In multi-location inventory systems, lost sales due to stockout decreases not only retailers' profit but also whole supply chain's profit. Transshipment between retailers has been considered to be a major solution to the stockout problem, and many supply chains implement transshipment coalition among retailers. However, in practical situations, retailers occasionally refuses to accept the transshipment requests, mainly because they concern the future stockout possibilities of their own. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze the effect of retailers' interaction under the transshipment coalition environment based on the simulations, and to provide effective policies to promote retailers' transshipment cooperation. Policies using penalty and incentive scheme are proposed, and it is shown that using proposed policies both the retailers' and the headquarter's profit can be increased.

Purpose: This study aims to review existing research on the definition, conceptualization, and measurement of relationship values to guide future research. This study specifically measures the relationship value between principals and retailers, which is still not widely discussed in previous research. Besides, to broaden our knowledge of the value-based determinants of competitive advantage, satisfaction, and retailer loyalty in business-to-business relationships. Research design, data, and methodology: This research assessed three alternative models of the relationship value construct's dimension structure and then tested for reliability, validity, and confirmatory factor analysis. The research sample is 185 retailers-data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results: The results showed that product-based values and relationship-based values positively influenced competitive customer advantage, satisfaction, and loyalty. Conclusions: Relationship value construct can be measured and consist of five dimensions: product quality, delivery performance, customer orientation, service support, and personal interaction. They are key factors that maintain the relationship between principal and retailers. This study indicates that principals must invest more time and effort in building valuable relationships with their retailers. Finally, the value of relationships is a determinant of retailer performance: satisfaction and loyalty.

Purpose - In recent years, new retail innovations have emerged in the Japanese eyeglasses industry and grown as a retail format. The purpose of this study is to establish the process model of retail format creation by examining how a retailer creates a retail format and under what kind of environmental conditions. Research design, data, and methodology - This study pointed out the weakness of the concept of the retail format in existing research on the retail format in existing research on the retail format variation theory and suggested the concept of "Formula" to analyze an individual retailer. This study categorized the subjects categorize the subjects of retail format creation into four categories, and analyzed JINS which is the retail format leader in the Japanese eyeglass industry. This study used secondary data because it is valid. Results - This research found "product handling skill," "changes to consumer purchasing patterns," and "competitive interaction" as environmental factors influencing retail format creation. This study highlighted how JINS adapted those environmental factors to create their original formula and suggested the process model of retail format creation through the JINS case study. Conclusions - This study discussed two theoretical implications and three managerial impressions which were derived from the JINS case study. This study also discussed limitations and further research issues.

It is widely confirmed that online retailers can obtain crucial resources and greater growth potential by depending on the external web portal sites as it is explained in resource dependence theory. Nevertheless, recent studies show that the effect of dependence may not always be beneficial for firms and stress the importance of finding relevant contingent factors. In this study, we identify and suggest that firms' age and niche width strategy, whether generalist or specialist, are contributing factors on moderating the positive relationship between resource dependence and firm growth. To test our hypotheses based on the theory, we have collected monthly web traffic data of online retailers and portals from March 2000 and July 2008. The empirical results lend support to our theory of the firm age having a negative interaction effect on web traffic dependence. Moreover, results verified that positive effect of depending on the portals may become greater if the online retailer is a specialist in terms of niche width.

마케팅 연구에서 판매촉진은 지난 수십 년간 지속적으로 연구되어 온 분야중의 하나이다. 판매촉진은 소비자의 지각된 가치를 증가시키는 방법으로 크게 2가지 유형으로 나누어 볼 수 있는데, 첫째, 소비자에게 비용을 줄여주는 방법인 가격인하 판매촉진과 둘째, 소비자에게 혜택을 제공하여 전체적인 지각된 가치를 높여주는 부가가치 제공 판매촉진 방법이 그것이다. 그 동안의 판매촉진의 연구를 살펴보면 주로 가격할인 판매촉진을 중심으로 연구가 많이 이루어졌음을 알 수 있다. 그러나 최근 들어 부가가치 제공 판매촉진 방법에 관한 연구가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 부가가치 제공 판매촉진 활동의 효과 평가, 적절한 부가가치 판매촉진 방법, 구매의도에 관한 연구가 많이 이루어졌음을 확인할 수 있다. 즉, 판매촉진 자체에 초점을 맞춘 연구가 대부분이었다. 본 연구는 부가가치적 판매촉진이 판매촉진 제품의 가치평가에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 부가가치 판매촉진에 관심을 갖게 된 이유는 부가가치 판매촉진은 상황적인 요인에 의해 그 것이 혜택으로 지각될 수도 있지만 반드시 그렇지 않을 수도 있기 때문이다. 본 연구는 이러한 상황적 요인으로 사은품 제시 방법과 유통업체의 불확실성 수준이라는 2가지 요인이 판매촉진 제품의 가치평가에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 보기위해 실험과 준실험을 이용한 2가지 연구를 실시하였다. 먼저 실험은 2(사은품 제시방법; 통합제시 vs. 분리제시) *2(유통업체의 불확실성 수준(높음 vs. 낮음) *3(평가대상; 전체제품(본 제품+사은품), 본 제품, 사은품)로 집단 간 실험설계를 하였다. 그 결과 사은품을 통합 제시하는 경우가 분리 제시하는 경우에 비해 제품 가치 평가를 더 높게 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 유통업체 불확실성 수준이 높은 경우가 낮은 경우에 비해 전체 제품 가치 평가를 더 낮게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 두 요인의 상호작용을 살펴본 결과, 전체적으로 살펴보았을 때 상호작용은 유의미하게 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 보다 상세한 결과를 알아보기 위해 각각의 평가 대상별로 알아본 결과, 본 제품 평가에 있어서 유통업체 불확실성이 높은 경우에 통합 제시하는 경우가 분리제시 하는 경우에 비해 제품 가치를 더 낮게 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 준실험인 연구 2는 연구 1의 결과를 재확인하기 위한 것으로 실제 시장에서 행해지고 있는 제품과 최근에 이용한 유통업체에 대해 평가하게 하였다. 그 결과 연구 1에서처럼 유통업체 불확실성이 높은 경우 제품 가치 평가를 더 낮게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 연구 1에서 살펴보지 않았던 구매의도를 조사하였다. 부가가치 판매촉진 이전의 유보가격과 부가가치 판매촉진 자극물을 본 이후의 유보가격의 차이를 이용하여 2개의 집단으로 나눈 후, 구매의도를 비교한 결과 두 집단 간 구매의도에는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 유통업체 불확실성이 높은 경우, 사은품을 제공하는 것이 소비자에게 단순히 혜택으로 지각되는 것이 아니라 상술지각이 활성화되어 오히려 제품 평가에 부정적인 영향을 미치게 되며 구매를 망설이게 한다고 볼 수 있다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to establish an conceptual framework to explain the mechanism of internationalization behavior being used by recently established retailer in emerging countries. Research design, data, and methodology - The existing research on retail internationalization has focused on global retailers located in advanced countries which have expanded their business to emerging countries. That is, "internationalization from top to bottom". However, recent years have seen a reversal in this trend, resulting in the emergence of "internationalization from bottom to top" by retailers based in emerging economies. In order to explore this reversal, this study attempts to develop an conceptual framework based on the theories of "innovation" and "retail format". Results - This study found an conceptual framework which was adopted both a concept of "formula" derived from the theory of retail format and a concept of "production and process innovation" derived from the theory of innovation as a core concept. Conclusions - The conceptual framework provided an understanding of how retailers in emerging countries have gained a competitive advantage over retail companies based in countries with advanced economies. It suggested that innovation that gave these companies a competitive edge was caused by competitive interaction which allowed them to expand to oversea markets.

EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags and RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology are said to have potential to change the ways individuals, organizations and societies operate on the everyday basis. In the near future, it is expected that every major retailer will use RFID and EPC systems to track the movement of products from suppliers to warehouses, store backrooms and eventually to points of sale. Recent efforts in EPC tags and RFID technology attempt to achieve an appropriate kind of interaction between technical and business areas. In this paper, we explore the fundamental characteristics of RFID and EPC applications and then review the different research studies of RFID technology and EPC system that have been proposed new theories and concepts that have emerged and utilized in different business fields of manufacturing and logistics. It provides an overview of the study achievements within the domain and critically evaluates the various approaches through the use of a case study and the construction of its comparison framework. The different research studies indicated that RFID and EPC systems will become more pervasive in the future and the changes that occur over the next few years will make for a further fascinating research area.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the user requirements and developer requirements in virtual reality(VR), and suggest ways to increase the satisfaction of users who experience virtual reality. Specifically, focused on experience store of VR as a distribution retailer, user requirements were analyzed according to the results of previous research that the characteristics of Affordance, Presence, and Head Mounted Display (HMD) affect user satisfaction. Research, design, data, and methodology - Based on previous studies, in this study, we analyzed the importance of immerse, interaction, perception, and presence for the satisfaction of the user through the questionnaire, and the user experiences virtual reality (VR) The importance of HMD, Presence, Affordance, and experience satisfaction were analyzed. Based on this, we analyzed the user requirements and the developer requirements based on the questionnaires and interviews of the experts, starting from the user's desire or preference using QFD technique. Results - As a result of the analysis, the development factors that occupied a big part in the virtual reality field appeared to be visual. In detail, this showed that there was a lack of sense of presence for users. This should be improved. This paper shows that the requirements for visual, auditory, and tactile development are necessary. For the satisfaction of the users of virtual reality (VR) users, it is necessary to develop them according to their priority in consideration of importance and difficulty in the future. Conclusions - In this study, it was suggested that development according to priority should be considered, considering the difficulty level. Based on the results of this study, the following suggestions are made. First, we tried to search the list of user requirements as much as possible, but it is likely to change due to the development of VR technology. Therefore, it is necessary for developers to continually supplement user requirements with recent research literature. Second, development priorities according to difficulty level should be considered. This aspect should be considered in the actual VR development process, so if the numerical value of the difficulty is calculated, it should be presented in the research.
