본 논문은 패션의류기업의 해외시장 진출 프로세스를 실질적인 기업 사례를 통해 분석하였다. 글로벌 기업인 자라와 유니클로를 대상으로 두 기업의 해외시장 진출을 Malnight(1995)가 제시한 부속(appendage), 참여(participation), 기여(contribution), 통합(integration) 4단계 모델로 분석하였다. 자라와 유니클로 모두 전세계를 대상으로 글로벌화가 이루어졌고 범세계적인 가치사슬을 운영하나, 자라는 철저하게 본국에 중점을 둔 가치사슬을 유지하는 반면, 유니클로는 특정 가치사슬에서는 자회사가 주도적인 역할을 하는 Malnight(1995)의 통합 단계로 운영하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 글로벌 패션기업의 해외시장 진출에 대한 본 연구는 해외시장 진출 어려움을 겪고 있는 한국패션기업들에게 시사점을 제공할 수 있다. 한국기업들이 해외시장 진출을 기업 수준이 아니라 해당 기능별로 다르게 진행할 수 있고, 국제화 단계 및 조직의 자원과 역량에 적합한 기능별 해외 진출로 연결할 수 있을 때, 좀 더 원활한 해외시장진출이 가능할 수 있다는 실무적인 시사점을 제공한다.

The purpose of this study is to empirically ascertain how the fitness between marketing strategy each firm chooses and environment facing each firm affects the performance of firms measured by the growth rate of market share and the growth rate of profit/sales ratio. In doing so, firms are divided into three groups. With regard to the marketing strategy, firms are classified into three groups based on marketing strategy type; prospector, analyzer, and defender. The main result of this study are as follows: First, responding firms are classified into prospector, analyzer, and defender following Miles & Snow's marketing strategy types. This classification is made using a self typing method and further confirmed by a factor analysis using a number of variables relating marketing objectives and marketing mix. Second, the results show that there are significant differences across marketing strategies in the performance measures of the growth rate of market share and profit/sales ratio. It seems, however, that there is no straight forward relationship between the marketing strategy and the performance measures. This strongly implies that the type of marketing strategy to be adopted by each firm should depend on the environment facing each firm. Third, the result indicates that the growth rate of market share tends to depend only on the marketing strategy type regardless of sufficiency and variation of environment, but profit/sales ratio tends to depend on the fitness between marketing strategy type and environment. It implies that a firm should adopt different marketing strategies for different environment characteristics, in order to enhance the efficiency of resources used reflected in the profit/sales ratio.
