최근 인터넷 기반의 웹 및 모바일 기기를 통한 소비 패턴의 다양화와 개성화가 급진전됨에 따라 전통적 유통채널인 오프라인 매장의 효율적 운영이 더욱 중요해졌다. 매장의 매출과 수익 모두를 제고하기 위해 매장은 소비자에게 가장 매력적인 상품을 적시에 공급-판매 해야 하는데 많은 상품들 중에서 어떤 SKU를 취급하는 것이 판매 확률을 높이고 재고 비용을 낮출 수 있는지에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 특히, 여러 지역에 걸쳐 다수의 오프라인 매장을 통해 상품을 판매하는 기업의 경우 고객에게 매력적인 적절한 SKU를 추천 받아 취급할 수 있다면 매장의 매출 및 수익률 제고에 도움이 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 개인화 추천에 이용되어 왔던 협업 필터링과 하이브리드 필터링 등의 추천 시스템(Recommender System)을 국가별, 지역별로 복수의 판매 매장을 통해 동종 브랜드를 취급하는 유통 기업의 매장 단위 취급 SKU 추천 방식을 제안하였다. 각 매장의 취급 품목별 구매 데이터를 활용하여 각 매장 별 유사성(Similarity)을 계산하고 각 매장의 SKU별 판매 이력에 따라 협업 필터링을 하여 최종적으로 매장에 개별 SKU를 추천하였다. 또한 매장 프로파일 데이터를 활용하여 주변수 분석 (PCA : Principal Component Analysis) 및 군집 분석(Clustering)을 통하여 매장을 4개의 군집으로 분류한 뒤 각 군집 내에서 협업 필터링을 적용한 하이브리드 필터링 방식으로 추천 시스템을 구현하고 실제 판매 데이터를 바탕으로 두 방식의 성능을 측정하였다. 현존하는 대부분의 추천 시스템은 사용자에게 영화, 음악 등의 아이템을 추천하는 방식으로 연구가 진행되어 왔고 실제로 산업계에서의 적용 또한 개인화 추천 시스템이 주류를 이루고 있다. 그 동안 개인화 서비스 영역에서 주로 다루어져 왔던 이러한 추천 시스템을 동종 브랜드를 취급하는 유통 기업의 매장 단위에 적용하여 각 매장의 취급 SKU를 추천하는 방식에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 기존 추천 방법론의 추천 적용 대상이 '개인의 영역이었다면 본 연구에서는 국가별, 지역별로 복수의 판매 매장을 통해 개인의 영역을 넘어 매장의 영역으로 확대하여 동종 브랜드를 취급하는 유통 기업의 매장 단위 취급 SKU 추천 방식을 제안하고 있다. 또한 기존의 추천시스템은 온라인에 한정되었다면 이를 오프라인으로 활용 범위를 넓히고, 기존 개인을 기반으로 분석을 하는 것보다 매장영역으로 확대 적용하기에 적합한 알고리즘을 개발하기 위해 데이터마이닝 기법을 적용하여 추천 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구의 결과가 갖는 의의는 개인화 추천 알고리즘을 동일 브랜드를 취급하는 복수의 판매 매장에 적용하여 의미 있는 결과를 도출하고 실제 기업을 대상으로 시스템으로 구축하여 활용할 수 있는 구체적 방법론을 제시했다는 데에 있다. 개인화 영역을 위주로 이루어졌던 기존의 추천 시스템과 관련한 학계의 연구 영역을 동종 브랜드를 취급하는 기업의 판매 매장으로 확장시킨 첫 시도라는 데에도 의미가 있다. 2014년 03주차 ~ 05주차 전(全) 매장 판매 수량 실적 Top 100개 SKU로 추천의 대상을 한정하여 협업 필터링과 하이브리드 필터링 방식으로 52개 매장 별로 취급 SKU를 추천하고, 추천 받은 SKU에 대한 2014년 06주차 매장별 판매 실적을 집계하여 두 추천 방식의 성과를 비교하였다. 두 추천 방식을 비교한 이유는 본 연구의 추천 방법이 기존 추천 방식 보다 높은 성과를 입증하기 위해 단순히 오프라인에 협업필터링을 적용한 것을 기준 모델로 정의하였다. 이 기준 모델에 오프라인 매장 관점의 특성을 잘 반영한 본 연구 모델인 하이브리드 필터링 방법과 비교 함으로써 성과를 입증한다. 연구에서 제안한 방식은 기존 추천 방식보다 높은 성과를 나타냈으며, 이는 국내 대기업 의류업체의 실제 판매데이터를 활용하여 입증하였다. 본 연구는 개인 수준의 추천시스템을 그룹수준으로 확장하여 효율적으로 접근하는 방법을 이론적인 프레임 워크를 만들었을 뿐 아니라 실제 데이터를 기반으로 분석하여 봄으로써 실제 기업들이 적용해 볼 수 있다는 점에서 연구의 가치가 크다.

To survive in the global competitive environment, enterprise should be able to solve various problems and find the optimal solution effectively. The big-data is being perceived as a tool for solving enterprise problems effectively and improve competitiveness with its' various problem solving and advanced predictive capabilities. Due to its remarkable performance, the implementation of big data systems has been increased through many enterprises around the world. Currently the big-data is called the 'crude oil' of the 21st century and is expected to provide competitive superiority. The reason why the big data is in the limelight is because while the conventional IT technology has been falling behind much in its possibility level, the big data has gone beyond the technological possibility and has the advantage of being utilized to create new values such as business optimization and new business creation through analysis of big data. Since the big data has been introduced too hastily without considering the strategic value deduction and achievement obtained through the big data, however, there are difficulties in the strategic value deduction and data utilization that can be gained through big data. According to the survey result of 1,800 IT professionals from 18 countries world wide, the percentage of the corporation where the big data is being utilized well was only 28%, and many of them responded that they are having difficulties in strategic value deduction and operation through big data. The strategic value should be deducted and environment phases like corporate internal and external related regulations and systems should be considered in order to introduce big data, but these factors were not well being reflected. The cause of the failure turned out to be that the big data was introduced by way of the IT trend and surrounding environment, but it was introduced hastily in the situation where the introduction condition was not well arranged. The strategic value which can be obtained through big data should be clearly comprehended and systematic environment analysis is very important about applicability in order to introduce successful big data, but since the corporations are considering only partial achievements and technological phases that can be obtained through big data, the successful introduction is not being made. Previous study shows that most of big data researches are focused on big data concept, cases, and practical suggestions without empirical study. The purpose of this study is provide the theoretically and practically useful implementation framework and strategies of big data systems with conducting comprehensive literature review, finding influencing factors for successful big data systems implementation, and analysing empirical models. To do this, the elements which can affect the introduction intention of big data were deducted by reviewing the information system's successful factors, strategic value perception factors, considering factors for the information system introduction environment and big data related literature in order to comprehend the effect factors when the corporations introduce big data and structured questionnaire was developed. After that, the questionnaire and the statistical analysis were performed with the people in charge of the big data inside the corporations as objects. According to the statistical analysis, it was shown that the strategic value perception factor and the inside-industry environmental factors affected positively the introduction intention of big data. The theoretical, practical and political implications deducted from the study result is as follows. The frist theoretical implication is that this study has proposed theoretically effect factors which affect the introduction intention of big data by reviewing the strategic value perception and environmental factors and big data related precedent studies and proposed the variables and measurement items which were analyzed empirically and verified. This study has meaning in that it has measured the influence of each variable on the introduction intention by verifying the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variables through structural equation model. Second, this study has defined the independent variable(strategic value perception, environment), dependent variable(introduction intention) and regulatory variable(type of business and corporate size) about big data introduction intention and has arranged theoretical base in studying big data related field empirically afterwards by developing measurement items which has obtained credibility and validity. Third, by verifying the strategic value perception factors and the significance about environmental factors proposed in the conventional precedent studies, this study will be able to give aid to the afterwards empirical study about effect factors on big data introduction. The operational implications are as follows. First, this study has arranged the empirical study base about big data field by investigating the cause and effect relationship about the influence of the strategic value perception factor and environmental factor on the introduction intention and proposing the measurement items which has obtained the justice, credibility and validity etc. Second, this study has proposed the study result that the strategic value perception factor affects positively the big data introduction intention and it has meaning in that the importance of the strategic value perception has been presented. Third, the study has proposed that the corporation which introduces big data should consider the big data introduction through precise analysis about industry's internal environment. Fourth, this study has proposed the point that the size and type of business of the corresponding corporation should be considered in introducing the big data by presenting the difference of the effect factors of big data introduction depending on the size and type of business of the corporation. The political implications are as follows. First, variety of utilization of big data is needed. The strategic value that big data has can be accessed in various ways in the product, service field, productivity field, decision making field etc and can be utilized in all the business fields based on that, but the parts that main domestic corporations are considering are limited to some parts of the products and service fields. Accordingly, in introducing big data, reviewing the phase about utilization in detail and design the big data system in a form which can maximize the utilization rate will be necessary. Second, the study is proposing the burden of the cost of the system introduction, difficulty in utilization in the system and lack of credibility in the supply corporations etc in the big data introduction phase by corporations. Since the world IT corporations are predominating the big data market, the big data introduction of domestic corporations can not but to be dependent on the foreign corporations. When considering that fact, that our country does not have global IT corporations even though it is world powerful IT country, the big data can be thought to be the chance to rear world level corporations. Accordingly, the government shall need to rear star corporations through active political support. Third, the corporations' internal and external professional manpower for the big data introduction and operation lacks. Big data is a system where how valuable data can be deducted utilizing data is more important than the system construction itself. For this, talent who are equipped with academic knowledge and experience in various fields like IT, statistics, strategy and management etc and manpower training should be implemented through systematic education for these talents. This study has arranged theoretical base for empirical studies about big data related fields by comprehending the main variables which affect the big data introduction intention and verifying them and is expected to be able to propose useful guidelines for the corporations and policy developers who are considering big data implementationby analyzing empirically that theoretical base.
