Abstract

This study examined the effect of ingredient branding strategies for late entrants as one of the strategic tools to overcome first-mover advantages. Specifically, this study investigated whether brand origin information of the ingredients and price information of the ingredient branding product affect consumer evaluation. A sample of 400 university students were randomly assigned to 2 experimental studies. Results from study 1 showed that the market position of ingredient brand and brand origin information significantly influenced consumers' evaluation on the ingredient branding product. In addition, from the study 2, this study found that price information significantly moderated the effects of the order of market entry and brand origin information of the ingredients on the consumers' evaluation on the ingredient branding product. Implications for brand strategies to overcome the late-entrant disadvantages are discussed.

본 연구는 시장의 후발주자가 선발우위를 극복하기 위한 전략적 수단으로 사용할 수 있는 요소브랜딩전략의 효과를 살펴보고자 한다. 구체적으로 브랜드성분의 원산지정보와 요소브랜딩제품의 제시된 가격수준이 소비자 평가에 미치는 영향에 관해서 연구하고자 한다. 본 연구는 실험연구로 진행되었으며, 총 400명의 피험자를 대상으로 2개의 실험을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 연구1에서는 요소브랜드의 시장지위 및 원산지정보는 소비자의 요소브랜딩 제품 평가에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구2에서는 시장진입순서와 요소브랜드의 원산지정보가 소비자의 요소브랜딩 제품에 대한 평가에 미치는 영향은 제시되는 제품의 가격수준에 의해 조절되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 내용은 후발브랜드의 선발우위 극복을 위한 전략적 방안을 제안하고, 후발기업의 브랜드 운용전략에 대한 시사점도 제시하고 있다.
