비유사 확장 시 브랜드확장 유형이 목표확장제품의 평가에 미치는 효과: 브랜드 컨셉과 목표확장제품 가격의 조절적 역할을 중심으로 = The Effects of the Type of Brand Extensions on Evaluations of Target Extension Product in Dissimilar Extensions

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

In this study, we investigate the relative effectiveness of the two types of brand extensions (sequential extensions vs. direct extensions) in dissimilar extensions and examine the moderating role of two key variables - brand concept(functional brand vs. symbolic brand) and price of target extension product(low vs. high).The results from two experiments show that consumers evaluate the target extension product more favorably when brand is extended sequentially to dissimilar categories than when it is extended directly. However, the difference of target extension product evaluation between sequential extensions and direct extensions decrease when brand is symbolic and price of target extension product is high. Theoretical and managerial implications of the finding are discussed and inplications for future research are suggested.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 비유사 확장 시 확장제품에 대한 평가는 목표확장제품으로 직접확장하였을 경우보다는 순차적 확장을 하였을 경우 더욱 호의적이라는 선행연구에 근거하여, 이러한 브랜드확장 유형(순차적 확장 vs. 직접확장)에 따른 확장제품평가의 차이가 브랜드 컨셉(기능적 브랜드 vs. 상징적 브랜드)과 목표확장제품의 가격(저가 vs. 고가)에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지 두 차례의 실험을 통해 그 조절적 역할을 검증하였다.
실증분석결과, 선행연구에서와 마찬가지로 비유사 확장 시 목표확장제품에 대한 평가는 직접확장보다 순차적 확장 시 더욱 호의적이었다. 하지만 브랜드확장 유형에 따른 목표확장제품의 평가차이는 기능적 브랜드보다 상징적 브랜드일 경우 현격히 줄어들었으며, 목표확장제품의 가격이 저가일 경우에 비해 고가일 경우 크게 줄어들었다. 즉, 브랜드 컨셉과 목표확장제품의 가격이 브랜드확장 유형의 주효과를 조절하는 변수로서의 역할을 하고 있음이 확인되었다.
