Country-of-Origin Effect and Global Brands
• Consumers have broad but somewhat vague stereotypes about specific
countries and specific product categories that they judge “best.”
• Ethnocentrism
• Countries stereotyped on the basis of whether they are industrialized, in
the process of industrializing, or developing
• The more technical the product, the less positive is the perception of one
manufactured in a less-developed or newly industrializing country
• Fads often surround product from particular countries or regions
Country-of-origin effect (COE) can be defined as any
influence that the country of manufacture, assembly, or
design has on a consumer’s positive or negative perception
of a product.
12 - 24
Private Brands
• Growing as challengers to manufacturers’ brands
• Private labels:
- Provide the retailer with high margins
- Receive preferential shelf space and in-store promotion
- Are quality products at low prices
• Must be competitively priced and provide real consumer value
12 - 25
Summary
• The growing globalization of markets must be balanced with the
continuing need to assess all markets for those differences that
might require adaptation for successful acceptance.
• In spite of the forces of homogenization, consumers also see the
world of global symbols, company images, and product choice
through the lens of their own local culture and its stage of
development and market sophistication.
• Each product must be viewed in light of how it is perceived by
each culture with which it comes in contact.
• Analyzing a product as an innovation and using the Product
Component Model may provide the marketer with important leads
for adaptation.
