한국과학기술정보연구원(이하 KISTI)은 지난 6년 간 전사적으로 품질제고전략, 서비스만족전략, 이미지제고전략 등 3대 고객만족추진전략을 수립하여 체계적인 고객만족경영시스템을 구축하고 이를 강화하기 위한 노력을 기울여 왔다. KISTI는 고객을 대상으로 서비스하는 부분을 크게 5개 업무유형 11 세부 서비스로 구분하여 있다. 각 업무유형별로 산업계, 학계, 연구계, 관계 등 핵심 고객군을 세부적으로 설정하고, 각각의 업무 프로세스 및 서비스 청사진을 표준화하여 이행표준체계를 수립하였다. 국가 과학기술 연구망 업무를 수행하는 담당자별로 실명제를 통한 책임경영을 하고 핵심 고객의 니즈를 반영하기 위한 심층 FGI(Focus Group Interview) 및 DI(Depth Interview)를 진행하였다. 또한 정기적인 고객 Needs 및 VOC 문제점을 파악하기 위한 워크숍을 개최하여 활발한 개선활동을 진행하였다. 향후 연구로는 체계적인 정보서비스의 향상을 위해서는 일부 직원이 아닌 내부 직원 구성원이 모두 고객 지향적 마인드 형성을 해야 한다. 단순한 친절과 고객 편의 제공이 아닌, 전문성을 중심으로 서비스의 질적 수준을 향상 시켜야 한다는 "프로의식"이 내부 구성원들 사이에 확산되어야 진정한 고객중심의 경영이 이루어 질수 있다고 본다.

Objectives : This research aims to investigate the consumer's interest in the Korean Medicine (KM) industry by using Google-trends and Naver-Data lab. A quick and uncomplicated way for those who are already involved with KM industry but do not have expertise in utilizing Big-data searches, is introduced. Methods : 'Direct keyword' was set by FGI (Focus Group Interview) and 'Detailed keyword' was set by using relevant word search and autocomplete search functions in the search engine. By inquiring Naver-Data lab, keyword search volumes are compared by age and sex, date range, and originating region of the researcher. It is possible to determine whether the data is reliable or authentic through examining the associated query. Selected direct keywords used through FGI (Focus Group Interview) were 'Acupuncture', 'Herbal Medicine', 'Cupping', 'Musculoskeletal Disease', 'Diet', and 'Stemina'. Based on these keywords, the following results were derived from the keyword analysis. Results : From August 2016, there was a noticeable surge of interest in men's 'Cupping'. The search for 'Diet' increased in the second quarter of 2016 from all ages. The search volume of 'Stemna' for individuals in their 20s is higher than that of those in their 30s or 40s'. Researchers from the region of Chungcheongbuk-do had a higher level of interest in analgesics and less interest in Korean Medicine. There is a greater interest in the KM market from European countries and America, than from Korea, China, and other Asian countries. Discussion : Despite the limitations of the research, it is meaningful to introduce a quick and easy data search method to compare information by age, sex, and region. Conclusion : The future of research into Korea Medicine and this market is confirmed by our data results which indicate interest from Europe, the United States, and other western countries, but less interest from Korea, China and other Asian countries.
