본 연구는 Hofstede의 문화적 특성변수를 중국지역별 소비자 행동에 적용하여 베이징, 상하이, 광저우의 소비자집단(각 500명)을 대상으로 실증 분석하였다. 특히 본 연구는 중국 주요지역의 소비자의 문화적 특성 중 개인/집단주의, 불확실성 회피 성향에 따른 브랜드 태도가 어떻게 나타나는지를 연구하였다. 실증분석 결과, 개인/집단주의, 불확실 회피성 성향은 중국소비자의 브랜드 태도에 영향을 미치며 지역별로 서로 다른 차이점을 보였다. 그리고 지역별로 북경소비자들이 상하이, 광저우소비자들보다 집단주의적이고 불확실 회피 정도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 지역별로 불확실성 회피 성향이 높고, 집단주의가 높은 지역일수록 불확실성 회피가 낮고 개인주의 성향이 있는 지역보다 브랜드 파워가 있는 외국 브랜드를 더 높게 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 브랜드 파워가 낮은 국내 브랜드 대해서는 개인주의 성향이 높고 불확실 회피성이 낮은 집단이 상대적으로 그렇지 않은 집단에 비해 더 호의적인 태도를 보였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 차후 중국내수시장에 진출할 때 지역별로 서로 다른 문화특성을 고려한 시장세분화 전략과 브랜드마케팅 전략에 필요한 시사점을 제시하며 향후 연구방향을 제시하였다.

최근 오픈마켓에 대한 관심과 활성화로 국내 오픈마켓 이용고객이 국내 소비자뿐만 아니라 외국인 소비자의 비중이 증가되고 있는 시점에서 본 연구의 목적은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 국내 오픈마켓을 이용하는 한국인 소비자와 중국인 소비자 모두를 대상으로 오픈마켓의 브랜드 개성과 고객만족, 애호도와의 관계를 규명하고자 한다. 둘째, 한국인 소비자와 중국인 소비자간에 국내 오픈마켓의 브랜드 개성이 고객만족, 애호도에 미치는 영향에 차이가 나는지를 비교하고자 한다. 우선, 오픈마켓의 이용고객 즉, 한국인 소비자와 중국인 소비자를 모두 대상으로 한 연구가설을 검증한 결과, 브랜드 개성차원 중 능력만이 오픈마켓에 대한 만족에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그 외 활기, 신뢰, 성실감, 친숙함 등은 오픈마켓에 대한 만족형성에 중요한 영향요인 것으로 나타났다. 다음은 한국인 소비자와 중국인 소비자간에 국내 오픈마켓의 브랜드 개성이 오픈마켓에 대한 고객만족과 애호도에 미치는 영향에 차이가 나는지를 검증한 결과, 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 한국인 소비자의 경우, 브랜드 개성 중 능력과 오픈마켓에 대한 만족과의 관계에서 긍정적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그 외의 브랜드 개성차원은 모두 오픈마켓에 대한 만족에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 오픈마켓에 대한 만족이 높으면, 결과적으로 오픈마켓에 대한 애호도도 높아진다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This exploratory study investigated Chinese consumers' perceived usefulness and risks of fashion apps and identified reasons for continuance and discontinuance intentions. This study conducted focus group interviews with a convenience sample of 13 Chinese students majoring in fashion in Korea. Based on interviewee responses, this study identified five attributes leading the perceived usefulness of mobile fashion apps (ubiquity and convenience, multi-media information, personalization, interactivity between consumers, and immediateness) and sub elements related to the five attributes. Five types of perceived risk (privacy risk, security risk, product risk, loss of future opportunity, and time risk) were identified in relation to Chinese consumers' use of fashion apps. The important role of live streaming services was uniquely identified by Chinese fashion app users. Usefulness of location-based information provided by mobile fashion apps were differently perceived according to respondents' use purpose, and augmented reality services provided by the apps were related to entertainment rather than usefulness. This study provides meaningful insights into Chinese consumers' perceptions of fashion apps and important app attributes that influence their continuance and discontinuance intentions. The findings from this study lend preliminary implications for future researchers and fashion businesses interested in the Chinese app market.

This paper aims to stretch the technology acceptance model (TAM) approach by investigating a clothes rental network. One of the understudied geographies of the world economy is the large-scale international trade in clothes, which are consumed by Chinese consumers. An online (www.sojump.com) survey was conducted by including 303 Chinese respondents. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed hypothesis. The results indicated that external influence has a significant impact on the perceived ease of rental. Furthermore, consumers' perceived ease of rental influences the attitude towards renting, and perceived ease of rental plays a complete mediating role between them. However, external influence has no significant impact on perceived usefulness, and consumers' perceived usefulness has no impact on rental intention. In addition, attitude towards renting works as an indispensable mediation between perception and behavior. This study highlights the role of perception, attitude, behavior on clothes rental, and provides guidance and suggestions for clothes rental platform.

This study examines the various responses of Chinese consumers, depending on the nationality of the fashion advertising model featured in an advertisement; it explores the effects of a congruence between self-image and advertising image (CSIAI) on consumer attitudes. This study was conducted by collecting data online; 200 samples selecting a Korean model and 200 samples selecting a Chinese model with a fashion brand were analyzed. A structural equation model confirms the conceptual framework for the influence of CSIAI on consumer attitudes and purchase intentions. The results show that the perceived CSIAI of consumers positively influences their attitude toward the advertising and the brand, and further, that advertising and brand attitudes significantly affect the purchase intention of consumers. This positive relationship is moderated by the nationality of the model. These findings suggest that the nationality of the model can serve as an important retail mix for global marketers. Other results and management implications are also discussed.

With the increased economic profit in China, people tend to give more attention to the nurturing of children. The change in the food markets directly connected to the infants' health seem to have brought various consumption patterns different than before. Based on the actual condition survey operated by this research, the expansion in the scale of consumption and preference to the imported food for infants appeared in the Chinese food markets for infants. The rapidly increased amount of the online purchases of the food for Chinese infants was checked through the condition survey. Based on the analysis results, with the purpose of increasing the purchase opportunities of the Korean food for infants to the Chinese consumers, it should not only perform the promotion activities such as the promotion for the product's superiority and various promotional event, but also establish the pricing strategy for each entry step to the Chinese market. Because the purchase experience of the Korean food for infant plays the important role for the additional payments decision, it is estimated that there is a need to expand the opportunities for the Chinese consumers to approach the Korean food for infants both directly and indirectly.

This study examined the causal relations among brand personality, brand identification, and brand equity of Korean SPA brands that target Chinese consumers. Data were collected from 600 Chinese consumers residing in Beijing and Shanghai from August 15th to August 30th of 2015 by using convenience sampling; 561 of the questionnaires were used in the statistical analyses. Structural equation models were employed using AMOS 22.0. The results were as follows. First, the factors of Korean SPA brand personality, such as sophistication, competence, tenacity, and interest, exerted significant influences on the brand identification, while honesty had no significant influence on brand identification. Second, brand identification had significant influence on brand awareness, brand image, and brand loyalty. Third, brand awareness showed significant influence on brand image and brand loyalty. Fourth, brand image had significant influence on brand loyalty. These results indicated that brand equity can be strengthened by enhancing brand identification with the proper brand personality. This demonstrates that if Chinese consumers can associate Korean SPA brands with a sophisticated, attractive image, brand identification may be improved and brand equity may be strengthened in the long run, providing basic data for establishing efficient marketing strategies for Korean SPA brands in the Chinese market.
