The objective of the present study is to analyze the relationship of suppliers and customer participation in product development process and effects of such participation on product innovation since it is getting more and more weight in manufacturing companies. It is also aimed in this study to explore if business performance of manufacturing companies might be affected by the suppliers participation as well as product innovation that is realizable by such participation. From the analysis, following conclusions could be drawn: First, suppliers participation in manufacturing companies turned out to have influence upon product innovation (standardized coefficient=0.193, C.R=3.510), implying that nothing is more important than the role of suppliers who have intention to realize innovation through participation in manufacturing companies. Second, the analysis showed that customer participation exercised impact upon product innovation of manufacturing companies (standardized coefficient=0.686, C.R=6.433), suggesting that the more customer participate in product development process of manufacturing companies, the more manufacturing companies could sharpen their competitiveness. Third, it was made known from the analysis that the product innovation thanks to suppliers and customer participation in manufacturing companies could have influence upon their business performance (standardized coefficient=0.762, C.R=7.666), signifying that the product innovation of manufacturing companies might depend on the participation of suppliers and manufacturers and, in turn, could affect their own business performance.

본 연구는 정기선 해운기업의 고객관계관리의 실제적인 내용을 살펴보고, 이러한 고객관계관리를 촉진시키는 조직의 전반적인 특성들을 고찰하여 조직특성과 고객관계관리와의 관계를 분석하고, 고객관계관리가 조직성과에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실증분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 정기선 해운기업의 고객관계관리에 영향을 미치는 조직특성은 시장지향성과 최고경영자의 지원으로 확인되었으며, 고객관계관리는 종업원만족도, 서비스경쟁력 향상, 재무적 성과, 그리고 고객만족도와 재구매의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 정기선 해운기업의 고객관계관리를 전사적 차원에서 조직문화와 관리체계 등의 조직특성들과 연계되어 시행되어야 한다는 것을 제시하였으며, 이러한 조직특성들을 바탕으로 한 고객관계관리 전략이 정기선 해운기업의 조직성과와 고객차원의 만족도 및 재구매의도의 전반적인 경영성과에 영향을 미치게 된다는 것을 실증함으로써, 정기선 해운기업의 고객관계관리를 해운기업 및 고객 관점에서 종합적으로 조사 분석하였다는데 연구의 의의가 있다고 하겠다.
