  • 본 논문의 목적은 롤랑 바르트의 신화론을 통해서 디자인 씽킹(design thinking)의 담론을 해석해 보는 데 있다. 이를 위해 기호가 생성하는 함축의미를 구조적으로 해석한 바르트의 방법론적 틀을 활용해 디자인 씽킹이 신화화 되는 과정을 탐색한다. 디자인 씽킹은 본래 전문적인 디자인 결과물 도출을 목적으로 디자인의 아이디어 기획 과정에서 활용되는 일종의 방법론을 말한다. 하지만 최근 디자인 씽킹은 사회문제, 경영, 마케팅 전략 등 디자인 영역 바깥에 존재하는 다양한 문제를 창의적으로 해결하기 위한 도구로 알려지면서 대중적인 관심이 높아지고 있다. 바르트는 신화가 이데올로기를 전달하는 도구라고 했다. 또한 밖으로 드러나 보이는 명시의미보다 내재한 함축의미를 해석하는 '구조적 사고'의 중요성을 강조한다. 오늘날 사회가 가지는 가장 큰 이데올로기 중 하나는 창의성이다. 디자인 씽킹은 이러한 창의성의 발현을 하나의 도식화된 프로세스를 통해 실현하려고 한다. 이는 디자인 씽킹이라는 도상이 구체적으로 형상화되어 물체성을 구현하고 그 안에서 문제 해결의 담론과 사회적 코드가 만나 신화성을 형성하는 것으로 설명된다. 바르트가 말하는 신화는 근 현대 인간이 생산해낸 문화적 코드에 의한 신화적 가치를 말한다. 디자인 씽킹은 그 자체가 가지는 기표보다 함축의미인 상징적 가치가 커지게 되었다. 이는 신화적 속성을 가진 하나의 기호가 되었음을 의미한다. 다시 말해 디자인 씽킹을 통해 발현된 창의성이라는 이데올로기가 혁신이라는 문화적 코드를 생산해 내면서 신화적 지위를 얻게 된 것이다. 현상을 기호학적 관점으로 해석하는 과정은 대상에 대한 개념과 그것을 둘러싼 주변부의 모습을 보다 면밀히 관찰할 수 있는 중요한 도구다. 본 논문은 디자인 씽킹의 대중적 유행과 같이 일상의 이데올로기 안에서 지속적으로 드러나고 있는 기호를 활용해 사회현상에 대한 비평적 분석의 외연 확장을 시도해 보고자 했다.

  • <양죽서소상>은 1363년이라는 분명한 연대를 지닌 원대의 희소한 초상화라는 점에서 유의미하다. 또 최초의 초상화 이론인 "사상비결(寫像秘訣)"의 저자이자 중요한 초상화가인 왕역(王繹)의 유일한 현존 작이라는 점, 대표적 산수화가인 예찬(倪瓚)과의 합작이라는 점, 그리고 산수인물화 형식 초상화의 이른 사례라는 점에서도 주목된다. 그림의 주인공은 본래 원대의 고관대작 양우로 알려져 있었으나, 이는 명대 이일화(李日華)의 오인에서 비롯된 것이다. 실제 피사인물은 송강지역의 은거 문인으로 강남의 문인 사회에서 명망이 높았던 양겸이다. <양죽서소상>은 소식(蘇軾)과 같은 은자의 도상으로 묘사되었는데, 이는 은거 문인 양겸을 표현하는데 있어 적절한 선택이었다. 또 예찬이 그린 바위와 소나무는 군자, 문인이라는 전통적 상징성과 맞물려 작품의 의미를 강화시켜 주었다. 양식적으로는 백묘법을 사용하였다는 점에서 동시기의 여타 초상화들과 차별화된다. 그러나 안면 표현의 경우 채색이 배제되었음에도 오히려 뛰어난 사실성을 보여준다. 반면 신체의 표현에 있어서는 단아하고 절제된 서예적인 선묘를 구사함으로써 작품의 격조를 높이고자 하였다. <양죽서소상>은 기능이라는 측면에서 보았을 때, 제의적 성격이 강한 여타 초상화들과 달리 감상적 성격이 강하다. 피사인물 자신과 친구들의 열람, 감상 목적으로 제작된 것으로 서로간의 교유적인 측면에서도 의미가 컸다. 그러나 여기에는 단순한 감상의 차원을 넘어서서 피사인물 자신과 친구들의 심회를 담고자 하는 의도가 컸다.

  • Digital Convergence means integration between industry, technology, and contents, and in marketing, it usually comes with creation of new types of product and service under the base of digital technology as digitalization progress in electro-communication industries including telecommunication, home appliance, and computer industries. One can see digital convergence not only in instruments such as PC, AV appliances, cellular phone, but also in contents, network, service that are required in production, modification, distribution, re-production of information. Convergence in contents started around 1990. Convergence in network and service begins as broadcasting and telecommunication integrates and DMB(digital multimedia broadcasting), born in May, 2005 is the symbolic icon in this trend. There are some positive and negative expectations about DMB. The reason why two opposite expectations exist is that DMB does not come out from customer's need but from technology development. Therefore, customers might have hard time to interpret the real meaning of DMB. Time is quite critical to a high tech product, like DMB because another product with same function from different technology can replace the existing product within short period of time. If DMB does not positioning well to customer's mind quickly, another products like Wibro, IPTV, or HSPDA could replace it before it even spreads out. Therefore, positioning strategy is critical for success of DMB product. To make correct positioning strategy, one needs to understand how consumer interprets DMB and how consumer's interpretation can be changed via communication strategy. In this study, we try to investigate how consumer perceives a new product, like DMB and how AD strategy change consumer's perception. More specifically, the paper segment consumers into sub-groups based on their DMB perceptions and compare their characteristics in order to understand how they perceive DMB. And, expose them different printed ADs that have messages guiding consumer think DMB in specific ways, either cellular phone or personal TV. Research Question 1: Segment consumers according to perceptions about DMB and compare characteristics of segmentations. Research Question 2: Compare perceptions about DMB after AD that induces categorization of DMB in direction for each segment. If one understand and predict a direction in which consumer perceive a new product, firm can select target customers easily. We segment consumers according to their perception and analyze characteristics in order to find some variables that can influence perceptions, like prior experience, usage, or habit. And then, marketing people can use this variables to identify target customers and predict their perceptions. If one knows how customer's perception is changed via AD message, communication strategy could be constructed properly. Specially, information from segmented customers helps to develop efficient AD strategy for segment who has prior perception. Research framework consists of two measurements and one treatment, O1 X O2. First observation is for collecting information about consumer's perception and their characteristics. Based on first observation, the paper segment consumers into two groups, one group perceives DMB similar to Cellular phone and the other group perceives DMB similar to TV. And compare characteristics of two segments in order to find reason why they perceive DMB differently. Next, we expose two kinds of AD to subjects. One AD describes DMB as Cellular phone and the other Ad describes DMB as personal TV. When two ADs are exposed to subjects, consumers don't know their prior perception of DMB, in other words, which subject belongs 'similar-to-Cellular phone' segment or 'similar-to-TV' segment? However, we analyze the AD's effect differently for each segment. In research design, final observation is for investigating AD effect. Perception before AD is compared with perception after AD. Comparisons are made for each segment and for each AD. For the segment who perceives DMB similar to TV, AD that describes DMB as cellular phone could change the prior perception. And AD that describes DMB as personal TV, could enforce the prior perception. For data collection, subjects are selected from undergraduate students because they have basic knowledge about most digital equipments and have open attitude about a new product and media. Total number of subjects is 240. In order to measure perception about DMB, we use indirect measurement, comparison with other similar digital products. To select similar digital products, we pre-survey students and then finally select PDA, Car-TV, Cellular Phone, MP3 player, TV, and PSP. Quasi experiment is done at several classes under instructor's allowance. After brief introduction, prior knowledge, awareness, and usage about DMB as well as other digital instruments is asked and their similarities and perceived characteristics are measured. And then, two kinds of manipulated color-printed AD are distributed and similarities and perceived characteristics for DMB are re-measured. Finally purchase intension, AD attitude, manipulation check, and demographic variables are asked. Subjects are given small gift for participation. Stimuli are color-printed advertising. Their actual size is A4 and made after several pre-test from AD professionals and students. As results, consumers are segmented into two subgroups based on their perceptions of DMB. Similarity measure between DMB and cellular phone and similarity measure between DMB and TV are used to classify consumers. If subject whose first measure is less than the second measure, she is classified into segment A and segment A is characterized as they perceive DMB like TV. Otherwise, they are classified as segment B, who perceives DMB like cellular phone. Discriminant analysis on these groups with their characteristics of usage and attitude shows that Segment A knows much about DMB and uses a lot of digital instrument. Segment B, who thinks DMB as cellular phone doesn't know well about DMB and not familiar with other digital instruments. So, consumers with higher knowledge perceive DMB similar to TV because launching DMB advertising lead consumer think DMB as TV. Consumers with less interest on digital products don't know well about DMB AD and then think DMB as cellular phone. In order to investigate perceptions of DMB as well as other digital instruments, we apply Proxscal analysis, Multidimensional Scaling technique at SPSS statistical package. At first step, subjects are presented 21 pairs of 7 digital instruments and evaluate similarity judgments on 7 point scale. And for each segment, their similarity judgments are averaged and similarity matrix is made. Secondly, Proxscal analysis of segment A and B are done. At third stage, get similarity judgment between DMB and other digital instruments after AD exposure. Lastly, similarity judgments of group A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2 are named as 'after DMB' and put them into matrix made at the first stage. Then apply Proxscal analysis on these matrixes and check the positional difference of DMB and after DMB. The results show that map of segment A, who perceives DMB similar as TV, shows that DMB position closer to TV than to Cellular phone as expected. Map of segment B, who perceive DMB similar as cellular phone shows that DMB position closer to Cellular phone than to TV as expected. Stress value and R-square is acceptable. And, change results after stimuli, manipulated Advertising show that AD makes DMB perception bent toward Cellular phone when Cellular phone-like AD is exposed, and that DMB positioning move towards Car-TV which is more personalized one when TV-like AD is exposed. It is true for both segment, A and B, consistently. Furthermore, the paper apply correspondence analysis to the same data and find almost the same results. The paper answers two main research questions. The first one is that perception about a new product is made mainly from prior experience. And the second one is that AD is effective in changing and enforcing perception. In addition to above, we extend perception change to purchase intention. Purchase intention is high when AD enforces original perception. AD that shows DMB like TV makes worst intention. This paper has limitations and issues to be pursed in near future. Methodologically, current methodology can't provide statistical test on the perceptual change, since classical MDS models, like Proxscal and correspondence analysis are not probability models. So, a new probability MDS model for testing hypothesis about configuration needs to be developed. Next, advertising message needs to be developed more rigorously from theoretical and managerial perspective. Also experimental procedure could be improved for more realistic data collection. For example, web-based experiment and real product stimuli and multimedia presentation could be employed. Or, one can display products together in simulated shop. In addition, demand and social desirability threats of internal validity could influence on the results. In order to handle the threats, results of the model-intended advertising and other "pseudo" advertising could be compared. Furthermore, one can try various level of innovativeness in order to check whether it make any different results (cf. Moon 2006). In addition, if one can create hypothetical product that is really innovative and new for research, it helps to make a vacant impression status and then to study how to form impression in more rigorous way.
