아프리카는 석유가스를 비롯한 각종 광물자원의 보고로서 자원의 확보는 물론 향후 신흥시장 선점, 외교적 영향력 확대라는 측면에서 다방면에서의 진출이 필요하다. 아프리카의 전략적 가치를 고려할 때 아프리카 시장은 무한한 잠재력을 가진 지역이며, 자원이 빈곤한 우리나라로서는 적절한 시장진입 전략 선택과 성과에 대한 올바른 평가가 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 논문은 한국기업의 수출환경특성-아프리카 진출전략-기업성과 간의 인과관계분석을 통해 아프리카 진출 성과를 분석하고자 하였다. 분석 결과, 해외시장진입 전략 요인 중 해외시장진입시기, 기업의 경쟁전략, 마케팅 전략은 기업성과에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 아프리카 시장에서 기업이 성과를 향상시키기 위해서는 아프리카 시장 특성에 맞는 집중화 및 세분화 전략, 마케팅 전략이 필요하다.

세계의 많은 기업들이 세계 시장을 목표로 다국적 경영 활동을 전개함에 따라 외식기업도 해외 시장 진출에 박차를 가하고 있다. 그러나 많은 외식기업들이 시장 조사 및 진입 전략, 마케팅, 현지화 등 경영 전략을 장악하지 못하므로 인해 실패를 거듭하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 해외 진출할 때 고려되는 여려 가지 요인을 종합하여 국내 외식기업의 해외 진출을 설명할 수 있는 모형을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 통해 제조업을 중심으로 검증되어 왔던 해외 시장 진입 방식 선택에 관한 이론적 모형이 외식기업의 해외 진출을 설명할 수 있는 일반적 모형이 될 수 있는가를 검증하고, 외식기업의 해외 시장 진입 방식에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하고자 한다. 본 연구의 대상은 직접 투자로 해외 시장에 진출하였으며, 2008년 7월 현재 한국에 본사가 있고 해외 시장에 진출한지 2년 이상된 외식기업으로 한정하였다. 실증 분석을 위한 설문지는 자기기입식 설문 조사를 이용하였다. 실증 분석은 SPSS win 15.0을 활용하여 기술 통계분석, 타당성분석, 신뢰성분석, 카이 제곱분석, 분산분석, 상관분석, 이분형 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 국내 외식기업의 해외 시장에서의 진입방식 결정 모형의 설명력은 85.0%로 나타났다. 외식기업 특성 요인은 기업 규모가 작을수록, 제품 차별화 정도가 높을수록, 최고경영자의 의지가 높을수록 해외 시장에 단독 진입 방식을 선택할 가능성이 높은 것으로 파악되었다. 셋째, 현지 시장 환경 요인의 경우 수요 불확실 정도가 낮을수록, 무역 장벽이 낮을수록, 사회 문화적 거리가 가까울수록 해외 시장에 단독 진입 방식 선택할 가능성이 높은 것으로 파악되었다.

An extensive body of research on the effects of country-of-origin has emerged in the international marketing and business literature streams. Nonetheless, extant studies do not satisfactorily demonstrate whether and how a foreign firm's choice of market entry mode influences consumers' purchase intentions of its product in country-related affect contexts. Using a survey and an experimental design, we aimed to provide evidence of the effects of the choice on consumers' evaluation and attitude of its product in an animosity context and in a national image context. Through the survey, we collected data regarding consumer animosity, national image, product evaluation, and product attitude from 185 university students and tested the hypotheses that consumer animosity and national image have effects on foreign product evaluation and attitude. The results of the survey research show that personal animosity has a negative effect on consumers' evaluation of foreign products and that a country's image regarding economics has positive effects on consumers' attitude toward foreign products as well as consumers' evaluation of foreign products. In the experimental design, we divided subjects into four groups and exposed them to several descriptions of hypothetical purchase situations. Conducting a 2 (market entry modes)${\times}2$ (country-of-origin) ANOVA, we tested the hypothesis that a market entry mode influences foreign product evaluation and attitude. The results of the experimental study reveal that in a high country-related product association (Germany), market entry modes have insignificant effects on foreign product evaluation and attitude. In addition, in a low country-related product association (China), international partnership has more positive effects on foreign product evaluation and attitude than does exporting.
