Since the beginning of pork brand business, many producers' groups or companies have performed the brand business. In case of pork as of December 2009, there are 278 companies.
In the meantime, the pork companies have made diverse efforts for the balanced sale in the whole parts, but are failing to accomplish effect.
The future livestock brand business needs to enhance awareness of brand, to proceed with expanding dependence upon the production company of the secondarily-processed meat products in non-preferred parts, and also to escape from the distribution form with the center on the quantity supply and the operation ratio for a large distributor.
In order to be continued the livestock brand business, there is necessity for proceeding with stably maintaining the foundation of production in farms by arranging a plan for the consumer satisfaction. That is because the appearance of success in business relies on how consumers recognize pork brand.
Also, the production company can continue to develop stable brand business only when escaping from a request for PB and for quantity aggression of large distribution company, which threatens smooth sale and brand business in the non-preferred parts.
Accordingly, to continuously develop the livestock brand business, there is necessity for considering expansion in brand from livestock brand even to the processed meat product and a selling store.
The purpose of this study is to suggest the possibility of expansion into the secondary-processed meat product brand and the selling-store brand, and a plan for activating a sale of the pork brand and the secondary-processed meat product, by surveying the consumer consciousness on pork brand.
This study carried out the statistical analysis side by side based on the collection of relevant materials and on the questionnaire survey.
First of all, the collection of relevant materials was carried out literature survey, internet search, a visit survey, and expert-interview survey. The survey scope was limited to statistical materials such as the research documents and theses, Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and Korea Meat Industries Association relevant to expansion in brand.
The questionnaire survey was inquired into the awareness level on brand pork and the processes meat product targeting consumers who dwell in Seoul and Metropolitan Area.
The surveyed questionnaire was carried out factor analysis, correlation analysis, ANOVA, and frequency analysis by using SPSS WIN 12.
The composition of this study is as follows. Chapter 2 surveyed the present status of the processed pork business and the pork brand business, and the present condition of development in brand business by main company. Chapter 3 examined significance that expansion has, by inspecting theoretical background on significance and expansion in brand.
The core of this study is Chapter 4. Chapter 4 selected 10 leading companies of brand management, and then hypothetically verified the properties in each of brands, the purchasing intention on the same processed meat product of using its brand livestock, and the consumer recognition on the same brand company, which specializes in selling the secondarily-processed meat product in livestock.
As a result of analyzing brand properties, the consumers' awareness on pork brand was indicated to be high. However, the consumers, who aim to actually consume, were indicated to be small. Thus, the brand identity failed to be systematically implemented. Even after introduction, the brand image was indicated to fail to be recognized powerfully.
It carried out factor analysis, sociality analysis among factors, and correlation analysis with having 3 hypotheses as saying that the higher in the brand image, the awareness, and the perceived quality will lead to the higher purchasing intention in consumers. To additionally grasp properties, the brand-based image was analyzed by using Semantic Differential Scale.
As a result of analysis, all of 3 factors, which were extracted in all of 10 brands, were larger than 1 in eisen value and were exceeding 0.3, which is the standard for regression weight, thereby having been able to recognize it as single factor. As a result of verifying hypotheses, the correlation analysis between the brand image and the purchasing intention was shown the positive(+) correlation in the significant level of 0. Thus, Hypothesis 1 as saying that the higher image leads to the higher purchasing intention was adopted.
As a result of analyzing the recognition of expanding pork brand, Hypothesis 2 as saying that the higher awareness will lead to the higher purchasing intention was adopted. Thus, the conclusion was obtained as saying that the awareness has high influence given purchasing.
Even Hypothesis 3 as saying that whether the perceived quality will have influence upon purchasing was adopted. This shows that the brand-based image functions as decisive influence upon forming consumers' attitude toward specific brand.
As a result of analyzing reliability in measurement items on brand asset, the reliability coefficient on the whole items was indicated to be 0.755, thereby having been able to be known to have reliability.
Hypothesis 4 as saying that the higher knowledge of product leads to being more positive in expansion was adopted. However, Hypothesis 5 as saying that there will be no difference in recognizing expansion in the secondary-processed meat brand by job, academic background, and income level was dismissed. Thus, it was indicated to be likely difference in recognizing expansion in brand by job, by academic background, and by income.
Both Hypothesis 6 as saying that the larger brand asset will lead to being more positive in expansion and Hypothesis 7 as saying that the larger attitude toward expansion will lead to being more positive in expansion were adopted.
There was a little difference in general parts of all in 10 representative pork brands. However, it was indicated to have no mutually characteristically differentiated positioning or individuality. Accordingly, the characteristic of brand is considered to be likely to be necessarily made clearer in the future.
As a result of surveying consumers' awareness, what the recognition on expansion in brand was shown to be positive indicates that the expansion in brand is necessary at the present point of time, thereby giving great suggestion to pork industry.
To increase performance of expansion in brand, the positive publicity was indicated to be necessary for the properties in brand and for the features and strengths in product. There is necessity for striving even to broaden positive atmosphere by developing product available for making inroads into consumers who have negative recognition.
What the expansion in brand is a positive fact reduces a burden for management in the processing/distribution section of being in charge of one role in the livestock brand business as well as promoting consumption of non-preferred parts in pork, and simultaneously can pave the way for developing overseas market due to livestock disease. In this sense, it is considered to have great significance.
In this way, an effort of the brand management body for expansion in brand arranges an opportunity of consumers' change in awareness of pork industry as well as bringing about positive result called development in pork industry, and further lets pig farms to know that implementation of stable management foundation is important. In this sense, it can be said to be significant.
