Abstract—The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the country variables on brand strength via brand attitude. Moreover, the moderating roles of brand life cycle and cultural identification are examined. A 2╳2╳4 research design ((Taiwan/China) ╳ (high-involvement products and low-involvement products) ╳ (Taiwan, China, Japan, and USA)) and LISREL technique are employed to examine the effects of country variables on brand strength. The results of the study find that country of origin has significantly positive effects on brand attitude and brand strength for both Taiwan and China sample.
