국내 커피전문점 시장은 지난 1999년 스타벅스가 매장을 개설한 시점으로부터 10여년 이상의 시간이 경과하면서 양적으로도 급격한 성장을 지속하여 왔다. 최근에는 각 커피전문점 브랜드별로 경쟁이 가속화되면서 맛이나 서비스의 차이가 줄어드는 경향을 보이는 등 성숙기 시장의 특성을 보이고 있다. 경쟁이 매우 치열해지는 성숙기 시장에서는 제품 및 서비스 차별화와 가격 프리미엄의 확보를 위해서는 차별적인 브랜드 이미지를 구축하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구는 성숙기에 진입한 국내 커피전문점 시장의 주요 5개 브랜드에 대해 점포개성 척도를 사용하여 현재의 포지셔닝을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과를 바탕으로 실무적인 시사점을 제시하였다는 점에서 본 연구의 의의가 있다. 연구 결과, 소비자들은 커피전문점 브랜드를 국내 중소기업 전문브랜드와 외국 전문브랜드로 나누거나, 매장의 규모가 큰 매장이 다수인 브랜드와 소규모 매장이 많은 브랜드로 구분하여 인식하고 있다는 점, 그리고 소비자들이 이상적으로 생각하는 브랜드의 점포개성은 신뢰, 세련, 매력이라는 점을 발견하였다. 이와 같은 연구 결과를 바탕으로 파악된 각 커피전문점의 점포개성 이미지 강약점을 토대로 강점은 강화하고 약점을 보완하기 위한 마케팅 전략을 수립하고 실행해야 할 것이다.

This study aimed to provide information to establish a service strategy in cross-border e-commerce through an assessment of consumer satisfaction with a cross-border shopping channel and "amazon global store" managed by 11street, a domestic e-commerce corporation. The influence of brand familiarity with amazon as a global retail brand was tested. The mediating roles of the perceived value and risk of both cross-border shopping and amazon global store were investigated; the moderating role of the domestic e-commerce corporation was also studied. An empirical study was conducted on consumers who had experience using the amazon global store managed by 11street. To verify the hypothesis, data from 200 people was analyzed using PROCESS macro 4.0. The results indicated that familiarity with global brands did not have a direct effect on consumer satisfaction; the effect of global retail brand familiarity on consumer satisfaction was mediated only by the perceived value of cross-border shopping and amazon global store, not by the perceived risks. E-commerce corporate credibility showed a moderated mediation effect by mediating functional values of the amazon global store. For consumer groups with a credibility level of medium and above, the interaction effect of brand familiarity and corporate credibility was significant.

The success story of E-mart fascinated many academics and practitioners alike. Though E-mart began as a nameless discount store in Chang-dong, Seoul in 1993, it has transformed itself into a leading distribution company and one of the most powerful brands in Korea. Surprisingly, it achieved the great success against the two crises it met: the national economic crisis and the invasion of the global giant Walmart. The main objective of this case study is to formally examine how E-mart overcame the two crises. More specifically, this case study highlights the ways with which E-mart turned those difficulties into opportunities for growth. In our examination of the E-mart case, we could clearly see E-mart's competence and spirit that allowed it to turn crises into advantageous opportunities. E-mart attracted the customers who wanted value-oriented consumption by its positioning as the "Lowest price discount store", when consumer sentiment was frozen under the economic crisis. Furthermore, when a large-scale foreign discount store like Walmart entered the Korea market, E-mart built its core competencies as the 'Korean style discount store'. These ingenious positioning and efforts resulted in E-mart taking over their archrival, Walmart, and forced the global Goliath to exit the Korean market. The case of E-mart's effective crisis management teaches many important lessons and a few core lessons that apply to many companies. One such lesson is the importance of positioning which enabled E-mart to turn crises into opportunities. Granted, the strategy of positioning as the 'Korean style discount store', or 'Lowest price discount store' was possible due to overall support with cost reduction, development and management of their own system, an apprentice educate system, etc. based on an excellent selection of location of the store and efficient distribution systems. Still, the positioning strategy of E-mart was truly ground breaking in distancing itself from its competitors. The lessons from E-mart will help those companies currently in a stagnant situation or a crisis to turn their obstacles into great success.

Recently, rice producers and related institutions have started to brand rice to increase sale. Despite such trend and the significance of rice branding to many parties including policy makers, no previous research has studied the relationship between consumers' psychological and socio-economic factors that underline consumer choice and judgment of branded rice. This paper discusses the variables related to branding through a survey based on 242 convenience consumer samples selected in Seoul metropolitan area in Korea, and presents the results and their implication for future research. The major findings are: 1) Consumers are reasonably well aware of rice-branding practices, and the main source of such information is in-store displays and packages, 2) It appears that consumers in general choose a rice brand based mainly on its taste and nutrition, and 3) the perceived difference among rice brands differs depending on some consumer characteristics. The perceived differences among rice brands in taste and in nutrition are relatively high for brand-loyal consumers and high-income consumers respectively. The perceived difference among rice brands in brand reputation is also relatively high for young, low-income, and brand-loyal consumers.
