본 연구는 중국 자국 브랜드를 포함하여 중국에 진출한 브랜드의 국가이미지 및 기업이미지를 브랜드의 지각된 품질 그리고 나아가 브랜드이미지 및 자산에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소로 제시하여 그 역할을 검증하였는데 본 연구의 시사점은 다음과 같이 몇 가지로 정리될 수 있다. 첫째, 국가이미지는 지각된 품질에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소로 광고 등의 다른 촉진요인과 더불어 영향요인으로 충분히 작용할 수 있다. 전체적으로 국가마케팅 차원에서 정부는 앞으로 중국국민들에게 상당부분의 좋은 국가이미지를 심어주기 위한 홍보나 광고 활동들을 체계적으로 추구해 나갈 필요가 있다. 둘째, 본 연구에서 기업이미지 중에서 특히 기업의 제조능력을 중심으로 해당 브랜드에 대한 지각된 품질과 브랜드이미지에의 영향요인을 검증하였다. 결국, 기업이미지는 소비자들의 브랜드에 대한 지각된품질을 높이는 중요한 요소로 작용하는 것으로 나타났기에 중국에서 한국기업들의 기업이미지 중심전략은 상당한 효과를 볼 수 있다고 생각된다. 결과적으로 본 연구는 브랜드자산 형성에 있어서 국가이미지, 기업이미지 등의 변수가 브랜드의 지각된 품질을 높이고 브랜드이미지를 향상시켜 브랜드의 충성도를 고양할 수 있게 되고 결국 브랜드자산이 높아지는 메커니즘을 설명하고 있다고 볼 수 있다.
