  • The Country of Origin Effect on Sports Apparel Users' Brand Perceptions
    DOES COUNTRY MATTER? The Country of Origin Effect on Sports Apparel Users' Brand Perceptions Marketing Master's thesis Liisa Räty 2009 Department of Marketing and Management HELSINGIN KAUPPAKORKEAKOULU HELSINKI SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS HELSINKI SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS (HSE) ABSTRACT Department of Marketing and Management August 2009 Master’s Thesis Liisa Räty DOES COUNTRY MATTER? The Country of Origin Effect on Sports Apparel Users’ Brand Perceptions Objectives The purpose of this master’s thesis is to study the factors that affect consumers’ perceptions of a brand and determine if country of origin is one of these factors. Country of origin is divided into country of manufacture, country of design and brand origin to simulate the complexity of the country of origin concept in today’s highly globalized economy. All three elements of country of origin are thought to affect brand image directly and indirectly through intrinsic and extrinsic product cues. Consumer values are also thought to influence the way in which country of origin information impacts brand image. Methods Data was collected using a web‐based questionnaire that was sent out to 1326 licensed competitive swimmers whose contact information was acquired from the Finnish Swimming Federation’s database. The questionnaire contained 44 statements measuring the respondent’s attitudes toward goods, clothes and swimwear produced or designed in Asia or Western countries as well as the overall importance of country of origin information in decision making. 343 usable questionnaires were returned. The data was analyzed using the t‐ test and ANOVA to determine if males and females or the different age groups differed in their attitudes.
