  • In a highly competitive marketplace, U.S. retailers are challenged to attract, recruit, and retain a skilled workforce. The purpose of our research was to examine the impact of young retail employees' work experiences on their job performance, job satisfaction, and career intention using a comprehensive approach to model development. The model was developed in three phases over a four-year period using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. During Phase 1, we conducted focus group interviews to guide the development of the questionnaire. Work experience was initially operationalized as role conflict, role ambiguity, supervisory support, and work involvement. Using a student sample(n=470) from U.S. universities, we employed multiple regression to determine the significance of relationships between their work experience, job satisfaction, and retail career intention. During Phase 2, we expanded our investigation to include retail work experiences of teens employed while they were in high school. The teen sample(n=898) was drawn from students enrolled in work-study programs in 16 U.S. high schools, and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (hereafter SEM). During Phase 3, we expanded our model to include two new variables, job characteristics and job performance. Based on a national sample(n=803) of U.S. university students, we employed SEM to holistically determine if retail employees' work experience impacted their job performance, job satisfaction, and retail career intention. During each phase, job satisfaction consistently was the superior antecedent of retail career intention. Among the work experience variables, supervisory support had a positive impact on job satisfaction, while role conflict, role ambiguity, and work involvement exhibited inconsistent effects on job outcomes. The strong relationship between job satisfaction and retail career intention should make job satisfaction a priority for retailers.

  • This paper compares the price strategies of Korean internet retailers against those of Korean traditional retailers in regard to books, CD\\`s, cosmetics, softwares, PC and peripherals, and electronic home appliances. The data shows that the average prices of books, CD\\`s, and cosmetics are cheaper in the internet market than in the traditional market when there is a large purchase. However, when there is a small purchase, the average prices of books and CD\\`s are more expensive in the internet market than in the traditional market. In other cases, the difference of the average prices in the two markets was negligible. When there is a large purchase, the dispersion of prices of books is smaller in the internee market than in the traditional market. In other cases, the dispersion of prices is smaller in the internet market than in the traditional market, but the difference was negligible to be statistically significant. The findings imply that internet retailers generally pursue a specialization strategy against traditional retailers by factors other than prices. Internee retailers seem to pursue price competition against traditional retailers only for large purchases in some cheap commodity industries. It is also found that the internet shopping-malls managed or owned by existing traditional retailers or manufactures are rare and are operated dependently on existing distribution channels. The findings also imply that the Internet market begins to be established only in some cheap commodity industries and the Internet market has yet to be generally established in Korea.

  • 최근 전력산업의 구조적인 측면에서는 수직적 형태의 분리 및 경쟁 도입, 그리고 민영화를 통한 효율 증진 등 전력산업 개편이 전세계적으로 이루어지고 있다. 전력산업의 개편 과정에서 전력공급자(ESP)는 불완전한 시장으로 인한 재정적인 위험에 직면한다. ESP가 재정적인 위험에서 근본적으로 벗어나기 위해서는 합리적인 전기 소매 가격의 책정이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 현재 적용되고 있는 고정 소매 가격제에 대한 문제점을 제시하고 이를 극복하기 위해서 전기 공급 도매 가격의 변동성을 예측함으로써 헤징을 통한 새로운 요금제의 도입의 필요성을 제안하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. 본 논문에서 소개될 새로운 요금제인 Critical Peak Pricing(CPP)에서 전기 공급 도매 가격의 변동성의 예측은 CPP 요금을 적용하는데 중요한 역할을 담당하는 지표로 활용된다. CPP 요금을 적용함으로써 ESP의 재정적인 위험을 최소화하고 수요 탄력성이 반영되어 전기 소비자들과의 관계 향상 또한 유도될 수 있다.[4],[6]
