본 연구에서는 한국기업이 해외시장에서 브랜드를 구축할 때 당면하는 문제와 대응방안을 선진국 시장을 중심으로 다루고자 한다. 자체 브랜드 수출의 성공은, 지금까지 성공적이었던 OEM 방식의 수출과는 전혀 상이하기 때문이다. 게다가 많은 한국기업들의 경우 강력한 브랜드를 창출하기 위한 경영자원이 제한되어 있다. 또한, 한국의 기업들은 해외에서의 좋지 않은 한국 제품 이미지로 인하여 부정적인 제조국 이미지를 없애는 방안까지 강구해야만 한다. 이런 이유로 브랜드에 관한 일반적 이론을 넘어서 한국기업의 당면과제를 다루고자 하였다. 이를 위해 주요 한국기업들의 해외시장 마케팅 전략을 살펴보고 이를 평가한 후 향후 브랜드 구축을 위한 방안들을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과 국제적 파워 브랜드로 도약할 수 있는 한국 기업들의 잠재력을 실현하기 위해서는 광고 주제, 스폰서십의 내용, 제품과 가격 정책의 변화를 통해 고품질 이미지 구축에 힘써야 하는 것으로 나타났다.
