본 논문의 주된 연구목적은 첫째, 카테고리 관리를 실행하고 있는 소매업체에서 상품구색, 가격정책, 진일형태, 촉진 등의 점포 내 전술이 점포성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이고, 둘째, 상품 카테고리 유형(다양성 추구용과 구색용 카테고리)에 어떤 전술이 어떤 형태로 점포성과 향상에 기여하는지를 알아보는 것이다. 이러한 연구목적들을 달성하기 위하여 국내 대표 할인점인 ‘A' 할인점의 매장 Scanner Data를 이용하여 점포성과는 매출액과 재고투자수익률(GMROD로 측정하였고, 점포 내 전술은 스캐너 데이터와 매장에서의 실사를 병행하여 상품구색, 가격할인, 가격 및 비가격촉진, 진열위치 등으로 평가하였다. 다중회귀분석을 통하여 가설검정을 한 길과 다양성 추구용 카테고리에서는 상품구색, 일시적 가격할인, 가격할인 그리고 특정진열위치 전술들은 매출액을 증가시켰고, 상품구색은 GMROI를 떨어뜨리는 반면 비가격촉진 전술은 GMROI를 증가시키는 효과를 가져왔다. 또한 구색용 카테고리에서는 상품구색과 특정진열위치 전술은 매출액과 GMROI를 모두 높였으나, 일시적 가격할인, 가격촉진, 그리고 비가격촉진 전술들은 매출액과 GMROI에 아무런 영향을 주지 못하였다. 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 이론적 공헌점과 관리적 시사점을 제시하였다.

Purpose - This study attempts to examine the impacts of consumers' perceived service convenience of retailers on various service performance metrics such as service quality and customer satisfaction. It also tries to investigate differences in the importance of service convenience dimensions on service performance between a department store and a general super market. Research design, data, and methodology - The four hypotheses in this study were proposed and tested. Two hypotheses were on the causal relationships between service convenience dimensions and service performances (service quality and customer satisfaction). The other two hypotheses were on comparisons for the effects of convenience dimensions on service quality and customer satisfaction between department stores and general super markets. To test the hypotheses, three department store chains (Hyundai, Lotte, and Shinsegae department Store) and three general super markets (E-mart, Homeplus, and Lotte mart) were involved. Overall, 510 usable responses were used. The data were analyzed using regression analysis. Results - The results largely support the hypothesized relationships of the proposed model. The results show that access convenience, transaction convenience, benefit convenience, and post-benefit convenience have positive influences on service quality, whereas decision convenience, access convenience, transaction convenience, benefit convenience, and post-benefit convenience have positive effects on customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the results show that there are differences between department stores and general super markets in the effects of benefit convenience and post-benefit convenience on service quality as well as the effects of transaction convenience and post-benefit convenience on customer satisfaction. Conclusions - The concept of service convenience is important in retail environments but little is known about this topic in retail literature. Specially, while service convenience dimensions have different impacts on service performance in distinct retail environments, there has been little investigation or comparison between retail types as regards service convenience. This study is the first to test the differences between distinct retail types (department stores and general super markets) on the service convenience-service performance links. Managerially, the findings of this study suggest that the service convenience management of retailers is an important part of successful service performance management. Because it is most important that both department stores and general super markets enhance benefit convenience to improve service performance, managers of both store types need to invest their resources to reduce consumers' perceived time and effort expenditures to experience the retailer's core benefits. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that retail stores should spend human and financial resources to enhance customer perceptions of service convenience, while also considering what constitutes the service outcome in the consumer's mind. Furthermore, the findings suggest that managers need to use different service convenience management tactics in department stores and general super markets. Specifically, managers in general super markets should pay more attention to benefit convenience and transaction convenience to achieve better service performance whereas managers in department stores should concentrate on post-benefit convenience to create customers' positive evaluation.
