This study was conducted to investigate and analyze food related and space related elements of popular Vietnamese restaurants in Hong Kong to identify restaurant images related to food, to examine how Vietnamese traditions are applied to such restaurants, and ultimately, to get their implications for us. Luxury Vietnamese restaurants in Hong Kong tended to be located in major office buildings and famous shopping malls in the downtown area; therefore, they were highly accessible to foreigners. In addition, most Vietnamese restaurants were quite formal in size or atmosphere. The food-related elements of the luxury restaurants reproduced traditional menus, but the table setting and service generally adopted a formal Western style setting. The presentation of foods was also creative and contemporary, to suit international customers' tastes. Regarding the spatial elements, restaurants serving traditional menus had interiors influenced by the French colonial period, while those serving contemporarily adapted menus had interiors with simple contemporary images emphasized by Vietnamese traditional decorations. These characteristics allowed foreigners from diverse countries to access the restaurants without a sense of rejection. Casual restaurants were primarily exposed to many people on busy roadsides, but they tended to be inferior in terms of size and quality. Apart from size and price level, food-related elements failed to reflect Vietnamese unique traditional characteristics. The outward appearance consisted of basic construction materials (glass, chassis, and bamboo) instead of those representing Vietnamese architecture. Additionally, the interior of the casual restaurants contained traditional elements or objects more frequently than luxury restaurants, but they looked rather disorderly and lacked harmony. Overall, the image of casual restaurants was degraded by the use of cheap and low quality finishing materials and furniture. The results of this study may be useful for organizations promoting the Branding of Korea or businesspeople and designers promoting the globalization of Korean foods.

Purpose - This study is to investigate the effects of consumption motives of restaurant customers on the perception of the importance of restaurant attributes, and to determine the influence of the consumption motives on the empirical and functional attributes between Vietnam and Korea. Research design, data, and methodology - Questionnaire items from previous studies were revised to fit the research purpose of the present study. From August 1 to August 25, 2017, questionnaires were simultaneously administered in Korea and Vietnam using both on-line and off-line survey methods (including SNS and e-mail). With 381 surveyed questionnaires in Vietnam(219) and Korea(162), this study was conducted by using SPSS 22.0 to verify the reliability and validity of the measured variables. Structural equation model (SEM) was employed as a statistical method for the hypotheses test of this study. Results - The results showed that hedonic eating-out motive has more influence on the importance of empirical attribute than that of functional attribute in restaurant. In addition, utilitarian eating-out motive has more influence on functional attributes than empirical attributes. However, these relationships showed the difference between countries in Vietnam and Korea. As for in Korea, consumers' hedonic and utilitarian motives of eating-out were more influential on experimental and functional attributes. Conclusions - This study analyzed the influence on the importance of the eating-out motives of restaurant attributes and how this differed between Vietnamese and Korean.

The purpose of this study was to investigate that to see how their traditional characteristics were reflected and expressed in Hanoi vietnamese contemporary public restaurants. For this, We visited Hanoi twice to have onsite research in August 2012 and 2013. According to the results of surveying Vietnamese public restaurants, all of the 12 cases had humane characteristics reflecting Vietnam traditional culture, showing Vietnamese unique traditional characteristics including intangible elements such as natural environment, life culture elements such as food culture, and formative aesthetic elements using indigenous ornaments. Different from luxury restaurants that had trade names on the theme of historical stories related to people or places and expressed various concepts formatively using photographs of Vietnamese politics and history and ornamental elements such as tableware, however, the public restaurants were simple in theme or concept. It is probably because most of the surveyed cases were situated in the old quarter to the north of the Hoan Kiem Lake and in the area to the west of the lake and their target customers were local people, so they reflected the Vietnamese traditional residence style and common people's life rather than designing the restaurants intentionally with specific concepts. As to the spatial expression characteristics of the surveyed cases, casual restaurants in Hanoi expressed only basic structure using basic construction materials and techniques with outdoor spaces in the form of Vietnam traditional tube house, and therefore, the overall atmosphere was contemporary. In indoor spaces as well, the general level was low, using uncharacteristic common design and color and cheap finishing materials and furniture. 83% of all cases showed the pattern of VM-VM-VT, being mainly contemporary by partially adopting Vietnamese unique ornamental elements for their outdoor and indoor spaces and using traditional elements supplementarily.

In this study, we compared the differences and similarities between the Korean food culture and the Vietnamese food culture by surveying food resources and researching the process of Korean food being accepted into Vietnam. We suggest countermeasures for advancing Korean food into Vietnam. We conducted in-depth interviews regarding Korean food with Vietnamese food specialists who ate Korean food. As a result, Vietnamese foodies eagerly recognized that the most representative thing about Korean food was the special properties of its various and affluent side dishes. They were also aware of kimchi, made of various vegetables and condiments, as an excellent side dish compared to the Vietnamese who's staple is boiled rice. Furthermore, the flavor of Korean food was preferred by the Vietnamese who were familiar with foods such as Neue-ok-mom or fermented seafood. It was thought that the new food could be eaten with many vegetables. The specialists replied that the most typical functional property of Korean food was health. The acceptance process of Korean food into Vietnam was based on the acculturation theory. That made the Vietnamese easily experienced strange culture in the case of propagation by whom have already experienced, through the selective filter steps by various images of Korea, and made them accept the Korean food through temporary choose and acceptance step such as recommendations by friends. Globalization strategies for Korean food proposed by the Vietnamese foodies were public relations marketing in voluntary contact environments, distinguishing traditional Korean foods through research and development, and globalization by diversifying the Korean restaurant concept.

This paper examines whether lending structure can lower credit risk by employing econometric techniques of panel data for the Vietnamese banking system at the bank level used by economic sectors from 2011 to 2016. New light is being shed on assessing the impact of each industry's debt outstanding on credit risk. Adopting findings from previous studies, we assess credit risk from two different sources, including loan loss provision and non-performing loan. Moreover, we also focus on observing lending structure in many different aspects, from concentrative levels to the short-term and long-term stability levels of lending structure. The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator was applied to analyze the relationship between concentration and banking risks. In general, the results show that lending concentration may decrease credit risk. It is interesting to observe that the Vietnamese commercial bank lending portfolios have, on average, higher levels of diversity across different sectors. In particular, the increase in hotel and restaurant lending contributes to decrease credit risk while the lending portfolios of banks in agriculture, electricity, gas and water increase credit risk. This study suggests the need for further analysis and research about portfolio risks in lending activities for maintaining efficiency and stability in the commercial banking system.

본 연구는 베트남 유학생을 대상으로 한류에 대한 인식을 조사하고 한류 인식이 치즈닭갈비 선호도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 치즈닭갈비 선호도가 높은 외국인의 경우 한식 이미지와 한식당 방문 의도에 긍정적인 영향을 보이는지 그리고 한류 인식과 치즈닭갈비 선호도 사이에 SNS가 매개역할을 하는지 확인 분석하여 한식 세계화, 한식 메뉴 개발 및 마케팅 활동에 도움이 되는 결과를 도출하고자 하였다. 분석결과 한류인식이 치즈닭갈비 선호도에 정(+)의 영향을 미친다는 가설은 채택되지 않았으며, 한류 인식은 SNS 영향을 통하여 한식선호도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. SNS 영향은 한류인식과 치즈닭갈비 선호도 간 매개역할을 하는 요인임을 확인하였다. 외국인의 경우 다양한 매체 중에 SNS 영향이 한류인식과 한식 간 중요한 역할을 하는 요인임이 확인 할 수있었다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 한식 선호도 및 단일 메뉴 선호도에 영향을 미칠 만한 다양한 요인에 대한 연구와 한식 세계화가 가능한 한식에 대한 재조명이 필요하다고 생각된다.

본 연구는 한식콘텐츠 이용 후 형성된 한식에 대한 호감도가 한류호감도, 한국의 국가이미지, 그리고 한국 방문의도에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 한식콘텐츠를 '한국 음식과 관련된 각종 정보나 내용물'로 정의하고, 한식 레시피 콘텐츠, 한식 식문화 콘텐츠, 한식 레스토랑 가이드, 한식 미디어 콘텐츠의 4가지 콘텐츠 유형으로 제시한 뒤 한 가지 이상의 한식 콘텐츠 이용 경험이 있는 2030 베트남 젊은 층을 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하였다. 수집된 자료는 PLS-SEM 기반의 구조방정식 모델링 기법을 이용하여 가설을 검증하였고, 그 결과, 한식 콘텐츠 이용 후 형성된 한식호감도는 국가이미지에 직접적으로 영향을 끼치거나 또는 한류호감도를 매개로 한국의 국가이미지나 한국 방문의도 모두에 정(+)의 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 한국 방문의도에 직접적인 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설은 유의성이 입증되지 않아 기각되었다. 본 연구를 통해 한식 콘텐츠의 이용경험은 한식호감도, 한류호감도, 국가이미지, 방문의도 등 국가 브랜드 제고에 긍정적인 영향을 끼치고 있었다. 따라서 한류 콘텐츠로서 양적 성장뿐만 아니라 독립적이며 전문적인 질적 성장까지 체계화시키고 고도화시켜 나간다면, 한식 세계화의 미래 방향성을 견인하는 데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
