Abstract

The purpose of this current paper was to investigate into the trends and effects of green marketing in India and China with relations to ethnicity and cross cultural aspects. These two countries are fast developing and looks promising in terms of economic power but lack the green marketing consciousness compared to other well developed countries. Many measures are being taken by various industries for the promotion of green awareness in these countries. The two countries are fast developing in the area of green marketing. Green marketing should improve its methods utilizing the cultural differences that is evident from previous research. In the near future, more active green marketing targeting and informing consumers of environmental benefits will be needed by taking ethnicity into consideration for further heightening of overall environmental awareness and initiative.

이 논문의 목적은 문화적인 측면 및 인종과 관련하여 인도와 중국의 녹색 마케팅의 효과와 경향을 탐구하는 것이다. 이 두 나라는 경제력 측면에서 유망해 보이지만 다른 선진국에 비해 녹색 마케팅에 관한 의식이 부족하다. 여러 가지의 조치가 이러한 국가의 녹색 마케팅에 대한 인식의 증진을 위해 다양한 산업을 통하여 진행되고 있다. 이들 두 나라는 그린 마케팅의 영역에서 빠른 성장을 하고 있으며 그린 마케팅은 선행 연구에서 증명된 문화적 차이를 이용하여 그 방법을 개선해야 한다. 가까운 장래에, 보다 적극적인 녹색 마케팅에 대한 전반적인 환경 인식을 고양시키기 위해 인종에 대한 고려가 절실히 필요하다.
