Full textThe countries are increasingly aware of the importance of their image, since the image of a country is a key asset in the new economic and political relations. Thus, the research of the image of the country has been gaining importance in the international marketing field studies. In this context, the objective of this research was: investigate what are the dimensions that contribute to constitute Brazilian country image and what are the factors that helps to form this particular aspect in Latin America. To achieve this goal, we performed a qualitative research applying ZMET method, and a quantitative research through a survey with a sample of 1617 respondents of Mexican nationality, Argentina, Ecuador and Bolivia. The study results confirmed that the construct \"country image\" comprises three components (cognitive, affective and conative), it was confirmed also that the Brazilian image can be analyzed by a combination of components cognitive, affective and conative. Since the cognitive was the most strongly identified component, essentially based on beliefs related to politics, the people of the country, social and environmental aspects, the economy, innovation and culture of Brazil. In addition, the results showed that the participants surveyed (Mexicans, Argentineans, Ecuadorians and Bolivians), the Internet and television news are the two most important media for information about Brazil. Therefore, the media performs one important role in the Brazilian image formation in Latin America

Full textSome products\' or services\' characteristics can be easily reproduced, although the brand equity is an intangible asset sought out by the companies and that allows differentiation from other competitors in the market. Many studies analyze interference in the buying decision process: the influence of information about the goods\' or services\' country of origin in consumer\'s attitudes (the so-called \"country of origin effect\"). The country of origin effect is related to the country\'s image as well as its brand. Many companies, trying to benefit from their country of origin image, use brands containing the name of their country in order to leverage their activities. They can also use an industry brand related to their country image. This study intends to analyze in detail some studies about industry\'s brands (or sector brands) because of the few cases reported in the literature about the branding strategy. It also aims to contribute to the theoretical development of this kind of brand strategy, through the purpose of a method for sector branding that could be replicated in different industries and countries. The field research will be exploratory and qualitative, including the use of secondary data and in-depth interviews with Apex-Brasil\'s and INPI\'s agents and consultants to understand the research theme. The data analysis included content analysis and methodological triangulation. The results of the analysis was concluded that the development processes of sector brands are still in the implementation phase and that the mark has been used only to boost exports.

Full textAlthough quite a lot of research has been conducted on the effect of country-of-origin on consumers’ attitudes towards foreign products, this study moves a step beyond. First, we follow Roth and Diamantopoulos’ (2009) recommendation to disentangle country image in terms of its cognitive and affective dimensions, while treating the conative dimension (e.g., attitude) as a result of the former two. Besides, we explicitly disaggregate the cognitive dimension in geographic and human aspects. Additionally, we build an explanatory model with different categories of products – nature-based, industrialized and hedonic – and posit that there are differential effects of the country image dimensions on each particular product category. We run a Web survey to collect data from French consumers on their assessment of cognitive and affective aspects of two countries – Brazil and Germany – and their attitude towards three product categories. Structural equation modeling is used to estimate model parameters. Empirical results corroborate our hypotheses.

O Brasil se tornou nos últimos anos uma importante economia no cenário global. O país sempre foi visto basicamente como um exportador de commodities; no entanto, devido ao crescimento de investimentos e ao desenvolvimento de diversos setores econômicos, essa imagem mudou e está em processo de reconstrução. As empresas para poderem se diferenciarem e ganharem competitividade, precisam entender profundamente como consumidores percebem e avaliam os produtos brasileiros atualmente. É de extrema importância para o Brasil entender o potencial competitivo para posicionar-se corretamente contra as nações desenvolvidas e altamente industrializadas, bem como contra as gigantes economias emergentes como Rússia, China e Índia. Este estudo explora como um grupo de respondentes italianos avaliam a categoria de cosméticos brasileiros. Foi conduzida uma pesquisa exploratória com o objetivo de identificar dentre quarto categorias diferentes de produtos qual seria analisada em detalhe posteriormente por meio de entrevistas em profundidade. Das 4 categorias diferentes de produtos (vestuário, cosméticos, frutas frescas e carnes) foi selecionada a categoria cosméticos que obteve a menor avaliação geral no estudo exploratório. Após a escolha da categoria a ser analisada, uma pesquisa qualitativa com 7 entrevistas em profundidade com consumidores italianos residentes no Brasil foram realizadas. Das pesquisas realizadas são obtidas as percepções de um grupo de consumidores sobre os atributos e associações psicológicas sobre a categoria de cosméticos brasileiros. A análise será conduzida utilizando 3 componentes para explicar a atitude de consumo: a cognitiva, a conativa e a emocional. Deste modo, os resultados e conclusões são apresentados e explorados. Ademais, um mapa psicológico das atitudes sobre a categoria analisada perante o público estudado será desenvolvido, com o objetivo de pontuar suas forças e fraquezas. Desta análise final será possível ter uma visão ampla das características, bem como dos pontos críticos que precisam ser melhorados no futuro para que o Brasil seja uma nação competitiva na indústria de cosméticos e também algumas questões que podem ser estendidas a outros setores da economia brasileira.

Full textThis dissertation firstly explores the experiences and lessons learned from global retailers’ operation in East Asian countries followed by discussing the effect of country image on consumers’ hypermarket patronage intention across different cultures. The empirical results from China case indicate that country image has only an indirect impact on consumers’ hypermarket patronage intention while in Spain case it seems that country image has direct influence on consumer’ store patronage intention. In both Spain and China, country image has a significant impact on consumers’ function based evaluation and experience based evaluation of a hypermarket store. These two kinds of evaluation have significant effects on consumers’ brand attitude towards the target store. The major difference of hypermarket store patronage behavior between Chinese consumers and Spanish consumers is that the former attaches more importance on experience attributes in formulating their store image and on social referents in making their shopping decisions than the latter. Besides, Chinese consumers have stronger ethnocentric tendency in their hypermarket shopping behavior than Spanish consumers. These research findings offer valuable implications to both domestic and foreign retail practitioners in making their marketing strategies

Full textIn a globalized, technological, dynamic, and competitive international trade, the brand concept is now applied to countries, making arise the term country brand. The nations are now seen and act as brands, in order to gain competitive advantage and develop in large scale.A country brand should be strong and add value to their consumers stimulating and attracting tourists, residents, investors and buyers to the country to be successful in this scenario. For this, a well-structured process of nation branding is needed. Moreover, one country brand must be able to provoke reactions and behavioral intentions in international consumers, which are called country specific conations, and it comprises ties with the country, the desire to travel, to invest, to do business with, to work and to purchase goods and services from a country. Thus, this study aimed to verify the existence of the relationship between the country brand equity of Brazil and the country specific conations regarding this country. Brazil is an emerging country whose potential of the country branding is great, but little studied.The study was initiated by a literature review on country image and country of origin effect, country specific conations, country brand and country brand equity. Then, based on primary data collected through a survey of 202 foreign consumers - more specifically with students from foreign universities accredited with the University of São Paulo (USP) in exchange programs, it was conducted a quantitative and descriptive study. This was used the technique of structural equation modeling, which allows to check the dependency relationship between country specific conations of Brazil and its country brand equity. This analysis showed that the country brand equity of Brazil is a muldimensional construct made of three dimensions: perceived quality, macro technique image and loyalty, which are interrelate in a positive way and relate to form the construct of Brazil country brand equity. Finally, it was found that the country equity of Brazil has a positive influence over the country specific conations, in terms of investment, business and labor. These results provide valuable information that can collaborate with the government to develop strategic actions for the improvement and growth of the brand and image of countries (mainly Brazil), because it is possible to note that invest in country brand and its management brings returns to the country. For example, governments can adjust the marketing programs geared to international consumers and the sale of products abroad; modify the publicity campaigns of Brazilian brands internationally and offer subsidies and facilities for investment and business with Brazil. In addition, the research provided theoretical reflections for research in the country image area and country brand equity.

Full textA gestão das percepções e da imagem de um país tem sido um tema, cada vez mais, recorrente não só na literatura como também na agenda da maioría dos governos. Adoptar estratégias de branding nacional tornou-se um imperativo estratégico. Muitos são os factores que contribuem para a formação de percepções sobre os países, nomeadamente a informação que se tem sobre esse país os seus produtos, a cultura, o grau de conhecimento e afectividade. No caso de Portugal esta questão tem grande relevância, e um dos activos com que Portugal poderá contar na divulgação do país, no consumo de produtos Portugueses, ou mesmo em potenciais investimentos, é a enorme comunidade de Portugueses no estrangeiro. A presente investigação centra-se na pesquisa da identificação da imagem desta comunidade em relação a Portugal e aos produtos Portugueses. Considerando que este é um mercado com potencial, vamos analisar quais os laços que mantêm com Portugal, a forma como podem contribuir para o aumento das exportações e para a divulgação de Portugal nos países onde residem. A metodologia utilizada para este estudo foi a quantitativa com recurso à técnica de amostragem não probabilística, por conveniência. Os resultados obtidos demonstram uma forte afectividade e relação com Portugal e o interesse em consumir produtos Portugueses, sendo que os principais problemas encontrados estão relacionados com a conveniência e comunicação destes.
The management of image and perceptions of a country has been a topic increasingly applicant not only literature but also on the agenda of most Governments. There are many factors that contribute to the formation of perceptions about the countries, in particular the information about the country and its products, culture, the degree of knowledge and affectivity. In the case of Portugal this question has great relevance. One active that Portugal can count with, in the promotion of the country, in the consumption of Portuguese products, or in the promotion of foreign direct investment, is the huge community of Portuguese people living abroad. This research focused the investigation of the image that this community has of Portugal and the Portuguese products. Considering that this market has potential, we would like to know what links they still have with Portugal, and also how these can contribute to the increase of Portuguese exports and the promotion of Portugal in the countries where they live. The methodology used for this study was the quantitative sampling technique using non-probability, for convenience. The results obtained demonstrate strong emotional links with Portugal and interest in consuming Portuguese products, being the main problems related to, the convenience to access markets channels distribution and products communication.

Full textPortugal is the third country of the seventeen European countries with the highest unemployment rate and one of the three with the highest increases in the current years (Eurostat, 2013). The purpose of this thesis is to understand the image of young high-skilled Portuguese people working outside their country-of-origin and how this image can be improved in order to increase the opportunities of having a successful career abroad, as Portugal cannot currently offer those opportunities. We conducted a marketing research study targeting high-skilled Portuguese people working abroad (HSPWA), organized in two phases: 1) a pilot study and 2) a questionnaire with open-ended questions on 65 HSPWA. The main conclusions are: a) the initial image of young high-skilled Portuguese workers is not very good, partially because of the country-of-origin (COO) effect; b) because expectations are low and performance is higher than expected, HSPWA are able to inverse the initial perception and “erase” the COO effect.

There is much research suggesting that the country of origin has an effect on product evaluation and brand equity, but most of them focus on the cognitive components of country image. Little empirical study has focus on the effecst of both cognitive and affective components of country image on the product evaluation. And some literatures focus on the effect of country image on general evaluation of products manufactured by that country, brand name cue is ignored. This study was designed to investigate the role of general country image (GCI), country product image (CPI), affective country image (ACI) and brand image (BI) in consumer evaluation of apparel brands. Survey data were collected from residents of Taiwan. A total of 277 respondents evaluated different product combinations (COM / brand) in apparel category. Relationships between constructs were tested using structural equation modeling. The results of this study confirmed that general country image, country product image and affective country image have positive impact on brand image, but the general country image has more impact on brand image than do country product image and affective country image. The study also shows that general country image and country product image exert positive impact on perceived quality. Finally, the results support the conclusion that affective country image is positively related to purchase intention. According to the results, the brand managers should take into account the general country image, country product image and affective country image when decide the manufacturing locations and could seek to reinforce the brand image by changing the country of manufacture. Furthermore, there are implications for national governments to manage their country images.

One of the most important part of Airline industry is Airport. Passenger needs Airport to move places to another place rapidly conveniently and safety. Tourism and Airline industry is all of from service. Earlier studies of airport service levels focused on operational standards defined by queuing time, service lead time, space, physical facilities, and so on. However, there is a move towards a more passenger-orientated mindset, which is a welcome change for today’s highly competitive air transport market. The overall airport experience perceived and recollected by international travelers may have a significant impact by either promoting or discouraging the further development of international tourism and business activities in the corresponding country. Stronger consumer awareness means that passengers pay more attention to the details of services. The purpose of this study is to explore the country image is influenced airport service satisfaction. This study applied a quantitative method that surveyed Foreigners who have been visited in Mongolia also to know about Mongolian International airport. Moreover this study also found that service quality of airport has a relationship with Mongolian country image, and improving International airport’s service. Study method collects questionnaires from 300 foreigners living in Taiwan and the data is analyzed by conjoint analysis method. Country Image and Product Image is dependent variable, Airport service satisfaction is dependent variable.

This study extends previous research on the concept of country of consumption (Huang & Huang, 2011; Huang & Chiang, 2014) and examines the countering effect of country-of-consumption image on the negative country of origin, particularly for brands from emerping countries,by employing vacuum cleaner and flip-flops as the research products. In specific, this study explores the influence of country of consumotion image on consumers’, product evaluations and purchase intention. Morevoer,consumer product involvement is incorporated in this study as a moderator for its potential impact on consumer’ information processing. TO the ends, the current research adopted a 2(Country of Origin: positive and negative) X2 (consumer countries: both positive and negative) X2 (product involvement: the level of involvement) between-subject quasi-experimental design. The results show that country-of-consumption image can overcome the negative effect of the country of origin ;however,only under the condition of, the principle of consistency. When consumers receive consistent information, that is COO and COC are both perceived positive or negative, they will show higher purchase intention.

Full textThe present thesis aims to understand the relationship between Country Image (CI) and its influence on leveraging domestic products, travelling and investing by domestic and foreign consumers, considering the moderating effect of several variables, in the global market. The study was conducted in the Portuguese market and focused on the Portugal CI. The investigation encompassed two phases: Phase One consisted of an exploratory study aimed at identifying the associations consumers make between countries and products and vice-versa and exploring the effect of ethnocentrism in consumer preference of domestic versus foreign products and Country-of-Origin (COO) familiarity in international products/brands recognition. To accomplish this purpose, a questionnaire was distributed, and data was collected cross-nationally, through a sample of graduate students in the USA and Portugal. This exploratory phase also contemplated in-depth interviews with the main responsible for the management of Portugal CI. The results of the interviews helped to identify the current state of Portuguese CI as well as the most representative product categories assessed in Phase Two. Phase Two included two studies. Study One aimed to understand the influence of country personality dimensions and the moderating effect of product involvement on domestic and foreign consumers’ purchase, visit and investment intentions. The perceptions of 337 European and 448 domestic consumers were collected through a questionnaire. Findings indicate that country personality can be explained by a five-dimensions structure that influences consumer’s behavioural intentions, both positively and negatively. This influence decreases when the consumer is more involved with the selected product. Study Two aimed to understand the influence of CI dimensions on consumers’ intention to purchase Portuguese products, visit and invest in Portugal, considering the following moderating effects: familiarity, involvement, ethnocentrism, cosmopolitanism and materialism. The perceptions of 329 European and 436 domestic consumers were collected through a questionnaire. Findings suggested that the cognitive and the affective dimensions of CI influence domestic and European consumer’s behavioural intentions towards Portugal. Overall, this thesis contributes to the literature by understanding the relationship between country cognitions, country affect and country personality and consumers’ purchase, visit and investment intentions, considering the effects of familiarity, involvement, ethnocentrism, cosmopolitanism and materialism. Finally, this work presents implications for practice and identifies opportunities for future research.
A presente tese tem como objetivo compreender a relação entre a Imagem do País (CI) e a sua influência na alavancagem dos produtos nacionais, viajar e investir por consumidores domésticos e estrangeiros, considerando o efeito moderador de diversas variáveis, no mercado global. O estudo foi realizado no mercado português e focado na Imagem de Portugal. A investigação abrangeu duas fases: a primeira fase consistiu num estudo exploratório com o objetivo de identificar as associações que os consumidores fazem entre países e produtos e vice-versa, explorar o efeito do etnocentrismo na preferência do consumidor por produtos domésticos versus produtos estrangeiros e o efeito da familiaridade com o país de origem no reconhecimento de produtos/marcas internacionais. Foi distribuído um questionário a uma amostra de estudantes dos EUA e de Portugal. Esta fase exploratória também contemplou entrevistas em profundidade com os principais responsáveis pela gestão da CI. Os resultados ajudaram a identificar o estado atual da CI, bem como as categorias de produtos mais representativas avaliadas na segunda fase. A segunda fase incluiu dois estudos. O Estudo Um teve como objetivo compreender a influência da personalidade do País e o efeito moderador do envolvimento com o produto nas intenções de compra, visita e investimento dos consumidores domésticos e estrangeiros. As perceções de 337 consumidores europeus e 448 consumidores domésticos foram recolhidas através de um questionário. Os resultados sugerem que a personalidade do País pode ser explicada por uma estrutura de cinco dimensões que influencia as intenções comportamentais dos consumidores, tanto positiva como negativamente. Esta influência diminui quando o consumidor está mais envolvido com o produto selecionado. O Estudo Dois teve como objetivo compreender a influência das dimensões da CI nas intenções dos consumidores de comprar produtos portugueses, visitar e investir em Portugal, considerando os seguintes efeitos moderadores: familiaridade, envolvimento, etnocentrismo, cosmopolitismo e materialismo. As perceções de 329 consumidores europeus e 436 consumidores domésticos foram recolhidas através de um questionário. Os resultados sugerem que as dimensões cognitiva e afetiva da CI influenciam as intenções comportamentais dos consumidores domésticos e europeus em relação a Portugal. Esta tese contribui para a teoria compreendendo a relação entre as cognições, o afeto e a personalidade do País, e as intenções comportamentais dos consumidores, considerando os diferentes efeitos moderadores. O trabalho apresenta ainda contributos para a gestão e identifica oportunidades para investigações futuras.

In the globalization era, enterprises segment the business processes, such as R&D, manufacturing, logistics, marketing, and service, based on local advantages to optimize overall profit. This also leads to the generation of hybrid products (products designed in one country and manufactured in another.)This study presents an extension work by decomposing the concept of Country-of-Origin(COO)image into two components: Country of Design(COD) image and Country of Manufacture(COM)image and test the influence of COD image and COM image on customer’s perceived quality, product attitude and purchase intention of hybrid products. Relationships between constructs(COD image, COM image, perceived quality, product attitude and purchase intention)are hypothesized and data are collected via convenience sampling survey on Taiwan market. Each of the 394 respondents evaluated different combinations(COD/COM image)for high involvement and symbolic meanings product(Volkswagen automobiles). All hypotheses are tested using Structural Equation Modeling(SEM)analysis. The result of analysis experiment of this study indicates the following findings: 1.COD image and COM image have obvious influence on customer’s perceived quality and product attitude when automobiles are manufactured in different countries. 2.COD image and COM image via perceived quality and product attitude as intermediary exert significant effects on purchase intention when automobiles are manufactured in different countries.

Most of developing and especially underdeveloped countries have the problems with the economic growth because they face the problems of finding the market for their products. Developed/advanced countries such as the United State or Japan have gained the advantages of home country bias. A consumer prefers to buy the products from the developed countries rather than developing or underdeveloped countries. The gaps between developed countries and developing/underdeveloped countries are very big. A study of country of origin effects has been begun since the 1960s, however most these researches involve in more developed countries. Therefore, this study tries to seek for investigating the consumers’ attitudes and purchasing intention in new developed and underdeveloped country—across the world—on the electronic products made in four different levels of economic development countries: Taiwan, Japan and Korea. This study also examines phenomenon of consumer ethnocentrism and consumers’ perception of products’ quality and price of the electronic products from different sources.

The geographic distance gradually fades away with the technological advancements of transportation and communication, and this globalization trend has made the merchandises more diverse in international marketplace. But this on the contrary made the consumers feel indecisive of what to buy, hence, they often need some external information of product, e.g.: the price or the description to evaluate. As the country-of-origin image of product is as well an important reference of decision-making, the study consequently focuses on Taiwanese people’s country image recognition of European union. The stratified proportion sampling method is used to collect datum by delivering questionnaires to the postgraduate students in Colleges of Business, Management, Education, Liberal Arts, Foreign Languages, International Studies, Science and Engineering of Tam-kang University. By using frequency analysis to obtain a comprehensive description of general recognition of different aspects of country image at first, then analyze further the difference between their subjective recognition and the real condition. From this study, we have drawn the finding as follow: 1.There are dissimilar country images in different aspects for every country, which reveals that the hierarchy of biases of country image recognitions does exist. 2.Although most of the country image recognitions fit in with the actualities, but the differences between the objective recognitions and the real conditions are mainly caused by the stereotype image and the false impression. 3.While evaluating the unknown variables, the country image exerts an influence as the halo effect. But while evaluating the acquainted variables, the country image exerts an influence as the summary construct.

The study focusses specifically in finding an answer if country image plays an important role in the consumer purchase behavior towards coffee or it’s just a factor that is not taken into consideration by the consumer. To understand the coffee consumer purchase intention towards coffee, a structural design was used through LISREL. The software measured the impact of country image on coffee consumers and as well how coffee shop brand image and coffee knowledge have a hold on consumers. The findings in the study presented an interrelationship between coffee shop brand image, coffee bean country image, and coffee knowledge towards purchase intention. This paper answers the main purpose of the study, “Does country image matter?”; with the results obtained country image doesn’t have any influence on the consumer that leads them towards purchase intention. The other factors used in the paper, coffee shop brand image, coffee bean country image and coffee knowledge hold certain influence towards purchase intention.

The purpose of this study was to explore and examine causal relationships between consumers'' product beliefs, brand attitude and South Korea’s destination image which are represented by two structural models. Quantitative data regarding sample members’ product evaluation of mobile phone or entertainer performance, destination image of South Korea were collected from Taichung International Travel Fair. Two samples consisted of 182 and 184 respondents respectively for functional and hedonic product types were obtained through a combination of purposive and quota sampling procedure. Structural equation modeling and regression analysis were performed to analyze the data. The results of this study showed that respondents’ image of South Korea affects product beliefs, brand attitude and purchase intent. However, reversed effects of the causal relationship which had been revealed in the country-of-origin model were also verified in this study empirically. The reverse country-of-origin model showed that product beliefs and brand attitude of South Korea affect respondents’ image of and travel intention to South Korea. Based on the results, academic implications and managerial applications were consequently discussed.

The objective of the study is to explore the consumers’ perception of each country-of-origin image in fresh fruits. Based on this, it is necessary to find the attributes strength and weakness of the image to induce to strategic implications and then enhance the advantage of domestic fruits. In addition, it is necessary to understand the differences of consumers’ viewpoints on country-of-origin image. A consumer survey was adopted to acquire the first-hand data needed for the research, and then the fishbein model that Bass and Talarzyk modified was applied to analyze the country-of-origin image. The six country fruits included Taiwan, American, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand were the realm(core) of the study. Consumers who live in the three major cities in Taiwan, namely, Taipei city, Taichung city and Kaohsiung city, are the objects of the study. Important findings from empirical results are summarized as follows: 1.Because fruits were affected largely on nature condition and its difference was large, only product attribute was not fully explained the country-of-origin image and it needed multidimensional. Therefore, the study constructs a four-dimensional framework of country-of-origin image, economic development, nature condition, politic/law, product attribute, to be fully explained and enhanced overall country-of-origin image. Finally, the conclusion certificates fruits have country-of-origin image. 2.Because every country-of-origin image has its features, which has attributes strength and weakness, there is different typical appellation of image. For unidimension, there are eight typical appellation of image that the study categorizes, which is high economic development, low economic development, high nature condition, low nature condition, high politic/law, low politic/law, high product attribute, and low product attribute. For two dimensions, there are six typical appellation of image that the study categorizes, which is innate condition, politic/economic development, economic/product, politic/nature, nature/product, and politic/product. Besides, only multi-dimension is balanced development. 3.For product familiarity, the respondents from different regions have different viewpoints. For patriotism, the respondents from different regions have different viewpoints about imported fruits that aren’t produced in Taiwan. 4.Age, educational level, region, and place make the respondents have different viewpoints on country-of-origin image. But family total revenue per month makes the respondents have no difference.

Full textTendo por base teórica a literatura sobre país de origem, marca de um destino (marca-região), e comportamento do consumidor, esta tese propõe um modelo integrado para medição da imagem dum país e o seu impacto nas intenções comportamentais. O modelo postula a imagem cognitiva e a personalidade do país como antecedentes da imagem afetiva e que esta, por sua vez, afeta a intenção comportamental. A imagem cognitiva do país é ainda hipotetizada como tendo influência direta sobre as intenções comportamentais. Foram analisadas amostras por quotas, de 115 indivíduos na fase de pré-teste e de 685 no estudo final, ambas de respondentes Brasileiros. Portugal foi escolhido para país estímulo, e o questionário foi distribuído em português para brasileiros. A análise do modelo integrado, utilizando modelos de equações estruturais, sugere que a personalidade do país tem influência indireta sobre as intenções comportamentais, mostrando que a imagem afetiva do país desempenha um efeito mediador perfeito na relação entre a personalidade do país e as intenções comportamentais. Os resultados mostram ainda que a amabilidade, a assiduidade e o snobismo são as dimensões da personalidade do país mais significativas na condução de ligações emocionais e que, por sua vez, a imagem afetiva do país é relevante na condução das intenções comportamentais. Há ainda indicação de que a imagem cognitiva do país tem influência parcial direta e indireta nas intenções comportamentais. Propõe-se uma escala de medição da personalidade do país com cinco dimensões. Quatro dimensões (amabilidade, assiduidade, conformidade e discrição) mantêm a estrutura original desenvolvida por d’Astous & Boujbel (2007), enquanto que as outras duas (snobismo e maldade) se fundem numa só, na quinta dimensão (snobismo). Verificou-se que os indivíduos têm facilidade em atribuir características humanas a países, e facilidade de as expressarem na forma quantitativa, reforçando a qualidade e pertinência duma escala específica para medição da personalidade dum país. Para além disso, os resultados da análise estatística descritiva mostram haver predominância da perceção de um traço de personalidade conformista, para Portugal.

Country-of-origin (COO) effects is broadly explored and investigated in the literature, the concept furnishes consumptions with only supply-side information from a manufacturer’s view. As global reconfiguration of value chain rises and MNCs expands their production activity across the border, country-of-origin seems loosing its premium on product evaluations. From consumptions’ perspective, we propose a new concept, country-of-consumption (COC) is not only to compensate for the demand-side information insufficiency of COO , but also to offer negative COO countries a potential marketing instrument. We propose that COC influences product evaluations based on different theories. Therefore, in order to distinct from the traditional view of “country label” effects, we consider a new factor COC to take consumption’s perspective to complement country label effects. In addition, We compare halo effect with summary construct to examined which is a better path to measure . Finally, we test of significance between COO and COC. We suggest that COC effects consumptions’ attitude, but not effects consumptions’ intention, may open up an exciting avenue for international marketing research. Strategic implications are considered and future research directions are identified. Conclusions and managerial implications are provided in this article. Further research directions are suggested to gain more significant insight to this most researched international consumption behavior.
