Traditional Market and Modern Market (Softskill)


The definition of the market is always limited by the assumption that states between the buyer and the seller must meet in person to make buying and selling interaction. However, the notion is not entirely correct because as technology advances, the Internet, or even just with the letter. Buyers and sellers do not meet directly, they may just be in a different place or far apart. That is, in the process of market formation, just required a seller, buyer, and the goods are bought and sold and the existence of an agreement between seller and buyer. Examples of markets that is the traditional market and modern market.
Traditional markets are a meeting place for sellers and buyers and sellers are marked with the transaction the buyer directly and there is usually a process of bargaining that occurred.
Most selling daily necessities such as food ingredients in the form of fish, fruit, vegetables, eggs, meat, fabrics, garments, electronic goods, services and others. In addition, some are selling cakes and other items. Markets like these are still commonly found in Indonesia, and are generally located near residential areas and villages to facilitate buyers to reach the market. The negative side of traditional markets is a situation that tends to dirty and shabby so many people are reluctant to shop there. Some traditional markets are "legendary" among other Beringharjo in Yogyakarta, Klewer market in Solo, Johar market in Semarang. The traditional markets in Indonesia continue to try to survive the "attack" of the modern market.
Modern market is not much different from traditional markets, but the market sellers and buyers of this type are not directly bertransakasi but buyers see the price tag listed in item (barcode), located in the building and the ministry conducted independently (supermarkets) or be served by a salesman. The goods are sold, other food ingredients like food, fruits, vegetables, meat, most of the other items sold are items that can last a long time, such as plates, cups, knives, fans, and others.
Unlike traditional market which is identical with a dirty environment, the opposite of modern markets. Therefore, people now tend to choose modern markets as places to shop in order to meet daily needs. An example of a modern market are supermarkets, hypermarkets, supermarkets, and mini market.
