- Abstract
The transnational place brands often have difficulty in gaining role identification from host country consumers due to trade barriers and regulatory differences. Based on a moral legitimacy perspective, this study proposes a research model of how internationalized place brands implement industrial role positioning strategy to drive host country consumers’ trust and purchase intention. This study argues that place brands can promote host country consumers’ trust and purchase intention by adopting a three-dimensional industrial role positioning strategy of cluster normalization, technology specialization, and product welfare. These research findings have management implications for place brands to develop internationalization strategies based on industrial role positioning.
