Abstract

In order to present a realistic alternative to agricultural product brands which achieve quantitative growth but minimal qualitative growth, this study attempted to identify the structural factors that affect the agricultural product brand equity and quantitatively analyze the effects of the structural factors on the brand equity. For the quantitative analysis, a survey was conducted among customers with a structured questionnaire. The major results of the analysis are as follows. First, the structural factors of the agriculture product brand equity were theoretically reviewed through many preceding studies in regard to the brand and brand equity. Awareness, quality and loyalty were selected as the structural factors of the agriculture brand equity. Second, when the sub-structural factors of the agriculture product brand equity were analyzed, it was found that awareness includes familiarity, first reminding level, general awareness, sub-awareness, frequency of reference and level of people's logo recollection. Quality includes quality consistence, quality reliability, quality stability, general quality and quality for price. Loyalty includes recommendation, purchase intention, cost premium and repurchase intention. Third, in the analysis of the factors of awareness, quality and loyalty were found to be statistically significant at the 1% level of significance, and it turned out that the higher the awareness, quality and loyalty, the higher the brand equity. Fourth, the factors most influencing the brand equity differed from those obtained using the standardized coefficients. The highest standardized coefficients of the factors on rice and condiment vegetables were those for quality with values of 0.486 and 0.581, respectively, and the highest standardized coefficients of the factors on fruits and fruit vegetables were those for loyalty with values of 0.536 and 0.490, respectively. Finally, it was found to be more effective to develop brand policies using an approach based on awareness, quality and loyalty by item. Also, focusing on enhancing the quality when developing brand policies for rice and vegetables, or focusing on enhancing loyalty when developing brand policies for fruit and vegetables was found to be more efficient using the limited resources.

농산물 브랜드는 양적인 성장은 이루었지만 질적인 성장이 미미한 현실에 대안을 제시하기 위해 본 논문에서는 농산물 브랜드자산의 구성요인을 발굴하고, 구성요인들이 브랜드자산에 미치는 영향을 계량적으로 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 소비자들에 대한 구조화된 설문지를 활용하여 통계분석에 사용하였으며, 주요 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 브랜드 및 브랜드자산 관련 다양한 선행연구들을 중심으로 농산물 브랜드자산 구성요인에 대한 이론적 검토를 진행하였으며, 농산물 브랜드자산의 구성요인을 인지도, 품질력, 충성도로 설정하였다. 둘째, 농산물 브랜드자산의 세부 구성요인에 대해 요인분석 결과 인지도는 친숙도, 최초상기도, 일반적 인지도, 보조인지도, 회자정도, 로고기억정도, 품질력은 품질 지속성, 품질 신뢰성, 품질 안전성, 전반적 품질정도, 가격대비 품질 우수성, 충성도는 주위권유, 구매의도 가격프리미엄, 재구매의향이 선정되었다. 셋째, 농산물 브랜드자산에 미치는 요인에 대한 영향력을 분석한 결과 인지도, 품질력, 충성도 수준 모두 1% 유의수준에서 통계적으로 유의하게 나타나 해당 수준이 높아질수록 브랜드자산이 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 넷째, 표준화계수를 활용한 브랜드자산에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 구성요인은 쌀과 조미채소는 품질력의 표준화계수가 각각 0.486와 0.581로 제일 높에 나타났고, 과수와 과채는 충성도가 각각 0.536과 0.490으로 가장 높게 분석되었다. 최종적으로 작목에 따른 브랜드 육성정책에 있어서 인지도, 품질력 및 충성도 측면으로부터 접근한 다양한 정책을 개발하는 것이 효과적인 결과를 유발할 수 있으며, 쌀과 조미채소는 정책적 주안점을 품질력제고 관련 정책에 집중하고, 과수와 과채는 충성도제고 관련 정책에 보다 집중하는 것이 제한된 자원을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 방향이라고 할 수 있다.
