This paper investigates the value relevance of advertising activity over the period from 2001 to 2009 in the listed Korean stock markets(KOSPI and KOSDAQ). In addition, this paper divide all sample firm into several subsample, based on R&D intensity and export ratio in total sales. The empirical result of this paper shows following two evidence; First, advertising intensity, which proxies for advertising activity, is significantly related to firm value at the 1% level of significance. Second, advertising activity of high R&D intensity and high export ratio sample firms has more significant value relevance than for firms with low R&D intensity and low export ratio. The empirical results suggest that moderation effect of R&D intensity and export ratio are very important factor in determining the value relevance of advertising activity.

브랜드는 단순히 출처를 표시하고 품질을 보증하며 나아가 광고선전을 담당하는 기능을 하는 도구가 아니라 이를 바탕으로 기업에게 가치를 제공하는 매우 중요한 자산으로 부각되고 있다. 기업은 마케팅 활동을 통해 브랜드 이미지를 개발하고 소비자의 태도를 변화시키며, 자사의 브랜드자산을 증가시켜 브랜드의 시장성과를 높일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 시장에 대한 진입 장벽 효과를 갖게 하고, 브랜드 탄력성을 높이는 등 전략적 가치를 보장받을 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 기업에 있어서 새로운 마케팅 전략의 수단으로 브랜드의 중요성이 높아지고 있으며, 또한 자사의 기업가치를 증대시키기 위해서는 강력한 브랜드자산을 창출하는데 전력을 다해야 할 것이다. 이러한 브랜드자산을 강화하기 위한 수단으로서의 브랜드인지도, 브랜드충성도, 지각된 품질, 브랜드 연상, 광고효과의 역할은 현재와 같은 글로벌 경쟁 시장상황에서 매우 의미가 있다고 본다. 특히 인터넷의 등장으로 더욱 가속화되고 있는 정보화시대에 있어서 광고의 역할이 많은 비중을 차지할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 브랜드인지도, 브랜드충성도, 지각된 품질, 브랜드연상, 광고효과가 브랜드자산 강화에 어느 정도의 영향을 미치는가를 연구하고자 한다. 그리고, 국내 중형승용차 시장에서 선두를 달리고 있는 현대의 소나타 브랜드에 대한 소비자들의 의식을 설문조사를 통하여 브랜드자산을 강화시키는 요인에 대한 영향을 실증 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 한 브랜드자산에 대한 마케팅에 있어서 전략적 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업들은 자사의 브랜드인지도를 높여서 소비자의 마음속에 자사의 브랜드가 장기간 기억될 수 있도록 브랜드인지도에 대한 전략적인 관리가 요망된다. 둘째, 소비자들이 자사의 브랜드가 경쟁브랜드보다 더 강력한 연상이 형성되도록 집중적인 마케팅 노력을 기울여야 할 것으로 보인다. 셋째, 제품품질을 향상시켜 소비자들의 지각된 품질수준을 높이는 노력이 요구된다. 넷째, 주로 단기간 작용하는 광고의 긍정적 효과를 위해서는 지속적인 광고의 실행이 요망된다. 끝으로, 분석결과에서도 알 수 있듯이 브랜드충성도가 브랜드자산 강화에 결정적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 마케팅관리자는 마케팅조사를 통해 브랜드충성도의 변화를 추적하고, 자사 제품에 대한 반복구매 및 브랜드태도의 측정을 함께 실시하여 더 높은 브랜드충성도를 소비자들이 가질 수 있도록 전략적인 방안을 강구하여야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서 나타난 결과를 요약하면 브랜드충성도가 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 브랜드연상, 지각된 품질, 광고효과, 브랜드인지도 순으로 모두다 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 기업에서는 브랜드자산을 강화하기 위해서는 5가지 요인들에 대해 체계적이고 보다 세밀한 관리방안을 수립하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Since mechanical security systems are mostly composed of electronic, information and communication devices, they have effects in the aspects of overall social environment and crime-oriented environment. Also, the importance is increasing for wireless recognition of RFID and tracing function, which will be usefully utilized in controlling the incomings and outgoings of people/vehicles or allowance, surveillance and control. This is resulting from the increase in the care for the elderly according to the overall social environment, namely, the aging society, and the number of women entering, as well as the increase in the number of heinous crimes. The purpose of this study is to examine the theoretical considerations on ubiquitous sensor network and present a direction for securities companies for their development by focusing on the technological and application areas. To present strategies of response to a new environment for security companies, First, a diversification strategy is needed for security companies. The survival of only high level of security companies in accordance with the principle of liberal market competition will bring forth qualitative growth and competitiveness of security market. Second, active promotion by security companies is needed. It is no exaggeration to say that we are living in the modern society in the sea of advertisements and propaganda. The promotional activities that emphasize the areas of activity or importance of security need to be actively carried out using the mass media to change the aware of people regarding security companies, and they need to come up with a plan to simultaneously carry out the promotional activities that emphasize the public aspect of security by well utilizing the recent trend that the activities of security agents are being used as a topic in movies or TV dramas. Third, technically complementary establishment of ubiquitous sensor network and electronic tag is needed. Since they are used in mobile electronic tag services such as U-Home and U-Health Care, they are used throughout our lives by forming electronic tag environment within safe ubiquitous sensor network based on the existing privacy guideline for the support of mobile electronic tag terminal commercialization, reduction in communication and information usage costs, continuous technical development and strengthening of privacy protection, and the system of cooperation of academic-industrial-research needs to be established among the academic world and private research institutes for these parts.

Various functional foods, marketing health and functional effects, have been distributed in the market. These products, being in forms of foods, tablets, and capsules, are likely to be mistaken as drugs. In addition, non-experts may sell these as foods, or use these for therapy. Efforts for creating health food regulations or building regulatory system for improving the current status of functional foods have been made, but these have not been communicated to consumers yet. As a result, problems of circulating functional foods for therapy or adding illegal medical to such products have persisted, which has become worse by internet media. The cause of this problem can be categorized into (1) product itself and (2) its use, but in either case, one possible cause is lack of communications with consumers. Potential problems that can be caused by functional foods include illegal substances, hazardous substances, allergic reactions, considerations when administered to patients, drug interactions, ingredients with purity or concentrations too low to be detected, products with metabolic activations, health risks from over- or under-dose of vitamin and minerals, and products with alkaloids. (Journal of Health Science, 56, Supplement (2010)). The reason why side effects related to functional foods have been increasing is that under-qualified functional food companies are exaggerating the functionality for marketing purposes. KFDA has been informing consumers, through its web pages, to address the above mentioned issues related to functional foods, but there still is room for improvement, to promote proper use of functional foods and avoid drug interactions. Specifically, to address these issues, institutionalizing to collect information on approved products and their side effects, settling reevaluation systems, and standardizing preclinical tests and clinical tests are becoming urgent. Also to provide crucial information, unified database systems, seamlessly aggregating heterogeneous data in different domains, with user interfaces enabling effective one-stop search, are crucial.
