WHY DOES IT MATTER?<br />

Understanding the ways in which a country can project<br />

itself, as well as the general laws that appear to govern<br />

such things, is essential for anyone who is tasked with<br />

the job of branding a nation.<br />

It should also be of interest to any involved in the<br />

marketing of consumer brands closely tied to their<br />

specific country of origin (even if just implied).<br />

• Would a car made in Kazakhstan be as well engineered as one made in<br />

Germany?<br />

• Would a financial institution from Nigeria be as reliable as one from Switzerland?<br />

Perhaps they would be, but it’s our perception rather<br />

than reality that counts.
