공정무역(fair trade)은 국제무역거래에 있어 불평등을 해소하고 생산과정에 있어 환경을 파괴하지 않는 새로운 형태의 대안무역으로서 평가받으며 전 세계적으로 확산되고 있다. 한국에서도 윤리적 소비를 지향하는 소비자들의 공정무역에 대한 관심이 커져가고 있고 최근 그 거래규모가 급증하여 공정무역제품 시장이 성장하고 있다. 본 연구는 윤리적 제품에 대한 소비자의 구매의사결정 모델을 제시한 Shaw와 Shiu(2003)의 '수정된 계획행동이론'에 기초하여 대학생소비자들이 공정무역제품에 대한 인식과 구매의도와의 관계를 분석함으로써 윤리적 제품의 소비자행동에 관한 요인을 탐색하고자 한다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 소비자 구매태도, 규범적 신념, 공정회복기대, 윤리적 책임의식 등과 공정무역제품 구매의도와의 관계, 그리고 인구통계적 요인, 공정무역인지, 구매경험이 구매의도에 차이가 있는지 등의 가설을 설정하고 설문지조사를 통해 분석하였다. 검증결과, 공정무역제품 구매의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 요인은 윤리적 책임의식과 소비자의 구매태도였다. 윤리적 책임의식이 구매의도에 영향력이 더 큰 요인이었다. 소비자들은 공정무역제품 구매를 통해 윤리적 의무를 한다는 인식을 하고 있다고 판단되므로 공정무역제품 구매촉진을 위해서 구매의 필요성과 소비자 개인으로서의 윤리적 책임을 연계하고 소비자태도가 우호적이고 긍정적으로 형성될 수 있도록 적극적인 커뮤니케이션전략이 강조되어야 할 것이다.

남북간의 불균형 무역을 시정하려는 의도에서 발생한 공정무역 움직임은 보다 상업활동 및 판매망에 구체적으로 참여하면서 사회적 성격의 마케팅을 탄생시키게 된다. 윤리적 목표와 상업적 목표를 가지고 있는 공정무역기관이 행하고 있는 사회적 마케팅은 세 가지 소비자유형을 제시하고 있으며 그 접근 방법으로는 제휴를 제안하고 있다.

The purpose of this research was to develop a typology of fair-trade apparel consumers and present a clear overview of the influence of product knowledge on consumer behaviors. A two-step cluster analysis was used to classify respondents into sub-groups based on their level of self-perceived knowledge and purchase experience. In addition, ANOVA was used to test the predictive validity of the cluster solution. Income was the only demographic variable that significantly differed across groups. The more familiar and more experienced group had higher income than the other groups. Psychographic data showed that attitudes and moral norms varied across groups. The more familiar and more experienced group had more positive attitudes and higher level of moral norms than the less familiar and less experienced group. In terms of behavioristic data, groups differed significantly in purchase intentions and willingness to pay more for fair-trade apparel. That is, the more familiar and more experienced group was willing to pay more and had higher purchase intentions than the less familiar and less experienced group. Overall, the level of product knowledge and purchase experience were considerably low. This study thus confirmed the need to increase consumers' familiarity related to fair-trade apparel products.

The coffee industry has grown very fast ever since international coffee brands were launched in the 1990's. Recently, consumers have begun to focus on coffee produced ethically. This phenomenon is due to ethical-consumption consciousness, which consists of three factors, emotional value, social value and function value. Most studies on this topic have focused on consumers who purchase fair-trade coffee. Thus, this study is novel in its focus on baristas who sell fairtrade coffee in their shops as well as differences from former studies. The three factors of ethical-consumption consciousness of baristas affected the sale of fair-trade coffee, except for the function value. Therefore, the sale of fair-trade coffee could be influenced by ethical-consumption consciousness of baristas. This study shows that education of baristas can promote the sale of fair-trade coffee. However, there are limitations as it only researched coffee brands ranked in the top 5, so further studies will be required in the future.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to analyze the reformed duty of fair presentation provisions and related caselaw of the Insurance Act 2015 to gain a clearer understanding of the differences between the Act and the preceding legislation. Design/methodology - The authors analyzed caselaw from South Korea and China that involved breaches of the duty of disclosure. Cases highlighting differences between the duties of disclosure and fair presentation were selected. Findings - Changes in the practice of marine insurance laws are expected from the application of the reformed duty of presentation provisions. In particular, the rights of the insured are expected to increase, resulting in the fairer conduct of insurance contracts. Due to the fact that the Insurance Act 2015 has only recently taken effect, the provisions of existing caselaw have not yet been applied. This has limited the authors' scope of analysis. Originality/value - This paper describes the implications of the duty of fair presentation by analyzing caselaw from South Korea and China that involves the duty of disclosure. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first paper that investigates the reformed duty of fair presentation provisions of the Insurance Act 2015 in the context of the legislation's implications for trade practices.

본 연구는 공정무역과 관련된 소비자의 자기결정성 심리욕구(자율성, 유능성, 관련성)와 공정무역제품과 관련된 브랜드 자산 간의 관계를 실증분석을 통하여 검증하고자 하였다. 기존 공정무역과 관련된 소비자 반응의 선행연구들과 차별적으로 보다 더 소비자의 내적 욕구 충족성에 기반 한 전략적 브랜드 관리로 연결시키고 있다는 점에서 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다. 구체적으로 본 연구의 실증분석의 결과, 자기결정성 심리욕구와 브랜드 자산 간 관계는 소비자의 공정무역에 대한 태도를 중심으로 브랜드 자산이 과정적으로 인식되고 있음이 밝혀졌으며, 특히 유능성과 관련된 소비자의 욕구충족성은 전략적으로 중요한 구성개념임이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구의 연구결과를 토대로 향후 공정무역제품과 관련된 브랜드 자산의 전략적 관리에 중요한 시사점을 제공해 줄 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to discuss success factors behind ATO distribution channels by examining successful partnerships between producers and alternative trading organizations (ATOs). Research design, data, and methodology - This is a case study, an analytical approach, which illustrates how the partnership between producers and ATOs has strengthened the fair trade and the performance of participants in the trade based on the example of the trading relationship between Beautiful Coffee, an alternative trading organization dealing coffee related products, and the coffee cooperative union (CCU), a coffee producing cooperative in Gulmi, Nepal. Results - Beautiful Coffee in the partnership with HELVETAS empowered small coffee farmers by a successful institutionalization of CCU that consolidated the distribution channel to be more efficient. Also, Beautiful Coffee and its partnership with KOICA have tried to increase productivity and quality of coffee beans. Conclusions - The case of Beautiful Coffee demonstrates that the partnership between producers and alternative trading organizations (ATOs) has benefited the fair trade partners. In other words, Beautiful Coffee's partnerships with a NGO working in the local producing area, HELVETAS, and a government aid agency, KOICA could strengthen the relationship between the producers and the ATO, and thus contributes to the whole distribution channel.

The franchise business in Korea, having a relatively short history compared to those of the advanced countries, disclosed many problems between franchisors and franchisees due to a rapid growth in number for the short period of time. Having recognized these problems, the Korean government, responding to social demands, established "The Fair Trade Practices Law for Franchise Business" to restrict unfair trade practices and to develop a healthier franchise business practice in general. In this study, we closely examined how the franchisees' understanding of the related laws would influence the franchisees' countermoves and satisfaction and the franchisor's reactions from the franchisees' standpoints. In conclusion, the franchisees show higher satisfaction in heteronomous changes achieved by the mutual agreement with the franchisors rather than in autonomous changes achieved by their active pursuits, as seen from the interrelation of the franchisors' reactions and the appropriateness of franchise agreements.
