Because consumers tend to have negative opinion about a company that neglects social issues like poverty or pollution while it focuses on its own profit, a lot of companies have invested their resources in Corporate Social Responsibility(CSR). CSR has merits of image improving and profit gaining, on the other hand, it has also many shortcomings. First, the cost of CSR may become a heavy financial burden. Specifically, CSR tends to be implemented by a company's unilateral backup, and then this may impose a heavy burden on the company. Second, one cannot expect effects of CSR in a short-term. Because of these shortcomings, the unilateral CSR has gone into alteration of the type of CSR since 1980's. Instead of unilaterality, Cause-Related Marketing(CRM) began to be used for mutual profits among company, consumers, and society. That is, CRM has become to be spotlighted as a new type of CSR. It focuses on partnership between a company and consumers based on cause and mutual profit pursuing through this partnership. So, many contemporary companies prefer CRM activities that derive their positive corporate image, that increase their sales, and that reduce their financial cost. The IBM Matching Grants Program, which is the largest of the IBM-Employee partnership programs, is a typical CRM. This program enables employees and retirees to increase the value of their donations to educational institutions, hospitals, hospices, nursing homes, and cultural & environmental organizations with a matching gift from IBM. Hundreds of educational institutions and thousands of nonprofit organizations have benefited from the contributions by IBM. There might be various types of matching grants. For example, an employee might choose a lump-sum expense or partitioning a lump-sum into a series of small ongoing expenses for his (or her) donation, and a firm might match the employee's total contribution with a lump-sum expense or might match the employee's total contribution with a series of small ongoing expenses. However, it is not easy to find an academic research on which type of matching grant is preferred by employees. This paper shows that an employee prefers the type of matching grants that consists of a lump-sum expense for his (or her) contribution and a series of small ongoing expenses for a firm's contribution [or the type of matching grants that consists of a series of small ongoing expenses for an employee's contribution and a lump-sum expense for a firm's contribution] to the other types of matching grants.

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

In order for the corporation to get a good image from the customers it should consider several variables, but especially important are corproate ethics and customer satisfaction through quality improvement. Standard multivariate data analysis can be applied to find out the importance of customer satisfaction and corporate ethics as influence factors in the corporate competitive strategy. When applying this Methodology, multivariate normal distributions density function and the identical covariance between groups assumptions have to be satisfied. By using the evaluation result from a small number of specialists in an attempt to decide on the strategical factors that will create a better company image than its competitor, if it chooses to use statistical discriminant analysis method, it would be difficult to satisfy the two assumptions mentioned above. This thesis introduces discriminant analysis method that uses LP/GP effectively which is applicable to this particular situation.

As the 4th industry has been widely distributed, there is a need for a process of real-time image recognition in various fields such as identification of company employees, security maintenance, and development of military weapons. Therefore, in this paper, we will propose an algorithm that effectively recognizes a test object by comparing it with the DB model. The proposed object recognition system first expresses the outline of the test object as a set of vertices with the distances of predefined length or more. Then, the degree of matching of the structures of the two objects is calculated by examining the distances to the outline of the DB model from the vertices constituting the test object. Because the proposed recognition algorithm uses the outline of the object, the recognition process is easy to understand, simple to implement, and a satisfactory recognition result is obtained.

제품에 대한 이미지 표현은 그것의 시각형상(visual image) 구조가 파악되어야 보다 객관적으로 기술할 수 있다. 시각 표현이라는 주관적 문제도 분석을 하지 않고서는 답변될 수 없고, 다루고자 하는 제품의 시각형상 전모가 밝혀져야 그 속에 담긴 디자이너의 사상적 배경도 추론해 낼 수 있는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 실내 주방용품 중에서 필립 스탁(Philippe Starck)이 디자인한 '레몬즙 짜개(Lemon Juice Squeezer)'를 대상으로 시각적 표현이 가지는 구조를 분석한 후, 그 제품의 특정 이미지가 어떻게 구성되어 있는지 기술한 것이다. 제품에 담긴 표현이 분석된다는 것은 제품의 구성성분을 밝혀 디자이너와 사용자간에 상호 이해의 폭을 증진시킬 수 있음을 의미한다. 연구방법으로는 햄비치(Hambidge, J) 교수의 'The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry'를 응용한 수리적 모델을 도입하여 레몬즙 짜개 이미지의 부분 내지 전체를 포괄하는 계열체(Paradigm) 분석을 시도하고, 제품공간 내에서 설정되는 범위를 정의해 주는 결합체(Syntagma) 분석을 행한 후, 이를 표기하는 기술은 김복영 교수 의 시각 기호 기술법을 따랐다. 결론적으로 본 연구는 향후 공간과 소품과의 관계, 제품과 사용자와의 관계, 오브제 자체의 조형 비평 내지는 분석이 감성적으로 흐를 수 있는 소지를 경계하는 차원에서, 그 대안으로 제품에 대한 시각형상의 구조와 성분분석을 수리적 모델을 통해 밝히고, 형식과 내용의 관계를 객관적으로 확인할 수 있는 분석예술학 방법을 제시하였다.
