Origin Effect

This study investigates the salience of country-of-origin effects in an era when firms are globalizing their operations. Country-of-origin (positive or negative) and global brand name (internationally known or new) were manipulated in a 2 by 2 design in which subjects’ evaluations were obtained both before and after they tried a product. In contrast to the general notion that a well-known global brand will override the country-of-origin effect, we found the country-of-origin to be an equally salient and more enduring factor in consumer product evaluation. The findings provide some implications for marketing managers in their global product strategy.

The Impact

Product country-of-origin (COO) is now playing a central role in consumers’ purchase behavior. Previous studies have investigated several factors that impact COO. However, little attention has been paid to the impact of COO on consumers’ product evaluation on Chinese products, especially in the cross-border e-commerce context. Using a multi-methods design, this study first unearthed the antecedents of COO image towards Chinese products from the qualitative data in Study 1 by drawing on the legitimacy theory and then develops a contextual model of consumers’ product evaluation and purchase intention, integrating the role of a product with a different level of involvement. Using quantitative survey data from 252 foreign consumers, the study tests the research model in Study 2. The findings provide empirical evidence to support the model and highlight the importance of COO cues on foreign consumers’ purchase intention towards Chinese products. The results also enhance our understanding of consumers’ purchase decision in cross-border e-commerce.

Product Origin

The impact of product origin on consumer product evaluations is well-documented, and several types of influence have been described in the literature. In this paper, the author will first describe some of the practical and scientific support for this effect, and then focus on the psychology behind the country-of-ori­gin effect. Drawing from recent studies, this paper will review cognitive, affective and normative country­-of-origin effects, and discuss the mechanisms behind the. Special attention will be paid to the general pref­erence for domestic products over foreign alternatives, and to the interaction between country of origin and other marketing variables, such as advertising.
