20 pages., Online via UI e-subscription, Researchers used the Theory of Reasoned Action as foundation for investigating how a firm's choices related to brand identity and country of manufacture influenced purchase decisions.

This study focused on appliance brands. The review of literature cited examples of research involving ice cream, wines, and leather products.
