본 연구는 외국인지분율이 투자자들 간의 상이한 믿음에 어떠한 영향을 주는지에 관한 실증분석을 실시하였다. 한국은 외국인 직접투자도 활발하지만 외국인 간접투자 또한 활발하다. 따라서 외국인지분율과 관련된 투자 의사결정에 관한 논의는 한국경제를 위해 간과할 수 없는 분야라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 2001-2011년 기간 동안 유가증권시장 상장법인(금융업 제외)을 대상으로 실증분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 외국인지분율의 회귀계수는 유의한 음(-)의 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 최소자승법(ordinary least squares)과 토빗(tobit)분석을 사용하여도 일관된 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 외국인투자자의 투자성향(장기 투자성향과 단기 투자성향)을 고려한 후, 각각의 집단에서 외국인지분율이 투자자들 간의 상이한 믿음에 미치는 영향을 추가 분석을 실시했다. 본 연구는 외국인지분율이 일반 투자자의 투자의사결정에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지를 분석함으로서 외국인 간접투자에 대한 분석을 했다는 점에서 의의를 갖으며, 일반 투자자들이 투자의사결정시 외국인투자자를 고려하고 있다는 실증결과를 제시한다는 점에서 함의점이 있다.

현재 차산업 분야의 브랜드 구축에 대한 이론적 연구는 비교적 광범위하게 진행되었지만, 조사 결과 브랜드 자산의 측면에서 차산업 브랜드를 연구할 수 있는 관련 이론은 여전히 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 본고는 일조녹차를 연구 대상으로 소비자의 관점에서 일조녹차의 브랜드 자산에 영향을 미치는 요인과 각 요인 간의 관계를 중점적으로 연구한다. 연구 결과에 의하면 소비자의 관점에서 일조녹차의 브랜드 자산은 브랜드 인지도, 지역 연상, 품질 감지, 브랜드 충성도로 구성되고, 차원 간에 일정한 상관관계가 존재하며 각 차원은 브랜드 자산에 영향을 미친다. 브랜드 인지도와 지역 연상 사이에는 현저한 상관관계가 있으며, 브랜드 인지도는 품질 감지에 현저한 영향을 미치지 않는다. 지역 연상은 품질 감지와 브랜드 충성도에 현저한 긍정적 영향을 미치고 브랜드 인지도와 품질 감지는 브랜드 충성도에 현저한 긍정적 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 해당 분야의 이론 연구 부족을 보완하는 동시에 일조녹차 브랜드 자산의 구축을 위한 이론적 근거와 실천적 지침을 제공할 수 있다.

Purpose - This study aims to establish the relationships among brand equity, brand attitudes, and Visual Merchandising (VMD) in bakery stores. The results will help bakery franchisees and franchisers in devising appropriate strategies for successfully managing their bakery shops. Research design, data, and methodology - The VMD model for bakery shops comprises harmony, attractiveness, suitability, pandemic, functionality, and reliability. Further, brand equity encompasses brand awareness, perceived quality, and brand image. In this study, the VMD factors of bakery shops are used as independent variables, while brand equity and brand attitude are used as dependent variables. This study aims to ascertain the extent of the influence VMD components of bakery shops have on brand equity and brand attitude. Regression analysis was used to verify those effects. The measurement items, deemed reliable and valid in a previous study, were modified for this study. Questionnaires were distributed to 500 consumers nationwide, of whom 340 were used for the sample. The SPSS 19.0 statistical program was used for the analysis. Results - First, among the VMD bakery shop components, harmony, attractiveness, and pandemic have a positive impact on brand equity (brand awareness and brand image). Second, amongst the VMD components of bakery shops, attractiveness, pandemic, and reliability have a positive impact on brand equity (perceived quality). Third, amongst the VMD components of bakery shops, harmony, attractiveness, and reliability have a positive impact on brand attitude. Fourth, brand equity (brand awareness, brand image, and perceived quality) have a positive effect on brand attitude. Conclusions - This study identifies the relationships between the VMD components of a bakery shop and brand equity and attitude in order to propose a new model. The study has several practical implications. First, the development of brand equity and management can be important components in bakery shops' determination of whether their VMD components have an impact on brand equity. Second, among VMD components, harmony and attractiveness have a positive influence on the choice of bakery shop, while reliability and pandemic have a partly positive influence on the choice of bakery shop. Therefore, store atmospheres should be attractively designed, and store menus and interiors should be reviewed periodically to conform to the latest trends. This study suggests marketing strategies for brand equity formation. First, providing collateral product quality, hygiene, and safety benefits as well as product offerings to complement the season and employees' services should be considered. Second, display methods, illumination designs, and new product ideas should be periodically reviewed. Third, these should complement the overall harmony of the interior and exterior and of the store atmosphere in order to be attractive. Funds should thus be dedicated specifically for the facilities and their interiors. Fourth, it is necessary to build a friendly and relaxed image that can be easily called to mind by the customers.

Purpose - The objective of this paper is to suggest that a company's CRM activities have an effect on customer loyalty in the Korean retail industry. Typically, Korean customers use large local marts with convenience in the absence of any other choice. Therefore, this study aims to shed light on the fact that customers do not break away from their preferred retail stores, either owing to their stringent loyalty (the lie loyalty) or difficulty in turning to alternative choices. Research design, data, methodology - By surveying a sample of 200 hyper-markets through a questionnaire, and excluding dubious and missing responses, I obtained 181 samples to be included in the empirical analysis. The survey was conducted for two weeks during October 2011. AMOS and SPSS18 statistical packages were used for conducting statistical analysis for this study. This paper was developed using the concept of customer equity on CRM, which is known to have a positive impact on customer loyalty through the satisfaction and switching-barrier parameters. The hypothesis of this paper is that customer equity is composed of relationship equity, value equity and brand equity, and that the relationship equity variable has positive effects on the value equity and brand equity amongst other types of customer equity. Moreover, customer equity influences customer loyalty through parameters including customer satisfaction and switching costs in the Korean retail industry. Results - According to the results of the analysis, it was confirmed that relationship value had a positive effect (+) on all variables, including the perceived QoS (Quality of Service), store brand images, economic value, and store convenience. It was also confirmed that the assumption that the perceived QoS (Quality of Service), economic value, and store convenience had a positive effect on customer satisfaction was shown to be statistically significant, with a p-value below 0.05. Only the store brand value variable had an effect on the switching-cost variable with respect to the causal sequence of the variables, including the perceived QoS, store brand value, economic value, and store convenience. The remaining variables did not seem to influence the switching-cost variable. On the other hand, another effect showed that customer satisfaction had a statistically significant influence on the switching-costs variable. Moreover, the customer satisfaction and switching-cost variables also had a statistical influence on customer loyalty. Conclusions - The CRM activities had an influence on various variables (including perceived QoS, perceived economic value, store brand value, and store convenience) pertaining to customer values. Customer satisfaction and switching-cost had some effects on customer loyalty as a parameter. This confirms that stringent loyalty exists with respect to customer loyalty in the retail industry. The fact that the variable had such a statistically significant influence on the switching-cost and store brand equity variables means that consumers react to the reputation of a brand, confidence about the store, and quality confidence. The implications of this study in the retail industry should be further extended to devise strategies for customer retention.

Research design, data, and methodology - In total, 240 subjects were examined in this study. The collected data were analyzed using statistical programs SPSS 21 and AMOS 21. The credibility of the variables was examined using the exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis. The hypothesis was examined through the structural equation model analysis. Results - It is proven that brand image and perceived quality are accepted, and the brand awareness is rejected from the hypothesis that "the brand equity has a positive effect on the brand attitude". However, the brand image and brand awareness are accepted, and the perceived quality is rejected from the hypothesis that "the brand equity has a positive effect on the purchase intention". Conclusions - The following are the conclusions of the study. First, among the components of brand equity, the brand image is confirmed to positively affect both brand attitude and purchase intention. Second, high brand awareness does not necessarily lead to positive brand attitudes of the consumers. Third, The brand image appears to positively affect the brand attitude and purchase intention.
