Abstract

A certain degree of contradiction exists around the belief that acculturation to global consumer culture (AGCC) has a negative correlation with an individual's ethnic identity (EID). Indeed, some observers state that it is possible to be acculturated to global consumer culture without a loss of ethnic identity. The study explores AGCC towards South Korean culture consumption and ethnic identity on the part of Indonesians. The research reported here focuses on South Korean culture since an enormous number of that country's products are consumed by Indonesians. The objective is to gain insight into global companies' developing of a strategy to enter the Indonesian market. Questionnaires were distributed to the 349 respondents who participated in the survey. AGCC and EID are negatively correlated to each other. Meanwhile, both AGCC and EID relate to Indonesians' consumer behaviour with regard to South Korean culture and the most appropriate strategy for South Korean culture to enter the Indonesian market being standardisation strategy.
