C.R. = -2.631, p = .006). Hypothesis 4 was accepted (C.R. = 16.271, p = .000). Hypothesis 5 was accepted (C.R. = 2.391, p = .017). Hypothesis 6 was accepted (C.R. = 5.777, p = .000). Hypothesis 7 was accepted (C.R. = 17.153, p = .000). Hypothesis 8 was accepted (C.R. = 24.746, p = .000). Hypothesis 9 was accepted (C.R. = -10.150, p = .000). Hypothesis 10 was accepted (C.R. = -12.124, p = .000). Conclusions - The research results showed that expectations for a franchisor's support and control had a significant influence on expectation disconfirmation in a negative way, whereas the performance of support and control were found to have a significant influence on expectation disconfirmation in a positive way. In addition, the expectation disconfirmation of support and control was found to have a significant influence on satisfaction of franchisees in a positive way. Generally, regarding the research on control, control is found to have a negative influence on the satisfaction of franchisees, but this study proves that control is found to affect it in a positive way through conformity.
