Companies should be diligent in examining the relationship of product liability claims and effective quality assurance programs. A review of the literature suggests there are many writings about the mechanics of a product liability case, but very little hard evidence to suggest that companies are saving money because of implemented quality initiatives. While liability in this arena is usually borne by an injury that is due to a defect in either design, manufacturing, or marketing materials, suits are generally filed under three broad categories: negligence, breach of warranty, or strict tort liability. Properly implemented quality assurance initiatives will serve a company by tracking all aspects of the operation, from design to packaging, in order to determine where waste and defects a...
The study examines how status seeking and fashion innovative young consumers evaluate diffusion brands. The influence of different brand naming techniques and country of origin on brand image and product quality of diffusion brands are also examined. The results revealed that sub-brands and nested brands have similar product quality and brand image evaluation when compared to the parent brand. Furthermore, subbrands and nested brands have demonstrated product quality fit and brand image fit with the parent brand. The findings suggest that a new brand is not a good substitute for the parent brand to express status. In addition, brand origin is a greater signifier of product or brand quality than country of origin.

We investigate trade-offs among markups, service quality, and product attributes across customer, Internet retailer, and wholesaler echelons. Research has documented the reality of retail price dispersion, but little is known about how retail markups, in particular, are related to service quality and product attributes. For example, do Internet retailers deliver superior service in return for high markups? Do product characteristics affect the relationship between service and markups for retailers? To examine these issues, we first developed a model of Internet retail profitability that separates revenues and costs related to sales from other profit sources. This framework allowed us to position our work alongside the extant literature about Internet retailing. Moreover, it led us to sy...

In this paper we explore the effects of advertising substantiation information on consumers' attribute beliefs and judgments of product quality. We provide a brief background on the Federal Trade Commission's Advertising Substantiation Program. Secondly, we describe an experiment designed to examine the effects of a level of advertising substantiation information made available over the Internet on consumer evaluations of advertised products. This included testing the effects of varying levels of advertising substantiation information for two products on: 1) a claim-related belief (attribute discussed explicitly within the ad), 2) an inferred belief (attribute not discussed within the ad), and 3) overall judgments of brand quality. In all cases, consumer beliefs and judgments were measu...
