Demand forecasting is a crucial task for an online retail where has to manage daily fresh foods effectively. Failing in forecasting results loss of profitability because of incompetent inventory management. This study investigated the optimal performance of different forecasting models for a very short shelf-life product. Demand data of 13 perishable items with aging of 210 days were used for analysis. Our comparison results of four methods: Trivial Identity, Seasonal Naïve, Feed-Forward and Autoregressive Recurrent Neural Networks (DeepAR) reveals that DeepAR outperforms with the lowest MAPE. This study also suggests the managerial implications by employing coefficient of variation (CV) as demand variation indicators. Three classes: Low, Medium and High variation are introduced for classify 13 products into groups. Our analysis found that DeepAR is suitable for medium and high variations, while the low group can use any methods. With this approach, the case can gain benefit of better fill-rate performance.

급변하는 소매업 환경 속에서 각 소매업체는 생존을 위한 다양한 전략을 구사하고 있다. 무한 경쟁 시대를 맞이하여, 유럽 및 미국의 대자본이 포화상태에 달한 자국 시장 대신 해외로 시장을 확대하고 있으므로, 한국의 소매업도 이들과의 경쟁은 불가피한 일이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국 및 미국 소매업의 발달과점과 입지 변화를 비교 분석하여, 한국 소매업의 바람직한 발전 방향 모색에 기여하고자 한다. 독창적인 마케팅 전략으로 새로운 업태의 세계적 선두 주자로서 계속 성장하고 있는 미국 소매업의 실체 분석은 한국 소매업의 바람직한 전략 구축의 기반이 된다. 최근, 미국의 소매업은 가격 지향의 할인점 시기를 지나서 고급화, 다양화, 대규모 테마파크화가 진행되고 있다. 이와 함께 입지 면에서는 새로운 교외지역이 성장하는 가운데, 기존 업체의 재정비 재개발로 도시 내부지역이 활성화된다. 그리고 입지가 문제시되지 않는 전자 소매업 TV 홈쇼핑도 성장하고 있다. 한편, 시장과 백화점 중심의 정적(靜的)인 구조를 지속해 오던 한국의 소매업은 1980년대 말 이후 다양한 업종이 소개되면서 급변하고 있다. 특히 1990년대 중반이후에는 대형 할인점이 급성장하고 유통구조의 체계화, 서비스 중심의 소매업으로 새로운 도약의 계기를 마련하고 있다. 한국 소매업의 발전을 위해서는 우선 정보통신 및 기술수준을 적극적으로 활용해야 한다. 나아가 전통과 현대/세계의 접목, 중소 업체의 협동화 같은 독창적인 시도, 그리고 유통업계 행정부 학계의 적극적인 지원이 요구된다.

소비자만족과 소비자경험을 향상시키기 위해 기술-유통 통합(ICT Retail Convergence; IRC)이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 소비자에게 상용화된 IRC의 현황과 가치를 소비자의 구매의사결정 단계별로 고찰함으로써 소비자 관점에서 IRC를 진단하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 먼저 국내 외 유통관련 문헌 고찰을 통해 IRC 종류를 살펴본 결과, IRC는 체험특화기술인 가상현실(VR)와 증강현실(AR), 정보관련기술인 인공지능(AI)과 빅데이터, 위치기반기술인 비콘과 RFID, 결제관련기술인 핀테크와 생체인식기술로 구분되었다. 다음으로 각 기술별 대표사례를 수집하고 소비자에게 제공하는 가치를 분석한 결과, 기술 유형에 따라 구매단계별 소비자에게 제공하는 가치에 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 소비자의 만족향상과 유통산업, 기술의 발전이 함께 이루어질 수 있는 IRC 도입 방향을 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 향후 다양한 산업과 후속연구에서 소비자 지향적으로 기술을 분석하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

Retail space itself could be one of the marketing strategies, through creating space, and communicating brand identity. Especially for innovative products, such as mobile technology products, store is not just to sell products but to provide experiences so that users can fudge usefulness of products and reduce uncertainties to adopt the products. The purpose of this study is to investigate how environmental features and physical artifacts contribute to promote experiences of innovative products in stores and how physical environment help to establish brand identity. For this study, site visits, observation, and literature review were conducted. For case studies, three retail spaces (Apple, Iriver, Sony) and one service space(TTL) were selected. Compared to the service space, three retail spaces have more transparent and open store front design characteristics. For the experiences of shoppers, products displayed in a radial shape, round shape, column shape, and around peripherals of the stores. A service oriented space, TTL zone is differentiated from three retail spaces in terms of layout, store front design, and experience areas. Compared to the traditional stores selling innovative products, the case stores showed more warm atmosphere using various shape, wood materials, lighting fixtures and furniture.

Purpose - In this paper, we examine the effect of accrual earnings management and real earnings management on the corporate value of retail corporations. Research design, data, and Methodology - The sample cover firms whose settlement is December among retail companies listed on the Korea Stock Exchange's securities market and KOSDAQ market from 2001 to 2016. Of these, the targets were companies with operating profit and equity capital of zero or higher and with sales data. The secondary data was collected through KIS-VALUE data base. The Jones model and the modified Jones model were used for the calculating the accrual-based earnings management and the real earnings management. Result - According to the empirical results, the relationship between accrual earnings management, real earnings management and firm value is positively significant in the retail industry as in manufacturing industry. These results are also significant when controlling the size, profitability, investment, debt ratio, dividend, and growth potential of a company. Conclusions - The characteristics of the distribution business can be identified and the influence of the various kinds of earnings management, which is being researched around the manufacturing industry, can be studied in the distribution industry to give practical implications to investors.

Purchase decision behavior for and satisfaction with apparel among retail buyers and consumers were compared. Kunz's behavioral theory of the apparel fm was the conceptual framework; Oliver's disconfirmation model guided measurement of satisfaction. Buyers and consumers indicated their perceptions about shopping orientations, variables that influenced apparel purchasing decisions, the importance of aspects of customer service and attributes that they expected to find and found when shopping. Surveys were mailed to retailers and consumers identified by random sampling of company lists. Respondents were 66 buyers and 344 consumers. MANOVA revealed differences in retailers 'and consumers' shopping orientations, the influence of variables on purchase decisions, and perceptions of the importance of customer service. Paired sample t tests indicated dissatisfaction for buyers on 10 apparel/shopping attributes and consumers on nine items. Results support the need for vertically integrated manufacturers to redesign strategies that are more appealing to both retail buyers and consumers.

The main purpose of this study is to develop a framework of knowledge management and knowledge management systems(KMS) for retail firms. The framework of knowledge management developed in this paper is based on six components: knowledge worker, KMS, leadership of CEO, knowledge management strategy, culture, evaluation and reward systems. The knowledge management process can be divided into four stages: preparation stage, initiation stage, expansion stage and completion stage. The major activities performed to implement effective knowledge management are also identified for each stage. The knowledge base of KMS for retail firms should store three types of knowledge: knowledge for management activity, knowledge for management activity, knowledge for strategic analysis, and knowledge for problem solving. Finally, the technical characteristics of KMS are also examined in terms of information technology.

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.
