Cobrand Harm Crisis and Consumer Attributions of Responsibility
This research investigates responsibility attributions to a cobrand in neutral and negative situations. The authors find evidence that cobrand integration and partner brand strength affect consumer attributions of responsibility for performance and subtyping, or exception, judgments. The results also show asymmetric effects of cobrand integration on product and retailer attributions.
