I use it but will Tell you that I Don't: Consumers’ Country-of-Origin Cue usage Denial

Abstract: Despite extensive evidence that a brand's country-of-origin (COO) affects consumers’ brand evaluations and behavioral intentions, consumers are often reluctant to admit this influence. Challenging the proclaimed irrelevance of the COO concept, the present study assesses the phenomenon of COO cue usage denial, an unconscious defense mechanism that consumers apply to maintain an acceptable self-image. Drawing on self-affirmation theory and based on two experimental studies (combined N = 462), the authors demonst… Show more

“…Language may produce an exotic atmosphere that affects consumer perceptions of a product (Herz, & Diamantopoulos, 2017). Consumers have limited information about the country of origin of a brand; therefore, they may form perceptions of the product's country of origin according to the language found on the packaging (Gopinath & Glassman, 2008;Herz, & Diamantopoulos, 2017). However, people associate different languages with different images and feelings of a country; therefore, manufacturers should choose languages carefully.…”

“…Participants sampling products with the same region (Ex: Japan) label perceived equal degrees of similarity, regardless of the true taste difference between two samples (Japanese and Chinese). In other words, the visual cues dominated the taste cue (Hoegg & Alba, 2007;Labrecque et al, 2013), and region images influenced consumer judgments (Koschate-Fischer et al, 2012;Herz & Diamantopoulos, 2017). In addition, concrete haptic written descriptions and visual depictions of products can partially enhance certain types of touch information (Peck & Childers, 2003b).…”

“…Additionally, previous studies do not also completely describe the impact of the packaging cues on the perceived product quality (Roselli, Carlucci et al 2018). Furthermore, perceived product quality has also been proved to be directly impacted by external cues (Roselli, Carlucci et al 2018) but there are very limited studies focusing on the effect of brand name (Sharma and Garg 2016), country of origin (Herz and Diamantopoulos 2017), price (Huang, Dawes et al 2017) and precautionary label on perceived product quality.…”

“…Gürhan-Canli and Maheswaran (2000) consider the COO as a tool for evaluating new products. Similarly, for Herz and Diamantopoulos (2017) and Klöckner et al (2013), the COO is an important aspect of labels and product evaluation. The COO is also one of the crucial aspects of purchasing decisions (Visbal et al, 2017).…”

“…The report by the European Parliament (Agriculture Committee) also shows that there is considerable interest in indicating the origin of grocery (Menclová, 2018). However, when researching the COO, a frequent problem is that consumers are reluctant to admit this influence on their behaviour (Herz and Diamantopoulos, 2017). The COO is expressed most directly by the abbreviation "Made in" on the product, after which customers are interested in the fall of barriers between countries (Amine et al 2005;Rezvani et al 2012;Bandyopadhyay, 2014).…”
