When a channel is vertically separated, there can be inefficiencies, double marginalization. Channel coordination to amend this inefficiency has been an important issue in marketing and economics. Channel coordination deals with maximization of joint profit and achieving proper profit sharing among participants. In this paper, a manufacturer and heterogeneous multiple retailers with exclusive territory are assumed, and channel coordination with two-part tariff is considered. When multiple heterogeneous retailers are assumed, profit sharing can be an issue even though the tariffs based on marginal cost can maximize joint profit. In case of multiple heterogeneous retailers, the manufacturer earns the same profit (fixed fee) from each retailer. This means that a large retailer occupies all the gaps of channel profit between small and large markets. Then, the manufacturer, which generally plays the role of Stackelberg leader, will consider increasing fixed price or marginal price to earn more profit from large retailer. Those reactions can sacrifice maximization of joint profit by making small retailer withdraw or by changing the sales quantities. In this paper, to maximize joint profit and achieve proper profit sharing, two kinds of optional tariffs are considered. The first is an optional two-part tariff based on marginal cost and the second is an optional modified two-part tariff in which marginal prices are higher than the manufacturer's marginal cost. In both types of optional tariffs, maximization of joint profit in each market can be achieved. Moreover, optional tariffs alleviate the problem of profit sharing. Optional tariffs can provide a manufacturer more profit from a large retailer when profit from a small retailer is given. However, the analysis shows that the maximum share of manufacturer from a large retailer is restricted by the condition for self-selection. In case of optional two-part tariffs based on marginal cost, if the gap between demands is large, the maximum share of the manufacturer is sufficient to achieve proper profit sharing. If the gap between demands is not sufficiently large, the manufacturer cannot earn sufficient share from increased profit. An optional modified two-part tariff where marginal price is more than marginal cost of manufacturer is considered because of this scenario. The marginal price above the marginal cost may additionally control the distribution of the increased profit. However, the analysis shows that a manufacturer's maximum profit from a large retailer with given profit from a small retailer is the same as or lower than the maximum profit when optional two-part tariffs based on marginal cost are applied. Therefore, it can be concluded that the optional modified tariffs do not have additional contribution to profit sharing relative to the tariffs based on marginal cost. Although this paper does not cover all kinds of optional tariffs that are different from tariffs based on marginal cost, it shows the advantage of optional tariffs based on marginal cost and has important theoretical implications. The result of this paper also gives guide for channel coordination. Optional two-part tariff based on marginal cost can increase efficiency in channel coordination.

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in purchase behaviors for school uniforms among adolescent consumer groups which were segmented by the type of retailer they patronized. An online survey was carried out and 907 data sets were analyzed using SPSS. The results support that classifying adolescent consumers according to what type of retailers they patronize lead to a proper understanding of the segmentation of the school uniform market. The adolescent consumers consisted of five groups categorized by the retailer types. These types included special stores, department stores, discount stores, small custom-made stores and stores designated by schools. The results also indicated that consumer groups segmented by retailer patronage differ significantly in their use of multimedia information sources. Five consumer groups showed significant differences in two purchase evaluative criteria: utilities and promotions.

신제품 개발 과정에서 성공적인 혁신을 창출하기 위해서는 외부 파트너와의 원활한 협력관계 뿐만 아니라 부서 간 장벽을 허무는 노력도 요구된다. 이 연구는 대중소 기업간 신제품 개발 협력과정에서 혁신창출의 성공요인들이 어떻게 작용하는지 분석하였다. 대형 소매업체와 두 개의 중소협력사들의 협력관계 구축을 통한 신제품 개발 과정에 대한 사례 분석을 실시한 결과 적어도 단기적으로는 중소협력사들이 매우 큰 성장율을 달성하였음을 발견하였다. 기업 간 협력을 통한 혁신의 성공요소들 가운데, 대기업의 관계 특정적 투자가 중소협력업체의 참여 동기에 결정적 영향을 미쳤음을 발견하였다. 또한 두 개의 중소협력사들이 직접 상호작용하는 이른바 '폐쇄적' 네트워크를 구축하여 신제품 개발에 필요한 지식을 창출함으로써 짧은 시간에 고품질의 상품개발에 성공할 수 있었다. 식품산업에서 소매업체와 공급업체간 협력에 의한 신제품 개발에 관한 기존 연구들이 커뮤니케이션 문제를 야기하는 상호 입장 차이를 성패결정의 핵심요소 중 하나로 보았으나 본 연구에서는 대기업과 중소기업간 협력의 경우 대형 소매업체의 주도적 역할이 오히려 핵심적 기능을 한 것으로 나타났다.

2009년부터 시작된 소상공인 조직화 지원 사업은 2013년 들어 소상공인 협업화 지원 사업으로 변하면서 정책적 위치를 확립해 나가고 있다. 이 지원 사업은 크게 두 가지 측면을 지원하고 있는데, 하나는 유통의 효율화를 위해 소상공인들을 조직화 하여 규모의 경제 측면을 강화시키는 것이고, 다른 측면은 방문교육을 통하여 경영을 개선하고 효율성을 제고하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 소상공인 조직화 지원 사업의 두 가지 측면 중 방문교육의 영향에 대해서 연구한다. 세부적으로는 사업체 형태를 체인형 소상공인과 조합형 소상공인으로 나눠 방문지도 교육의 품질이 경영성과 및 지원 사업의 충성도에 주는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 지원 사업의 충성도에는 방문지도 교육의 품질이 사업체 형태에 상관없이 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 경영성과에는 조합형 소상공인의 사업장에서만 방문지도교육의 품질이 유의한 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 소규모 점포 조직화 지원 사업에 대한 충성도를 높여 계속적으로 지원 사업을 받게 하기 위해서는 방문지도교육의 품질을 높여야 하며, 소상공인들의 경영성과를 높이기 위해서는 사업체 형태를 고려해야 함을 시사하고 있다.

Purpose - Compared with the past when customers regarded a price factor as one of the most important criteria when choosing a retailer as a shopping destination, they seem to show different attitudes toward retailers in recent. This research, therefore, aims to explore how Korean customers respond to the CSR business activities provided by retailers. Research design, data, and methodology - The authors have developed the 6 hypotheses based on the literature review and adopted the 4 hypotheses after removing the 2 hypotheses through discriminant validity analysis. Results - Amongst the 4 hypotheses selected, H1 (community support), H3 (environment protection) and H6 (trading with unethical suppliers) related to a retailer's CSR business practices are accepted, whilst H4 (product issues) is rejected. Surprisingly, Korean customers are not interested in a product safety issue, when deciding a shopping store. Conclusions - Rather than emphasizing cheaper prices to attract new customers or maintain existing ones, it is demonstrated through the research that retailers have to pay their attention to their CSR activities. For a retailer's CSR practices, the retailer's social role has become more important than ever before, from a customer's point of view.

This paper considers a problem of locating both distribution centers and retailers in a zone-dependent two-level distribution network where either a distribution center or a retailer should be located in each zone. Customer demands of each zone should be satisfied directly from either its own distribution center or its own retailer being supplied from a distribution center of another zone. The objective of the proposed problem is to minimize total cost being composed of distribution center/retailer setup costs and transportation costs. In the analysis, the problem is proved to be NP-hard, so that a branch-and-bound algorithm is derived for the problem. Numerical experiments show that the proposed branch-and-bound algorithm provides the optimal solution efficiently for some small problems.

Excessive inventories result from poor scheduling, planning, and controls, and the converse is also same. With adequate inventories, supplies can transport products to customers in time without excessive delivering cost. So efficient inventory control is vital for successful logistics management operation. In terms of mass discount retailers such as Wal-Mart, Carrefour, E-Mart, and so on, they require the high-quality services such as a small-amount and a high-frequency delivery because of having small warehouse and wanting possess much more various goods. In the opposite, manufactures ask mass discount retailer to delivery more lots of goods because of reducing the number of deliveries. It goes without saying that both wish to prevent stockout(lack of inventories). Usually, mass discount retailers have the power more than manufactures. This paper proposed how to manage inventory and how many to order in view of the TPLC and supplier. We considered the economic order quantity models for multiple items so as to prevent urgent deliveries as possible as. And the tradeoff stockout costs and delivering costs.

The development of POS (Point of Sales) systems for small retailers according to their needs is considered to be important to improve their competitive advantages. However, their financial statuses hinder the adoption of the tailored POS systems. Viewing ASP as a viable solution to provide tailored POS systems for the small retailers, this study develops ASP POS service models for the small retailers. First, this study elicits ASP POS requirements of the small retailers in the following areas: merchandising, pricing, store design and display, customer service, advertising and promotion and personal selling. Then, the requirements are clustered and the clusters are analyzed based on the characteristics of the retailers. Then, ASP service models are proposed according to the needs and profiles of the retailers.
