This study assesses methodologies used during the selection of pilot products for the support to development of sustainable geographical indication projects by using the FAO/EBRD project as a case study. Relevant pilot products are essential to provide stakeholders with concrete experience, demonstrative effects and lessons learned in order to disseminate bets practices and facilitate scaling-out of sustainable GI processes. Qualitative data were transformed to quantitative data for product selection because data for local products were insufficient, and standard data were unavailable for each product. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP), simple scoring and geographical indication assessment form were used together as product selection methods. Gemlik Olives, the first registered geographical indication product in the Bursa province, was included during assessment as a control group. Six local products with a potential for GI registration were considered for pilot product selection to serve as demonstrative process. Results suggest that the most important selection criteria were “reputation of the product” and “power of the organisation” and first two ranked products selected for the project were Bursa Black Figs and Bursa Peaches.

An approach has been developed for the solution of the flexible assembly product selection problem. Identifying suitable products for the system is achieved by a set of product selection criteria which is based on the technological adaptability and financial requirements of competing products. The method developed enhances early design stages by providing the most appropriate candidate product(s) and enabling an efficient system to be selected.

Intense competition existing in speculative house-building market creates an industry dominated by client groups. This paper provides insights into house-buyers’ perceptions of a set of criteria contributing to their selection of the product (house) to buy together with the post-occupancy residential satisfaction levels reached after their selections, by presenting survey findings of 320 house-buyers in North Cyprus house-building market. A striking finding was the fact that the responding house-buyers belonging to different categories had very significantly different priorities in the house selection stage. Therefore, market segmentation is the area with a great potential for competitive advantage which will help the house-builders to focus on the product selection criteria of buyers in specific segments so that the capabilities and the strategies of the company can be presented in ways best suited to take advantage of these. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated that price/payment method, design and customization were all crucially important for the buyers. Therefore, builders should focus on determining the optimum customization to offer greater product choice and a proper design without losing their competitive prices. The post-occupancy residential satisfaction values varied significantly according to the categories of house-buyers. This study will combine house-buyers’ product selection criteria and the related satisfaction levels reached during post-occupancy stage. Although this study was based on input provided by house-buyers in North Cyprus market, we believe the findings are of good value to builders and buyers in other similar markets.

Expectations of exporting food and agricultural product to Malaysia have been substantially growing in Japan. Although Japan has two halal certification bodies recognized by Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (JAKIM), it is unclear whether Malaysian consumers trust its certified processed foods. Thus, this study aims to clarify Malaysian consumers’ preference for Hokkaido ice cream by conducting a conjoint analysis. The results show no significant difference in the level of consumer trust in halal certifications, indicating a distribution based on both Malaysian and Japanese certification bodies. Therefore, it is possible that Malaysian consumers would accept Japanese products with a halal certification approved by JAKIM. In addition, the willingness to pay for Hokkaido ice cream reported a high satisfaction value. However, there is no significant effect on food functionality possibly because Malaysian consumers’ awareness of the health benefits remains low.
