Luxury fashion brands have begun to aggressively introduce art to justify inherent values such as tradition, craftsmanship, and exclusivity that make it difficult for luxury brands to uphold awe-inspiring atmosphere. Artification refers to a process in which non-artistic factors are transformed into art or artistic category under the influence of artistic thoughts or actions. In addition, the consumption space provided by brands have become important as the importance of substantial shopping experience has increased. Especially, since the artification is actively utilized in flagship stores in the communication interface with consumers. This study uses a literature review and case studies to typify and derive the meaning of the method for artification at a flagship store that effectively conveys brand identity and value. The types of artification at a luxury fashion brand flagship store are divided into pursuing brand permanency and maintaining brand exclusivity that also provides a new value of permanency like a work of art to a luxury fashion brand. Basic values, such as scarcity are declining, reviving and justifying the value threatened by the popularization of luxury.

유통업체 브랜드의 중요성에도 불구하고 소비자들의 유통업체 브랜드에 대한 태도 형성에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대한 연구는 그다지 많이 진행되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 유통업체 브랜드에 대한 태도 형성을 이미지 일치성 관점에서 파악하고 있다. 즉, 유통업체 브랜드와 소비자 간의 이미지 일치성, 점포와 유통업체 브랜드로 사용되는 제품군 간의 이미지 일치성, 점포와 소비자 간의 이미지 일치성 등 세 가지 종류의 이미지 일치성을 중심으로 이들이 유통업체 브랜드에 대한 태도에 미치는 영향이 어떠하며 상호 간의 관계는 어떠한지를 알아보고자 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구 결과에 의하면 소비자 자신과 유통업체 브랜드 간의 이미지 일치성은 세 가지 이미지 일치성 중에서 유통업체 브랜드에 대한 태도 형성에 가장 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 점포와 제품군 간의 이미지 일치성도 매우 중요한 것으로 나타나고 있다. 점포와 소비자 간의 이미지 일치성이 유통업체 브랜드 태도에 미치는 효과는 가설과는 반대로 나타났으며 이에 대한 해석도 제공되고 있다.

최근 많은 기업들이 도입하는 온라인 브랜드 커뮤니티는 기업 혁신에 도움이 될 고객의 의견을 수집하는 데 유용하게 활용되고 있다. 본 논문은 온라인 브랜드 커뮤니티에 게시되는 다양한 의견들 중 부정적 감정을 담고 있는 고객의견이 기업 혁신에 기여하는데 미치는 영향력을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 부정적 감정을 Fear, Anger, Shame, Sadness, Frustration의 총 다섯 가지 세분화된 감정으로 분류하고 WordNet과 SentiWordNet을 기반으로 부정적 감정에 대한 감정 어휘군을 구축하였다. 실험을 위해 본 연구에서는 스타벅스의 브랜드 커뮤니티인 MyStarbucksIdea.com에서 81,534건의 고객의견을 수집하였으며 부정적 감정 어휘군을 활용하여 각 고객의견 내 부정적 감정 정보를 추출하였다. 부정적 감정의 유무, 빈도, 강도의 세 가지 측면에 따른 기업 혁신에 대한 영향력을 분석한 결과, 부정적 감정이 담긴 고객의견이 기업 혁신에 유의미한 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 부정적 감정 중, Frustration과 Sadness의 감정이 기업 혁신에 긍정적인 영향을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose - This study aims to understand the brand marketing of agricultural products and redefine their status in South Korea by analyzing impacts on consumer buying behaviors. Research design, data, and methodology - Products, with independent variables, were divided into agricultural brand products and generic products. Dependent variables were limited to expanding sales of a specialty brand through consumer awareness, consumer buying behavior, and confidence in agricultural products' quality. Control variables were based on characteristics of products such as freshness, safety, quality, and their category. Moderating effects were examined on consumer characteristics, including income levels and age. Results - Consumers increasingly purchased agricultural brand products rather than generic agricultural products because of the general reliability of quality assurance. Conclusions - Large agricultural specialty stores have enhanced the perceptions of quality assurance, freshness, safety, and diversity. Through a critical analysis of the domestic consumer income levels and age, gender, and demographic factors, such as agricultural consumer buying behavior not affecting consumers' health and life, this study proposes positive changes in quality perception.

This study presents a conceptual framework for the growth process as a manager based on data gathered from the sales experiences and careers of fashion brand managers. The study participants were seven managers with over 15 years of sales experience in a women's clothing brand in Gwangju. Data were collected through in-depth interviews from January 2018 to September 2018 and analyzed using open coding, axis coding, and selective coding according to Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory method. The study results are as follows. First, this study found six categories and 17 sub-categories based on the shop manager's sales experiences and careers. Second, we found the central job category as well as categories with causality, interaction, moderating and outcome relationships. Third, we developed a paradigm model that links the main phenomena, causal conditions, contextual conditions, intervening conditions, action/interaction strategies, and consequence categories.

Korea Ginseng Corporation is a global ginseng company, owning one of the most leading brands in Korea, CheongKwanJang. Although Korea Ginseng Corporation was an undoubted market leader in the red ginseng market, it faced a new challenge in 2012 due to the changes in market environment. In order to keep its market leadership in a saturated and competitive market, the company decided to extend its product lines alongside the launches of new brands. In this article, the authors demonstrate the development process of the company's brand portfolio strategy to reveal how the company turned CheongKwanJang into a mega-brand. Also, this paper explores the impact of CheongKwanJang's reputation on new brands, thereby illustrating how the company successfully managed to introduce new products outside of the red ginseng category, ranging from organic food to a pet food market.

This study investigates Korean consumers' general perception on brand authenticity, tests the influences of authenticity determinants on the evaluation of fashion brand authenticity and compares the influences in terms of brand category (luxury/non-luxury). A three-stage methodological approach was adopted: (1) A literature review identifies authenticity determinants and generates measurement items. (2) A preliminary study uses a quantitative survey (n=50) to purify the determinants. (3) A quantitative consumer survey (n=150) identifies general perceptions on brand authenticity by measuring the perceived relevance of brand authenticity on determinants and explores the influence of determinants on authenticity evaluations using purified measurements of authenticity determinants. The results of general perception on brand authenticity show that Korean consumers deem authentic brands as honest, sincere and socially responsible. The results indicate obvious differences between luxury and non-luxury brands towards the influence of perceived authenticity determinants (genuine, consistent, original, traditional and authoritative) on authenticity evaluation of luxury/non-luxury brands. In non-luxury brands, only 'genuine' and 'consistent' have significant effects that are similar to the results of the general perception on brand authenticity. However, only 'consistent' and 'authoritative' have significant effects for luxury brands and are different from the general perception.
