Globalization and the emergence of new markets has placed increased emphasis on cross-cultural sales and marketing research. Despite considerable advances in the personal selling literature, little is known about the cross-cultural transferability of key constructs. Given the degree to which well-accepted relational sales behaviors such as ASB and customer oriented selling reflect Western values such as individualism and low uncertainty avoidance, the relative efficacy of such practices in alternative cultural context is less clear. Using a Korean sample, our results confirm the beneficial direct effects of these relational selling practices upon performance. However, we also find strong workgroup interdependence diminishes the effects of ASB and that performance fully mediates the relationship between both sales behaviors and job satisfaction. In contrast to prior results, we find female salespeople and those newer to their position demonstrate stronger ASB.

One of the first important strategic decisions when a starting an organic marketing initiative (OMI) is to plan the right strategy for distributing products. This decision depends to a large extent on whether the OMI has chosen a quality-premium product strategy or a price-quantity strategy. All distribution decisions interact strongly with other aspects of the marketing mix. Where and how a product is distributed objectives, its chosen strategy and the availability of human and capital resources. To select a market channel, frequent contact and discussions with possible partner are important. Generally, a distribution is made between the direct and indirect physical distribution of organic products to consumers. The longer the supply chain, the lower the chances that an OMI can steer the market through its own marketing measures and convince consumers through its own promotion activities. Generally speaking, the shorter the chain between OMI products and the final consumer, the less dependent the OMI will be on the success of other market actors. Direct selling activities to the retail or food industries also requires an OMI to undertake additional processing and marketing activities. For example, retailers often expect products to have been packed and labelled ready for sale. To conclude, distribution channels should be chosen in accordance with the product and price policy as well as the management capacity of the OMI.

Purpose - Recently, domestic pharmaceutical market is growing steadily, but top-tier companies are concentrating on sales growth. In this market, SMEs, which account for more than 80% of the entire market, suffer from the problem of lower margins and increasing inventory costs. According to the government's policy changes related to pharmaceuticals, it is pointed out that the management of existing customers and the control of salespeople are important issues for pharmaceutical companies. This study investigates the effect of the control system on the salesperson in domestic pharmaceutical distribution channel on customer-oriented selling behaviors and sales performance. Research design, data, and methodology - To verify the proposed research model and test hypotheses, the authors selected 244 MR(medical representatives)'s responses which have currently relationship with doctors or pharmacists. This study carefully investigated the reliability, content validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the proposed model. Results - The authors find out the following results: capacity control, activity control, and self control have positive effects on customer-oriented selling behaviors and customer-oriented selling behaviors have a positive effect on sales performance. In addition, we present alternative model to check the direct effect between the control systems and the sales performance, but control system factors except self control have no direct influence. Conclusions - First of all, competency control and activity control increases the customer-oriented selling behavior of the salesperson. This means that the salesperson's sales skill, negotiation skill, customer access skill, presentation ability, monitoring, direction and evaluation are important and it is also important to control activities to check the number of visits to customers, report preparation, and customer service etiquette. Second, the fact that self-control of salesperson affects the customer-oriented selling behavior suggests that self-control is not controlled by external factors but rather establishes short/long-term goals. Therefore, it is important for sales organization to create an environment in which members can induce persistent incentives for self-control. Finally, output control did not affect customer-oriented sales behavior, which is less likely to form confidence or motivation to MRs when output control is perceived as a means of monitoring, supervising, or controlling rather than providing information to salespeople.

농산물 직거래는 생산자와 소비자를 직접 연결하면서 중간유통비용을 절감하고 이를 통해 생산자와 소비자 모두에게 만족을 줄 수 있는 대안적인 유통경로이다. 이러한 역할때문에 최근 온라인 농산물 직거래에 대한 관심이 다시 높아지고 있다. 하지만 농산물 직거래는 중간유통단계를 생략하는 것이기 때문에 생산자가 그 역할을 대신하여야 하기에 다양한 장애요인을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 직거래를 추진하고 있는 농업인을 대상으로 직거래 장애요인을 파악하고, 직거래 활성화를 위하여 농촌진흥청에서 수행하고 있는 e-비즈니스 교육을 어떤 방향으로 이끌어가야 할지에 대하여 방향을 제시하였다. 그 결과, 교육 프로그램 보완, 개인역량 강화, 협업화, 농업인들이 희망하는 교육 확대 등이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

본 사례는 직접판매기업에서 지식유통이 기업성과에 얼마나 많은 영향을 미치는지를 정리한 논문이다. 특히 본 사례논문에서는 직접판매기업에서 강력한 비전과 정직성을 갖춘 리더십 이 고객신뢰와 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 상세한 관련 자료와 전략사례를 근거로 설명하고 있다. 국내외에서 이미 다양한 직접판매기업들이 활발한 경영활동을 하고 있지만 이를 지식유통의 관점에서 분석한 시례가 부재한 문제점을 본 사례논문이 어느 정도 보완하고 있다는 점에서 본 사례논문의 실무적 가치가 있다.
