The purpose of this study is to establish a research model regarding the causal relationship between the capabilities of export company, export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness, export competitive advantage and export performance and present the improvement measures of export performance through an empirical study targeting Korean export companies. According to the analysis result, the strategic performance has a positive effect on the financial performance, and such analysis result indicates that high satisfaction level of customers on an export product improves brand loyalty, and high brand loyalty leads to high repurchase and sales increase so that high financial performance can be achieved. A hypothesis saying that a competitive advantage would have a positive effect on the financial performance was not supported, but it is shown that the competitive advantage has a positive effect on the strategic performance. The competitive advantage of an export company has a direct effect on the strategic performance but it seems to have an effect on the financial performance through the strategic performance. It is shown that the export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness has a positive effect on the competitive advantage. Therefore, as the export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness of an export company becomes higher, the company can provide a higher value to consumers in foreign markets, improving the competitive advantage. Among the influence factors of export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness, export marketing program capabilities, relationship capabilities and managerial competence except for export marketing strategy formulation capabilities has a positive effect on the implementation effectiveness. Such analysis result shows that export marketing program capabilities, relationship capabilities and managerial competence which enable the company to implement export marketing strategies are specifically important for effective implementation of export marketing strategies. However, the export marketing strategy formulation capabilities has no statistically significant effect on the export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness, because the export marketing strategy formulation capabilities seem to have an effect on the export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness through the export marketing program which is a specific action program of export marketing strategy. Based on the research results, the following strategic implications are presented: First, the export marketing strategy formulation capabilities have no statistically significant effect on the export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness, because the export marketing strategy formulation capabilities have an effect on the export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness through the export marketing program. The relationship capabilities have the highest effect on the export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness among four export company capabilities, and this shows how important the favorable relationship between export company and customers/distributors of export markets is, and the export company should place the most importance on the relationship with customers and distributors of export markets in the long term. Meanwhile, the managerial competence also has a substantial effect on the export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness, and it shows that the reinforcement of manager's leadership and export marketing manager's capability for implementing export marketing strategies can lead to the improvement of export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness. Second, no matter how good export marketing strategy is, it is difficult to expect high export performance without effective implementation. Therefore, the strategy implementation effectiveness should be kept in mind from the stage of export marketing strategy formulation in order to improve export performance. And CEO of export company should establish the organizational culture which makes members of the organization recognize the importance of export marketing strategy implementation, and motivate managers to make export marketing strategy implementation effective. Third, an export company is able to gain competitive advantage for the fierce competition in export market by developing and implementing an appropriate export marketing strategy. Therefore, the export company should remember that the improvement of export marketing strategy implementation effectiveness leads to the reinforcement of competitive advantage and focus on the development and implementation of export marketing strategy which can provide higher value in order to improve the satisfaction level of consumers in export market.

본 연구의 목적은 수출기업의 역량, 수출마케팅전략 실행효과, 경쟁우위 및 수출성과의 인과관계에 대한 연구모형을 구축한 후에, 국내 수출기업들을 대상으로 실증연구를 통하여 수출성과 제고방안을 제시하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 실증적 연구를 위해 구조방정식모형 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과를 보면, 전략적 성과는 재무적 성과에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 기업이 제공하는 수출제품에 대한 고객의 높은 만족도는 상표충성도를 제고시키며, 높은 상표충성도는 높은 재구매와 매출증가로 이어져 높은 재무적 성과를 창출하게 됨을 의미한다. 경쟁우위는 재무적 성과에 긍정적 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설은 지지되지 않았지만, 경쟁우위가 전략적 성과에는 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 수출기업의 경쟁우위가 전략적 성과에는 직접적으로 영향을 미치지만, 재무적 성과에는 전략적 성과를 매개로하여 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다. 따라서 수출기업은 단순히 재무적 성과 제고만을 중요시하기 보다는, 장기적 관점에서 전략적 성과의 제고를 위한 수출마케팅전략의 개발과 실행을 통해 재무적 성과를 제고시킬 수 있어야 할 것이다. 수출마케팅전략 실행효과는 경쟁우위에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 수출기업의 수출마케팅전략 실행효과가 높아질수록 해외시장의 소비자들에게 보다 높은 가치를 제공할 수 있게 되어 경쟁우위가 제고될 수 있다고 보아진다. 그러므로 수출기업은 수출마케팅전략 실행효과 제고가 수출기업의 경쟁우위의 강화로 이어짐을 인식하고, 수출시장 소비자들의 만족도를 제고시킬 수 있도록 보다 더 높은 가치를 제공할 수 있는 수출마케팅전략의 개발과 실행에 역점을 두어야 할 것이다. 수출마케팅전략 실행효과에 대한 영향요인 중에서 수출마케팅전략개발 역량을 제외한 수출마케팅프로그램 역량, 관계형성 역량 및 경영자 역량이 수출마케팅전략 실행효과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 통해 수출마케팅전략의 효과적인 실행이 이루어기 위해서는 수출마케팅전략을 구체적으로 실행할 수 있는 수출마케팅프로그램 역량과 관계형성 역량 및 경영자 역량이 중요함을 알 수 있다. 따라서 수출기업은 수출마케팅전략 실행효과를 제고시키기 위해 수출마케팅프로그램 역량과 관계형성 역량 및 경영자 역량 등을 강화해야 할 것이다.
