국내 약사법에서는 약 판매를 약국에 한정하고 있다. 이로 인해 심야나 공휴일에 약 구입이 어려워 소비자 선택폭이 제한되어 소비자 불편이 가중되고 있다. 또한 급속한 고령화의 진전은 노인의료비를 급격히 증가시켜 국가 의료보험 재정을 악화시키는 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 한편 미국, 일본 등 선진국들은 자가치료(self-medication)를 지원하는 관점에서 안전성과 유효성이 검증된 일반의약품에 대해서는 편의점이나 슈퍼마켓 등 일반 소매점에서의 판매를 허용하고 있다. 특히, 세계적으로 안전추구 경향이 강한 일본은 급증하는 의료비를 억제하기 위해 일반의약품의 판매채널을 다양화하였고, 그 결과 경제, 사회분야에 다음과 같은 다양한 규제완화 효과를 얻게 되었다. 첫째, 일반의약품의 유통채널이 약국에서 일반 소매점포로까지 확대되면서 잠재수요가 유발되어 관련시장이 확대되었다. 둘째, 판매채널 간 경쟁이 촉진되면서 의약품 가격이 하락했다. 셋째, 의약품 판매채널 증가로 소비자의 선택폭이 확대되었고 소비자 이용 편리성이 증대되었다. 넷째, 판매채널 다원화로 경쟁 환경이 조성되면서 기업의 경쟁력 제고 노력을 가속화시켰다. 다섯째, 자가치료 환경조성을 통해 의료비 재정건전성 제고 기반을 마련했다. 국내 65세 이상 인구는 2000년에 7%를 넘어섰고 2018년에는 14%를 웃돌 것으로 보여 국민의료비 증가는 가속화될 전망이다. 우리도 의료선진국과 같이 고령화시대를 대비하는 차원에서 일반의약품의 판매처를 다양화하여 자가치료 환경을 조성함으로써 개인의료비 지출을 줄이고, 국가의료보험 재정건전성을 제고하며, 나아가 소비자 후생을 증진시켜나가야 할 것이다.

Purpose: This study seeks to address the omission through examining the manner in which demographic similarity affects the responses of employees in the retail sector towards horizontal pay dispersion. Through doing so the study will be effective in bolstering the recent efforts of more careful exploration of conditions. Research design, data, and methodology: Scant past studies are available to guide for practitioners in retail sector which compensation strategy might lead adequate job performance for retail sales workers. To suggest possible solution, the present authors used variables of pay dispersion and obtained 317 US retail sale workers in distribution channels to measure the association between pay dispersion and employee job performance. Results: The statistical findings indicated both first and second hypothesis could be acceptable with favorable Beta and T values, resulting high degree of pay dispersion leads a low level of job performance, while a low degree of pay dispersion can motivate retail sales workers to improve their performance. Conclusions: The findings of this study raises an argument that processes of social comparison work in a more vigorous manner. This is thus a representation of the propensity of a retail sales worker to voluntarily resign from an organization when dispersion rates are higher.

Korean cosmetic distribution channels were formerly divided into sales visits and specialty shops, which made up the entire cosmetics market. However, recently the market and cosmetic distribution channels have become much more diversified. Thus, research for this study focused on the usage and purchase situations of cosmetic distribution channels depending on cosmetic type perception. This study also focused on the intent to purchase cosmetics by a cosmetic distribution channel in order to provide a precise cognitive background of consumers regarding cosmetic distribution channels. In doing so, the competitiveness of those channels could be procured and the causal relationships between these variables can be investigated. To achieve these purposes, the research model and hypotheses were derived through literature research on the cosmetics industry, cosmetic distribution channels, and consumers' intent to purchase. A survey was implemented from September $1^{st}$ to $14^{th}$, 2014 for empirical testing. and was given to female consumers in their 20s. 468 out of 500 surveys were collected; a total of 415 were used for analysis while the others were excluded due to with unreliable responses. The SPSS 21.0 program was used for analysis of materials. The overall conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between perception of cosmetic distribution channels and intent to purchase. The above research results may stimulate establishment of marketing implications and research material when establishing marketing strategies to promote cosmetic distribution and consumption.

Purpose - In this study, we aim to explore new distribution strategies for sustainable growth in the era of the 4th industrial revolution, focusing on SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) in Korea, and suggest ways to upgrade the government's official distribution channel to the next level. Design/methodology - First of all, this paper explored the prior research, the current status of sales support for SMEs, and the changes in the distribution industry due to COVID-19 pandemic. Based on Moon (2016)'s ABCD strategic model - Agility, Benchmarking, Convergence, and Dedication, the study then derived directions in which official distribution channels should move and the new distribution strategy for Korean SMEs to secure competitive advantage. Findings - First, in terms of 'Agility', in order to upgrade official distribution channels, which are currently at some competitive disadvantages compared to private distribution companies, we must quickly introduce technologies for the 4th industrial revolution, such as AI, Big Data, etc., and establish precise strategies to strengthen the capabilities of SMEs. Second, in terms of 'Benchmarking', the use of "Chamelezones" has been increasing to enhance the competitiveness of offline stores in line with recent ontact trends. Therefore, official distribution channels should also benchmark such cases, strengthening their competitiveness by utilizing offline spaces more efficiently and effectively. Third, in terms of 'Convergence', in line with the rapidly changing trend of the times, official distribution channels should also promote active partnerships with media commerce, e-commerce and ICT platforms, as well as cooperation with private retailers, and focus on creating synergy effects through them. Finally, from the perspective of 'Dedication', digitalization should be promoted step by step, finding the sector that can accelerate digital among the value chains of official distribution channels, and continuing to discuss how to digitize it realistically. Originality/value - Based on this analysis, we have presented strategies and implications for innovating official distribution channels for SMEs, which will contribute to enhancing the competitive advantage of official distribution channels in the post COVID-19 pandemic era.

스마트폰 보급 확대, 1인 가구 증가 등의 국내 소비 환경 변화 속에서 기존 유통 시장의 주축이었던 대형마트는 매출이 감소하면서 최근 3년 동안 마이너스 성장률을 기록하고 있지만 대형마트 매출 관련된 연구는 주로 영업규제에 따른 효과 분석 위주였으며 다른 유통채널과의 영향관계 분석이나 소비 이동 사유 조사는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 카드사 매출 빅데이터를 활용하여 대형마트 성장률 감소를 소비자의 인구통계학적 변수 및 소비시점 등에 따라 분석하고 로지스틱 회귀 분석을 통하여 대형마트 소비 감소와 다른 유통채널 매출비중 변화와의 관계 등을 실증적으로 규명하였다. 또한 실제 카드소비 데이터 기반 대형마트 소비 감소 소비자를 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하여 다른 유통채널 선택 사유가 무엇인지 밝혔다. 이는 유통채널 소비 변화에 대한 정량적 분석 결과와 정성적인 사유 조사 결과를 융합하여 소비에 대한 입체적인 조망을 하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The influence of a marketing mix on the consumer purchasing process is well documented in academic fields; however, studies of when consumers purchase fashion brands or products in terms of the day-of-the-week effect and 10-days-of-the-month effect on various channels to a given brand in practice are limited in the fashion industry. This study empirically describes the purchase timing behavior for athletic shoes using daily sales data from a domestic brand in Korea from January in 2006 to December in 2010. The results show that Saturday and Sunday have significantly higher sales than weekdays. In addition, the first and third 10-days-of-the-month yield a higher sales volume than the second 10-days-of-the-month. The department store's sales volume (compared with discount and franchised stores) was higher in the first 10-days-of-the-month; however, the discount and franchised stores have a higher sales volume in the second 10-days-of-the-month. Three store types have no significant differences in sales volume for the third 10-days-of-the-month. Based on the results, in practice, marketers for a specific domestic brand can develop a new marketing expenditure plan, store supply plan, and cash-in and cash-out plan to maximize profits. This research can introduce constructs such as purchase timing distribution, the day-of-the-week effect, and the ten-days-of-the-month effect for the fashion industry.
