Abstract
Manufacturers or service providers plan and prepare their products and services according to the customers' wishes. Therefore, the first thing that matters to them is the customer's desire, satisfaction and trust. However, some customers could not adopt this view. This study aims to contribute to the literature in a conceptual sense; it aims to reveal the effects of a country-of-origin image on general customer trust and risk perception. In the light of the information obtained from the literature review, data were obtained by conducting a survey study in which the samples based on given responses by respondents from Azerbaijani customers were formed. According to the results of the analysis, it has been determined that the image of the country of origin has a significant effect on customer trust and customer risk perception. Therefore, there are two research hypotheses in the research model. The first is to investigate whether the country-of- origin image affects customer risk perception. According to the analysis is results, it was determined that it had a significant effect. The second research hypothesis is to investigate whether the image of the country-of-origin affects customer trust. As a result, the model was found to be highly significant.
