Purpose - Increasing sales of PB rice products can hinder the growth of domestic brands of rice, notwithstanding that the government is promoting domestic brands of rice. This analysis evaluated the influencing relationship among the variables of PB image, product credibility, and purchase intention of consumers who have never bought PB rice, to know the factors influencing consumers' decisions to purchase PB products. Research design, data, and methodology - PB products' brand image was analyzed as the factor that has a direct effect on purchase intention. The mediation effect of credibility on PB products is also analyzed, in terms of influencing the relationship between PB products' brand image and purchase intention. The analysis is performed on consumers that have not purchased a PB product and consumers who have purchased PB products from major distributors. Data is collected through questionnaires, from 389 of responders, and the AMOS 19.0 statistics package is used as a statistical tool. Results - It is proven that brand image has direct effects on the credibility of the product, and the credibility of product has a direct effect on purchase intention. However, it is revealed that brand image does not directly affect purchase intention, but that brand image indirectly affects it through the credibility of the product. Although the customers' recognition about PB image is low, the result shows that PB products' external attributes have effects on customers' purchase intention relating to the PB product. Therefore, it is important to establish the credibility of the PB product more than other products in terms of marketing. Conclusions - The following are the implications of the study. First, in a rice brand promotion, the credibility of the product should be ensured by a uniform brand image. To ensure the credibility of a product, the RPC brand and other brands should be unified, and the unified brand image should be applied to every product. Second, the package must possess a design as well as contents that could build consumers' perception of product credibility. Products' external attributes contribute to their credibility, which leads the consumers to purchase the products, including those consumers who have never bought PB rice products. Therefore, the products' credibility and sales can be reinforced by applying information about consumers' considerations when buying the PB rice product in different colors, font sizes, and packaging designs. This study is meaningful in two ways. First, it seeks to identify an NB revitalization strategy by exploring the purchasing behavior of customers who have no experience in buying PB rice products. Second, the results of previous studies about general brands are considered and applied in this study in order to investigate the influencing relationship among different factors of PB products. However, this study is a consumer awareness investigation; therefore, its results only have limited meaning to the relationship between brand image and purchase intention.

This paper provides some of the managerial implications with aim of assisting executives in identifying strategic repositioning opportunities. Primarily, the 'Korando Sports' case affirms the repositioning as a viable strategy and indicates that repositioning is a feasible means for strategic change. Second, this case shows the influence of a target consumer and SYMC's repositioning to follow consumer preference for a particular attribute.

본 연구는 브랜드자산 구성요소에 대한 기존 문헌의 고찰을 통해 그동안 그 중요성에도 불구하고 산업재 시장에서는 거의 다루어지지 않고 있는 브랜드 자산형성 요인의 일반적 구성모델을 제시하고 있다. 구조방정식모델을 통해 브랜드 태도형성 요인인 브랜드 인지/연상, 브랜드 지각가치, 서비스 품질과 브랜드 행동형성 요인인 브랜드 전환비용, 브랜드 관계만족, 브랜드 커뮤니티가 브랜드 충성도 및 관계몰입과 기업성과 및 구매자가치에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 기업성과 및 구매가치에 영향을 미치는 8가지의 브랜드 자산요인들에 초점을 두고 있다. 실증분석은 산업재 구매자를 대상으로 설문조사하였는데 구조방정식에 의한 모델분석 결과, 브랜드에 대한 태도를 형성하는 요인인 브랜드 인지/연상, 브랜드 지각가치, 서비스 품질은 브랜드 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 브랜드에 대한 행동을 형성하는 요인인 브랜드 전환비용, 브랜드 관계만족 또한 브랜드 충성도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 각 영향요인들의 브랜드 충성도에 영향력을 파악해 보았을 때 주요 영향요인들은 브랜드에 대한 태도를 형성하는 요인들 보다는 브랜드에 대한 행동을 형성하는 요인들인 것으로 나타났다. 이와 더불어 브랜드 충성도가 클수록 공급자-조직구매자 간의 관계몰입과 기업성과 및 구매가치가 더 높은 것으로 나타났으며 관계몰입은 브랜드 충성도와 구매가치, 기업성과에 중요한 매개적인 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다.
