오륜은 지난 1989년 설립 이래 지금까지 지속 성장을 거듭하고 있는 대표적인 강소(强小)기업이다. 이 전남 여수의 작은 기업이 어떻게 200여 명의 사원을 거느린 탄탄한 중견기업으로 성장할 수 있었을까. 이에 대한 해답은 '경영자의 높은 안전의식'에서 찾을 수 있다. 오륜의 창업자이자 현 경영자인 이기동 대표는 국내 주요 화학회사에서 근무를 하며 IFP공정 등 화학전문과정을 수료한 화학공정전문가로, 설립 초기부터 안전을 경영의 핵심가치로 내세웠다. 기업의 지속 성장을 위해서는 반드시 안전이 뒷받침 돼야한다는 것이 그의 철학이었다. 이런 이대표의 굳은 신념에 따라 오륜은 체계적인 안전관리시스템을 구축하고, 이를 바탕으로 기술력을 향상시켜나갔다. 그리고 그 결과 삼성SDI 등 국내 굴지기업들의 협력사이자 삼성전자의 주력 제품에 부품을 공급하는 핵심 기업으로 거듭났다. 또한 이 대표는 올해 대한산업안전협회로부터 감사패를 수여 받는 등 안전문화 확산에 대한 높은 공로를 대내외에서 인정받았다. 안전경영의 표본으로 올라선 이기동 대표를 찾아 그의 경영방침과 안전철학에 대해 들어봤다.

Franchising has long been an effective form of distribution that is used primarily by manufacturers whose product lines are especially suited exclusive or highly selective distribution. By IFA(International Franchise Association), franchising is defined as a continuing relationship in which the franchisor provides a licensed privilege to do business, plus assistance in organizing, training, merchandising, and management in return for a consideration from the franchisee. Thus franchising is a method for the owner(franchisor) of product, service, or method to obtain retail or wholesale distribution through licensed, affiliated dealers(franchisees). With rapid increase of franchising industry globally, franchising industry is very rapidly increasing especially in the sector of outdoor restaurant industry in Korea. But there are many problems to be settled for promoting this industry. For example, the industry is too much lean outdoor restaurant industry. With franchisors' short history and lack of management capacity, shortage of distribution infrastructure, smaller size of franchising system, and low trust between franchisor and franchisee, and so on, the industry has many barriers to overcome for promoting it. Here we are suggesting that taxation benefaction, monetary support for the starting franchisee, establishment of fair trade principle, promoting information system and professional human resource should be needed.

This study is to examine the importance of site selection and service quality in franchise business as food service franchise became one of the fastest-growing service industries today. The chief finding of this study is as follows: First, a survey in locational and service quality factors affecting food service franchise shows that responders are more concerned with hygiene and visibility of the store than proximity and transportation advantages which reflects low statistical significance, thus the distance did not seem to be a big problem for the responders in the context that they mostly visit nearby food franchise. Second, the examination of the influence by the service quality factors and customer satisfaction shows significant positive relation with customer response, speed and accuracy, and accuracy factors which reveals that the responders prefer prompt response and swift judgment toward the customer's needs and expectations, professional knowledge services to the credibility factors in which little correlation with the customer satisfaction were found. Third, the examination of the influence by the service quality factors, locational factors, and re-visit reveals that customer response and specialty showed statistically significant correlation with intention of WOM (Word of Mouth) and revisit, which suggests that swift judgment and response toward the customer's needs and expectations, professional knowledge services is of great importance to both customer satisfaction and revisit. The study on the aspects of locational and service quality factors affecting franchise industry's customer satisfaction was conducted as above, an investigation in both factors' influence on the customer satisfaction was made, and based on the results of the analysis, this research seeks an optimal operation strategy of a franchise business. Food service franchise are relatively very competent to business adminstration and reaction capability to consumption changes due to the already established market, and there are stores springing up everywhere inspired by the founders who are too confident of their success in the franchise business. However, it is necessary for the franchise beginners to figure out a zone oriented, regular customer oriented business strategy than just complying with the head office manual. Owing to an increasing trend of opening medium to large sized stores and investments in the wake of converting to multiple business type Korean food franchise, there is growing need to set up new concept of store development and operational management strategy in order to overcome the excessive competition and limited sales volume of the old-fashioned small sized, small capital franchise stores. Furthermore, as most business category of food service franchise serve very similar menus, from a product differentiation point of view, it is required to map out flexible sales concept including the adoption of competitive and low-price strategy. In conclusion, as is shown in the analytical research, the customers' optimal choice fluctuate over their preferences like customer convenience and circumstances rather than insisting on specific brand, thus it will be necessary for the franchise stores to draw up aggressive strategy and planning in running food service franchise to maximize their profits.

본 연구에서는 카페 비즈니스에서 중요한 서비스 품질의 여러 요인 중 카페의 사회문화성이 새로운 커피 비즈니스의 주요 특성으로 대두됨을 인식하여 이를 통해 카페의 이미지와 브랜드 충성도의 향상방안을 모색해보고자 함에 본 연구의 목적이다. 커피 전문점 중 전문브랜드와, 지역브랜드, 개인카페를 중심으로 설문을 통해 이를 분석한 결과, 카페 서비스품질 중 사회문화성은 전국 프랜차이즈는 브랜드 충성도를 도리어 낮추는 결과를 주지만 개인카페는 브랜드 충성도를 높이는 요인으로 작용하는 차별된 효과가 나타나 개인카페나 지역프랜차이즈의 카페 비즈니스에서는 전문성이 기반이 되어야만 브랜드 충성도를 향상시킬 수 있으며, 개인카페는 지역 프랜차이즈보다는 더욱 덜 복잡한 서비스 전략이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 개인카페의 특수한 사항들이 사회문화성을 통한 브랜드 이미지를 향상시키고 이를 통해 브랜드 충성도를 높이는 것을 알 수 있다. 결과적으로 전국 프랜차이즈는 서비스 품질 중 접근성과 확신성을 통해 브랜드 이미지와 브랜드 충성도가 높아지는 전략이 우선적으로 대두되며, 그 외의 서비스 품질들은 충분히 현재의 상태로도 매우 만족스러운 결과인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 지역 프랜차이즈의 경우는 서비스 품질 중 확신성이 강화되고, 서비스 전문성과 접근성을 통해서 더욱 브랜드 이미지와 브랜드 충성도를 향상시킬 수 있는 전략이 마련되어야 전국 프랜차이즈화 될 수 있는 고객의 인지력을 향상할 수 있는 전략이 모색된다. 반면, 지역기반의 개인카페들은 전국단위의 프랜차이즈보다 전국단위의 프랜차이즈로 나아가기 위해서는 지역기반의 지역프랜차이즈 카페들보다도 전문성 강화가 중요하며, 사회문화성을 강조하는 서비스 전략을 통해 고객들로 하여금 브랜드 충성도를 높이도록 전략화 방안이 필요하다.
