Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the direction of overseas expansion strategy that should be established as a public broadcaster and a media company in order to overseas expand Korea EBS's. This study used a literature research method to analyze the related literature and data for analyzing strategies of major global media companies and overseas public service broadcasters (PSBs). As a result of the research, it suggests that the direction of EBS overseas expansion should approach both commercial business diversification and fulfillment of public responsibility. In particular, it suggests that transferring project of Korea's educational broadcasting system to developing country should be developed as a core business for spreading overseas expansion. In a follow-up study, it is necessary to carry out a research that suggests a comprehensive strategy of overseas expansion of EBS based on the result of this study.

이 연구는 미디어 산업의 변화가 가져온 글로벌 진출 확대의 필요성이 EBS(한국교육방송공사)에게도 똑같이 적용된다는 점을 인식하고, EBS가 공영방송인 동시에 미디어 기업으로서 정립해야 할 해외진출 전략의 방향성을 모색하는 데 목적을 두고 있다. 이 연구는 EBS의 해외진출 전략을 구체적으로 논의하기에 앞서 방향성과 접근방법을 탐색해보는 기초연구의 성격을 띠고 있으며, 이를 위해 글로벌 미디어 기업과 해외 주요 공공 서비스 방송사(PSBs)와 관련된 문헌과 자료들을 종합적으로 분석하는 문헌연구 방법을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 글로벌 미디어 기업들의 해외진출 전략 분석을 통해 도출된 시사점은 EBS 글로벌 전략의 재구조화가 필요하고, 경제적 활동 기회의 확대를 위해 글로벌화를 추진해야 하며, 해외 주요 PSB들은 공적 책무 이행을 위해 개발도상국 지원사업을 실시하고 있고, 글로벌 미디어 기업의 성장 배경에는 국가정책과 지원이 자리하고 있다는 점이었다. 결론적으로 이 연구는 EBS 해외진출의 방향성은 상업적 사업다각화와 공적 책무 이행 등 두 가지 측면 모두에서 접근해야 하며, 특히 한국 교육방송 시스템의 개발도상국 전수사업을 해외진출 확산의 핵심사업으로 발전시켜 나가야 한다는 정책 방향을 제시한다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다. 후속 연구에서는 이 연구에서 도출한 EBS 해외진출 확산 전략의 방향성과 접근방법을 토대로 종합적인 진출 전략을 제시하는 연구가 수행되어야 할 것이다.
