Purpose - We perform an empirical analysis of the effects of global consumer culture positioning (GCCP) in TV advertisements on consumer's brand evaluations (perceived quality, perceived price, and brand prestige) and attitude toward brand. Also, we analyze the moderating roles of consumer characteristics (ethnocentrism and level of product knowledge) in those effects. Design/methodology - This research is based on a survey of 210 randomly-selected university students in Seoul, Korea. The participants in the survey were shown a total of 8 TV advertisements of consumer goods of nondurable goods (fast food and carbonated drinks), and durable goods (sports shoes and digital camera), which included two advertisements for each product where one uses GCCP strategy while another uses LCCP strategy. We estimate the structural model using the AMOS 18.0 computer program. Findings - We find that GCCP has more positive effects on consumers' brand evaluations and attitude toward brand than LCCP in TV advertising. We also find that GCCP has stronger effects on brand evaluation and attitude toward brand in consumers with weak ethnocentrism and in those with a low level of product knowledge. Practical implications - Using GCCP in an advertisement is an effective way of improving consumer's evaluation of the brand and attitude toward the brand mainly when cosmopolitan consumers and consumers with low knowledge levels are segmented as targets. Originality/value - The study contributes to identify how and for what consumer groups' global brand positioning strategies in TV advertisements affect consumers' brand evaluations and their attitudes toward brands.

다양한 업계에서 한 번에 여러 가지 기능을 수행하는 '다목적' 제품을 출시하는 브랜드들이 늘고 있다. 그러나 소비자들이 다목적 제품과 이를 제공하는 브랜드에 대한 인식 관련 연구는 아직 많이 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 소비자들이 미(美) 에 대해 갖고 있는 암묵적 이론이 다목적 제품 관련 지식과 브랜드 지식에 미치는 영향을 연구한다. 외모 지향성이 높은 소비자들 사이에서, 미(美)에 대한 증가(vs. 실체) 이론(즉, 본인의 아름다움은 타고난 것이 아닌, 노력에 의해 변화시킬 수 있는 것이라는 믿음)이 강할 수록 다목적 제품에 대한 선호도가 감소한다는 것을 발견하였다. 또한, 이는 전반적인 브랜드 평가에도 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는 제품/브랜드 관련 지식경영에 있어, 소비자들의 암묵적 이론과 그에 따른 선호도를 고려해야 한다는 것을 시사한다.

The purpose of this research was to develop a typology of fair-trade apparel consumers and present a clear overview of the influence of product knowledge on consumer behaviors. A two-step cluster analysis was used to classify respondents into sub-groups based on their level of self-perceived knowledge and purchase experience. In addition, ANOVA was used to test the predictive validity of the cluster solution. Income was the only demographic variable that significantly differed across groups. The more familiar and more experienced group had higher income than the other groups. Psychographic data showed that attitudes and moral norms varied across groups. The more familiar and more experienced group had more positive attitudes and higher level of moral norms than the less familiar and less experienced group. In terms of behavioristic data, groups differed significantly in purchase intentions and willingness to pay more for fair-trade apparel. That is, the more familiar and more experienced group was willing to pay more and had higher purchase intentions than the less familiar and less experienced group. Overall, the level of product knowledge and purchase experience were considerably low. This study thus confirmed the need to increase consumers' familiarity related to fair-trade apparel products.

Both industrial interest and academic research are increasingly focusing on the need to institute a business environment whereby Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) assumes a major role. It is suggested that four kinds of responsibilities constitute total CSR: economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities. Consumers tend to obtain positive perceptions toward the companies which collectively or partially fulfill these responsibilities. Moreover, the company image transfer process is the influence of consumer attitudes toward certain brands on overall evaluation of the company. To understand the image transfer process, we examine the influence of CSR level evaluation on overall brand evaluation in China, where active competitions among global brands exist.

디지털기술의 발달로 소비자들은 어느 때보다 상품에 관한 해박한 사전지식을 보유하게 되었다. 뮤지컬과 같은 서비스재는 무형성, 비분리성, 이질성 등으로 인해 사전지식 추구 경향이 더욱 강하게 나타난다. 공연예술 분야의 선행연구들은 관람객의 사전지식이 관람만족과 구전의향에 긍정적인 영향을 준다는 사실을 밝혔으나 최근에는 사전지식이 많은 경우 오히려 상품평가에 부정적 영향을 미친다는 주장도 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 뮤지컬사전지식이 어떤 조건에서 관람만족과 구전의향을 높이는지 확인하고자 했다. 이를 위해서, 뮤지컬사전지식이 관람만족을 매개로 구전의향을 높이는 매개모형을 설정하였다. 그리고 이 매개경로를 조절하는 변수로서 트랜스포테이션을 도입하여 트랜스포테이션 수준에 따라 관람만족과 구전의향이 변화하는지를 검증하였다. 스토리로의 몰입과 동일시를 설명하는 개념인 트랜스포테이션을 도입한 이유는 뮤지컬 구성요소로서 스토리의 중요성이 크다는 선행연구결과를 반영한 것이다. 조절된 매개분석 결과, 뮤지컬사전지식이 관람만족을 통해 구전의향에 영향을 주는 매개경로는 트랜스포테이션에 의해 조절됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 사전지식으로 무장한 관람객들을 만족시키기 위해서는 질 높은 뮤지컬스토리가 중요하다는 사실을 최초로 실증하였다는 점에 본 연구의 의의가 있다.
