Abstract

The study reflects the attitudes of final consumers toward inferior products

and services in an attempt to investigate the process of protecting consumers

from these products and services and the managerial procedures that are

being implemented in the Palestinian market. The study, also investigated

the quality of products and quality standards versus the defected products,

damages caused by inferior products, forces that may drive these products

out of the market, and legal procedures for consumerss protection. Different

protection models were reviewed and analyzed, through review of related

literature, to identify the tools that may limit the consumption of inferior

products. A one day survey was carried out to solicit the opinion of 100

samples of the Palestinian final consumers and to measure the extent of the

Palestinian consumer awareness toward inferior products. Analysis of

collected data provided the following conclusions: There was an urgent need

for developing and improving the existing standards for consumer protection.

Other than limiting the consumption of inferior products, based on the

conclusion that the information and guidelines associated with the use of

any products or services played a major factor in the choice of purchasing

among highly educated and enlighten consumers.
