Abstract

The purposes of this study were (1) to investigate the important selection attributes of coffee brands and the relative positions of major coffee brands on the positioning map through similarities and preferences of coffee brands that customers perceive and (2) to provide Korean coffee brands with strategic information about how to differentiate themselves from existing competitors in the Chinese market. A total of 268 samples were used for data analysis that comprised frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, ALSCAL, and regression analysis. The results showed that among 8 coffee brand selection attributes the most important was atmosphere, followed by cleanness and sanitary condition, and convenient location and transportation. Friendly service, taste of coffee, price and variety of menu were next and brand was the least important among 8 selection attributes. The results of positioning map showed that Maan Coffee was evaluated the highest iin atmosphere, cleanness and sanitary condition, and convenient location and transportation compared to other coffee brands. Marketing strategies for Korean coffee franchisers (Angel-in-us Coffee and Caffe Bene) were provided for successful repositioning in the Beijing coffee market.

본 연구의 목적은 첫째, 중국 소비자들이 커피전문점을 이용할 때 고려하는 중요 선택속성이 무엇인지 파악하고, 커피 브랜드의 유사성과 선호도 조사를 바탕으로 각 커피전문점의 상대적인 위치를 포지셔닝 맵을 통해 파악하고자 하였으며, 둘째, 우리나라 커피전문 브랜드들이 중국 커피시장을 공략하기 위해 타 브랜드들과 차별화되는 선택속성을 강조할 수 있는 전략 수립을 위한 정보를 제공하고자 하였다. 유효표본 268부를 수집하여 빈도분석, 기술통계, ALSCAL, 회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 연구결과, 커피전문점 선택속성 중 분위기가 가장 중요한 속성으로 나타났으며, 그 뒤로 청결 및 위생상태, 위치 및 교통의 편리성 순으로 나타났다. 다음으로 직원의 친절한 서비스, 커피의 맛, 가격과 메뉴의 다양성 순으로 나타났으며, 브랜드는 8개의 선택속성 중 가장 중요도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 포지셔닝 맵 분석결과, 만커피는 분위기, 청결 및 위생상태, 위치 및 교통의 편리성, 브랜드에서 가장 높은 경쟁우위를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 나아가 우리나라 커피전문점들이 중국 베이징 커피시장에서 경쟁력을 높일 수 있는 마케팅 전략을 제시하였다.
