The present study analyzes Hyundai Genesis' introduction in the domestic and the North-American markets in terms of positioning and brand extension strategies in each market. Genesis was positioned to 'A domestic luxury car that looks like a foreign premium brand' in the domestic market and was positioned to 'Quality of luxury car for a price of near-luxury car' in the North-American market. Hyundai brand was extended to Genesis in the North-American Market, but not in the domestic market. The present study examines the backgrounds that resulted in different position concepts in the markets and analyzed the marketing tactics to realize the position concepts. Specifically, we discussed the brand extension strategy that was adopted in the North-American market in terms of its pros and cons. The present study noticed a need for modifying and/or strengthening positioning strategies to face competitive environments and suggests an issue to be discussed with respect to the changes in the positioning strategies.

For protecting copyright for trademark, convolutional neural network can be used to confirm genuine of trademark image. For this, repeated training one trademark image degrades the performance of machine learning because of overfitting problem. Therefore, this type of machine learning application generates training data in various way. But if genuine trademark image is rotated, this image is classified as not genuine trademark. In this paper, we propose the way for extending training data to confirm genuine of trademark image which is rotated. Our proposed way generates rotated image from genuine trademark image as training data. To show effectiveness of our proposed way, we use CNN machine learning model, and evaluate the accuracy with test image. From evaluation result, our way can be used to generate training data for machine learning application which confirms genuine of rotated trademark image.

This study is to investigate the influence of brand benefit on brand extension, especially focusing on the mediating effect of trademark belief and the moderating effect of categorical similarity. This study restates that brand benefit affect consumers' brand extension attitude and confirms that it is completely mediated by trademark belief. In addition, this study finds that categorical similarity moderates the effects of brand benefit on brand extension attitude. The results of this study suggest a theoretical implication that trademark belief can be used as one of the brand extension strategies and a practical implication that the brand communication strategy based on brand benefits should be changed with the categorical similarity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether customers' fashion involvement, brand familiarity, and expertise of negative information moderate the influence of the original brand attitudes on the attitude toward extended brand attitudes in the fashion market. For these purposes, four hypotheses were developed and data was collected from 480 students. Data was analyzed using SPSS methods such as factor analysis, frequency, 1-test, and moderated regression analysis. The results were as follows; first, it was found that the original brand attitudes positively influence the extended brand attitudes. Second, the influence of the original brand attitudes on the extended brand attitudes was stronger when fashion involvement was high rather than low. Third, in the case that perceived similarity between the original and the extended product classes was high, the influence of the original brand attitudes on the extended brand attitudes was stronger when brand familarity was high. Fourth, the influence of original brand attitudes on the extended brand attitudes was stronger when the perceived expertise of negative information source on the extended brand was high. Therefore, the results suggest that extending brands requires the systematic brand management considering customers' variables such as fashion involvement, brand familiarity, negative information etc. Also, it seems that the brand strategy should be based on the segmentation for targeted customers' characteristics.
