SSM

I have listened about presentation on SSM that second group have presented.
Then, What is SSM? It stands for Super Supermarket. So, those SSM runs by
large distributor and they are actually bigger than those general supermarket and
convenience store but smaller than thos hyper supermarket. There are examples of
SSM such as GS Supermarket, Homeplus Express, E-mart Everyday etc.
Then, what is the issue about this topic?

The problem is emergence of these SSM makes small supermarkets, owned by individual,
difficult to survive in the area of market competitions. This resulted as largely decrease
in those small supermarkets and this directly connected to increasing number of
unemployment. Because those owner have to close their shops. These are the reasons
why some people disagree with SSM. But there are also many good things about it.
So I am positive with SSM.

I think SSM is the combinations of all advantages of small supermarket, convenience
store and hyper supermarket. For examples, they are placed near at dwellings
so people could go and get things very easily. And also they have various kind of
products such as agro, livestock and marine which those small super markets and
convenience stores don't have. In addition, they sell products in low price and runs
for quite long time. That's why SSM is welcomed by many costomers. I know that
there are some disadvantages as i said before, but still SSM is comfortable for me
since i am in a costomer position.
