This study aims to identify the current sizing communication issues of menswear on retail websites and to suggest an effective size information presentation method. Based on sales frequency and awareness in the Korean menswear market, 22 brand websites were selected, and size-related information was investigated using 7 types of representative apparel items. The current diverse types of size codes had limitations in delivering actual product size information. Many websites preferred to display garment dimensions rather than basic body measurements, which is the suggested size designation method in Korean Standard. The websites posted fit model photos and customer reviews. However, the body size specifications, which consumers can use as a useful reference, were often omitted. There was also a high uncertainty in product size selection, with only the basic body measurement information listed, and there was a high deviation of garment dimensions within the same basic body measurements. The product size distribution did not match actual Korean body types. Based on the findings, we suggested improved effective sizing communication methods. These methods will contribute to a better online shopping environment for both consumers and retail sellers.

Purpose: As one of the continuous studies on the offline distribution industry, the purpose of this study is to find ways for offline stores to respond to the growth of online shopping by identifying research trends on department stores. Research design, data and methodology: To this end, this study conducted word frequency analysis, word co-occurrence frequency analysis, BERTopic, LDA, and dynamic topic modeling using Python 3.7 on a total of 551 English abstracts searched with the keyword 'department store' in scienceON as of October 10, 2022. Results: The results of word frequency analysis and co-occurrence frequency analysis revealed that research related to department stores frequently focuses on factors such as customers, consumers, products, satisfaction, services, and quality. BERTopic and LDA analyses identified five topics, including 'store image,' with 'shopping information' showing relatively high interest, while 'sales systems' were observed to have relatively lower interest. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it was concluded that research related to department stores has so far been conducted in a limited scope, and it is insufficient to provide clues for department stores to secure competitiveness against online platforms. Therefore, it is suggested that additional research be conducted on topics such as the true role of department stores in the retail industry, consumer reinterpretation, customer value and lifetime value, department stores as future retail spaces, ethical management, and transparent ESG management.

Purpose: The salesperson, the core of the operating activities, plays the role of connecting the inside and outside of the company, representing the company to the consumer and identifying and responding to the customer's needs. The department store industry is the most representative retail industry in South Korea, and competition among its peer group and industry is intensifying, requiring differentiated service sales activities and performance from its employees. This study divided the sales force system into activity control(process-oriented control) and output control(performance-oriented control) and verified the differential impact on the job attitude of the salesperson (e.g., job satisfaction and burn-out), respectively. In addition, the effect of job satisfaction and burn-out of the salesperson on the job performance were checked. Research design, data, and methodology: The survey was conducted on 200 sales people working at five branch stores of Hyundai department store in Seoul, and 194 of them were analyzed. The reliability and validity of the variables were analyzed and hypotheses were verified through the SEM. Results: Results have shown that activity control has a greater impact on burn-out compared to output control, and output control has a greater impact on job satisfaction compared to activity control. It has been shown that the salesperson's burn-out does not affect sales performance, but that job satisfaction has a positive effect on sales performance. Conclusions: This study examines the effect of sales force management system such as activity control and output control, on the job attitude and sales performance in department stores. According to the results of this research, each of two control systems have a discriminatory effect on the job attitude variables. For the sales managers of department store, it is recommended to increase the efficiency of sales management by increasing the use of outcome control compared to activity control.

전통적인 오프라인 중심의 상거래 방식은 온라인과 모바일 기술의 발전으로 인해 크게 변화하고 있으며, 이러한 변화는 구매 패턴에 관한 소비자 행동의 변화를 동반했다. 온라인 쇼핑의 성장에도 불구하고 몽골에는 여전히 '가공식품'과 같은 특정 제품군에서는 전통적인 오프라인 매장을 더욱 선호하고 있다. 이러한 온라인과 오프라인 채널의 공존과 기능 변화에 대응하기 위해서는 기존 채널에 대한 성과를 면밀히 분석해야 한다. 특히, 채널의 역할 전환 혹은 통합과 같은 새로운 전략을 수립할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 몽골 유통 시장을 중심으로 오프라인 매장에 대한 매출, 이익, 판매량과 같은 성과 지표를 기준으로 군집분석을 실시하였으며, 각 군집의 특징을 주변환경과 비교하여 주요 특징을 발견하였다. 주요 군집에 속한 오프라인 매장의 성과 향상을 위해 온-오프라인 채널 간의 풀필먼트 허브 매장, 고객의 매장 체류 시간을 늘리기 위한 체험 매장, 그리고 매장 특성에 따라 서로 보완하여 트래픽을 증가시킬 수 있는 비관련 채널 간의 합병 등 세 가지 전략을 제안하였다. 이를 통해, 기존 유통 채널의 다변화와 함께 고객 경험 향상 및 수익성 개선을 달성할 수 있을 것이다.

An understanding of store patronage behavior is a critical issue for retail managers, especially when it comes to a new kind of retail store, as it enables them to identify and target potential customers. Reflecting this managerial need, this study is focused on the fashion multi-brand shop, specifically investigating its store attributes, customers' shopping orientation, and store patronage. Accepting the shifting marketing paradigm from 4P's marketing mix to 7P's marketing mix, the 7P's marketing mix is employed in this study to measure the store attributes, including people(sales oriented and customer oriented), price, place, promotion, physical environment, process, and product. The store attributes significantly influencing patronization are found as customer oriented sales people, product, physical environment, and process. The shopping orientations of the customers, 222 female adults aged from 20s to 40s are found as ostentatious, pleasant, fashion pursuant, rational, and addictive. The consumers who are ostentatious, pleasant, and fashion pursuant are highly likely to be patronize to the fashion multi-brand shops.

온라인 시장의 매출 성장률은 오프라인 시장을 크게 앞지르고 있으며 그 원인은 상점의 개인화를 통한 쇼핑 시간 절약, 상대적 편이성으로 알려져 있다. 온라인 상점의 개인화는 인터넷, 웹 테크놀로지가 제공하는 고객 쇼핑 행태에 관한 다양하고 상세한 고객의 쇼핑 데이터의 사용으로 가능하다. 과거에는 오프라인 상점에게 이와 같은 데이터가 제공될 수 없었으나, 최근 확산되고 있는 RFID 기술은 오프라인 상점에게 상점의 개인화라는 새로운 기회와 가능성을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 오프라인 상점이 온라인 상점과의 상대적 경쟁력 향상을 위하여 그들 상점의 개인화에 사용할 수 있는 BRIMPS (BRIck-and-Mortar Personalization System) 시스템을 제안한다.

This study was implemented to examine the effect of tobacco on operation of a retail store and propose a relevant direction to development of a retail store. In terms of an examination method, the questionnaire was conducted in respect of supermarkets and convenience stores(CVS) around the nation. As a result of analysis based on such questionnaire, although there was a little difference in between a supermarket and a convenience store, a similar result could be found in general. In other words, retailers selling tobacco regarded the tobacco as a medium to solicit customers. Since the significance of tobacco in terms of total sales volume was so high, without the tobacco, they might have suspend the business. Consequently, the effect of tobacco was enormous. In addition, under the premise that many regular customers should be acquired to develop such retail stores, it was found that it would be necessary to increase $15{\sim}20%$ in terms of a margin in tobacco, preserve the profit ratio by the government, make efforts to enhance a quality and design by a tobacco company, actively recommend a particular brand, and actively display a tobacco publicity booklet, etc. Moreover, the proper number of tobacco stores in comparison with habitual smokers was one per 200 persons. In respect of the most unreasonable tobacco policy, a minor-related system and a policy of increasing a tobacco price were named. Thus, under the premise that a medium such as tobacco is highly important with respect to an operation of retail store, it is necessary to pay a more careful attention to an improvement of a reasonable and equitable system to further develop a retail store.
