'The approach of the chapters that comprise this volume is academically rigorous and at the same time managerially relevant, which is why I believe the book helps to push the made-in research agenda forward at the same time as it provides practitioners with new ideas they can apply to their brands.' – Nicolas Papadopoulos, Carleton University, Canada The country of origin of goods and services can have positive or negative effect on customers' intentions to purchase. This book analyzes the impact of this effect on the international development of Italian companies in emerging markets. The chapters refer to a wide range of issues, including made-in effects in relation to ethnocentrism and to corporate social responsibility in small and medium-sized enterprises; the interactions and synergistic effects between product-related made-in images and the images of places as tourism destinations; distribution channel issues; 'made-in topics' in relation to emerging markets; and a review of the relevant literature on country of origin effects. The contributors propose strategies and tools that companies might leverage to develop their international marketing and suggest policies that might strengthen these efforts. This original work will prove to be a valuable resource for students and researchers of international marketing and strategy as well as policy makers.

This new space for comparison defined by globalization can result in very different purchasing behaviors, including those influenced by the 'country of origin'.

Further, it considers the role of international importers and international retailers’ assortment strategies in terms of value creation in foreign markets. Combining theory and practice, the book features diverse company perspectives and interviews with importers and retailers.

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1, The University of Sydney, course: International Marketing, language: English, abstract: This research addresses Country of Origin (COO) effects from the as a measure of strategic marketing and marketing communications of companies in Australia. It reveals that despite the increasing off-shoring and globalization aspects, Country of Origin is of major relevance to a number of product categories in Australia, and consequently very likely worldwide. It is a cross-industry explanatory analysis, which includes major global businesses. It also comprises various aspects of the impact that COO has on the management of companies. The conclusion includes a market overview coupled with a guideline for the application, and future predictions regarding the topic. Within this paper, marketing managers across industries disclose a new perspective to the Australian version of "Country of Origin". By analysing market observations, with examples of case studies, and including compelling illustrations of companies, this paper reveals the viewpoint of the people whose business focus are marketing strategies and marketing communication in Australia. Much research has been done on the impact of country of origin effects on customers, underlining their diverse attitudes towards credibility and respect of brands and products. In one of the latest studies Jean-Paul Usunier (2006) argues that increasing internationalization of production location and raising acceptance of products irrespective of their origin, lead to insignificance of the topic in real life. Yet today country of origin is considered as neither made-in, designed-in, nor country-of-brand. Much rather it is the manipulated consumer perception associated with a product, company or brand. This can be irrespective of location of production or design, such as in the case of Michel’s Patisserie in Australia. Based on established COO research and first hand interviews and surveys, the paper links proven facts of consumer behaviour with potential and actual usage within the marketing strategies of global and domestic companies in Australia. Supported by qualitative and quantitative research, conclusions about the current development are drawn and future applications are predicted and suggested. This research is concerned with if, and how, companies willingly form this perception in Australia and in the end should guide marketing managers on how to use COO as a KSF in Australia and ultimately globally.

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, University of Hohenheim (Lehrstuhl für Unternehmensführung), course: Seminar Marketing und Management-Insights, language: English, abstract: Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden Country-of-Origin und Country Image Effekte mit der Zielsetzung, Implikationen für internationale Marketingstrategien abzuleiten, untersucht. Hierfür werden zunächst Konzeptualisierung und Operationalsierung der betreffenden Konstrukte auf Basis einer fundierten Literaturanalyse die vorgenom-men. Im Weiteren wird der Einfluss des Country-of-Origin wie auch des Coun-try Image auf das Konsumentenverhalten untersucht. Dazu wird neben konventionellen Ansätzen wie Kategorisierung und Ethnozentrismus eine neue, ergänzende Sicht-weise beleuchtet. Insofern lässt sich abschließend die Relevanz des Länderimage für internationale Marketingstrategien aufzeigen, da es sich weiterhin um ein breit diskutiertes Konstrukt handelt, welches künftiger Forschungsaktivitäten bedarf. This paper analyses the concept of Country-of-Origin and Country Image with the purpose of highlighting implications for international marketing strategies. This is done by presenting an overview of the conceptual background of the two concepts, their influence on consumer behaviour as well as by discussing an integrative framework for their conceptualisation and operationalisation. After emphasising that these concepts indeed have an impact on product evaluations, their relevance for international marketing strategies is assessed. Conventional approaches such as categorisation and ethnocentrism that tend to bias Country-of-Origin effects will be complemented by a brand-new one. Thus, it is argued that Country Image is still a disputed issue and that there is need for further research on this construct.
