Purpose - The growth in consumers' online shopping has even been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the purchase can be made from any countries online, the purpose is to examine the effect of the country of the online retailer (COOR) on consumers' perceived risk and purchase motivation, focusing on the retailer not on the brand. Design/methodology - Survey data from online shoppers are analized using the structural equation model. Findings - COOR, like COO of the brand manufacturer, positively affect consumer's purchase intension. First, the images and the perceived psychic distances of the COOR affects both perceived risk and purchase confidence. Secondly, this perceived risk and confidence they put on the transaction then affect the purchase intension of the consumer. Originality/value - We show that the quality of the signal comes not only from the manufacturer-branded product item itself with a certain COO, but also from the retailer who carries it.

This study investigates the importance of brand and retailer associations when consumers evaluate a product category extension in the context of brand and retailer collaborations. Although brand extensions are considered to reduce costs for introducing a new product category, limited study has focused on the role of brand and retailer associations in the context of brand and retailer collaborations. Using a total of 440 participants, a hypothesized model was tested using a structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that brand and retailer associations influence the perceived fit between a brand and a retailer. In addition, the image fit and quality fit are significantly related to brand and retailer attitudes as well as brand extension evaluation. Since consumers may use their associations with brands or retailers when they perceive product differentiation, market position, and brand extensions, the role of brand or retailer associations is important to marketers, retailers, and consumers. Given the importance of brand and retailer collaborations as a brand positioning strategy in the global branding and retail setting, the findings of this study contribute to brand and retail management by providing empirical evidence on how consumers perceive new products from extended brands in the marketplace when a brand collaborates with a retailer.

본 연구는 중국에 진출한 글로벌 소매상을 대상으로 실증분석을 통해 서비스 마케팅믹스 요인이 현지고객의 만족도와 충성도에 미치는 영향력을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 선행연구를 근거로 3개의 연구가설을 설정한 후 구조방정식모형을 이용해 가설을 검증하였다. 분석결과, 서비스 마케팅믹스 요인이 고객만족에 직접 영향을 미치고, 고객만족은 충성도에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 서비스 마케팅믹스 요인이 충성도에 직접 영향을 미치지 않음으로써, 고객만족이 서비스 마케팅믹스와 충성도 간의 중대한 매개 역할을 한다고 판단할 수 있다. 또 서비스 마케팅믹스 7Ps 가운데 촉진을 제외한 다른 요인들은 모두 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 비록 촉진요인의 신뢰도가 낮게 나타났지만, 글로벌 소매상들이 중국시장에 성공적으로 진출하기 위해서는 촉진을 포함한 서비스 마케팅믹스 요인을 현지 소비문화에 맞춰 적응 및 차별화할 필요가 있다는 점을 본 연구결과가 시사한다.

Facing a mature domestic market and the challenges of the global consumer market, retailers in Taiwan are in pursuit of international development strategies for increasing its market opportunities as one of its key growth strategies. In the global market, the Chinese market becomes Taiwan retailers' main international development milestone due to its similarity of language, culture and historical background with China. Therefore, this research uses case study method based on Eclectic paradigm (Dunning 1981) to explore the various advantages of a Taiwanese children's clothing retailer Les Enphants, which include ownership advantage, internalization advantage, and location advantage. These advantages in turn demonstrate rationales behind Les Enphants' internationalization necessity (Why to Go), selecting China as an expansion target (Where to Go), and management and operation strategies implemented in China (How to Go). Our study highlights a successful entry and expansion model of the Taiwanese children clothing retailer, and may have solid contribution to the practical application of internationalization strategy theory.

Purpose - The structure of retailing has changed as retailers develop markets in response to business environment changes. This study aims to analyze the general situation of retailers in order to predict future global strategy using case studies of overseas expansion strategy and the Metro Group's global strategy. Research design, data, and methodology - The backgrounds to the new retail business model and retailer classification are analyzed as theoretical data. In addition, the key success point of the Metro Group's "cash and carry" strategy is analyzed as is the Metro Group's global CFAR (collaborative planning, forecasting, and replenishment) strategy. Finally, the plan for cooperation and precise forecasting under the Metro Group's supply chain management are analyzed from the promotion environment viewpoint. Related materials analyzed included the 2012 annual report, the Metro Group's web page, and a video interview with the executive in charge of global strategy and the new market development department. Some data were revised to avoid disrupting essential aspects of the case studies. Results - The important finding was that the Metro Group could be a world-class retail company with its successful global expansion strategy. The Metro Group's global strategy's primary goal is to have a leading business position in Eastern and Western Europe. The "cash and carry" strategy is highest priority in its overseas expansion strategy. Moreover, the Metro Group has standardized product planning capacity, which could be applied in various countries with different structural and cultural backgrounds. This is the main reason that the Metro Group could rapidly become successful in the Eastern Europe and Asian markets through its structural overseas expansion strategies. In addition, the Metro Group emphasizes the importance of supply chain management. Conclusions - First, retailers should create additional value through utilizing the domestic market, market power, and economies of scale to launch a global strategy to maximize benefits from diversification. Second, the political, economic, and cultural background of the target country needs to be understood to successfully implement the overseas expansion strategy. Third, the main factor of successful cooperation with a local partner is how quickly the company gains total understanding of the business resources and core competence of its partner. All organizations should focus on the achievement of goals in order to successfully operate the partnership. Fourth, retailers should improve their business, financial and organizational structure. Moreover, the work processes and company culture should also be improved to respond strongly in the competitive global market. Fifth, the essential point of a successful retail business is the control capacity of its branding and format. The retailer could avoid forecasting errors through supply chain management by perfectly distributing the actual amount of its inventory. In addition, the risks along the supply chain are effectively shared between the supply chain partners. Finally, the central tendency of the market is to gain in strength with this taking place across all parts of the business.

The purpose of this study was to analyze how economic factors (economic satisfaction, economic conflict) and non-economic factors (non-economic satisfaction, non-economic conflict) differentially influence Korean retailers' long-term orientation with manufacturers, and how they are influenced by manufacturers' power sources under different levels of retailer dependence. After Korean retailers were divided into high and low dependence groups, path differences between the two groups were compared. The results suggested that manufacturers' coercive and non-coercive power sources do not differentially influence high and low dependence retailers' economic and non-economic satisfaction, and economic and non-economic conflict. However, the economic satisfaction of low dependence retailers more strongly affects their long-term orientation than that of high dependence retailers. Also, the economic conflict of highly dependent retailers more strongly affects their long-term orientation as compared to low dependence retailers. Finally, the impact of non-economic conflict negatively influences a long-term orientation for both retailer groups.

신제품 개발 과정에서 성공적인 혁신을 창출하기 위해서는 외부 파트너와의 원활한 협력관계 뿐만 아니라 부서 간 장벽을 허무는 노력도 요구된다. 이 연구는 대중소 기업간 신제품 개발 협력과정에서 혁신창출의 성공요인들이 어떻게 작용하는지 분석하였다. 대형 소매업체와 두 개의 중소협력사들의 협력관계 구축을 통한 신제품 개발 과정에 대한 사례 분석을 실시한 결과 적어도 단기적으로는 중소협력사들이 매우 큰 성장율을 달성하였음을 발견하였다. 기업 간 협력을 통한 혁신의 성공요소들 가운데, 대기업의 관계 특정적 투자가 중소협력업체의 참여 동기에 결정적 영향을 미쳤음을 발견하였다. 또한 두 개의 중소협력사들이 직접 상호작용하는 이른바 '폐쇄적' 네트워크를 구축하여 신제품 개발에 필요한 지식을 창출함으로써 짧은 시간에 고품질의 상품개발에 성공할 수 있었다. 식품산업에서 소매업체와 공급업체간 협력에 의한 신제품 개발에 관한 기존 연구들이 커뮤니케이션 문제를 야기하는 상호 입장 차이를 성패결정의 핵심요소 중 하나로 보았으나 본 연구에서는 대기업과 중소기업간 협력의 경우 대형 소매업체의 주도적 역할이 오히려 핵심적 기능을 한 것으로 나타났다.
