Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Consumer perception and evaluation of foreign goods can be affected by the perception of the different characteristics of the foreign country where they originate. This effect has been widely investigated for products and services, but not for cross-border electronic commerce. We propose that the cognitive and affective dimensions of country-of-origin image have an effect on the perception of a foreign online store, in particular on trust, visual appeal and intention of use. To validate this, we conducted an experimental study among Japanese participants using two online stores, from Thailand and Singapore. The results provided evidence of the positive effect of country-of-origin image on the foreign online store, but this effect was not equal between the two countries. In addition, the perception of each country from the point of view of the Japanese participants was structured differently. We discuss the implications of these results for the promotion of cross-border electronic commerce.
