Merchandisers played important roles in making major decisions on cost price, sales price, manufacturing request, delivery data, production quantity, produce mix, budget planning, market timing and delivery channels. Products planning was conducted mostly on a monthly basis. Price was determined mainly according to cost price, while the production quantity depended on the last year's sales. Usually sales were analyzed on a daily basis. 3.

본 연구에서는 대형 머천다이저의 위협이라는 적대적 환경에 대응하는 중소 소매점의 경쟁전략, 전략집단, 마케팅역량 그리고 소매성과의 상호관계를 실증적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 본 논문에서는 위의 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 전국에 있는 325개의 중소 소매점을 대상으로 자료를 수집하였다. 중소 소매점들이 추구하는 경쟁전략은 가격우위, 머천다이즈 차별화, 서비스차별화 등의 세 가지 경쟁전략으로 뚜렷하게 구분되었고, 군집분석을 통하여 분류된 전략군집은 속수무책 유형, 서비스차별화 유형, 가격우위 유형, 그리고 머천다이즈 차별화 유형으로 나타났다. 분석결과 가격우위군집과 머천다이즈 차별화군집 심지어 속수무책군집도 환경의 적대성을 낮게 지각하는 중소 소매점들이 높게 지각하는 점포들보다 유의하게 높은 소매성과를 달성하였다. 반면에 전략군집과 적대성의 상호작용에 따른 조절효과는 유의하게 소매성과에 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 또한 마케팅역량에서는 머천다이즈 차별화 군집, 가격우위 군집, 서비스차별화 군집, 속수무책 군집 순서로 마케팅역량을 높게 획득하였다. 마지막으로 중소 소매점들의 매출액 성장률 등의 점포성과는 머천다이즈 차별화 군집이 가장 높게 나타났으나 가격우위 군집과 서비스차별화 군집의 소매성과는 유의한 차이가 없었다.
