The purpose of this study is examining an influence of a corporate on processed marine product's purchase intention with moderating effect of consumers' product evaluation adding processed marine product's evaluations as new variable. The hypothesis of a positive influence of processed marine product's corporate image on processed marine product's purchase intension is partially supported. Specifically, product itself, service, reliability, and communication among the factors of a processed marine product's corporate image significantly affect processed marine product's purchase intension whereas corporate social responsibility does not affect processed marine product's purchase intention. Processed marine product's evaluation also positively affects processed marine product's purchase intention. It implies that there are somewhat differences between influences of various factors of a processed marine product's corporate image on processed marine product's purchase intention but are overall influences of a processed marine product's corporate image on processed marine product's evaluation both directly and indirectly. Nowadays, consumer considers not only good quality of product but also its invisible image and value. Therefore, future studies should consider various ways to investigate a processed marine product's corporate image and processed marine product's product evaluation.

2006년 손해보험시장의 선도브랜드였던 LG화재는 LIG손해보험으로 기업브랜드명을 변경하면서 적극적 사회공헌활동을 토대로 고객과 사회에 희망을 주는 일등보험금융그룹으로서의 기업이미지를 성공적으로 구축하고 있다. 2004년에 실시되었던 기업브랜드에 대한 소비자조사 결과에서 LG화재는 경영성과에 대비하여 브랜드파워가 상대적으로 낮게 형성되어 있는 것으로 나타나, 브랜드 경쟁력 강화를 위해 브랜드 자산구축전략을 수립할 필요성이 대두되었다. 계열분리에 따라 LG화재는 새로운 기업브랜드 도입을 계획하고, 중장기적인 기업브랜드 자산구축전략의 일환으로 2004년부터 기업브랜드교체를 위한 준비단계에 돌입하였다. 일등보험금융그룹으로서의 규모감과 LG의 계승/발전이라는 의미를 함께 담아 기존의 긍정적 이미지 자산이 전이될 수 있는 방향으로 LG화재에 대한 기업브랜드 교체전략을 수립하고자 하였다. LG화재는 LIG 손해보험이라는 새로운 기업 브랜드를 통해 '삶의 소중함을 함께 가꿔나가는 동반자'로서 고객에게 보험의 새로운 가치를 제공하고자 하였다. 이를 위한 LG화재는 3가지 내부 공유가치를 설정하였다. 먼저, LG화재 브랜드의 기업비전과 공유가치를 담은 "브랜드 지향가치"를 설정하고, 브랜드 가치에 대한 소비자 공감을 획득하기 위해 "브랜드 전달가치"를 설정하고, 그리고 마케팅 커뮤니케이션을 통해 소비자 인식 속에 형성시키고자 하는 "목표이미지"를 설정하였다. LG화재는 새로운 브랜드가치를 고객들에게 전달하기 위해, "LIG손해보험"이라는 새로운 기업브랜드와 신규 하위브랜드를 개발하기로 했다. 또한 효과적인 기업브랜드 관리를 위해, 기업브랜드 목표의 수립과 브랜드모니터링 기능을 한 부서에서 통합적으로 관리하도록 하였다. 또한 브랜드 자산구축에 대한 목표관리를 위해 브랜드 측정모델을 개발하고 브랜드 평가에 활용하였다. LIG손해보험은 통합적 브랜드 커뮤니케이션을 통해 목표 브랜드이미지를 소비자의 마음속에 심고자 노력했고, 그 결과 기업브랜드의 성공적 교체라는 목표를 실현할 수 있었다. 새로운 기업브랜드를 런칭한 이후, 2006년 5월에 실시한 온라인 서베이의 결과에서 LIG손해보험을 LG화재의 새이름인 것으로 정확하게 인지하고 있는 경우가 88.9%로 나타나, 새로운 CI를 성공적으로 소비자들에게 인식시켰다는 평가를 받았다. LIG손해보험은 성공적으로 구축된 브랜드인지도를 바탕으로, "고객과 사회에 희망을 주는 기업"이라는 기업 이미지를 정립하고자 한다. 이를 위해 LIG손해보험은 '고객과 함께 성장하며 삶의 소중함을 가꿔나간다'라는 긍정적 브랜드-소비자관계를 구축할 수 있도록, 다양한 사회공헌사업을 계획/전개하고 있다.

Since the beginning of 2015, corporate social responsibility (CSR) models have been changing in connection with the trend towards the transition of joint value creation of corporate activities and consideration of stakeholders' interests. The purpose of the academic paper lies in empirically studying the current practice of social responsibility of transnational corporations (TNCs). The research methodology has combined the method of qualitative analysis, the method of cases of agricultural holdings in emerging markets within the framework of resource theory, institutional theory and stakeholders' theory. The results show that the practice of CSR is integrated into the strategy of sustainable development of TNCs, which determine the methods, techniques and forms of communication, as well as areas of stakeholders' responsibility. The internal practice of CSR is aimed at developing norms and standards of moral behaviour with stakeholders in order to maximize economic and social goals. Economic goals are focused not only on making a profit, but also on minimizing costs due to the potential risks of corruption, fraud, conflict of interest. The system of corporate social responsibility of modern TNCs is clearly regulated by internal documents that define the list of interested parties and stakeholders, their areas of responsibility, greatly simplifying the processes of cooperation and responsibility. As a result, corporations form their own internal institutional environment. Ethical norms help to avoid the risks of opportunistic behaviour of personnel, conflicts of interest, cases of bribery, corruption, and fraud. The theoretical value of the research lies in supplementing the theory of CSR in the context of the importance of a complex, systematic approach to integrating the theory of resources, institutional theory, theory of stakeholders in the development of strategies for sustainable development of TNCs, the practice of corporate governance and social responsibility.

Purpose - This paper examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial reporting quality. Corporate social responsibility is a way for firms to take responsibility for the social and environmental impacts of their business operations. Corporate social responsibility is a broad concept that can take various forms depending on the firm and industry. Through corporate social responsibility programs, firms can benefit society. At the same time, firms improve their reputations by increasing engagement in corporate social responsibility activities. However, corporate social responsibility activities are not directly related to profitability, especially for distribution firms. Research design, data, and methodology - 229 distribution & service firm-years between 2011 and 2016 are used for the main analysis. In Korea, Korean Economic Justice Institute evaluates the ethical performance of Korean firms, and the institute annually discloses the scores of top firms. This study uses the KEJI Index scores to measure firm-level corporate social responsibility activities. Discretionary accruals are used as a proxy for financial reporting quality. Discretionary accruals can be used opportunistically, and thus distort the information in earnings. We extract financial data from the KIS Value database. Results - We find that distribution & service firms' engagement in corporate social responsibilities is positively related to their financial reporting quality. First, there is a negative correlation between implementation of corporate social responsibility activities and discretionary accruals. In addition, we find that the coefficient of CSR is significantly negative, supporting our prediction. The result is significant at the 1% level. Conclusions - We examine the relationship between corporate social responsibility activities of distribution firms and their financial reporting quality while most prior studies examine the engagement in corporate social responsibility activities of manufacturing firms. The results of this study show that distribution & service firms engaging in corporate social responsibility activities are likely to maintain high-quality financial reporting.

Design/methodology/approach - This study is a single case study centred on Haier, a successful corporate venture in China. Findings - The operational process of Haier's corporate venture includes six key aspects: project selection, team building, resource allocation and support, project implementation, risk control measures, performance evaluation and rewards. In terms of success factors, the support of top management with leadership capability of value creation and sharing is very important for the success of corporate venture. Secondly, a multi reward mechanism can be introduced to motivate employees and improve performance. Thirdly, it is important to integrate corporate culture into the operating mechanism of an corporate venture. Fourthly, flexible operations that break down rigid organisational boundaries and transform the organisation into a more open platform for entrepreneurship can increase the likelihood of success. Finally, empowering employees with operational discretion can also have a positive impact on the success of an Corporate Venture. Research implications or Originality - This study contributes to theory and practice by analysing the success conditions of corporate venture, providing new understanding and drawing new perspectives, especially from the experience of Haier.

Purpose - This paper examines the value relevance of socially responsible activities in the Korean retail firms. Recent studies predict positive relationships between socially responsible activities and the value of corporation. Research design, data, and methodology - We use the environmental score, social score, governance score and the sum of these three scores to represent a fim's effectiveness of socially responsible activities. These scores are published by the Korean Corporate Governance Service. This paper adopts a share price valuation model to evaluate the effect of socially responsible activities on a firm's share price, which controls for the book value of assets and current earnings. The ordinary least square method is employed to examine the relationship. The sample of Korea retail firms is examined from 2011 to 2016. We also conduct sub-sample analysis based on the categorization of chaebol affiliates and non-chaebol affiliates. Results - The entire sample analysis finds neither negatively nor positively significant relationship between socially responsible activities and the value of a corporation. In contrast, our examinations find a significantly positive valuation effect of social score within non-chaebol retail firms. Conclusions - The results weakly support the positive valuation effect of socially responsible activities. The results are consistent with recent studies that highlight heterogeneous effects of socially responsible activities on corporate policies and valuation.

This research uses a panel data set of selected developed and emerging economies to investigate the relationship between firm value and the Islamic label. A low-debt company is a proxy for excellent governance, and good governance has a significant positive impact on a company's valuation. We can claim that the Islamic label may also be a proxy for excellent governance and will significantly impact a company's economic value because it reflects low debt Sharia-compliant companies. To explore this relationship, cross-country data from non-financial enterprises in Pakistan, the United States, Malaysia, and Indonesia was acquired from 2010 to 2015. The study's findings indicate that the Islamic label has a positive significant impact on the firm's worth in the whole sample, including all countries. With the exception of the United States, we have also collected the same information at the country level. We also discovered that the corporate governance index at the firm level has a positive significant impact on firm value. The findings show that the Islamic label reflects good governance and hence can be used as a proxy for good governance. The analysis differentiates between Islamic labeled and conventional enterprises in developed and emerging nations, adding to our understanding of who contributes to enhanced corporate financial performance.

Design/methodology/approach - The sample consists of companies listed on the Korean Exchange that announced investments in new office construction for eleven-years from January 2007 to December 2017. It analyzes excess return using event study methodology and studies the determinants of abnormal return with multiple regression analysis. Findings - We find that abnormal returns of the short and long window are positive on average and statistically significant. In particular, CAR of high growth subsample is a larger positive return than that of the low one both short and long window. Difference in abnormal returns by investment size is observed only in short time window. But there is not observed difference by cash holding level. Research implications or Originality - This finding is able to be added to the evidence of the theory of corporate value maximization academically. Moreover, it shows the possibility that building a new office can have a positive effect on corporate value. It is expected to help investors make decisions because it can provide useful information to market participants in practice.
