Tüketici Düşmanlığı ve Kaynak Ülke Etkisi ile Tüketicilerin Küresel Marka Tercihi Arasındaki İlişki

Abstract

Tüketici düşmanlığı ve kaynak ülke etkisi, tüketicilerin tercihlerinde etkili olan konular arasında yer almaktadır. Kaynak ülke etkisi ve tüketicilerin düşmanlık eğilimi, belirli ülkelerin ürünlerine yönelik önyargılara yol açmaktadır. Kaynak ülke bilgisi; tüketici inançları, tutumları ve algıları üzerinde etkili olmakta ve algılanan riskleri azalttığı gibi, önemli bir rekabet avantajı da sağlamaktadır. Bu nedenle, tüketici düşmanlığı ve kaynak ülke etkisi hem firmalar hem de tüketiciler açısından incelenmesi gereken önemli konular arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, tüketici düşmanlığı ve kaynak ülke etkisi ile küresel marka tercihleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Afyonkarahisar ve İzmir illerindeki üniversite öğrencileri oluşturmaktadır. Hedef ülke olarak Fransa ve Çin ele alınmıştır. Küresel marka kategorileri; giyim, otomobil ve kozmetik grupları olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma Afyonkarahisar örnekleminden 407, İzmir örnekleminden 408 araştırmacının katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular, tüketici düşmanlığının Fransa ve Çin’e yönelik küresel marka tercihleri üzerinde, olumsuz etki yarattığını göstermektedir.
