Which of the following refers to the extent to which the place of manufacturing influences product evaluations?

Abstract

Although brand theorists suggest that what a person knows about a company (i. e., corporate associations) can influence perceptions of the company's products, little systematic research on these effects exists. The authors examine the effects of two general types of corporate associations on product responses: One focuses on the company's capabilities for producing products, that is, corporate ability (CA) associations, and the other focuses on the company's perceived social responsibility, that is, corporate social responsibility (CSR) associations. The results of three studies, including one that measures respondents' CA and CSR associations for well-known companies and one that uses consumers recruited in a shopping mall, demonstrate that (1) what consumers know about a company can influence their beliefs about and attitudes toward new products manufactured by that company, (2) CA and CSR associations may have different effects on consumer responses to products, and (3) products of companies with negative associations are not always destined to receive negative responses. The authors conclude by discussing the implications of these findings for marketing managers and further research.

Abstract

This paper presents a holistic model of country-of-origin (COO) influence based on a narrative review of empirical studies of country-of-origin evaluations conducted from 1995-2005 when significant structural changes were occurring in international markets. The model depicts COO evaluations as subject to a number of culturally-derived antecedents and moderated by both product-based and individual consumer factors. In addition, the model shows holistic brand constructs such as brand image to moderate the effect of COO on product quality evaluations and purchase intentions.

Journal Information

The Journal of Marketing Theory and Practice is devoted to the publication of peer-reviewed articles addressing substantive, managerial issues in marketing. In the context of developing, enhancing, and disseminating marketing knowledge, JMTP publishes both conceptual and empirical work, so long as the work provides strong implications for the managerial practice of marketing. Unlike other marketing journals that may be more focused on specific methodological approaches, deal with theoretical issues without regard to application, or represent various subfields of marketing, JMTP is positioned as a general marketing journal affording a quality outlet for more managerially-oriented research across the scope of the field.
