belief, image and product beliefs on willing to purchase and to compare images
of three different countries that Y generation consumers perceive. For this purpose, the main population of the research was the
consumers in the province of Istanbul. As a
result of the research, it has been determined that the image of the country
affects the beliefs about the product and the willing to buy, and the beliefs
about the product is effective on willing to purchase. It was also determined
that the image of the country differs according to the country groups. If no
product groups are considered, U.S. is the first place, G.Korea in second
place, and China country in third place in terms of high images. However, when
the mobile phone product group is taken into consideration, it is determined
