전통적 상품분류방식의 문제점과 대안 모색 = 상품의 사회적 특성화를 중심으로

국문 초록 (Abstract)

마케팅 사상사에서 지금까지 지속되고 있는 중요한 개념 중의 하나는 소비재의 분류에 관한 것이다. Copeland(1923)가 최초로 제안한 상품분류방식과 이론은 지금까지 거의 수정되지 않은 채 학계와 실무자들이 원용하고 있고 미국 마케팅 협회를 비롯한 유관기관들도 이를 공식적으로 인정하고 있다.
그러나 그의 분류방식은 오늘날에는 시대에 뒤떨어진 낡은 것이 되어 현대의 상품광고, 소매업 및 소비에 적절하지 않은 것으로 점차 알려지고 있다. 그러한 방식은 특히 현대사회에서 소비자들이 스타일, 개인적 정체성 및 사회적 지위나 신분에 집착하고 있음으로 인하여 소비자 시장을 잘 이해하고 있는 브랜드 관리자들이 중점적으로 촉진하고 있는 상품의 사회적 특성이 소비자의 선택과 구매자 행동의 핵심적 결정요인이라는 사실을 수용하지 못하고 있다.
이에 따라 본 연구자는 기존의 상품분류방식이 다년간 시장조건의 변화에 대응하지 못하고 있는 이유를 탐구하고 그것이 소비와 소비자행동에 영향을 미치는 다수의 요인들을 반영하지 못하고 있다는 것이 가장 중대한 약점임을 주장하였다. 한걸음 더 나아가 기존의 연구문헌을 토대로 그러한 약점을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 상품분류방식을 제안하였다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

One of the most enduring concepts in the history of marketing thought relates to the classification of consumer goods. The product classification theory first proposed by Copeland(1923) has, with little modification, survived to the present day, and continues to be endorsed by the American Marketing Association and other related institutions some 80 years after it was first published.
In truth, Copeland's classification is now outdated and bears little, if any, relevance to modern product advertising, retailing and consumption. In particular, it can not accommodate the fact that, in modern societies, consumer preoccupations with style, personal identity and status have meant that the social characteristics of goods, heavily promoted by brand managers who understand their markets, are key determinants of consumer choice and buyer behavior.
In this respect, the author attempted to explore the reasons why product classification theory has been unresponsive to changes in market conditions over so many years and argue that its failure to embrace the many social influences on consumption and on consumer behavior is now its most serious weakness. And also, the author proposed the new categorization system of goods, based on the several existing literatures.
