Remanufacturing is a key strategy for achieving a circular economy. One crucial obstacle to remanufacturing is consumers’ acceptance (or non-acceptance) of remanufactured products. The current study investigated Indonesian consumers’ perceived images of remanufactured auto parts (RAPs) remanufactured in China. Consumers’ perception of a target country can be either helpful or damaging for an international business. If China seeks successful remanufacturing operations across national boundaries, it must establish national branding and manage the image of remanufactured products to meet and exceed consumer expectations in the global market. An online survey with 500 respondents was conducted to examine (1) how basic product knowledge of RAPs influence consumers’ perceived risks and benefits, (2) whether consumers’ purchase intention of RAPs made in the home country influences their purchase intention of RAPs made in China, and (3) whether the trust in the RAP certification increases purchase intention of RAPs.

This paper delves into the rise and decline of Lagos’ China Town and its role as a locus of interactions between Chinese migrants and the Nigerian state. I argue that the rise and fall of Chinese private investment in Lagos’ China Town is explained by the Nigerian state’s adjustment to its own entry into the global market. While some Nigerian government officials formed a shared interest of community with Chinese traders via allowing smuggling and grey customs clearance, others frequently raided China Town in the name of protecting local industries. I also argue that Nigerian traders’ and consumers’ perspectives on substandard made-in-China products differed sharply from those of the Nigerian state and manufacturers.

Smartphone is all about its specification, the more powerful your smartphone is, more expensive it can be. Yet later, China offers a lot of variations with high specification, but also with a cheap price. Smartphone from China is often called ‘scam’ or ‘will be broken easily’, or even ‘not durable’. In this research I want to know either Country Image, Country of Origin, and Brand Image will affect the Purchase Intention or not. It’s not that clear because some people still buy the smartphone made in China.

Global market data indicates that pet food is on the rise, with a projection to occupy a high percentage of the mar- ket for animal products by the year 2021. Given the need for more research related to the pet-human bond from a consumer behavior perspective and the lack of knowledge related to the organic food market for pets, specifically in Medellín (Colombia), this quantitative research explores the acceptance of these products in the city. It also seeks to explore the attitudes and purchase intention towards this type of food and its relation with the humanization of pets. The online survey collected 150 responses of consumers between 18 and 65 years of age, belonging to medium and high socioeconomic levels (4, 5 and 6) in the city. Findings indicate that women have the most positive attitudes towards organic food for pets. More positive attitudes towards this type of food lead to a greater purchase intention. Regarding the level of humanization of pets, there are no significant differences among respondents. The study con- tributes to the understanding of this type of food market in the capital of Antioquia.


Subject China's global market presence in the sectors targeted for development by Made In China 2025. Significance Beijing's 'Made in China 2025' framework aims to make China a leading player in ten high-technology sectors. China’s current position in the global market varies greatly from one targeted industry to another. Comparison with the United States as the world's economic superpower and China’s main rival helps put the grievances Washington expresses towards China in context. Impacts China’s ability to compete on technology and quality will rise significantly, especially in advanced non-electrical and transport machinery. Domestic political pressure on the US government will rise as more US firms face Chinese competition. Trade tensions with the United States will spur indigenous development of technologies for which Chinese firms now depend on US suppliers. A cohort of globally competitive Chinese high-tech firms will develop first; upgrading the whole Chinese economy will take far longer. Even when the technological gap narrows, Chinese firms will continue seeking to acquire high-tech firms in developed countries.

Marketing a product to global consumers is a challenge due to intense competition and consumer biases toward specific country in global market. This paper has been used to address the specific challenge of country made in label in context of ‘Made in China' because China is largest manufacturer and exporter in the world. A conceptual framework has been drawn using extant literature to determine the perceived positioning of ‘Made in China' label. For conceptualization of this study means-end theory has been used which determine product characteristics at superior level. The proposed conceptual framework provides strong managerial insights and indicates that positioning of ‘Made in China' label is significantly influenced at cognitive, normative and affective level. Authors believe this framework as a valuable guideline for brands those are thinking to approach global consumers. This study is also comprised of the mechanism that can be used by firms to handle the perceived positioning of ‘Made in China'.

Abstract We propose a comprehensive decomposition of changes in global market shares that accounts for the value-added content. We find that the ongoing globalization process affects market shares directly by shifting production from developed to developing countries. Moreover, apparent improvements in the relative quality of exported goods from most new EU member states and developing countries occur to some extent from higher quality imported inputs. Hence, the process of outsourcing high-quality production from developed countries plays an important role and reduces the contribution of residual non-price factors in explaining market share gains of developing countries.
