Market globalization rapidly has changed market environment. So, in this study, we suggest global design process for many global companies which try to get global competitive advantages over through design. We create a new frame of study for global design as examining the circulative causal sequence structure of global consumer culture, global design, and global segment consumers in the meaning structure of global consumer culture and movement. And, with the new frame of study, the purpose of this study is to propose global consumer culture-based global design process for preference design. For the purpose, we reviewed global segmentation market, global consumer, global consumer culture and global design. And to search the circulative causal sequence structure, we applied to the theory of cultural movement structure by McCraken to constitute the frame of this study. For the empirical research, we focused on global teens consumer culture as the second data. Finally, we suggested global consumer culture-based global design strategy and discussed our future study.

To prove the effectiveness of global brand strategy, this paper tries to analyze the effects of brand globalness on brand attitude and behaviors. In addition, the moderating effect of consumers' cultural intelligence is assessed in the influence of brand globalness on brand attitude and behaviors. Based on the analysis of two hundred seven consumers, it is founded that the brand globalness has a strong influence on brand credibility and benevolence which exerts brand royalty as expected. In this process, however, the moderating effect of consumers' cultural intelligence is shown to be statistically ineffective. This implies that the global brand strategy is useful regardless of individual consumers' cultural intelligence.

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of regional globalization and its impact to globalized company. As emerging markets evolve from the periphery to the core of marketing practice, we will need to figure out their unique characteristics. Emerging markets are distinctly different from mature markets. Because of market heterogeneity it is important to segment customer and find out their characteristics for the companies. In this research we explores how inward internationalization, susceptibility to global consumer culture affect consumer's brand attitude and adoption of global brand. This study examines various strategic issues in the context of China. The result suggest that inward internationalization is an antecedent factor of susceptibility to global consumer culture and also influence to brand attitude and brand adoption positively. Several implications for Korean content providing companies and marketing strategies are discussed.

This study is aimed at examining the degree in message recognitions with respect to the same global brand Ad. campaign intended for local consumers in Korea, China, and United-States, and applying the results to the forseeable message production of global Ad. campaigns. For this purpose, we conducted a survey by providing those consumers with Anycall Ads. of Samsung mobile phones, which were inserted in local printed advertisements. We concluded that the cultural and environmental differences of markets represent different degrees in message recognitions among these three countries. This result suggests that the localization based on local cultures and market situations is more important than the general standardization in the future global brand Ad. campaigns.

본 연구는 글로벌 시장에서 소비자들에게 주요 제품평가단서로서 이용되고 있는 브랜드, 가격, 물리적 특징, 판매점과 관련된 정보내용(합의정보와 속성정보)에 대하여 소비자의 문화적 지향성이 정보탐색원천과 정보탐색 유형별로 어떻게 작용하는가를 한국과 중국의 소비자들을 대상으로 탐색해 보았다. 연구 결과 양 국가에서 공통적으로 발견된 내용은 개인주의 성향을 가진 소비자들은 타인의 태도가 반영되지 않고 소비자들에게 스스로 판단하도록 하는 속성정보를 더 선호하였으며, 반면에 집단주의 성향을 가진 소비자들은 타인의 태도가 반영된 합의정보를 더 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 개인주의 성향을 가진 소비자들은 비인적 정보원천에서 속성정보를, 반면 집단주의 성향을 가진 소비자들은 인적정보원천에서 합의정보를 주로 더 이용하였고, 정보탐색 유형에서는 지속적 탐색보다 구매전 탐색에서 합의정보와 속성정보를 더 많이 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 양 국가의 비교문화적 관점에서 차별적 결과도 제시되었는데, 개인주의 성향을 가진 한국 소비자들은 속성정보와 더불어 합의성 정보도 병행하여 이용하였으나 중국 소비자들은 주로 비인적 정보원천을 활용한 속성정보를 주로 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 집단주의 성향을 가진 한국 소비자들은 주로 판매원을 통한 합의정보를 선호하였으나 중국 소비자들은 판매원과 더불어 친구나 동료의 구전정보도 평상시에 많이 탐색하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 글로벌 시장을 공략하려는 국제 마케터들은 공통된 결과들을 바탕으로 한 표준화된 마케팅단서의 활용과 더불어 양 국가간의 문화적 차이에 기초한 차별적인 마케팅 믹스도 동시에 수행해야 할 필요성을 제기하고 있다.

This study tests the validity of the Susceptibility of Global Consumer Culture (SGCC) Scale that is composed of three dimensions, conformity to consumption trend, quality perception, and social prestige, on Korean consumers. The study also identifies the relationships with consumer susceptibility to interpersonal influence and attitude toward purchasing global fashion brands. Utilizing the convenience sampling method, college students aged over 20 living in the Seoul metropolitan area were selected. Three hundred questionnaires were used in the statistical analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, paired t test, and path analysis using structural equation modeling. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the SGCC scale measured by three dimensions fit well for young Korean consumers. Path analysis showed that identical conformity positively influences all three dimensions of the SGCC scale and that informational conformity positively influences purchasing intention toward global fashion brands. Among the three dimensions of SGCC, quality perception and social prestige positively influence purchasing intention toward global fashion brands.

21세기 국제화 시대라고 불리는 현 사회는 다양한 기술 산업의 발달로 인하여 정보통신 기술의 시대로 접어든지 오래 되었고 소비자의 구매 방식 또한 많은 변화가 있었다. 소비자들은 이제 전자상거래(e-business)라는 방식으로 소비자 개개인의 니드(need)에 맞는 다양한 제품을 검색하고 주문하는 글로벌 마켓을 형성하고 있다. 시장 및 경쟁의 세계화와 고객 요구의 다변화로 대변되는 21세기 경영환경 하에서 대부분의 의류/패션업체들은 경쟁력의 우위를 점하기 위해 on-line사업으로 뛰어든지 이미 오래다. (중략)

The study examined moderating role of thinking style about causality in the relationship between the perceived brand globalness(PBG) and the brand evaluation. Thinking style about causality is divided into interactionism and dispositionism. Individualism culture shows a tendency of thinking style about causality to dispositionism, and collectivist cultures shows a tendency for interactionism. We conducted a survey on Korean college students who represent collectivist cultures and foreign students from countries of individualistic culture and analyzed data through structural equation modeling. Analysis result showed that the higher the respondents perceived PBG, the higher they perceived brand quality, brand quality, and brand price. However, it showed that PBG has greater positive effects on perceived brand quality and perceived brand reputation among Korean students than students from individualistic cultures. On the other hand, the effects of PBG on perceived brand price did not show any significant difference between Korean students and students from individualist cultures. Thus, we can conclude that thinking style about causality plays a moderating role in the relationship between PBG and perceived brand quality and brand reputation, while it does not do so between PBG and perceived brand price.

In recent years, the rapid proliferation of domestic and global Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms, in conjunction with the global pandemic, has substantially enhanced the accessibility of global contents. This trend is expected to continue to strengthen. This study examines the extent to which domestic consumers experience global contents through OTT platforms and its impact on individual consumers' global identity and the formation of global brand attitudes. We conducted an empirical analysis based on a survey of university students, who constitute the main consumer group for global contents through OTT platforms. The results show that as exposure to global content s and diversity of those experiences through OTT increase, respondents exhibit higher levels of global consumer orientation and global identity. This, in turn, has a positive influence on the formation of global brand attitudes.
