This study examined the relationship between country-of-brand-origin perception and brand equity elements among Korean and Chinese male consumers. It also examined if there were differences between the two national consumers in the effect of country-of-brand-origin on brand evaluation. We analyzed survey responses from 414 Korean men and 393 Chinese men in their 20s-30s. Country-of-brand-origin perception was found positively related to brand awareness and brand image for both Korean and Chinese men in each group that selected domestic or foreign country-of-brand-origin. The results revealed a positive relationship between brand attitude and brand awareness as well as brand image for the two national consumers in each country-of-brand-origin selection group. The results indicated differences in the influence of brand image on brand attitude between these two male consumers in the group that selected the domestic country-of-brand-origin. The results also support the hypothesis on differences in the effect of country-of-brand-origin as well as brand evaluation between male consumers in the group that selected foreign country-of-brand-origin. This study has significant implications for fashion marketers, particularly when building brand equity by revealing country-of-brand-origin.

The purpose of this study was to investigate consumer awareness and demand related to country-of-origin labeling at restaurants, and to provide basic data to reexamine the need for current policies and to determine problems. The study found that 70% of the respondents thought that the implemented representation policy had improved food quality, and 81.3% of the respondents checked country-of-origin labeling at restaurants. In addition, 74.7% of the respondents answered that "reward for accusation" was appropriate policy. Regarding the degree of recognition of the meat importers, the respondents were well aware of the importing countries, but did not recognize the importing country of chicken. In terms of preference for meat importers, Australian beef was rated highest, but beef from the U.S. was ranked seventh. However, in preferences for pork and chicken, U.S. products were rated highest. According to the survey, in a question regarding the perception toward country-of-origin labeling, the respondents recognized that rice, beef, pork, and chicken were the targeted items. In addition, the respondents suggested that other food ingredients at restaurants should be designated as target items for country-of-origin labeling.

Purpose - Brand equity has emerged as an indispensable marketing tool for firms engaging their business in developing nations. This study proposes that the country of origin image and advertising will affect the Korean brand equity formation, which leads to repurchase intention of Korean brands. In the study, attitude factors are applied in brand equity theory to predict repurchase intention of Korean brands. Cognitive brand equity, such as brand awareness, brand association, brand image and attitudinal brand equity, such as perceived quality and brand loyalty are considered with regards to their attitude towards the Korean brand. Design/methodology - A total of 178 Myanmar consumers out of 200 participants who have used Korean brands answered the survey and data were analyzed through SmartPLS 3.3.2 version. PLS-SEM is considered a more suitable analysis to pin down and evaluate the cause-effect relationship among all of the constructs with relatively complex models. Findings - Our results substantiate that the country of origin image positively affects brand awareness, brand associations, and brand image and advertising awareness positively affects brand awareness. Brand awareness gives positive effect only on brand association, which sustains a positive effect on brand image and brand loyalty. Brand image only has a positive effect on perceived quality, which again affects repurchase intention and brand loyalty. Brand loyalty also shows a positive effect on repurchase intention. Originality/value - Brand equity dimensions were viewed as cognitive and attitudinal outcomes of brand equity which affects repurchase intention. The drivers of brand equity were considered from the perspective of country of origin image that firms cannot control or mange, and advertising awareness which firms can control and manage. The findings also explored the relationships between cognitive and attitudinal brand equity.

This research empirically analyzed whether the foods which came from a non-Muslim majority country, such as South Korea, could play an important role in affecting the consumer intention in a predominantly Muslim country. Online survey methods were used to investigate the proposed hypothesis. 318 responses were used for further analysis. Forty-six reflective constructs were adapted from literature and designed by using a five-point Likert scale to facilitate measurement. Estimation models and structural models were examined through SEM-PLS analysis techniques using SmartPLS 3.0 application as the data processing tool. The results showed that religiosity and halal awareness had a positive and significant effect on attitude toward halal labels, including the mediating effect from consumer attitudes towards halal labels which had a positive but insignificant effect on purchase intention. Halal awareness plays an important role for Muslims in the decision-making process for purchasing food. In contrast to the initial hypothesis, the country of origin actually did not have a positive effect on attitudes towards the halal label. In a Muslim-majority country like Indonesia, findings halal food is not difficult, so this research basically is a reminder to marketers to follow those halal principles in implementing their marketing strategies.

Globalization of market has put considerable research activities in cosmopolitism and nationalism. In addition, consumer's perception of product's country of origin is widely regarded as an important influence on their shopping behavior. The objective of this paper is to investigate the joint effect of cosmopolitanism and nationalism on shopping orientation and awareness of the country of origin of fashion products among Korean young consumers. Data from 471 young Korean consumers were analyzed. According to the cosmopolitanism/nationalism measure, respondents were segmented into three groups: global, local and glocal group. Results indicated that global and glocal consumers value symbolic and non-conforming aspects of fashion product shopping and were more interested in country of origin of products than local consumers. Global consumers showed higher level of foreign product preference than local and glocal consumers. Some managerial implication for marketing practitioners was suggested.

우리나라에서는 1991년부터 소비자 보호를 위하여 원산지를 표시하도록 하고 있다. 하지만 원산지규정 및 표시제도는 대외무역법, 관세법 등 다양한 제도들에 의하여 효율적인 시행이 어려운 실정이며, 이로 인하여 원산지표시 이해관계자들은 시스템 이해 및 운영에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 원산지표시제도 이해관계자 중 표시의무자와 소비자를 대상으로 시스템에 대한 인식 및 실태 분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과 당사자들은 시스템에 대한 이해 및 인식이 미흡한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 이러한 낮은 인식은 원산지표시 위반이라는 결과로 연결이 되고 있기에 이를 개선하기 위한 방안 수립이 시급한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 음식점 원산지표시제에 대한 소비자 인식과 외식행태, 그리고 지식수준과 그에 따른 확장된 계획행동이론의 변수들과 유의한 차이가 있는지 분석해보았다. 조사대상자의 외식행태와 음식점 원산지표시제 관련 일반사항에 대한 문항에 대해 조사한 결과 조사대상자의 주당 외식횟수는 7회 이상, 외식 시 1회당 비용은 1~2만원 미만이 가장 많았다. 조사대상자들은 원산지를 가장 중요시하는 식품으로 어패류이고, 육류, 가공식품 순이었다. 또한 식품 선택 시 가장 중요하게 여기는 사항에서는 원산지표시가 가장 높았으며, 위생, 품질, 영양표시 등의 순으로 나타났다. 원산지표시제를 보고 메뉴를 선택 할 의향이 있는지를 묻는 문항에서는 대다수의 소비자들이 원산지표시제를 보고 메뉴를 선택할 의향이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 음식점 원산지표시제 관련 지식수준을 측정한 결과 전체 평균점수는 6.3/10점이었다. 가장 정답률이 낮았던 항목은 '죽, 식혜, 떡, 면 등도 원산지표시를 해야 한다'이고, 전반적으로 소비자들은 대체적으로 현재 시행되고 있는 외식업체 원산지표시제에 대한 일반적인 사항들에 대한 지식수준은 높았으나 세부적으로 물어보는 문항에서는 낮은 정답률을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 음식점 원산지표시제의 지식수준 (하위집단, 상위집단)에 따른 일반적 사항과 외식행태에서는 일반사항과는 최종학력과 직업에서 분포에 유의한 차이가 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 향후 연구에서는 원산지 표시를 위한 홍보 및 보다 구체적인 사례를 포함한 가이드라인의 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 이러한 결과들을 토대로 소비자들의 인식 변화에 대한 후속 연구도 같이 수행되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. 많은 후속연구의 결과들이 이루어진다면 보다 식품 안보나 식품 안전성 정책 방향 개선에도 큰 도움이 될 것이기 때문이다. 추후 연구에서 이러한 결과가 반영되기를 기대해 본다.
