Article Abstract:
A framework for analyzing factors influencing product quality perceptions is developed and applied to beef products. An ordered probit technique was used to formulate a model relating perceived beef characteristics such as health, convenience, appeal and merchandising attributes to the quality perception of beef. Results indicate that beef quality perception is affected by concerns relating to cholesterol and calorie content, artificial ingredients, convenience factors, mode of display and cost.
