Abstract
We reexamine the N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories with product gauge groups by adding the mass terms and the quartic terms for the flavors: two-gauge group theory with fundamentals, bifundamentals and adjoints, three-gauge group theory with fundamentals and bifundamentals, and their orientifold 4-plane generalizations. By moving the branes appropriately, we obtain the corresponding dual gauge theories. By analyzing the dual superpotentials, we present the type IIA nonsupersymmetric meta-stable brane configurations.
