Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze how national stereotype, country of origin (COO), and fashion brand’s images influence consumers’ brand evaluations and purchase intentions regarding fashion collections. Korea (Seoul) and overseas (New York and Paris) collections are compared and analyzed. Design/methodology/approach The authors conduct a structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis using data collected from Seoul, New York, and Paris. Findings Consumers make higher brand evaluations and ultimately have stronger purchase intentions toward fashion collections from countries that have stronger COO and fashion brand images. In the context of fashion collections, COO image is greatly influenced by a nation’s political economic and cultural artistic images. In addition, comparing the domestic Seoul fashion collection with New York and Paris collections reveals that a national stereotype images, COO images of fashion collection, and fashion brand’s images cause different brand evaluation and purchase intention. Originality/value The overarching value of the study is that it expands COO research, which has been limited to actual products. Also, the results provide a basic foundation for establishing marketing strategy based on COO image as a way to enhance the development and image of fashion collection.

Abstract: The athletic footwear industry is growing rapidly in both global and domestic markets, and one of the major global brand players is Nike, which holds the largest market share in the world, followed by Adidas. However, this did not happen in the Indonesian market where Nike was beaten by Adidas to take second place. The difference in this condition is interesting to investigate further about the factors that can influence the buying interest of Indonesian consumers towards the Nike brand, especially in the Greater Jakarta area. Therefore, further research was conducted to determine whether the image of the country of origin, brand image, and brand evaluation could influence purchase interest, through data from 220 respondents who live in Jabodetabek. The hypothesis tested using PLS-SEM shows that all variables have a positive correlation in influencing consumer purchase intentions of the Nike brand, except for the country of origin. The findings in this study will be of great benefit to consumers, marketers and researchers in the future, especially those involved directly and indirectly with the United States and the Nike brand. Abstrak: Industri alas kaki atletik berkembang pesat baik di pasar global maupun pasar domestik, dan salah satu pemain merek global utama adalah Nike, yang memegang pangsa pasar terbesar di dunia, diikuti oleh Adidas. Namun hal tersebut tidak terjadi di pasar Indonesia dimana Nike dikalahkan oleh Adidas untuk menempati posisi kedua. Perbedaan kondisi ini menarik untuk diteliti lebih jauh mengenai faktor-faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi minat beli konsumen Indonesia terhadap merek Nike, khususnya di wilayah Jabodetabek. Oleh karena itu, penelitian lebih lanjut dilakukan untuk mengetahui apakah citra negara asal, citra merek, dan evaluasi merek dapat mempengaruhi minat beli, melalui data dari 220 responden yang berdomisili di Jabodetabek. Hipotesis yang diuji menggunakan PLS-SEM menunjukkan bahwa semua variabel memiliki korelasi positif dalam mempengaruhi niat beli konsumen atas merek Nike, kecuali negara asal. Temuan dalam studi ini akan sangat bermanfaat bagi konsumen, pemasar, dan peneliti di masa mendatang, terutama yang terlibat langsung dan tidak langsung dengan Amerika Serikat dan merek Nike.

PurposeBoth foreign and local companies frequently name their brands in foreign language on the market of developing countries, and some of them choose to disclose the brands' country of origin to consumers. The purpose of this research is to investigate the joint effects between the practices of disclosing the actual country of origin of the brands and the language of the brand names on consumers' purchase intention for foreign brands and local brands in developing countries.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed hypotheses were tested in two studies, namely an experiment and a field experimental survey, with stimuli from two product categories.FindingsThe results of the two empirical studies with Chinese participants consistently demonstrate that revealing the actual country of origin of the brands undermines consumers' purchase intention for local brands that use foreign brand names, but does not impact consumers' purchase intention for foreign brands that use local brand names.Originality/valueThis research first investigates the effects of adapting the brand names into local language of developing countries for brands from developed countries on consumers' purchase intention, which provides new insight into the literature on foreign branding and country of origin effects as well as practical implications for brand managers.
