    Abstract

    Prior studies on counterfeiting activities have focused either exclusively on the supply or demand for pirated products (Tom et al 1998). This conceptual paper stresses the need to look at both sides of the equation. In particular, the influence and interaction of the roles of the consumers, manufacturers and retailers must be emphasised. Three streams of research initiatives, built and extended from existing evidence in the literature, will be presented. Each is accompanied by a series of thought-provoking and analytical questions. Consequently, we will identify who is responsible for the proliferation of counterfeits in our already crowded market place.
