Purpose - Owing to economic development and rapid globalization, the number of people traveling abroad has increased dramatically in recent years. For instance, according to data from World Tourism Organization, approximately 1,724 million tourists traveled abroad in 2016. This phenomenon has resulted in a change for domestic markets, as they no longer serve only domestic customers but also serve foreign customers as well. Therefore, intercultural service encounters between services providers and customers from diverse cultural backgrounds are becoming more frequent. Especially in the field of retailing, salesperson's customer oriented selling behavior is particularly important for the successful interactions. However, it is hard to find some factors that can improve salesperson's customer oriented selling behavior in intercultural sales encounters. Research design, data, and methodology - A quantitative survey methodology was utilized to collect data on 312 salespeople at duty-free shops located on Jeju Island, Korea. As a tourism-based region, Jeju Island has attracted a large number of foreign tourists since being designated as an international free city in 2002. Owing to this phenomenon, intercultural sales encounters between salespersons and customers from different cultures have become commonplace. Compared to other salespeople, salespeople working in duty-free shops have more frequent intercultural interactions, as over 90% of their total customers are from foreign countries. Additionally, regular professional training programs for salespeople help cultivate cultural intelligence. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 20. Results - This paper explores the role of empathy and cultural intelligence in intercultural sales encounters using a theoretical model incorporating the causal relationships between empathy(cognitive empathy and emotional empathy) and customer oriented selling behavior, as well as the moderating effects of cultural intelligence in these relationships. Conclusions - This study is almost the first to explore the influence of empathy and cultural intelligence in intercultural sales encounters. Thus, this study provides a meaningful contribution to the application of empathy and cultural intelligence in the retailing field and will draw the attention of personal distribution practicers and researchers to the importance of empathy and cultural intelligence. Additionally, this study has useful managerial implications for employee selection, training, and development in retailing firms engaged in intercultural sales encounters.

To develop a shipping company insolvency prediction model, we sampled shipping companies that closed between 2005 and 2023. In addition, a closed company and a normal company with similar asset size were selected as a paired sample. For this study, data of a total of 82 companies, including 42 closed companies and 42 general companies, were obtained. These data were randomly divided into a training set (2/3 of data) and a testing set (1/3 of data). Training data were used to develop the model while test data were used to measure the accuracy of the model. In this study, a prediction model for Korean shipping insolvency was developed using financial ratio variables frequently used in previous studies. First, using the LASSO technique, main variables out of 24 independent variables were reduced to 9. Next, we set insolvent companies to 1 and normal companies to 0 and fitted logistic regression, LDA and QDA model. As a result, the accuracy of the prediction model was 82.14% for the QDA model, 78.57% for the logistic regression model, and 75.00% for the LDA model. In addition, variables 'Current ratio', 'Interest expenses to sales', 'Total assets turnover', and 'Operating income to sales' were analyzed as major variables affecting corporate insolvency.

Purpose - The purpose of this study was to propose a specific and empirical continuous transaction strategy through service quality of improvement to small and medium Korean companies whose main business is B2B distribution and sale of general-purpose SW. Research design, data, and methodology - The research procedure is largely divided into two phases. In the first phase, the service quality, the customer satisfaction, and the continuous transaction research hypothesis and the verification are carried out. Experimental data were collected from 450 companies, CEO companies of SMEs innovation institutes, and 510 companies from medium and large enterprises. From September 15 to October 5, 2015, 215 questionnaires were used. And research hypothesis and test were conducted by SPSS SW Ver. 20. Results - The results of the study confirm that service quality has a positive effect on customer satisfaction and continuous transaction: as the detailed items for improving the service quality, 'responsiveness', 'assurance' and 'empathy' have been adopted. Therefore, there are critical factors of a company's survival through continuous transaction. Conclusions - Through this study, we confirmed that the survival of small businesses require continuous improvement in service quality. Among the factors improving service quality, empathy means service satisfaction of customers; so, it is necessary to continuously improve it by evaluating customer satisfaction. Responsiveness means rapid response to customer needs and reliability; it is necessary to enhance customer responsiveness by continuous job training and service training. Finally, assurance is the same as sales product or after service. This means that it is necessary to not only issue the "supply contract," but also improve the reliability of the sales product by securing the competence of the consulting professional. However, because the service quality measurement factors selected in this study are the measurement factors that are mainly applied to large companies or those in the service industries, it is important to consider the type of sales of software distribution companies.

기업이 고객만족경영을 추구하는 것은 고객만족의 개선이 재무적 성과를 개선시킬 수 있을 것이라는 강한 믿음 때문이라고 볼 수 있으며, 고객만족수준을 높이기 위한 지출도 이러한 믿음에서 비롯되는 것이라고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 고객만족을 높이기 위한 지출이 고객만족에 미치는 영향과 고객만족이 기업의 재무적 성과에 미치는 영향을 확인하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 실증분석은 2003년부터 2006년까지 한국능률협회컨설팅의 고개만족지수가 조사된 서비스업종을 대상으로 금융감독원의 재무자료를 이용할 수 있는 기업을 표본으로 선정하였으며, 기본분석이외에 시차효과와 증분효과를 확인하기 위한 분석도 함께 이루어졌다. 본 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고객만족을 위한 지출과 고객만족지수간의 기본분석에서 판매촉진비와 교육훈련비는 고객만족에 정(+)이 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었지만 광고선전비에서 정(+)의 영향을 확인하지 못하였다. 둘째, 고객만족을 위한 지출이 고객만족에 미치는 영향에 대한 시차효과분석에서는 전기의 고객만족지출이 당기의 고객만족도에 미치는 정(+)의 영향을 확인하지 못하였다. 셋째, 고객만족지수와 재무적 성과간의 기본분석에서는 고객만족도가 매출액영업이익률, 매출액순이익률, 총자산이익률, 자기자본이익률에 유의적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 고개만족수준이 재무적 성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 시차효과분석에서는 전기의 고객만족도가 당기의 재무적 성과에 미치는 정(+)의 영향을 확인하지 못하였으나, 증분분석에서는 고객만족도의 증가가 매출액영업이익률과 총자산이익률의 증가에 유의적인 정(+)의 영향이 있음을 확인하였다.
