Would you fly with an airline whose name meant "misery", or was "EMU", an Australian bird incapable of flight? Would you buy a chocolate bar called "Zit", or consume a soft drink whose advertising message translated as "bring your ancestors back from the dead"? These and other international marketing blunders are reported in the literature as a result of a lack of research, poor translation, or insensitivities to the language and culture of other nationalities. Evidence from the literature seems to indicate that a specialised approach to advertising is more appropriate than a standardised approach when market homogeneity cannot be established. This is particularly significant with non-durable goods and services advertised to a cultural group such as Asians who are quite different from a typical western cultural profile. This Paper will analyse the findings from an experimental manipulation.

HOW TO EVOKE DESIRES: AN ADVERTISING INFORMATION PROCESSING MODEL BASED ON COGNITIVE APPRAISAL THEORIES"Yuichiro Kato, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan
Akifumi Tokosumi, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan
This article focuses on the effect of emotional response to achieve purchase intentions in advertising information processes. Based on cognitive appraisal theories which emphasize that emotions are parts of cognition, three psychological experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of emotions. The results confirmed that (a) the motivation to purchase a product is higher when the understanding about product properties is accompanied with emotional responses, (b) two different understanding processes are observed: understanding about product properties and understanding about a brand character, (c) the motivation to purchase a product is higher when these two understanding processes interact each other.

In Singapore, the use of Chinese medicine has existed with Western medicine for a long time. The Western medicine is often recognised as the dominant form of health practice in Singapore. However, in recent years, there has been a growing interest in Chinese medicine as a form of alternative treatment. This study focuses on the consumers perceptions, attitudes and beliefs towards Chinese medicine. It offers a discussion of the application of statistical techniques in the analysis of positioning of comparable Chinese and Western medicine. In addition, the study also identifies the future trends in the usage of Chinese medicine in Singapore.
