Abstract
This paper investigates Romanian consumer ethnocentrism and the Romanian consumers’ attitudes towards local products and towards campaigns promoting local products. The research was conducted through a questionnaire addressed to a sample containing two groups of respondents. The sample was organized also into two groups: Millennials (consumers aged between 15 and 34 years old) and Non-Millennials (35-over 65 years old). It was tested the hypothesis that Millennials are less ethnocentric compared to the Millennials. Another hypothesis of the research consists of the fact that the Millennials consumers’ attitudes towards local products and towards local campaigns promoting local products show lower scores in comparison with the consumers belonging to the other group. The obtained results of this research highlight the following: there are not significant differences between the two groups regarding the level of ethnocentrism and their attitudes towards consumption of local products and campaigns promoting local products, however Millennials show more interest to the products that offer the best value for money whether they are done or not in Romania in comparison with Non-Millennials. The Romanian consumers would also like that the state and the industry involve more in supporting the local products.
