소셜미디어(social media) 플랫폼의 인기와 성공은 새로운 비즈니스 모델인 소셜커머스를 창출하게 되었다. 공동구매를 통해 파격적인 가격으로 제품이나 서비스를 제공하는 소셜커머스 시장은 계속적으로 주목할 만한 성장을 하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 성장의 이면에 소비자들의 회의적인 시각도 존재한다. 왜냐하면, 구입한 제품이나 서비스가 실제와는 다르거나, 불합리한 환불정책 등으로 소비자들의 불만이 고조되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 근원적인 이유는, 소셜커머스 마켓에서 소비자들이 의존할 만한 신뢰형성메커니즘이 제공되지 않고 있기 때문이다. 기존의 e-마켓플레이스에서는 판매자(seller)에 대한 구매자의 평가정보가 일종의 신뢰형성메커니즘을 제공하여 거래의 안정성이 보장되었다. 이러한 점에 착안하여, 본 연구에서는 소셜커머스마켓에서 소비자들에게 물건이나 서비스 정보제공에 있어서 일종의 큐레이터 역할을 하는 MD(merchandiser)의 역할에 주목하고, 신뢰형성메커니즘을 기반으로 MD에 대한 피드백코멘트와 MD의 실적프로파일 정보의 제공이 소비자들에게 어떠한 영향을 주는가를 검증한다. 이를 위해, 124명의 참가자가 실험실(laboratory experiment)연구에 참여하였다. 실험분석결과, MD에 대한 피드백코멘트와 실적프로파일이 소셜커머스 거래에서 신뢰를 높이는 것으로 나타났다.

Fashion merchandiser profession is a highly information-intensive job. In fact, a merchandiser is to acquire a variety of information mainly from external environment and to analyze it in order to come to an informed decision. Despite a significant amount of past studies on environment scanning, their main concern was of managerial work. And, some fashion design studies have only touched the issue of information source in a descriptive tone. Here, we attempt to analyze empirically fashion merchandisers' environmental scanning activities. Our results can be stated as follows : 1) Though the quality of information source has a positive relationship with its use, the accessibility does not. 2) There is no significant difference between the use of relational source and the use of non-relational source. 3) Internet is being used more at the initial stage(opening) of information seeking than at the orientation and consolidation stage.

Many theorists have been asserting the advantageous of jikmeip system and disadvantageous of tukjeongmeip system in terms of competitiveness enhancement. But, department store is a business status where service is emphasized instead of price, it is advantageous to secure service competitiveness rather than price competitiveness. Therefore, by utilizing the professional merchandisers of the supplier even without having its own, the department store will keep the advantageous stand unless it is not a large buying system. Due to many items under control, distribution companies usually have limited source of professional merchandiser for each product. Thus, no matter how the importance of MD has been forced, when considering the practical situation, the tukjeongmeip will always have the competitiveness over the jikmeip.

South Korea has allowed parallel importation since 1995. Parallel importation causes competition among importers in the logistics process allowing, consumers to purchase foreign brand products at low prices. Most parallel importers base product pricing on subjective judgements. Fashion products in particular, have different sales rates depending on trends and seasons, so sales performance varies greatly depending on selling price timing and policy. The merchandiser (MD) set the price on parallel importation products by aggregating information on imported products and pricing goods. However, this customized process is very time consuming for the MD. This is because the logistics process of parallel importation's customs clearance procedures and repair works is complicated and takes a significant amount of time. In this paper, we propose an improved parallel importation logistics process based on big data, which automatically sets the price of parallel importation products.

대표적인 지불브로커 시스템인 SET의 서명 방식 중 이중 전자서명 방식은 사용자의 지불 정보(신용카드 번호 등)는 상점에 노출되지 않고, 사용자의 주문 정보는 은행에 노출되지 않게하여 사용자의 프라이버시를 지켜주는 것이다. 이러한 서명 방식은 전자상거래의 활성화로 그 필요성이 대두되었다. 하지만, SET의 이중 서명 방식은 계산량과 통신량이 많아 무선 환경에서 사용되기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 통신량을 줄이고자 상점의 주문 정보와 은행의 지불 정보 이용하여 다항식을 생성하는 signcryption 방식을 제안하였다. 기존의 signcryption방식과 이중 서명 방식을 분석하여 문제점을 도출하여 효율적인 전자서명 방식을 제안하고, 그 안전성을 분석한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate design process and production in the Korean knitwear industry and to examine the possibility for our knitwear industry to develop into the developed countries' model. This purpose was empirically pursued through questionnaires, of which respondents were 110 designers, merchandiser(MD), and top managers of knitwear companies and jobbers in Seoul. The questionnaires were analyzed on the basis of such statistical tools as χ²-test, t-test, and one-way ANOVA. Findings of this study were as follows. Designers of knitwear companies evaluated that their design is more creative than that of designers of jobbers. But designers of knitwear companies and jobbers all responded that they obtained their design ideas from samples produced by leading foreign knitwear companies. The dominant form by which knitwear companies use jobbers was that knitwear companies do a major part of designing and order jobbers to elaborate it and produce knitwear samples. The most important reason of hiring jobbers was to obtain specialized technical skills and knowledge.
