Miles and Snow의 전략유형 및 Porter의 본원전략과 제품 수준의 마케팅 전략 간의 관계를 검증해 보고, 두 사업부 전략유형 간의 관계도 분석하였다 소비재와 산업재를 포함한 102개 전략사업단위에 대해 최고경영자와 마케팅 관리자를 방문 면접하여 조사자료를 수집하였다. 분석결과 Miles and Snow의 전략 유형은 제품시장의 환경관리에 대한 관리적 노력의 적극성 측면에서 전략유형 간에 유의한 차이를 보였으며, Porter의 본원전략과 제품 수준의 마케팅 전략 사이에 유의한 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 두 전략유형 간에 관련성 검증을 통해 Miles and Snow의 조직내부의 관리적 관점과 Porter의 경쟁적 관점의 통합적 접근가능성을 보여 주었다. 본 연구결과 다양한 산업에 있어서 사업부 수준의 전략이 제품 수준의 마케팅 전략 활동에 일관성 있게 나타남으로써 사업부 수준의 전략유형이 제품 수준의 마케팅 전략에도 적용되고 있음을 시사해 주었다.

E-business strategy has interests in Issues of strategic positioning and its impact on firm performance. These studies address the environmental factors as antecedents to strategic decision makings and its consequences such like firm performance. However most studies has not considered the role of business models In explaining e-business firm performance. We adopt Porter's generic strategies to the e-business context. We Identify business models and e-business environmental factors as antecedents and then examine these factors Influence on firm performance. We find that uncertainty of environment has a negatively related to the strategic choices of e-Business firms; in contrast, market turbulence positively affects the level of adoption of all the strategies. Among the strategies, marketing differentiation only makes an Impact on firm performance.

The overall objective of this article is to identify the strategic type of Korean hospitals in terms of Porter's framework and to examine differences in performance of the hospitals across strategic types. A survey was conducted through structured questionnaire for 739 hospitals in Korea and the data from 120 hospitals were utilized in the final analysis. Study results indicate that the most frequently used strategy was 'stuck-in-the-middle strategy'(26.7%), followed by 'focused cost leadership strategy'(24.0%), 'focused differentiation strategy'(20.8%), 'cost leadership strategy'(15.8%), and 'differentiation strategy'(13.7%). Overall, 'focused differentiation strategy' showed superior performance in terms of profitability of services, ability to retain patients and growth in revenue, while 'differentiation strategy' produced relatively low performance in general. Implications of these findings are also discussed.

Internet-based on-line firms have focused on the development of new business models with an assumption that this new model would create their competitiveness. At the same time, off-line firms have opened new marketing channels on the internet in order to defend their position against on-line firms. Based on Porter's well-known generic strategy, this study compares between on-line firms and on-offline firms i) whether these two types of firms take different strategies among cost reduction, marketing differentiation, innovation differentiation, and focus and ii) how the performance of these two types of firms is affected by different strategy types. The result shows that on-offline firms prefer the strategy of marketing differentiation and innovative differentiation while the strategy of cost reduction and focus are taken without significant difference between online firms and on-offline firms. Also it is found that even though the strategy of marketing differentiation and innovation differentiation are more preferred by on-offline firms than on-line firms, these two strategy types have a significant influence on the on-line firms' performance while the focus strategy has a significant influence on the on-offline firms' performance. Other managerial implications are discussed.

Purpose: Establishing a competitive advantage in the aviation market is essential as the competition among domestic airlines intensifies. Therefore, this study examined the management strategies of both large domestic airlines and low-cost airlines. Research design, data, and methodology: This study classified domestic airlines into Full Service Airlines (FSA) and Low Cost Carriers (LCC), examined each airline's current status and characteristics, and conducted case analyses of FSA and LCC based on Porter's generic competitive strategy. Results: The analyses determined that LCC primarily implemented a cost-advantage strategy, and FSA implemented a differentiation strategy. However, as competition intensified, FSA pursued cost-advantage strategies while establishing LCC through subsidiaries. There are various specific cost reduction methods, including service simplicity, scalability, high utilization, low landing fees, low-cost unit, and point-to-point flight strategies. Conclusions: LCCs are focusing on cost advantage strategies that reduce costs; however, the FSA also runs special price events that are as good as LCCs and are comparable to LCCs on some routes. Furthermore, LCC has recently expanded its mid- and long-distance routes, making competition for long-distance routes with major airlines unavoidable.

해상운송 서비스의 특수한 환경적 특성으로 인해 해운기업은 불확실한 경영환경에 노출되기 쉬우며, 환경 불확실성에 대응할 수 있는 적절한 경쟁전략을 활용하여 기업의 경영성과를 달성하는 것은 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 해운기업에서 높은 경영성과 달성을 위해 환경 불확실성에 따라 어떠한 전략을 취할 것인지를 분석하는데 목적이 있다. Porter의 본원적 경쟁전략인 원가우위전략과 차별화전략을 바탕으로 하여 우리나라 외항해운기업을 대상으로 환경 불확실성과 기업의 추구하는 경쟁전략의 관련성을 분석하고, 경쟁전략의 활용정도가 경영성과에 미치는 영향력에 대해 검증하였다. 연구목적 달성을 위해 선행연구와 전문가 개별 인터뷰를 통하여 측정항목을 설정하였고, 설문을 통하여 실증분석을 수행하였으며, 가설 검증에는 OLS회귀분석과 Tobit모형분석을 이용하였다. 본 연구 결과 첫째, 환경 불확실성의 요인 중 변동성은 원가우위전략과 차별화전략의 활용에 영향을 미치고, 다양성은 차별화전략에 유의한 영향력이 있음을 도출하였다. 둘째, 기업의 경영성과는 원가우위전략의 활용을 통해서 달성할 수 있으므로, 해운 서비스를 제공하는데 비용절감의 노력이 요구된다.

Purpose - It is widely accepted that the process of developing marketing strategy is composed of three steps: market segmentation, target market selection and positioning. However, mass marketing strategy based on cost reduction through economies of scale and standardized products, can be also an effective strategic option. Many marketing scholars including Theodore Levitt emphasize the importance of applying the mass production concept to various industries including service industries. Especially, in times of economic downturn, the capability of providing consumers with low-priced, value products can be an important source of competitive advantage, as well as the ability of providing high-priced premium products. Marketers should decide whether they will implement mass marketing strategy or target marketing strategy. The present study theoretically shows that firms should understand the target customers' price elasticity as well as the firm's cost structure in order to make such a strategic decision. Research design, data, and methodology - Instead of implementing an empirical study, this study provides a theoretical(mathematical) investigation on the effect of consumers' price elasticity on a firm's optimal price level, profit, sales volume, revenue, and cost. The results are mostly deduced from derivative calculations and several graphs are utilized to represent the results on the relationships between the variables under study. Results - The analytical results suggest that it is more profitable for a firm to adopt the segment/target marketing strategy (more specifically the differentiation strategy) when the degree of consumers' heterogeneity is high and the proportion of the fixed cost in the total cost is low. On the other hand, if the degree of consumers' heterogeneity is low and the fixed cost is high, it is better to adopt the mass marketing strategy or the cost leadership strategy. The strategy of concentrating on a single target market will be effective when consumers' needs are highly heterogeneous but the fixed cost is high. Any of the three types of generic strategies proposed my Porter(1980, 1985) can be applied when both the consumers' heterogeneity and the fixed cost are low. This study also proposes the contribution-margin-based method for developing the optimal pricing strategy. Conclusions - One of the primary roles of marketers is to find a proper compromise between the two conflicting goals of maximizing customer satisfaction and minimizing cost. In order to do so, he or she should understand the characteristics of the target customers as well as the cost structure of the firm. In addition to the theoretical analyses, this study discusses several business cases and explains how superior companies find the optimal compromise position between these two goals and dominate the market. One of the radical changes recently taking place in business arena is the reduction of production and distribution costs of both physical goods and information due to the advancement and the wide diffusion of information technology. The cost reduction combined with lowered priced elasticity incurred by customized products and services, will enable many firms to adopt the mass customization strategy.
