Purpose - Numerous studies have tried to assess the role of a warranty as an explanatory instrument for product quality. While one study argued that manufacturers signal their superior quality to consumers by extending the duration of a warranty, quality is not necessarily related to warranty and a warranty for a short duration is a sign of high product quality. However, there are limitations to measuring product quality in terms of a single variable such as a warranty. Some other studies have evaluated the influence of brand power or value and price on the supposed quality of a product while the influence of warranty was found to be insignificant. Research design, data, methodology - The study analyzes the influence of brand power and the country of origin effect on consumers' perception of product quality in line with warranty and establishes a priority strategy. Especially, consumer experience has a significant influence on state of the art technology products like applied home electronics as these goods are generally quite expensive and consumers expend significant energy in purchasing them, so the associated warranty and brand can have a critical role in the decision making process. The price of the product was excluded in this discussion as it continually varies with the market share of the product. Results - The results of the analysis are as follows: First, each of the factors such as the standard of the warranty, brand power, and country of origin effect influences the degree of satisfaction of an individual. Second, the factors brand power and quality of the warranty interact both complementarily and synergistically at a time, depending on the brand power. As brand power is more significant, the degree of satisfaction is greater in case of products with low quality warranty compared to those with high quality warranty. Third, the brand power and country of origin effect present a complementary interaction. Fourth, the country of origin effect and quality of a warranty interact synergistically. Conclusions - Thus, the higher the quality of warranty, greater is the increment in the degree of satisfaction. The comprehensive study on the effect of the country of origin on the purchase decision process and the degree of satisfaction compared to the other elements shows that in case of Japanese and Korean markets the brand power of a company is desirable in sustaining the quality of warranty to the industrial average. Also, there is no significant improvement in the perceived quality of the product when the quality of the warranty is lowered. Therefore, the warranty effect diminishes when the value of the brand is known, while it perishes when both the brand power and the country of origin effect are strong enough.

As more companies become interested in global markets, it has become crucial for firms to create globalized brands whose positioning, advertising strategy, personality, looks, and feel are consistent across nations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the global branding strategy of the Hyundai Motor Company (hereafter HMC) in order to show how the company processes its branding strategy. HMC, one of the leading global companies in the automobile industry, set up its brand identity as "Modern premium", in alignment with their new slogan "New Thinking New Possibilities", in 2011. The aim of the "Modern premium" concept was to provide consumers with new experiences and values beyond their expectations. HMC wanted their consumers to think of their cars as not only a medium of transportation but as a life space, where they can share experiences alongside HMC. In an effort to conduct consumer research in 5 different nations, HMC selected "brilliant" as a key communication concept. The word "brilliant" expresses the functional, experiential, and emotional dimensions of HMC. HMC furthermore chose "live brilliant" as a key campaign message in order to reinforce their communication concept. After this decision, the "live brilliant" campaign was exhibited through major broadcast channels around the world. The campaign was the company's first worldwide brand campaign, where a single message was applied to all major markets, with the goal of building up a consistent image as a global brand. This global branding strategy is worth examining due to its significant contribution to growth generation in the global market. Overall, the 'live brilliant' global brand campaign not only improved HMC's reputation image-wise, with the 'Modern Premium' conceptualization of the brand as 'simple', 'creative' and 'caring', but also improved the consumer's familiarity, preference and purchase intention of HMC. In fact, the "live brilliant" campaign was a successful campaign which increased HMC's brand value. Notably, HMC's brand value increased continuously and reached 9 billion US dollars in 2013, leading it to reach 43rd place in the Global Brand Rankings according to the brand consulting group Interbrand. Its brand value largely surpassed that of Nissan (65th) and Chevrolet (89th) in 2013. While it is true that the global branding strategy of HMC involved higher risks, it was highly successful according to cross-nation consumer research. Therefore, this paper concludes that the global branding strategy of HMC made a positive impact on its performance. We further suggest HMC to combine its successful marketing with social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and embrace digital media by extending its brand communication horizon to the mobile internet

COVID-19 대유행으로 급속히 침체하였던 국내외 항공업계는 바이러스 백신 접종을 시작으로 조심스럽게 경영 정상화를 준비하고 있으며, 국내 및 근거리 해외 시장을 공유하고 있는 대형항공사와 저비용항공사 간의 경쟁 역시 다시 치열해질 것으로 예상한다. 이러한 상황에서 지금까지 국가, 도시, 일부 기업을 대상으로 이루어지던 브랜드 자산에 관한 연구를 국내 항공사 대상으로 진행하였다. 본 연구는 대상의 인식, 가치, 태도, 신념과 같은 개념을 연구하기 위해 양적·질적 연구 방법의 한계를 보완하고자 제안된 Q 방법론을 적용하였다. 연구 결과, 항공사 브랜드 이용자들은 실속 추구형, 가치 지향형, 업무 관련형의 총 3가지 유형이 도출되었고, Q 표본으로부터 25개 진술문을 확보하고 20명으로 구성된 P 표본의 주관성을 관찰하여 유형별 특징을 구체적으로 살펴보았다. 대형항공사와 저비용항공사의 브랜드 자산 유형을 탐색하고, 소비자의 인식을 비교함으로써 항공사 브랜드 자산의 효율적 관리에 전략적 방향을 제시하고, 후속 연구를 위한 가설을 제공한다는 측면에서 의의가 있다.

브랜드 이미지와 자아이미지가 제품구매 선호에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 살펴 본 결과 브랜드 이미지는 제품의 물적 속성과 상징적 의미를 공유하였으며 이러한 상징은 구매하는 사람의 의미를 다른 사람에게 커뮤니케이션 하는 역할이 될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 개성을 갖기도 하는데 특히 소비자들의 기억 속에 자리 잡은 브랜드이미지는 구매의사결정 과정 중 대안 평가 단계에 영향을 미침으로써 지속적 반복적 구매 여부의 결정 요인이 되고 있다. 브랜드는 제품의 물적 속성과 아울러 상징적 의미에 의해 그 이미지가 형성되며 제품이 상징적 의미로 사용될 경우에는 그 물적 특성보다는 소비자의 가치 체계가 더 많이 작용한다. 제품 자체가 상징적 의미로 사용될 때 브랜드이미지의 형성은 소비자의 가치체계에 초점을 맞춤으로써 효과적으로 소비자에게 소구 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 소비자의 가치체계 준거의 틀로서의 자아이미지는 스스로에 대한 주관적이고 객관적인 지각이며 소비자와 관련하여 의식적 혹은 무의식적으로 또는 적극적 소극적으로 자아이미지를 유지 고양하기 위해 노력하는데 이는 소비자의 구매의사 결정 과정에서 자아이미지가 영향을 미친다는 것을 의미한다.
