Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) is a strategic partnership activity for an enterprise and is expected to be a significant performance element in the current enterprise environment where uncertainty is growing. Despite the effective SRM allows companies to manage quality and inventory throughout their logistics procurement process with their suppliers and increase the profitability of the company, there is a scarce of theory about supplier relationship management (SRM) and many companies are not aware of the importance of SRM and depend only on simple electronic purchasing methods. Therefore, I analyze the H Company as a case company, which is a large domestic company and has reached 2,500 domestic and overseas suppliers. SRM process and its effects are evaluated as (1) Purchasing strategy division 2) Process division (3) IT infrastructure division. By analyzing SRM as one of the management strategies that bring the overall value of enterprise performance up, and by looking at how domestic large corporations manage their suppliers, I hope that manufacturers with many suppliers will recognize the importance of SRM and build an SRM tailored to their business.

College students are the potential income classes preparing for income activities and are the main consumers of the future that are very important. In order to understand the current state of ginseng-related consumption culture of young consumers, this study wanted to examine university students' attitudes toward ginseng-related products and services in the future, and to find out their purchasing status, satisfaction, and intent to purchase them. In doing so, we looked at the relative influence of the relevant variables that affect the intent of the purchase. As a result, the variables that affect college student consumers' intention to purchase ginseng-related products were shown in the order of their reliability, economy, purchasing experience, subjective interest, monthly income, monthly allowance, pride in ginseng, and age. Of these, most of the variables had positive effects, but the average monthly income, monthly allowance, and age had negative effects. In other words, the higher the reliability, economy, and self-esteem of ginseng, the higher the willingness to buy ginseng, the higher the subjective interest in ginseng, the higher the age, the lower the monthly allowance, and the lower the income, the lower the willingness to buy ginseng. To promote college students' consumption of ginseng products, it is necessary to cut prices for the younger generation, enhance the quality of the products for the younger generation, improve the taste to overcome the negative aspects of rejecting the bitter and bitter taste, and, above all, induce consumers' attention. It is also necessary to expand accessibility through the development of convenient and easy-to-eat products for young people and the expansion of sales outlets. Recently, young consumers are interested in new products they have never experienced before, products that are good to certify because of their unique design or packaging, and retro products that stimulate nostalgia in the past, so they need to promote and provide information related to consumption of ginseng products in this regard. Considering the practicality and convenience of consumers, we propose consideration of personal consumers' taste curation services, which reflect their preference for products that are convenient to carry with them in line with various living environments, and can have synergy with other products.

Profitability of farmers has decreased mainly owing to low price while the gross amount of mushroom production has increased continuously in South Korea. In this regard, analyzing patterns of mushroom consumption is believed to be meaningful. We used a panel data set consisting of 667 families, from 2010 to 2015. Based on the panel data, mushroom consumption patterns of people living in city areas were examined. Multiple descriptive analysis methods and frequency analysis approaches were adopted in this study in terms of time and space dimensions, demographic properties, and purchase behaviors. The findings of this studyshow that mushroom purchase is highly dependent on seasonal events, which implies that the product consumption timing is predictable. In addition, yearly purchase amount patterns reflect that superstores have become the major mushroomtrading venues. This directly supports the need to establish supply chain capabilities for mushroom farmers so that they gain more bargaining power against enterprise-type groceries. Finally, functional features of mushroom can be linked with marketing promotion because purchase patterns demonstrate potential needs for healthcare food in mushroom categories. Based on the analyzed patterns, this paper provides insightful implications for policy makers who want to promote mushroom consumption.

자동판매기 매매 관련 분쟁은 한국소비자단체협의회 자율분쟁조정위원회에서 조정을 한다 이 위원회는 사법적 판단과 중재결정이 갖는 단점을 보완하기 위한 사전적 분쟁 해결 장치로서, 분쟁의 당사자가 다른 당사자에 대해 승리를 얻은 게 아니라 서로가 수용할 수 있는 해결책을 발견하여 당사자 모두에게 이익(win-win)이 되는 방향으로 분쟁 해결을 도모하고 있다. 한마디로 합리적으로 분쟁을조정하고 있는 것이다. 과거 방문판매의 비중이 높았을 당시 자판기 관련 분쟁도 많이 발생했다. 특히 소비자들 기망하는 사기 판매도 많아 피해를 당한 억울한 사람들이 조정을 요청하기도 했다. 방문판매의 비중이 줄어들자고 고정 건수도 급감했다. 자판기가 실수요 위주로 재편이 되다보니 꼭 필요한 사람이 자판기를 구매하는 행태가 일반화된 것이다. 이렇게 절대 건수를 줄었지만 분쟁은 여전히 발생하고 있다. 자판기 구매자가 운영을 하다가 계약해지를 하고 싶은 쪽으로 마음이 바뀌는 경우가 가장 많다. 자판기 방문판매는 사업권유거래에 해당되어 소비자가 계약해지를 원하면 판매자는 수용을 해야 한다. 공정거래위원회와 한국자동판매기공업협회가 제정한 <자판기 매매 표준약관>을 기준으로 손율을 적용하고 있는데 계약해지 하는 입장에서 이 손율도 무척 아까울 수밖에 없다. 가능하면 손율을 많이 받으려는 판매자 입장과 적게 적용받으려는 소비자 입장의 중간에서 합리적인 조정활동이 이루어진다. 이 자율분쟁조정위원회에는 한국자동판매기공업협회 임원도 조정의원으로 참여하고 있다. 사업자와 소비자 상호 신뢰를 바탕으로 건전한 소비문화를 만들어 나가기 위해서는 다양한 분쟁 발생 사례에 대한 모범 조정 해결 사례를 명확히 이해하는 게 중요하다. 지금부터는 과연 어떠한 분쟁유형이 발생하고, 조정은 어떻게 이루어지고 있는지 사례들을 예시한다. 한국소비자단체협의회가 발간한 <2010년 자율분쟁조정위원회 조정사례집>에서 발췌를 했다. 이 사례들은 자판기 관련 분쟁에 있어 해결기준을 제시하는데 도움이 되리라 판단된다.

Nowadays, business environment changes with higher consumer demands for corporate social responsibility than before. However, many fashion companies are unaware of such a wave of changing business environment. And they are not so much interested in making any investment or policy for CSR activities. Besides, despite changing environment and consumer demands, there are very few studies dealing with this matter. Thus, this study aimed to find out the proper types of CSR activities for fashion companies. In addition, it also intended to determine potential effects of CSR activities on consumer attitudes and purchase behaviors. The findings are as follows. First, it is found that there are differences in consumers' perceived suitability depending on types of CSR activities of fashion company. Secondly, it is found that the suitability of CSR activities of fashion companies has positive effects on consumer attitudes to fashion companies. Thirdly, the more favorable consumer attitudes to fashion companies owing to their CSR activities are correlated with the higher consumer satisfaction. Fourthly, the more favorable consumer attitudes to fashion companies are also correlated with the higher consumer intention for purchase. Hence, it is required that fashion companies recognize the importance of their CSR activities, and also plan and implement appropriate CSR activities for consumers.

This study investigated the effects that corporate social responsibility (CSR) had on the credibility and image of a food corporation by analyzing the purchasing intention and food purchases of consumers. This analysis was undertaken in an attempt to establish a marketing strategy that meets consumer demands, and the results showed that all CSR activities undertaken by the food corporation had a positive effect on the reliability and image of the corporation and on consumers' purchase intention. The results indicate that the ethical aspect of the CSR activities had the greatest effect while their charitable aspect had the least effect on the reliability and purchase intention of the customers regarding the food corporation. Thus, it appears that establishing of suitable ethical doctrines and guidelines for corporate management by food corporation is effective in emphasizing the ethical aspects of their policies through transparent management by means of fair trade.
