Purpose: Compared with the past when Japanese retailers used to hesitate to open their shops in the Korean market, because of anti-Japan sentiment, they show confidence in Korea in recent. This study, thus, aims at examining how socio-demographic factors have an impact on customer attitudes towards a Japanese retailer as a shopping destination. Research design, data, and methodology: After the literature review process, the authors have developed a variety of questions to verify the relationship amongst the variables like nationalism, consumer ethnocentrism, war animosity, store country-of-origin and anti-Japan sentiment. Furthermore, after collected questionnaires, the authors used confirmative factor analysis (CFA), T test and linear regression analysis to verify the 25 hypotheses developed. Results: Except for a household size element, it is found that gender, age, education and income levels are related to the degree of nationalism, ethnocentrism, war animosity, store country-of-origin and anti-Japan sentiment. In other words, socio-economic elements influenced Korean customer attitudes towards Japanese retailers. Conclusions: Korean customers tend to show different shopping attitudes towards the Japanese retailers, depending on the characteristics of socio-demographic elements. Furthermore, changing socio-demographic factors will provide positive business opportunities for Japanese retailers in the future.

본 연구의 목적은 소비자의 쇼핑 시 소비자의 상품(식품) 선택 특성이 온, 오프라인의 업태별 선호도와 옴니채널 선호도에 영향을 미치는가를 분석하여 유통업체의 마케팅 전략 수립에 시사점을 얻기 위함이다. 연구모형은 소비자의 식품 선택 특성이 각각 업태별 선호도와 옴니채널 선호도에 미치는 영향으로 구성 되었다. 총 477부의 설문조사를 토대로 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, (1) 식품의 선도, (2) 맛, (3) 품질, 안전, (4) 시식시음, (5) 식품의 기능 및 정보, (6) 원산지, (7) 브랜드 충성도의 7가지 특성을 활용한 식품 구매 특성은 업태별로 다양하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 채택된 가설은 브랜드 충성도(5회), 선도(3회), 시식 시음(3회), 원산지(1회) 순으로 선정이 된 것으로 보아 식품의 선택요인은 (1) 어떤 브랜드 인가, (2) 얼마나 선도가 좋은가, (3) 시식 시음으로 먹어보고 구입 한다, (4) 원산지는 확인 한다 로 압축이 되며 실제 소비자가 식품 쇼핑 시에도 7가지를 모두 활용 한다기보다는 업태별 특성에 맞는 핵심적인 선택 요인만 활용하는 것으로 보여진다. 편의점은 3개 요인이 영향을 미치고 나머지 업태는 1~2요인만 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 옴니채널 선호도 분석에 있어서 식품의 선택 특성이 제한적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나왔으며 이는 옴니채널의 개념을 소비자가 아직 명확하게 이해하지 못하는 것에 기인한다고 보여진다. 셋째, 본 연구의 분석결과는 업태 별로 다양한 영향을 미치는 식품의 선택 특성을 업태별 마케팅 전략에 반영을 할 필요성이 있다는 점과 옴니채널 이용 소비자는 식품의 품질 및 안전을 중시하고 시식을 통해 상품을 확인하고, 어느 곳에서도 신뢰를 할 수 있는 브랜드를 추구하여 온 오프라인을 동시에 이용하는 합리적인 소비를 하기 때문에 옴니채널은 합리성을 추구하는 고객이 선호도가 높을 것이라는 시사점을 제공한다. 향후 유통업의 옴니체널 전략은 많은 어려움이 예상되며, 본 연구는 유통의 패러다임을 바꾸게 되는 옴니채널을 식품의 선택특성을 활용하여 처음으로 연구를 시도한 것에 의의가 있다.

2020년 경기도내 유통 중인 고춧가루의 미생물 오염도를 구매 장소, 원산지, HACCP 및 살균 여부에 따라 조사하고, 보관방법에 따른 품질 변화를 연구하였다. 유통 중인 고춧가루 100건을 수거하여 검사한 결과 3건(대형마트 2건, 재래시장 1건)에서 Bacillus cereus가 검출되었으며, 27건(대형마트 9건, 재래시장 18건)에서 Clostridium perfringens가 검출되었다. 대형마트와 재래시장에서 수거한 고춧가루의 일반세균수 검출량은 통계적으로 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 7 log CFU/g을 초과하는 고춧가루의 수는 대형마트보다 재래시장이 더 많았다. 보관온도(30℃, 4℃, -20℃)와 보관용기(지퍼백, 비닐봉투)에 따라 7개월까지 저장 실험한 결과, 저장 기간에 따라 미생물학적 품질에는 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 30℃에 저장한 고춧가루의 수분함량 및 ASTA color value는 저장 3개월 이후 크게 감소하였다. 따라서 고춧가루의 장기 보관 시 품질을 유지하기 위해서는 냉장고 또는 냉동고에 보관하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다.
