associated with the brand
• Consumers’ perception linked with purchase intention

How does the country-of-origin influence consumer decision-


making regarding the purchase of luxury products?

RESEARCH QUESTIONS & HYPOTHESES

Can the country-of-manufacture or country-of-design be considered


as the COO?
• More attention paid to the country-of-origin of the brand rather than where
the product is manufactured - or to the more reputable of both countries
 Country-of-origin effect: product related stereotype
• Manufactured in the country of origin  control of the supply chain
