Abstract

The market taxonomy approach may lead to the most effective strategy to promote the export of Korean Railway Systems. By prioritizing opportunities in the global marketplace and subsequently identifying market segments, this approach will reveal the most effective market strategies for Korean rail exporters. This study suggests the market potential index. In addition, it also introduces how market segmentation should be done for the global rail supply market. Applying the market taxonomy to derive strategic implications, this study portrays several export projects currently being undertaken by the Korean rail industry.

한국 철도시스템의 해외진출을 위한 효과적 전략을 모색함에 있어 시장유형론적 접근이 필수적이다. 시장선택을 통하여 우선순위 시장을 선별하고 시장세분화를 통하여 각 하위시장의 특성에 적합한 마케팅 전략을 설계하여야 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구는 글로벌 철도공급시장에 적합한 시장유망도 지표체계와 시장세분화 방안을 제시하였다. 아울러 시장유형론적 관점에서 최근 한국의 주요 철도기업이 추진하고 있는 수출유망 프로젝트를 분석하고 철도시스템 수출을 위한 전략적 시사점을 도출하였다.
