A. Background of Study
Corporate Image is not formed from a single attitude of the public but from many, and they are closely related to the company's and the public's mental states. And the formed Corporate Image is important and have influence on consumer's purchasing behavior. Recently, Studies on Corporate Image have became active and most studies concentrate on their attention at Corporate advertisement and CI.
In Korea, many company group run professional baseball team for the company image, the company benefit, demoralizing employee's spirit and so on.
So this study turned away its eyes from those trends. It focused on the relationship between marketing and Corporate Image.
And Professional baseball is most active and vigorous in domestic sports marketing field.
So, I was intended to research the affects on managing the Professional baseball team on the Corporate Image.

Also before verifying hypotheses, I measured reliability and correlation coefficient to know measuring property. According to the results, the value was approved appropriate for the verifying hypotheses. Also factor analysis is omitted because the survey item is the approved tools by Winters, Zaichowsky, Snyder, Spreizer and many scholar.
The results of testing reliability and correlation coefficient is like those table 《5-1》 , 《5-2》 .
After passing through these courses, One Sample T-test and Independent T-test was used for verifying hypotheses.
