     Abstract In the global market, such stakeholders involved in the supply chain management as suppliers, manufacturers and traders need to gain insights into the perceptions and views of customers towards foreign countries in order to efficiently manage the supply chain from the early stages and better respond to global customers’ needs and wants. Considering a country as a brand that needs a marketing campaign paves the way for the idea of relating brand personality to a country, which offers an interesting point of study. This forms the basis of the current research which investigates how country personality impacts on country-of-origin and purchase intentions and which dimensions of personality that may impact on these two factors. In so doing, a survey research with a sample of Thai research consumers and Malaysia as the country context was conducted and then analyzed with a multiple regression. Results reveal that three (out of five) personality dimensions: sincerity, competence, and sophistication significantly impact on country of origin. Country image, another factor often used in research on country perceptions, is also included as an independent variable and found influential for country of origin and purchase intentions. When compared to country personality, country image has greater influence on these two outcomes. These findings provide manufacturers, international marketers and the government a better understanding of views from the global market towards other countries so that they can create a marketing campaign for a country by promoting country images and positioning an appropriate country personality.
