본 연구는 중국에서 중요한 소비 계층으로 급성장하고 있는 중국 대도시의 대학생들을 대상으로 경제발전, 교육수준, 제품품질, 기술연구, 생활수준, 민주체제의 요소로 국가이미지를 측정하여 일본과 한국의 국가이미지가 중국 소비자의 식품, 의류패션, 생활용품, 음악제품, 자동차, 가전제품의 구매의향에 미치는 영향의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과 국가이미지가 중국 소비자들의 제품별 구매의향에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 전자제품을 제외한 식품, 생활용품, 의류패션, 음악제품, 자동차 구매시 한국의 국가이미지가 중국 소비자들의 구매의향에 미치는 영향은 일본보다 다소 작은 것으로 나타났다. 조사대상 표본 구성의 한계로 인해 본 연구의 일반화에는 주의가 필요하나 국가이미지의 각 구성요소가 제품구매에 영향을 미치고 있음을 발견하여 국가 차원에서의 국가이미지 구축 전략의 필요성을 확인하고, 또 각 기업들이 자체적으로 중국시장에서의 브랜드인지도를 높이기 위해 노력해야 한다는 점을 시사하고 있다는 점에서 본 연구는 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.

국가와 산업의 이미지가 제품 평가에 영향을 미치고 있다는 것은 주지의 사실이지만, 그러한 영향력의 경로가 되는 매체에 관한 연구는 부족하다. 본 연구는 미국의 대중매체에 드러난 한국의 패션산업 이미지가 한국의 패션제품을 평가하는데 영향을 미칠 것이라는 기본 가정하에, 한국 패션산업의 어떤 측면이 독자들에게 부각되고 있는지를 규명하고자 하였다. 미국의 명성 있는 패션전문 일간지인 WWD(Women's Wear Daily)를 선택하여 한국 패션산업과 관련된 내용분석을 시도하였다. 1998년 1월 1일부터 2008년 6월 30일까지 게재된 기사 중 "Korean" 이라는 단어를 포함한 기사를 우선적으로 검색하고 패션분야와 관련된 기사 총 329개를 최종적으로 선택하여 분석하였다. 섬유공급망 관리 상의 역할별로 분석 범주를 설정하고, 한국 패션산업이 공급망 상에서 어떤 역할을 담당하는 주체로 부각되고 있는지 살펴 보았다. 그 결과, 한국의 패션산업은 섬유와 원단공급업자, 혹은 의류제조업자로서의 역할을 담당하는 것으로 인식되는 경우가 많았다. 이는 역사적으로 한국이 미국의 패션산업의 주요 소싱국가였던 이력을 반영하는 결과이다. 디자인, 브랜딩, 마케팅, 소매유통업을 담당하는 역할자로서 한국 패션산업을 바라보는 관점은 상대적으로 미약하였다. 또한, 한국 패션산업은 패션에 관심이 많고 세계의 유명 고가 브랜드 제품을 소비할 수 있는 의미 있는 시장을 보유하고 있는 것으로 높게 인식되고 있는 반면 한국 패션산업은 거시 경제의 환경 변화에 따라 경기변동을 펴는 취약점이 있음이 부각되기도 하였다.

Despite COVID-19 and the global economic depression, cosmetics exports are continuously increasing due to the growth of Hallyu consumption overseas. Thus, systematic research is needed to determine what impact Hallyu has on cosmetics. Many studies have been conducted on psychological distance, Hallyu preference, and the overall Korean product image, but research related to the image of cosmetics has been insufficient. AMOS 26.0 was used to empirically analyze the impact of cultural distance, social distance, and Hallyu preference on the national image and the impact of the country's image on the image of cosmetics among females experienced with Hallyu in Indonesia and Malaysia. The empirical analysis showed that cultural distance, social distance, and Hallyu preference had a positive effect on the national image, and the national image also had a positive effect on the image of cosmetics. Since Hallyu has a positive indirect effect on the image of cosmetics, it strengthens the competitiveness of cosmetics companies in overseas markets. In Indonesia, only cultural distance and Hallyu preference were found to affect the national image. However, in Malaysia, all variables affected the national image. Thus, even the same Hallyu content could have different effects on the national and cosmetic images in each country. Therefore, strategies for utilizing different Hallyu contents that are suitable for each country are needed to revitalize Korean cosmetics in overseas markets.

The purpose of this study was to make marketing strategies for Korean fashion companies that wish to enter into foreign markets. In-depth-interviews along with documentary research were performed on consumers who lived in Italy. The interviews were executed from May to December 2010. The results of research were as follows. The general image of Korea was at a high level. Therefore, the general and economical image of Korea had a significant impact on product evaluation. However, the Italian consumer had only a little understanding about the Korean fashion brand and product. This was so because the Korean fashion companies did not appear in the Italian fashion market. However, they were accustomed to using products of Samsung and LG. Therefore, the economical image of Korea is necessary to facilitate the official entrance of fashion companies in the Italian market as well as the global market.
