본 사례는 LG 전자가 독일시장에 진출하여 냉장고 사업 부문에서 성공적인 마케팅 활동을 소개하고 있다. 사례연구의 주요 내용은 LG 전자가 1970년대 독일시장에 OEM(주문자 상표 부착방식)으로 유럽에 진출하여 1980년에 유럽최초의 판매법인을 설립하여 경영활동을 하던 중 1990년대 경영위기를 맞이하여 이를 극복하기위한 구조조정 과정과 독일 가전 시장에서 성공적인 마케팅 활동의 전략적 실행의 과정을 다루고 있다. 특히 독일 가전시장에서 기존의 유수한 현지기업과의 치열한 경쟁에도 불구하고 냉장고 사업 부문에서 우수한 사업 성과를 기록하는 마케팅 전략을 3 C 와 4P 관점에서 연구하였다. 사례연구의 시사점은 다음과 같다. LG는 독일의 선진 시장에 진출한 EU에 포함되지 않는 역외업체로서 독일현지시장에서 기존의 강력한 현지업체들과 경쟁하기 위하여 선택과 집중 및 차별화 전략을 실행하였다. 이러한 전략은 기업의 틈새(niche)시장 전략으로 불리어질 수 있다. 즉, 틈새 시장 전략은 후발 진출기업이 경쟁이 치열한 시장에서 주요 경쟁 기업들이 참여하지 않는 세분시장을 발굴하여 이 세분시장에 모든 가용 자원을 투입하는 전략이다. LG는 이러한 현지 시장환경에서 한국 내수모델 중 LG특유의 경쟁력이 있는 품목을 현지시장에 맞게 개발하고 이에 대한 효율적인 마케팅 전략과제의 실행으로 현지시장에서 성공적으로 진출할 수 있었다.

The results of the study show that managers of Korean manufacturing firms pursue international business strategy(IBS) to achieve four different objectives: global integration, national responsiveness, market expansion, or development and exploitation of firm-specific knowledge. IBS is closely related to the international business environment of the firms. When managers think they can exploit economies of scale by integrating worldwide operations, they prefer the global standardization strategy. Managers of firms which implement the localization strategy actively recognize the importance of the strategy more than those of other firms. IBS helps to improve the overall international competitiveness of the firms.

국내에 진출한 Carrefour, Wal-Mart, Tesco(home plus) 등 다국적화된 소매기업들을 통하여 주 2 휴일제 실시로 변화가 예상되는 그들의 점포운영방안을 실적을 분석해봄으로써 보다 효율적인 경영전략과 운영 방안을 모색해보고자 하였다. 국내 할인점의 포화기 진입단계에 들어선 시점에서 국내 진출 다국적 기업들은 국내 선두 기업과 비교하여 짧은 진출 역사에도 안정성과 수익성 측면, 활동성 부문에도 양호한 결과를 나타내고 있으며, 이들의 운영의 전략적 측면은 구매 부문의 EDLP와 운영부문에 EDLC가 선 순환되고 유통·물류정보시스템과 결합하면서 Low Cost Operation이 추진하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 다국적 소매기업들은 표준화와 현지화를 대립이 아닌 양립과 조화로 보면서 현지화 부문에서는 MD(VMD) 부문 개선과 고객서비스를 개선함으로써 국내 기업들의 강한 경쟁자로서 접근하고 있다고 판단된다. 일부 우려에 대한 다국적 기업의 실적 저조에 대한 판단은 그들의 경영전략과 현지화 단계에서의 차이를 감안하면 이른 판단으로 사려 되며, 이러한 다국적화 소매유통기업에 대한 운영방안에 대한 고찰은 다국적 소매기업 및 국내 소매업체들의 경쟁력 향상에도 기여할 것으로 본다.

Recently, researchers and practitioners are emphasizing the importance of integrated-strategic perspective between market and non-market strategies. In this perspective, this study was designed to examine the relationships between cultural distance and the degree of localization strategy and also the moderating effects between them. Using CSR data together with the localization index data (from 2010 to 2012) of multinational companies competing in Chinese market, the three hypotheses proposed in the study were examined. The results of multiple regression analyses show that cultural distance is positively related to the degree of localization strategy of multinational companies. The corporate social responsibility is also positively related to the degree of localization strategy of multinational companies. However, there is negative moderating effect of corporate social responsibility on the relationship between cultual distance and the degree of localization strategy. The findings of this study representing the complementary effects between localization strategy and corporate social responsibility imply that the effect of market competitive strategy can be complemented by non-market strategy. Thus, firms should plan their non-market strategies in the perspective of integrated strategic perspective with market strategy to compete with competitors and increase performance more efficiently.

The present study extends Alden et al.'s (Alden, Steenkamp, and Batra 1999) study of cultural brand positioning through advertising, in which global cultural positioning is distinguished from foreign cultural positioning and local cultural positioning. The present study explores differences in the brand personality between global cultural positioning ads and local cultural positioning ads and investigates the effect of each type of cultural positioning strategy on the brand attitude. A content analysis was conducted for the Chinese print advertisements of Korean brands in order to examine the brand personalities developed by each type of cultural positioning strategy. Substantial differences in the brand personality were not found between the cultural positioning strategies. An experiment was conducted using Chinese consumers in order to test the effect of the cultural positioning strategy on the brand attitude. The global cultural positioning was found to be more effective than the local cultural positioning in general, and the Korean cultural positioning was found to be more effective than the local cultural positioning only for the younger consumers.
