Abstract

The COO effect is defined as an influence of an image of a particular country on the assessment of products and services coming from a given country with ensuing consumer attitudes and behavior. The article presents further adaptation of the models discussed in the literature in order to find universal attributes which would be adequate to the deeper analysis of the COO. The analyzed model of COO effect consists of the following dimensions: innovativeness, diversity, prestige quality. The following hypotheses were verified. (1)The COO dimensions influence the assessment of offers (products and services), (2) consumer?s country of origin influences the assessment in respect of the particular COO dimensions. To analyze a data collected in Poland and Lithuania the analysis of regression has been applied. Results show that country of consumer origin has got a stronger impact on assessment of offer comparing to COO?s dimensions. However it has been indicated that the assessment of products and services is differentiated, depending on the assumed COO dimensions. And some additional results indirectly show the multi-dimensional nature of the COO.
