Abstract

Recently, ICT Retail Convergence(IRC) has been rapidly increasing to improve consumer satisfaction and consumer experience. In this paper, we aim to diagnose IRC from consumers' point of view by reviewing the present status and value of IRC according to consumer purchase decision making process. Based on the previous studies in retail industry, we classified IRC into 4 types: Experience-specific tech(Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality); Information-specific tech(Artificial Intelligence and Big Data); Location-based tech(Radio Frequency Identification and Beacon); Payment-related tech(Fin-tech and Biometrics). Next, we found that there is a difference in value provided to consumers according to the type of technology, analysing the value by consumer purchase decision making process. This study can be useful to introduce IRC for improving consumer satisfaction as well as ICT and Retail. Also, it can be basic data for future technology studies with a consumer perspective.

소비자만족과 소비자경험을 향상시키기 위해 기술-유통 통합(ICT Retail Convergence; IRC)이 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 소비자에게 상용화된 IRC의 현황과 가치를 소비자의 구매의사결정 단계별로 고찰함으로써 소비자 관점에서 IRC를 진단하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 먼저 국내 외 유통관련 문헌 고찰을 통해 IRC 종류를 살펴본 결과, IRC는 체험특화기술인 가상현실(VR)와 증강현실(AR), 정보관련기술인 인공지능(AI)과 빅데이터, 위치기반기술인 비콘과 RFID, 결제관련기술인 핀테크와 생체인식기술로 구분되었다. 다음으로 각 기술별 대표사례를 수집하고 소비자에게 제공하는 가치를 분석한 결과, 기술 유형에 따라 구매단계별 소비자에게 제공하는 가치에 차이가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 소비자의 만족향상과 유통산업, 기술의 발전이 함께 이루어질 수 있는 IRC 도입 방향을 제시하였다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 향후 다양한 산업과 후속연구에서 소비자 지향적으로 기술을 분석하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.
