A Study on the Actual Conditions and Improvement of the Bill Transaction in the Publishing and Distribution Industry

The issue of bill payment was always mentioned whenever there were bankruptcies of bookstores and wholesalers. In response, this research aims to find out the status of the bill transaction and come up with measures to improve the issue for the advancement of the publishing and distribution industries. Some of the reasons why fundamental problems in the publishing and distribution industry have occurred repeatedly without improvement include the payment of bills and the problems of payment methods, the poor management of the distribution and unfair transactions among companies. Accordingly, the paper aims to examine the structure of publication and distribution, characteristics and the size of bill transactions in light of the trend of the bill transactions by the general public, and to come up with measures to improve the situation by comprehensively analyzing the perceptions of the workers. In addition, this paper presents policy plans for improving promissory notes payment practices by consignment sales of publications and preparing a system in order to advance publishing distribution in the rapidly changing distribution environment and FinTech environment in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
