An assessment of demand artefacts in country-of-origin studies using three alternative approaches

Article Abstract:

The significance of country of origin (COO) effect is more effective in single cue and multi-cue list format condition than the multi-cue ad format condition. A single cue list format condition, however, produces a demand effect that is most plausible because the cue is the only source of the subject's inferences. A multi-cue also yields a prominent cue but it is less likely the focus of the inference. The attribution of demand effects to COO in past studies, however, may be swollen up. An experimental realism should be used in checking the relation between the demand effect and COO.

Competitive environmental scanning and export involvement: an initial inquiry

Article Abstract:

Environmental scanning, or the gathering of data from which corporate plans are based, determines a company's stance in the internationalization process. At first, exporters focus exclusively on local markets and internal activities. Later, they gain interest in the outside environment and learn to monitor trade opportunities, competitors' activities, business external changes and government programs. Export success is achieved as export firms acquire more data through more competitive environmental scanning.
