Consumer Assessment

PurposeThe aim of the study reported in this article was to establish whether the quality of clothes of a given brand is perceived and assessed by consumers at the same level. An additional purpose was to identify the features that characterize the quality of popular, among Polish young female consumers, clothing brands and to classify them according to their quality level (perceived and assessed).Design/methodology/approachThe article presents two approaches to consumer assessment of the quality of clothes: the survey method, in which the product quality was determined by 320 Polish female young respondents (19–25) based on their own previous experiences and impressions related to a particular clothing brand, and a direct assessment of shirts of selected brands using a sensory quality assessment method, a five-point hedonic scale with the verbal anchor (115 evaluators).FindingsThe research has revealed a significant difference between the perception of selected quality features of brands and the consumer assessment of the products. The perception maps developed based on the PROFIT analysis (PROperty FITting) as well as on cluster analysis provided interesting information about the situation of selected brands and their features in comparison with others and allowed to identify strong and weak features characterizing a given category.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has several limitations. First and foremost, the research results cannot be generalized to all consumers because they encompass the results from one national context and one population of respondents (young females). It should also be noted that the conducted research comprises only the most popular clothing brands available on the Polish market, in particular, the fast fashion segment brands. Furthermore, it would be advisable to carry out a sensory assessment of the quality of other clothing items offered under the brand names investigated.Practical implicationsThis research could be a valuable source of information for clothing company managers, thanks to which they could better manage their brand and its position on the market. When undertaking marketing activities consisting of building positive perceptions about the product, it is important to make sure that the product offers an attractive sensory experience. When real quality deviates from consumer perceptions about the quality, managers should take corrective actions to restore and even improve the brand image in the eyes of the consumer, as well as to ensure the brand and the products offered under it a stable position on the market.Originality/valueBy comparing two approaches to consumer quality assessment, discrepancies between declared and real (sensory) quality of clothes have been identified and the distinctive features that differentiate selected brands regarding their quality level have been indicated.

Multicase Study

This article discusses the concern with the preservation of gastronomical identity in regional dishes and proposes a methodology to increase the appreciation for these dishes, associating sensory and symbolic quality with current legislation on hygiene and sanitation. METHODS: A qualitative research in the form of a multicase study was done in traditional Azorean restaurants in a Southern, Brazilian city. Data were collected during the preparation of the dishes, using forms based on the systems Nutritional and Sensory Quality Assessment in Meal Production and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points. RESULTS: The results showed that it is difficult to control the process when methodologies and legislation that concerns the degree of hygiene and sanitation are followed, which results in changes to the traditional recipes that could lead to significant heritage losses. CONCLUSION: Thus, by administering the method called Assessment of Gastronomic Heritage Quality, an adequate control of hygiene and sanitation was achieved, preserving the symbolic and sensory character of the typical dish.
