To infer the true state of a regional product's attributes, consumers use the image they have of the product's region of origin; however, products may have multiple countries of origin in their design, branding, sourcing and manufacturing becuase more products are increasingly a result of multi-firm and multi-country efforts. We examined how the country-of-origin image (country image and product image) affect international consumers' perceived value (function value and symbolic value) and purchase intentions of made-in China goods by extending and deepening the flexible model. Second, to investigate the differences of COO effects according to different types of country-of-origin we divided the traditional country-of-origin into two components: country-of-manufacture (COM) and country-of-brand (COB). We then explore how the impact of China's country image on consumers' perceived value and purchase intentions varies when China is the COM or COB of the same product. Six hypotheses were proposed to test our anticipations. We recruited 800 Korean adult consumers who previously purchased made-in China products to participate in the online investigation. Data analyses were conducted with confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling using SPSS and AMOS. The main results are discussed as follows. First, the effects of China's COO image on Korean consumers' perceived value and purchase intentions vary when China is the COM or COB of a product. Second, a positive effect of the function value and symbolic value on the purchase intentions was found. Literature and practical implications of findings are discussed and suggested in the conclusion.

한국의 대 베트남 교역 확대도 한국의 투자 증가에 기인하며 특히 한국으로부터 수입은 대부분 중간재로서 베트남의 수출과 고용에 크게 기여하고 있다. 최근 양국 정상은 2015년까지 교역액 200억 달러를 달성하기 위해 노력하기로 합의하기도 하였다(kotra.or.kr). 이처럼 한국과 베트남의 투자 및 교역의 증가는 계속되고 있는 상황에서 베트남에서 생산되는 제품이 한국 국내 시장에 계속 증가하여 베트남 제품에 대한 한국 소비자들의 인식 또한 점차 개선되고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 한국 소비자가 베트남 제품을 구매할 때, 베트남에 대한 국가 이미지 또는 베트남 제품에 대한 이미지가 베트남 제품을 구매할 때 어떠한 영향을 미칠 것인가에 대해 실증적으로 연구하고자 한다. 분석결과 베트남 정치적 이미지에 따른 베트남산 원산지 효과는 부정적으로 나타났다. 이는 베트남이 개방을 하였다하더라고 공산주의 체제를 유지하고 있기 때문이기도 하다. 그리고 또한 사회적 이미지가 원산지 효과에 미치는 영향도 부정적 효과를 가지고 있다. 그러나 문화적 이미지, 경제적 이미지, 국제적 이미지에 따른 베트남 원산지 효과는 유의하게 나타났다. 그리고 이와 같은 원산지 효과가 베트남 제품의 재구매 의도에도 유의하게 나타났음을 알 수 있다.

본 연구는 한국 대학생들을 대상으로 중국산 의류제품에 대한 중국 국가이미, 제품이미지 및 구매의도의 관계를 고찰하는데 주된 목적을 두었다. 분석 결과 중국 국가이미지 중 경제적 이미지, 문화적 이미지가 제품이미지에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고, 제품이미지는 구매의도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구 결과에 따르면 국가이미지를 중심으로 제품의 이미지에 초점을 맞추어 촉진활동을 하면 소비자의 구매행동유도에 효과적인 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 중국산 의류제품의 발전을 도모하기 위해서는 먼저 중국 국가차원의 국가이미지를 제고해야 하며, 그 결과로 제품이미지 및 구매의도를 향상시킬 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

This study examined the effects of the cognitive and affective country image of Korea on product evaluation and purchase intention for Korean products. The research model was developed from relevant literature based on the halo effect model and data was collected using a self-administered online survey of 772 Southeast Asian consumers from Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The major findings are as follows. First, analysis of variance revealed that Vietnam consumers have a significantly positive perception compared to Indonesia and Malaysia, regarding the affective country image and purchase intention towards Korean products. Second, results from structural equation model showed that the affective country image has significantly positive effects on product evaluation and purchase intention, which means the affective country image is directly and indirectly connected to purchase intention towards Korean products. However, cognitive country image only has an indirect effect on purchase intention. Third, the results of comparing path coefficient among three countries showed that the direct effect is more effective for consumers in Indonesia and Malaysia, whereas indirect effect has a stronger effect on consumers in Vietnam. Academically, this study contributes to an expansion of understanding the effects of country image by empirically proving the different roles of cognitive and affective dimensions for country image. This study provides practical implications for developing marketing communication strategies for businesses that hope to penetrate Southeast Asian countries.

This study is focused on the medical services market in china which would be the largest one in the world sooner or later. An empirical research has been performed on the country images and related buying attitudes of the Chinese potential consumers for foreign medical services of more higher level. Upon the basis of this research results, the components of a country image has been restructured and the country image effects on the process of a purchasing decision of the advanced foreign medical services in China has been investigated and analyzed. This research shows that the forming process and the dimensions of a country image in Chinese consumers are rather simplified than the former researches of the same kind in any other countries. In China the expectation and buying intension for foreign medical services is found to be affected directly by a country image. Furthermore among various components of a country image the expected service quality level of the Chinese is found to be mostly dependent on the social stability and safety rather than on the degree of economic developments. Recently breaking through the domestic medical market crisis, more and more hospitals consider to advance into Chinese medical market. This research shows that the reexamination and political concerns on the country image of Korea are needed in the level of government's public relations. Especially the proactive policy making and propaganda of political, social and economic stability and safety in Korea are thought to be more important for successful entry in Chinese medical services market.

소셜네트워크 시대가 도래하였다. 소셜미디어는 자신의 생각이나 의견, 경험 등을 서로 공유하고 참여하기 위해 개방된 미디어를 뜻한다. 이러한 소셜미디어는 기존의 미디어를 대체할만큼 위협적이며, 새로운 소통도구로서도 각광을 받고 있다. 글로벌 시대에서는 국가이미지가 국가의 새로운 경쟁력의 원천으로 인식되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소셜미디어의 활용수준이 국가이미지에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하고자 하며, 소셜미디어의 활용수준을 활용량과 활용범위로 나누어서 분석을 하였다. 또한 국가이미지를 구성하는 요소들이 구매의도에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 분석을 하였다. 분석결과, 활용량은 국가이미지, 국민이미지, 정치이미지에 영향을 미치고 활용범위는 경제이미지, 국민이미지, 정치이미지에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
