The present study extends Alden et al.'s (Alden, Steenkamp, and Batra 1999) study of cultural brand positioning through advertising, in which global cultural positioning is distinguished from foreign cultural positioning and local cultural positioning. The present study explores differences in the brand personality between global cultural positioning ads and local cultural positioning ads and investigates the effect of each type of cultural positioning strategy on the brand attitude. A content analysis was conducted for the Chinese print advertisements of Korean brands in order to examine the brand personalities developed by each type of cultural positioning strategy. Substantial differences in the brand personality were not found between the cultural positioning strategies. An experiment was conducted using Chinese consumers in order to test the effect of the cultural positioning strategy on the brand attitude. The global cultural positioning was found to be more effective than the local cultural positioning in general, and the Korean cultural positioning was found to be more effective than the local cultural positioning only for the younger consumers.

기본적으로 모든 소비자들은 조금씩 다르며, 제품은 그 차이를 극대화 시킴으로써 다양한 소비를 촉진하게 된다. 이와 같은 시장 세분화와 포지셔닝 전략은 디자인 경영에 있어 매우 중요한 전략적 단계라 할 수 있으며, 기업의 소비자 분석의 목적이기도 하다. 다차원 척도법은 군집 분석에서와 마찬가지로 자료에 내재된 구조를 찾아내어 자료를 함축적으로 표현하고자 하는 자료축약형 다변량 분석 기법이다. 패턴 분류의 수량화를 이용하는 POSA(Partial Order Scalogram Analysis)는 MSA(Multidimensional Scalogram Analysis)의 구조화된 방법으로 디자인 전략을 수립하는 단계에서 소비자의 성향을 보다 세분화할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 디자인 리서치 단계에 POSA 방법론을 적용하였을 때 소비자 유형 분류가 가능하다고 보고, 창의적 디자인 컨셉의 도출에 어느 정도 역할을 하는지 알아보고자 함을 목적으로 하였다. 본 연구에서는 부분적 계층 분석법인 POSA 분석방법을 통하여 사용자의 계층을 세분화하는 방법을 고안하고, 이를 분석함으로써 소비자의 유형을 분류하여 디자인 포지셔닝과 방향을 제시하는 방법론을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 설문조사를 통하여 POSA 기법을 이용한 소비자 유형 분류 방법이 고안되었고, 이를 기반으로 모바일 기기를 위한 프로젝트에 실제 디자인 사례로 적용되었으며, 이러한 소비자 유형 분석을 통하여 타겟 유저의 시나리오 작성 단계에서 창의적 발상을 지원한다는 점을 발견할 수 있었다.

The objective of this case study is to analyze how effectively KIA K5, which is a leading mid-size car brand, has positioned itself into the mid-size car market. Before KIA launched the K5, Sonata and SM5 were the leading brands in the mid-size car market. They had loyal customers who like their similar images. As many competitors keep launching new brands or new designs into the car industry, Sonata and SM5 were pressured to introduce new versions. But, the YF Sonata and the New SM5 failed to catch up with the new trends in the market. Whilst YF Sonata was perceived as too innovative, the New SM5 was treated as an old car by the target customers of the mid-size car. While the two leading brands struggled to attract customers, KIA K5 found a new market space by identifying and focusing on the lucrative replace and up-grade demand segment and filling the gap between the current product category values and the emerging mid-size car category values. The K5 found the right values that customers need and successfully articulated the values to the customers. This case study illustrates that a successful positioning strategy can be effectively employed to attract customers in the saturated car manufacturing industry. This case can be summarized as the successful positioning strategy of KIA K5 is comprised of four primary pillars: design innovation, market analysis, STP (segmentation, targeting, and positioning), and launch strategy. The KIA K5 case study provides valuable insights and implications for many other companies that are planning to find a proper positioning strategy for their own business.
