최근 중국에 진출한 한국기업들은 제품과 직접적으로 관련된 마케팅활동 이외에도 기업이미지 제고를 위한 수단으로 CSR활동과 기업광고를 활발히 수행하고 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 논문에서는 중국 현지 소비자들을 대상으로 중국에 진출한 주요 한국기업들의 CSR활동과 기업광고가 기업이미지에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석함과 동시에 기업이미지와 기업-소비자 동일시, 한국제품에 대한 평가와 중국 소비자의 행위적 반응 간의 구조적 관계에 대하여 파악하고 있다. 이를 위해 우선 이론적 논의 및 선행연구를 바탕으로 5개의 가설을 설정하고 이 가설들을 종합하여 이론적 연구모형을 구축하였다. 그리고 이 연구모형을 검증하기 위해 중국내 주요 대학의 MBA학생들을 대상으로 한 설문조사를 진행하였다. 실증분석 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, CSR활동과 기업광고는 기업이미지에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 둘째, 기업이미지는 기업-소비자 동일시에, 기업-소비자 동일시는 제품 평가에, 제품에 대한 긍정적인 평가는 중국현지 소비자들의 행위적 반응에 모두 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 연구결과는 향후 중국에 기진출한 한국기업들이 중국 소비자들에 대하여 호의적인 기업이미지를 심어주며 소비자와의 우호적인 관계를 지속적으로 유지하기 위하여 활발한 CSR활동과 기업광고활동을 수행해야 할 필요성이 있음을 시사한다.

A number of Chinese students who are studying in Korea have been gradually increasing since Korea and China established diplomatic relations. Many of them sale Korean products to China while studying for their degree programs in colleges. This kind of transactions can be named C2C overseas direct sales. C2C overseas direct sales which are being performed by Chinese student are good for exportation of Korean products. However Some of these transactions are not legal according to present law, First, Chinese student don't have legal status to make the transactions. Second, Chinese students usually make false declarations for evading the taxes, including tariff and VAT, Third, Chinese students can not offer the after-sale service for the goods for the Chinese consumers. Although C2C transactions have some legal matters, they should not be banned by a one-size-fits-all method. In this study, we highly recommend for the development of C2C transactions, First, Korean government should give Chinese students legal status. Second, China customs must strictly prohibit illegal activities of smuggling by taking advantage of postal route. Third, sellers in China can offer the after-sale service to consumers through some specialist A/S firms.

Bulgogi (Korean-traditional barbequed beef) is one of the most globally well-known Korean foods. Though various attempts have been made to promote bulgogi, studies are limited understanding mostly to US consumers or foreigners who reside in Korea. China, the world's most populous country, has the biggest market potential in the world. The purpose of this study was to understand reasons of liking or disliking bulgogi products in Chinese consumers who reside in China in comparison to Korean consumers. The bulgogi used in this study differed in its main marinating ingredients. Check-all-thatapply (CATA) questionnaire was used to collect the reasons why one liked or disliked the given bulgogi product. CATA result showed that even for the same product, Korean and Chinese consumers liked or disliked it for different reasons. In particular, unlike Koreans, Chinese consumers reported sweet taste and garlic flavor as reasons for disliking the samples with high amounts of sugar and garlic, respectively. This seemed to be the result of differences in familiarity of consumers to certain tastes and flavors. The results imply the influence of culture in consumer preferences.

Purpose - This paper examines how the consumer animosity of partner country influences the purchase of foreign products. We analyzed news sentiment to determine whether Chinese consumer's animosity affect the purchase of the products made in Korea around the time when the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile system was deployed in South Korea. Design/methodology - To measure the tone of Chinese consumer animosity more carefully, we utilized a text mining technique of the Chinese language to read the public's opinion. Using Chinese news paper's editorials of 2015.1-2018.10, we analyzed the sentiment toward Korea and regressed it with Korean export to China. Findings - Empirical results report that Chinese consumers tended to reduce their purchase of consumer goods from Korea when the animosity increased, that is, the sentiments of Chinese news editorials were negative. In contrast, the animosity did not affect the purchase of Korean intermediates or raw materials. We further analyzed the effect by dividing the animosity into three categories; politics, economics, and culture. Among these groups, political news exhibits a unique effect on Chinese purchase on consumer goods from Korea. Originality/value - Existing literature on animosity models has measured the animosity by collecting the consumers' opinions through survey at a given time point, whereas it is measured by analyzing the tone of the press release by sentiment analysis during the time period around the event occurrence in this study.

본 연구는 중국진출 한국인터넷기업을 대상으로 중국내 성과제고를 위한 방안모색을 하고자 중국 소비자의 특성에 따른 성과를 실증분석한 후, 이를 토대로 제고방안을 제시하였다. 연구결과, 인터넷기업에 대한 소비자 인식, 접근성, 거래안정성 등이 성과제고에 유의미한 결과를 가져오는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 중국진출 인터넷기업의 성과제고를 위해서 자사에 대한 브랜드 구축, 서버의 확장, 결제시스템에 대한 안정성 제고, 고객과의 소통을 위한 인적자원의 교육 및 훈련 등이 필요함을 제시하였다. 다만, 본 연구는 대부분 중국의 20대에 집중되어 있어 연구성과를 중국 전체소비자로 확장하기에는 다소 무리가 있다.
