  • The Emergence of a Mass Market and the Dynamics of Retail Forms in Korea Insoo Baek
    The Emergence of a Mass Market and the Dynamics of Retail Forms in Korea Insoo Baek In this paper, I examine the evolution of major retail forms— supermarkets, department stores, discount stores, and convenience stores—in Korea during three phases from the 1970s to the 1990s. Korea provides a useful comparison to Japan, showing how two nations subject to similar pressures from mass markets have experienced difficult structural and operational changes within retailing. Particular emphasis is given to changing markets and competition among retail forms and the relation of those factors to operating systems. I find that, although the dynamics of retail change in later developed countries create similar innovations in retail forms, plural paths of adaptation occur across national boundaries because of differences in markets, competition, and operating systems. Economic development in Korea radically changed the forms of retailing in the country within a short period. The rapid economic growth not only boosted production but also increased private spending, causing a boom in consumption. Taking advantage of this business opportunity, a modern type of retailing, different from traditional forms, has emerged recently and has itself become a factor in maintaining economic growth. Research focusing on spending patterns and on distribution (a channel that connects spending and production) is necessary to understand the process of Korean economic development. Yet much of the research to date has approached the subject from the production side and has neglected consumption. This could be the result of considering de- mand only in the export market while overlooking demand in the domestic ____________ I wish to thank the commentator and audience members at the “Retailing and Distribution” session of the Business History Conference (June 2003) for their assistance in developing my ideas about this article.

  • Mass Prestige Brands – the End of Traditional Luxury Brand Marketing?
    Ekonomia Międzynarodowa 27 (2019) http://dx.doi.org/10.18778/2082-4440.27.03 Mass Prestige brands – the end of traditional luxury brand marketing? Joanna Pietrzak*1 Introduction The luxury goods market has shown significant growth during the last decade and is regarded as one of the most lucrative business areas globally due to its resilience to economic downturns. In 2017, the aggregated sales of the world’s 100 biggest luxury goods companies reached 247 billion USD, showing 10.8 percent annual growth and a composite net profit margin of 9.8 percent (Deloitte 2019). For ma- ny years, the luxury goods industry has maintained its exclusive and elitist image and concentrated solely on a narrow niche of wealthy consumers able to afford highly-priced articles produced in limited numbers. This characteristic feature of the luxury goods market has been undergoing radical change recently, challenged by three major trends, namely: (1) the growing number of wealthy consumers worldwide; (2) the changing demographics of consumer segments with access to luxury goods; (3) the technological revolution and the omnipresent internet as a communications tool and distribution channel. Over the past several years, a substantial increase in individual financial wealth has been taking place globally. The number of wealthy individuals grew noticeably, not only in traditionally prosperous countries like the USA, Japan, or Western European countries but also in emerging ones like China, India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Brazil, or Poland. According to the Capgemini World Wealth Report (Capgemini 2019), in 2018, there were 18 million people whose liquid financial assets exceeded 1 million USD.

    The Marketing & Advertising Technology Report: New & future trends to leverage 5 Foreword/About This Study This report is intended to provide recipients with a deeper understand of the fast changing landscape that is the convergence of technology and marketing/advertising. This document offers not current digital intelligence but also cultural intelligence around consumer behavior and mindset, now and trending in the future. Lauren deLisa Coleman, digi-cultural trend analyst, along with Lnk Agency, specialists in deciphering and forecasting trends within the convergence of culture & emerging technology and studying the impact of such on business and governance, have tracked, analyzed and interviewed key researchers, C-Suite executives, data science trends, and ethnographic settings to create a unique offering that provides opportunity identification, analysis and outook for the coming year period. It is no longer sustainable to solely do studies over a year(s) long period when the industry is moving at such a rapid pace, therefore, our reports are intended for real-time, of-the-moment snapshots to more completely support today’s executive demands. Further, presentation of hard statistics without true cultural intelligence applications and observations around them are not holistic enough for the skill that is needed today to truly engage with today’s popular culture, tech-savvy individuals. Thus, we are presenting a newer style in professional report documentation. This study reflects some of the key findings. 2 Executive summary: Digital Advertising/Marketing and consumer engagement in the United States is a massive, growing market undergoing a significant technology-driven evolution. Technology is reshaping the way consumers engage with advertising and marketing messages and, in turn, how media, advertising companies, and marketing profes- sionals create and delivery strategy.

  • Make Your Marketing Relevant by Curtis Schroeder, MBA Candidate Imagine the 60-Foot-Long Boat of the U.S
    KELLER CENTER RESEARCH REPORT INSIDER: Make Your Voice Heard – Make Your Marketing Relevant By Curtis Schroeder, MBA Candidate Imagine the 60-foot-long boat of the U.S. women’s national rowing team cutting across a crystal-clear lake in a heated 2,000-meter race. As the team synchronously rows their oars back and forth, they look forward and eagerly await direction from the coxswain, the competitor/coach seated in the stern of the boat in front of them. The coxswain calls out commands to influence the behavior of her team: Let it glide! Hold starboard! Power 10! Competing with the coxswain’s messages are the noises the boats and oars make in the water, the voices of the other competitors, and the roars of the crowd cheering their teams on to victory. For the coxswain to be most effective in her role, she knows that her team must establish a strong game plan before the race begins. To win, she must understand the makeup of her team, establish clear and concise signals that her team can recognize and respond to during the race, and communicate those signals quickly and at exactly the right times. Otherwise, the coxswain’s messages will be lost in the competing noise of the race and her team will fail to reach their potential. Sandra Zoratti and Lee Gallagher’s principles of precision marketing in their new book, Precision Marketing: Maximizing Revenue Through Relevance, parallel the roles of the coxswain. To win the race – or to generate the highest potential Return on Investment (ROI) in today’s marketplace – Zoratti and Gallagher argue that marketers must become increasingly relevant.
