Ginseng and ginseng products are distributed in approximately 190 countries around the world. The size of the ginseng market varies by country and there are no accurate statistics on production and distribution amounts per country. Therefore, it is difficult to make predictions about the global ginseng market. Governments and ginseng trading companies are in need of comprehensive data that shows the current status of the ginseng market to help them establish effective import, export, and sales and marketing policies. To addressthis need, this study examines the approximate size of the world ginseng market based on estimates of recent quantities of ginseng distributed in specific country as well as production by major ginseng producing countries. In 2018, global ginseng production was about 86,223 tons based on fresh ginseng. China produced 50,164 tons, South Korea 23,265 tons, Canada 11,367 tons, the US 1,285 tons, Japan 30 tons, and other countries a combined 112 tons. The value of global ginseng production is estimated to be approximately $5,900 million, with $2,870 million (48.6%) in China, $2,489 million (42.2%) in South Korea, $478 million (8.1%) in Canada, $54 million (0.9%) in the USA, $4 million (0.1%) in Japan, and $5 million (0.1%) in other countries. The value of ginseng products consumed for the last five yearsin South Korea was $1,162 million in 2014, $1,280 million in 2015, $1,548 million in 2016, $1,638 million in 2017, and $1,762 million in 2018, showing that the market has been increasing in recent years. In particular, the Korea Ginseng Corporation (KGC), the biggest global ginseng company in South Korea, recorded sales of $1,207 million in 2018. This represents about 69% of the South Korean ginseng market, and about 20% of global production. Since interest in alternative medicine and health food among consumers is increasing globally, the market for ginseng is expected to expand into the future.

Research design, data and methodology: To investigate the FDI environment and identify effective strategies, Global RPM and QSPM analyses were conducted in addition to in-depth interviews with experts. In particular, this study uses the method of Global RPM analysis to make a comprehensive evaluation and analysis on globalization, rationality, and professionalism and morality dimensions of FDI in Uzbekistan. Results: According to the analysis, the conditions of political situation, financial stability, legal frameworks, as well as economic environment of the country play a significant role in bringing in FDIs from abroad. Moreover, based on the results, Uzbekistan scored lowest on globalization, indicating that the country has a low level of integration and openness to the global economy and society. Conclusions: Uzbekistan can boost its productive capacity and GDP growth with FDI, but it has to overcome many structural and logistical obstacles. Furthermore, adhering to the chosen strategies, policymakers can leverage FDI to stimulate economic growth, leading to the generation of new jobs and expanded opportunities in Uzbekistan.

This study utilizes social big data to investigate the factors influencing the awareness, attitude, and behavior toward vegan fashion consumption among global and Korean consumers. Social media posts containing the keyword "vegan fashion" were gathered, and meaningful discourse patterns were identified using semantic network analysis and sentiment analysis. The study revealed that diverse factors guide the purchase of vegan fashion products within global consumer groups, while among Korean consumers, the predominant discourse involved the concepts of veganism and ethics, indicating a heightened awareness of vegan fashion. The research then delved into the factors underpinning awareness (comprehension of animal exploitation, environmental concerns, and alternative materials), attitudes (both positive and negative), and behaviors (exploration, rejection, advocacy, purchase decisions, recommendations, utilization, and disposal). Global consumers placed great significance on product-related information, whereas Korean consumers prioritized ethical integrity and reasonable pricing. In addition, environmental issues stemming from synthetic fibers emerged as a significant factor influencing the awareness, attitude, and behavior regarding vegan fashion consumption. Further, this study confirmed the potential presence of cultural disparities influencing overall awareness, attitude, and behavior concerning the acceptance of vegan fashion, and offers insights into vegan fashion marketing strategies tailored to specific cultures, aiming to provide vegan fashion companies and brands with a deeper understanding of their consumer base.

The central purpose of this paper is to examine impulsive buying from home shopping channels and to investigate some stimulating factors of marketing on the customers' impulsive buying. on TV. Survey questionnaires were given to 303 customers who have purchased products through TV home shopping more than once. We report the following findings. First, we find that product stimuli factors exert an effect on impulsive buying of fashion goods, but not of specialty goods. Second, of the two promotion stimuli factors a bonus pack and an extended payment period-the latter is shown to have a great effect. Third, in the case of price stimuli factors, concrete stimuli such as a discount range have a greater influence than abstract stimuli such as a reliable pricing. Finally, in the area of situational stimuli factors, speeches of show hosts have a bigger impact than buying situations such as limit selling. We believe that the current research provides a significant result, theoretically and practically, with respect to customers' behavior in TV home shopping. The methodological limitation involving samples and sampling method and the regional limitation make it difficult to generalize the findings. It should be worthy classifying and managing marketing stimuli. More practical research is in order.

본 연구는 질적 연구를 통해 인터넷 쇼핑몰을 이용하는 고객의 행동특성과 장기지향성과 관계 단절행동 특성을 살펴보았다. 연구결과 인터넷 쇼핑몰 이용고객도 특정 쇼핑몰에 대한 장기지향성을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 인터넷 쇼핑몰에 대한 고객의 장기 지향성은 일반오프라인에서의 관계와는 달리 '쉽게 깨어질 수 있는 제한적 장기지향성' 이라는 특징을 지니고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과는 인터넷 고객은 여러 가지 이유로 인해 '타성적 장기지향성'을 지니고 있 음을 의미하는 것이다. 인터넷 쇼핑몰이 경쟁우위 확보를 확보하기 위해서는 고객선점이 중요하다 따라서 인터넷 마케팅 관리자는 고객과의 관계초기 단계에는 신뢰확보와 고객만족 달성에 노력하는 것뿐만 아니라 사소한 관계문제에도 세심함 배려를 통해 유대관계를 강화하는 전략이 필요하다.
