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.

The results of the study show that managers of Korean manufacturing firms pursue international business strategy(IBS) to achieve four different objectives: global integration, national responsiveness, market expansion, or development and exploitation of firm-specific knowledge. IBS is closely related to the international business environment of the firms. When managers think they can exploit economies of scale by integrating worldwide operations, they prefer the global standardization strategy. Managers of firms which implement the localization strategy actively recognize the importance of the strategy more than those of other firms. IBS helps to improve the overall international competitiveness of the firms. Especially. implementing global standardization and localization simultaneously seems to be useful to strengthen the competitiveness of the firms.

This study is intended to empirically investigate determinants of the degree of standardization vs. adaptation in global marketing programs for Korea firms. Our study has two main focuses. First, our study takes a global perspective instead of a binational, i. e., home vs. foreign perspective. Second, we accommodated two conflicting veiws - contingency and resource-based views in explaining determinants of global marketing strategy. As such determinants, we considered global market dynamism and complexity from a contingency view and global marketing assets from a resource-based view. Surveys were conducted with 128 Korean firms engaged in global marketing. Our study found that Korean firms with global assets tend to engage in highly standardized global marketing programs. On the other hand, global market dynamism and complexity did not show statistically significant relationships with the degree of standardization vs. adaptation. The findings suggest that a resource-based view may be more powerful than a contingency view in explaining global marketing strategies of Korean firms.

국내에 진출한 Carrefour, Wal-Mart, Tesco(home plus) 등 다국적화된 소매기업들을 통하여 주 2 휴일제 실시로 변화가 예상되는 그들의 점포운영방안을 실적을 분석해봄으로써 보다 효율적인 경영전략과 운영 방안을 모색해보고자 하였다. 국내 할인점의 포화기 진입단계에 들어선 시점에서 국내 진출 다국적 기업들은 국내 선두 기업과 비교하여 짧은 진출 역사에도 안정성과 수익성 측면, 활동성 부문에도 양호한 결과를 나타내고 있으며, 이들의 운영의 전략적 측면은 구매 부문의 EDLP와 운영부문에 EDLC가 선 순환되고 유통·물류정보시스템과 결합하면서 Low Cost Operation이 추진하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 다국적 소매기업들은 표준화와 현지화를 대립이 아닌 양립과 조화로 보면서 현지화 부문에서는 MD(VMD) 부문 개선과 고객서비스를 개선함으로써 국내 기업들의 강한 경쟁자로서 접근하고 있다고 판단된다. 일부 우려에 대한 다국적 기업의 실적 저조에 대한 판단은 그들의 경영전략과 현지화 단계에서의 차이를 감안하면 이른 판단으로 사려 되며, 이러한 다국적화 소매유통기업에 대한 운영방안에 대한 고찰은 다국적 소매기업 및 국내 소매업체들의 경쟁력 향상에도 기여할 것으로 본다.

한국 식품화의 위상은 구이류 및 전골류 조리시 발생하는 냄새, 연기, 기름 튐 등의 문제로 인해 낮게 평가 되고 있는 실정이다. 현재 사용하고 있는 불판 및 가열원료가 다양하여 맛의 균일화가 어렵고 사용 후 세척처리가 번거로운데다 환경오염까지 발생시킨다. 구이 및 전골에 소비되는 에너지가 잔량을 모두 섭취할 동안 연속적으로 공급하므로 에너지 소비 및 내부 공기조건이 열악한데 반해 연기 및 냄새와 관련된 제품의 개발과 생산에 참여하는 업체는 증가하고 있다. 하지만 기술력 및 자본력이 미미한 수준에 있어 많은 기술적 측면의 보완이 요구된다. 또 소스, 양념, 부재료 등의 가공처리를 외국인의 식문화에 적합하도록 맛, 향, 관능의 관점에서 규격화 및 현지화도 요구되며, 공급되는 원재료의 고기종류, 규격, 등급 등의 조건들이 국내 관능뿐만 아니라 외국인의 관능적인 관점에서 표준화가 시급하다. 주한 외국인을 대상으로 한 설문에서 59%가 한국음식의 세계화가 가능하고 89.9%가 한식메뉴를 소개할 의사가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 외국인 소비자의 인지도에서 불고기와 갈비 등의 구이류가 다른 한식보다 선호도가 증가하는 것이기 때문인 것으로 분석된다. 2009년 농림수산식품부가 '한식 세계화 프로젝트'를 선포하여 1만여 곳의 해외식당을 2017년까지 4만 곳으로 증가할 예정이다. 따라서 한식문화의 표준화를 위한 용어 재료 기구 단위 등의 표준화 기반개발을 바탕으로 조리 및 식문화의 표준화가 요구되고 있다. 우리나라는 구이전문점들이 일반주거 및 아파트 단지에 위치하고 있어 연기와 냄새에 대한 민원 및 분쟁이 발생되고 있다. 이에 집진, 제연 설비의 설치비용이 많이 소요되고 있으며 대부분의 구이설비가 수입제품으로 규모가 매우 크다. 일본의 경우 2002년도부터 음식점에서 발생하는 연기에 관한 규제를 법제화하였다. 위의 기술적, 경제 산업적, 사회 문화적 측면의 필요성을 바탕으로 본 연구는 연기 음식 냄새 저감 성능이 뛰어난 친환경 저에너지의 가열조리 기구 개발 및 국내외 현장적용 산업화 모델 구축을 통해 한식당 시설 개선 및 고급화를 유도하고 세계시장에서의 한식문화 경쟁력을 확보코자 한식문화 경쟁력 확보와 경제, 문화, 산업적 성공 비즈니스 모델을 제시하였다.

Globally Integrated Enterprise(GIE) has recently emerged as a popular concept in multinational enterprises(MNEs). In this paper, we use the AAA triangle in order to explain the degrees of adaptation, aggregation and arbitrage in IBM, P&G and NOKIA. The AAA triangle provides a basis for understanding GIE on the topic. This research also examines IT collaboration in order to provide practical guidance for implementation of AAA triangle. From the case study, several results are derived. First, we suggest a step-by-step approach for GIE to enhance global value creation with a situation. Second, we emphasize the importance of IT collaboration in process of introducing the AAA strategies. We believe that the issues we have raised in this paper will be useful to MNEs. In terms of the AAA triangle, this would be best thought of as a lateral shift to a new area of business, where the organization would have more of a competitive advantage.

Researching comparatively the effect of advertisements for standardization and localization of global enterprises in connection with Korean university students and company employees, it turned out Korean university students prominently prefer localization advertisement in the TV advertisement of global enterprises and company employees, standardization advertisement. Especially, the difference between standardization advertisement and localization advertisement of university students and company employees was very remarkable in trademark attitude and advertisement information rather than advertisement attitude. With respect to model appearing in the advertisement, it turned out university students prefer localization advertisement where domestic models appear and company employees prefer standardization advertisement where foreign models appear.

Recent lifeline with Internet and smart-phone is a new ICT-based revolution that has transformed the structure of economics and business activities in digital economy. This paper deals with some economic perspectives on the conceptual concerns on transaction costs and its applications to energy and environments, and glocalization strategies of e-business. First, we consider substantial differences between offline and online channel transactions and categorize three different aspects of transaction costs in the purchasing process in both channels. Second, we examine the impacts of e-business that affect sustainable environments and provide some considerations on energy savings, product-process design, and logistics. Finally, we present some opportunities and challenges posted by global e-business and outline the economics of networking in achieving enhanced performance and competitive advantage through glocalization strategies of e-business.
