Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between corporate reputation and the profitability. In this study, Big Data Analysis was conducted for Hyundai Motor, Shinsegae Department Store, SK Telecom, and Amorepacific to solve research problems. The results of this study show that the effect of each corporate reputation on the profitability is different according to the company. For products such as Hyundai Motor and Amorepacific that are used directly by consumers, the corporate reputation formed by the comments was more influential. In addition, distribution Service company such as Shinsegae Department Store showed more influence by online news. On the other hand, SK Telecom did not have a significant effect on profitability. Based on the results, this study emphasizes the importance of online news and comments on corporate reputation management, and aims to contribute to establishing an efficient reputation management strategy by examining the relationship between corporate reputation and profitability.

본 연구에서는 온라인 뉴스와 뉴스댓글로 부터 형성된 기업평판이 그 기업의 수익성과 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 연구문제를 해결하기 위해 현대자동차, 신세계백화점, SK텔레콤, 아모레퍼시픽 네 기업을 대상으로 빅데이터 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 기업에 따라 온라인 뉴스와 뉴스댓글로 형성된 각각의 기업평판이 수익성에 미치는 영향은 차이가 나타났다. 현대자동차와 아모레퍼시픽과 같이 소비자가 직접 사용하는 제품제조기업인 경우 뉴스댓글로 형성된 기업평판이 더 큰 영향력을 나타났다. 또한 신세계백화점은 온라인 뉴스로 형성된 기업 평판의 영향력이 더 크게 나타났다. 반면 SK텔레콤은 수익성에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 기업의 평판관리에 있어 온라인 뉴스와 뉴스댓글을 중심으로 기업평판과 수익성 간의 관계를 알아봄으로써 평판관리전략을 수립하는데 기여하고자 한다.
