Abstract

The objective of this study is to find out the construct of intellectual capital in a fashion company. To this end, the mixed research methods that combined qualitative and quantitative approaches were conducted. Qualitative research was first conducted by in-depth interviews with 16 experts working in the fashion industry, and a questionnaire was then given to 121 fashion companies in order to fulfill the quantitative research portion of this study. The findings of this study are as follows: First, the conceptual structure of intellectual capital in a fashion company was revealed. A fashion company's intellectual capital is composed of 'human capital', 'structural capital', and 'relational capital'. Human capital has three components: a chief executive officer (CEO), members, and a human resource management capability. Structural capital has four components: organizational culture, information management capability, merchandising capability, and product innovation capability. Relational capital has three components: customer equity, marketing capability, and relationship management capability. Second, the conceptual structure of intellectual capital was confirmed via quantitative research analysis. All of the components of intellectual capital have internal consistency, convergent validity, construct validity, and discriminant validity.

본 연구의 목적은 패션기업의 지적자본 구성개념과 그 차원을 규명하고 학문적으로 패션기업의 지적자본에 대한 이론적 체계를 확립하는데 기여하고 실무적으로 패션기업의 경영전략수립에 기초를 제공하고자 한다. 이를 위해 질적연구방법과 양적연구방법을 병행한 통합적 접근법을 이용하여 연구가 진행되었다. 질적연구는 패션기업에 근무하는 전문가 16명을 대상으로 하여 심층면접을 실시하였으며, 양적연구는 면접조사법을 이용하여 설문지가 배포되었으며 총 121부가 회수되어 통계처리에 이용되었다. 분석결과 밝혀진 내용은 다음과 같다: 첫째, 패션기업의 지적자본은 인적자본, 구조자본, 관계자본의 개념으로 이루어져 있음을 알 수 있었다. 인적자본은 최고경영자, 구성원, 인적자원관리력 총 3개의 요소로 구성되어있었으며, 구조자본은 조직문화, 정보력, 상품기획력, 혁신적 신제품 총 4개의 요소가 도출되었다. 관계자본은 관계관리력, 마케팅력, 고객자산 총 3개의 구성요소가 도출되었다. 둘째, 밝혀진 패션기업 지적자본 개념구조를 양적으로 확인한 결과 질적연구결과와 거의 일관되게 나타났으며, 모든 구성요소들은 내적일관성, 수렴타당성, 구성 타당성 및 판별타당성이 확보되어 있었다.
