Abstract

There must be a balanced development of both conglomerates and small and mid-sized companies in order to secure constant economic growth and competitive edge of South Korea. Accordingly, high expectations are being placed on win-win growth and joint overseas expansion of conglomerates and small and mid-sized companies. This study seeks efficient ways to promote joint overseas expansion of major retailers and small and mid-sized companies considering the distinctiveness of home shopping by conducting interviews about joint overseas expansion of home shopping companies and small and mid-sized consumer goods companies in South Korea. To do this, interviews were conducted with three home shopping companies and three consumer goods SMEs operating in overseas markets. The results are as follows. Home shopping companies contribute to opening up overseas markets for small and mid-sized consumer goods companies, and allows them to make use of business and marketing competencies that they lack. Home shopping companies also produce visual materials or provide language translations, and help draw up documents for customs clearance in trading. They also form market development teams and provide information about the overseas markets. However, since the actual benefits from joint overseas expansion are minor for home shopping companies, there is a need for a strategy for win-win growth of both parties in the long run. To this end, it is necessary to provide substantial benefits to encourage joint overseas expansion. Ultimately, balanced development between home shopping companies and small- and medium-sized consumer goods companies should be promoted.

우리나라의 지속적인 경제발전과 경쟁력을 확보하기 위해서는 대기업과 중소기업의 간의 균형 잡힌 발전이 필요하다. 이에 대 중소기업간 상생 및 해외 동반진출에 대한 관심이 높으며, 정부에서도 여러 가지 지원정책을 늘리고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 네트워크 이론의 관점에서 홈쇼핑 기업과 소비재 중소기업의 협력관계를 바탕으로 한 해외 동반진출 사례를 고찰하고, 유통대기업-소비재 중소기업의 동반진출을 설명하는 모델을 구축하고자 한다. 이를 위해 홈쇼핑 기업과 소비재 중소기업의 해외 동반진출과 관련한 인터뷰를 통해, 유통구조의 특수성을 고려한 홈쇼핑 기업과 소비재 중소기업의 효율적인 해외 동반진출 확대 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이에 해외 동반진출을 하고 있는 3개의 홈쇼핑 기업과 3개의 소비재 중소기업을 대상으로 인터뷰를 실시하였으며, 결과는 다음과 같다. 홈쇼핑 기업은 소비재 중소기업의 해외 판로 개척에 도움이 되며, 자원과 역량이 부족한 중소기업에게 경영 및 마케팅 역량을 활용할 수 있는 기회를 제공한다. 홈쇼핑 기업이 소비재 중소기업을 지원하기 위해 인서트 영상을 제작하거나 관련 언어를 번역해주기도 하며, 무역통관과 관련된 서류 작성을 도와주기도 한다. 또한 해외 시장개척단을 구성하여 해외시장 정보 제공 등의 지원을 한다. 이러한 홈쇼핑 기업의 지원을 이용하여 소비재 중소기업은 해외 시장을 개척하고 있다. 그렇지만 아직까지는 홈쇼핑 기업에게 해외 동반진출이 주는 실질적인 혜택이 미미하기 때문에 장기적으로 서로 win-win할 수 있는 전략이 필요하다. 이를 위해 해외 동반진출을 독려할 수 있도록 실질적인 혜택을 제공해야 하며, 궁극적으로 홈쇼핑 기업과 소비재 중소기업 간의 균형적 발전을 도모해야 한다.
