Abstract

Faced with the recent global economic recession, academics looked to the industrial B2B and B2C markets as potential new growth engines. In the B2B market, focusing on the relationship with customers, the relationship benefits are important, and institutional factors will affect the relationship and relationship values with customers. In this study, the relationship values between South Korea and Taiwan are compared by considering their national characteristics. By applying a mixed research method based on sequential exploratory design, 6 relationship values (supplier knowhow, service support, time to market, delivery performance, personal interaction, and product quality) are extracted. In particular, South Korea and Taiwan give priority to supplier knowhow and service support, respectively. Our research findings have both theoretical and practical implications for other emerging countries, as well as developed countries.

장기적인 글로벌 경기침체의 여파로 소비재 기반의 B2C 시장 외에 산업재 기반의 B2B 시장이 새로운 성장 동력으로 주목받고 있다. 고객과의 관계가 중요한 B2B 시장에서는 고객과의 관계에서 발생하는 효용을 기반으로 하는 관계가치가 중요하고, 국가나 조직의 제도적 특수성도 관계 및 관계가치에 영향을 준다. 특히, 한국과 대만의 B2B 시장에서 창출되는 고객과의 관계가치들을 도출하여 국가별 특수성을 비교하고 글로벌 B2B 시장의 관계가치와 비교하였다. 순차적 탐색 설계에 기반한 혼합방법론을 적용하여 분석한 결과, 한국과 대만의 B2B 시장에서 요구되는 관계가치의 6가지 유형(공급자 노하우, 서비스 지원, 출시시기, 전달 성능, 개인 상호작용 및 제품의 품질)을 도출하였다. 한국은 대기업 기반의 시장 특성을 가져 '공급자의 노하우'가 가장 중요한 관계가치로 인식되었고, 반면 대만은 중소기업 기반의 시장 특성을 가져 '서비스 지원'이 가장 중요한 관계가치로 도출되었다. 본 연구결과는 다른 아시아 개발도상국들도 B2B 시장에서 비즈니스 관계 개선을 위해 집중해야할 관계가치로 시사점이 있으며, 아시아 B2B 시장에서의 성공사례로 글로벌 시장으로 역으로 적용될 수 있다는 점에 의의가 크다.
