Abstract

This study performs an exploratory investigation of the needs of the customers who use academic information service from a research institute, K, that provides information services for domestic academic institutions of natural science and technology. K institute is planning customized services in order to improve customer satisfaction on the academic information service And therefore, the institute begins the research on customer needs analysis and customer segmentation. The research is regarded as well-timed, because CRM implementation in public organizations has been activated recently. Data mining and data warehousing techniques were used for pilot analyses. For the purpose of customer segmentation, a mixed segmentation model, which adds product life cycle concept to the 'balanced customer segmentation' model, which in turn considers the value of customers from the organizational viewpoint and the value of organizations from the customer's viewpoint, simultaneously, was applied. The result of investigation indicated that, in the case of K, 'balanced customer segmentation' and 'contents reach approach' which uses data warehouse/OLAP, rather than those customer segmentation techniques that are often used within the industry, are the more potent ways of approach. This exploratory case study is expected to provide a useful guideline for 'deriving an organizationally unique CRM model' that recently is one of the hot topics in the CRM area.

본 연구에서는 국내 이학 및 공학 분야의 학술기관에 정보서비스를 제공하는 K연구소를 대상으로 고객의 니즈파악을 위한 탐색적 연구를 시도하였다. K연구소는 제공되는 학술정보 서비스에 대한 고객 만족도를 높이기 위한 일환으로 맞춤형 서비스를 구상하고 있으며, 이에 따라 고객 니즈 분석 및 고객세분화 연구를 시작하였다. 이는 최근 공공기관에서의 CRM도입이 활성화 되는 시점이라서 매우 시의적절한 것으로 평가된다. 파일럿 분석을 위해 사용된 기법은 데이터마이닝과 데이터웨어하우징 기법이다. 고객 세분화에 사용된 기법은 조직 관점의 고객가치와 고객 관점의 조직에 대한 가치를 동시에 고려한 '균형적 고객 세분화' 모형에 고객 수명주기 개념을 추가한 혼합적인 세분화 모형을 적용하였다. 분석 결과 K연구소에서는 산업에서 일반적으로 사용되는 고객세분화 기법보다는 '균형적 고객세분화' 모형과 데이터웨어하우스/OLAP을 이용한 '컨텐츠 도달관점'의 적용이 유력한 접근법으로 파악되었다. 본 탐색적 사례연구는 최근 CRM 영역에서 이슈가 되고 있는 '조직 고유의 CRM 모형 도출'에 하나의 유용한 지침을 제공해 줄 것으로 평가된다.
