Abstract

Under the recent global business environment and active e-commerce era through digital media, the decision on the exporting companies' brand and web domain development is a very crucial strategic choice. Especially, since web domain development is closely related with company's brand strategy, this study is conducted to research the decisive factors of exporting brand strategy on the basis of the need research results on Korean exporting company's overseas brand and domain development strategy. As presented in statistical results, in case of Korean exporting businesses, the level of OEM brand export was when there was high export competitiveness and the level of OEM brand export was high when there was higher uncertainty about the environment. This supports the hypotheses on the basis of existing research documents. However, the similarities of markets failed to bring out any statistical meaningful influence. As the second result, businesses with high export competitiveness tend to select global brand strategy and businesses with high environment uncertainty tend to choose local brand strategy. However, the similarity of markets failed to show any statistical meaningful influence.

최근의 글로벌 경영환경, 그리고 디지털 미디어를 통한 전자상거래가 활성화되고 있는 상황 하에서 수출기업들의 브랜드 및 웹 도메인 개발에 관한 의사결정은 매우 중요한 전략적 선택이다. 특히 웹 도메인 개발은 기업의 브랜드 전략과 밀접하게 관련되어 있기 때문에 브랜드 개발 시 동시에 개발되는 경우가 대부분이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한국수출기업의 해외 브랜드 및 웹 도메인 개발 전략에 관한 수요조사결과를 토대로 수출브랜드전략의 결정요인을 탐색적으로 고찰하기위하여 실행되었다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 브랜드전략 결정요인으로 수출경쟁력, 시장의 유사성, 환경의 불확실성으로 구분하고 브랜드 전략과의 관계를 회귀분석 하였다. 연구결과 한국수출기업의 경우에 기대한 바와 같이 수출경쟁력이 높을수록 OEM브랜드 수출비중이 낮고, 환경의 불확실성이 클수록 OEM브랜드 수출비중은 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 시장의 유사성은 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 자사브랜드 전략을 사용하고 있는 기업의 경우에도 수출경쟁력이 높은 기업일수록 글로벌브랜드를 선택하는 경향이 높고 환경의 불확실성이 클 경우에는 로컬브랜드 전략을 선택할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타나 가설을 지지하였다. 그러나 시장의 유사성은 글로벌브랜드 전략 또는 로컬브랜드 전략과의 유의미한 통계적 관계를 보여주지 못했다.
