Dissertação de mestrado em Marketing, apresentada à Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra, sob a orientação de Arnaldo Coelho.Anteriormente as pessoas só podiam ligar à Internet através do computador, mas com a vinda de dos smartphones, agora podemos comunicar em todo o mundo através da Internet. Isto implica que podemos ler, ver e partilhar mensagens, vídeos e fotos onde e quando quisermos. E graças á mídia social como o Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn é mais fácil do que nunca de comunicar com pessoas e marcas. A vantagem destas novas tecnologias implica que os consumidores podem participar na partilha de notícias. Os consumidores podem partilhar as suas opiniões através de blogs, e ainda partilhar vídeos e fotos, e é mais facil a entrar em contacto com as empresas. A partir da perspectiva de negócios, as empresas não podem mais recusar a mídia social. Muitas empresas estavam relutantes no passado por causa dos perigos que a mídia social podiam trazer, mas agora são forçados a atender a proucura dos consumidores. Uma estratégia de mídia social bem concebida tráz enormes vantagens para as empresas, porque as empresas, podem estar mais perto do consumidor e podem assim, ligar os consumidores à marca. Um consumidor que se sente ligado a uma companhia vai promover a marca positivamente, tanto online como offline. A passa palavra tornou-se um método comprovado. É uma técnica de marketing que ajuda a aumentar a conscientização sobre um determinado produto ou marca. A mídia social é um instrumento barato para as empresas e pode aumentar esta técnica efectiva de marketing. A mídia social também oferece uma forma de construir uma comunidade á volta da marca. Pessoas com atitudes positivos (ou negativos) sobre uma marca podem partilhar as suas ideias e experiências uns com os outros, mas também com a marca. É importante manter a informação de forma correta, porque podem e devem melhorar a qualidade do serviço ou produto. Hoje em dia as necessidades dos consumidores estão em função da procura. Com outras palavras, os consumidores decidem o que querem, e as empresas cumprem os desejos dos consumidores, ouvindo-os. O investigador David Aaker criou em 1991 um modelo para as empresas gerir o valor da marca. O resultado da investigaçao é que o valor da marca é influenciado por quatro dimensões, ou seja, qualidade percebida, lealdade à marca, associações da marca e reconhecimento da marca. Keller (1993), Keller e Machado (2006) e Kotler e Keller (2006) apresentaram um modelo conceitual para o valor da marca a partir da uma perspectiva do consumidor individual. O modelo conceitual é baseado em duas componentes: o conhecimento (consciência) e a imagem (imagem). Christodoulidis e De Chernatony (2009) afirmam que Aaker (1991) e Keller (1993), têm o valor da marca conceituada, mas nunca operacionalizou uma escala de medição. Yoo, Donthu e Lee (2000) expandiram o modelo de Aaker. Estes autores separaram o conceito de valor da marca colocando-a entre as "dimensões do valor da marca" e "valores gerados para os clientes e a empresa." Além disso, eles inseriram como antecedentes de dimensões valor da marca das atividades de marketing que em sua opinião, têm efeitos significativos sobre as dimensões do valor da marca. Nesta dissertação, adotamos o modelo de Yoo, Donthu e Lee. Nós criamos um modelo para medir o valor da marca social. Para a realização da pesquisa foram utilizados itens do estudo de Yoo, Donthu e Lee, e acrescentamos duas variáveis ao modelo, ou seja, onde as pessoas procuram informação (searching), e qual conteúdo específico os fans querem ver na pagina do Facebook (fanpage). Nós experimentamos este modelo para a marca de carros Mini.

Full textAbstract:
Much previous research has studied high brand equity acquiring high brand equity or high brand equity acquiring low brand equity. However, very little research has been conducted to understand how that low brand equity acquiring high brand equity changes the low brand equity especially in China. This paper is on the case of Geely Group acquiring Volvo Car which was a typical acquisition of a high brand equity company by a low brand equity company. The aim of the paper is to verify whether this type of acquisition could increase the acquirer’s brand equity evaluated by consumers. This paper selects two brand strategies, ‘the house of brands strategy’ and ‘the endorsed brand strategy’, as the study objects of post-acquisition brand integration, and attempts to find the differences on consumers’ expectations and what is better suited for the new joint company. Therefore, a survey research strategy was used in this paper. A conceptual framework which included brand loyalty and perceived quality was developed from a review of the existing literature. Samples of data collected from Chinese consumers have been analyzed for the changes of consumers’ evaluation on the brand equity of Geely after its successful acquisition. Our research result proved that, a low brand equity company could enhance its brand value through acquiring an internationally known brand. After the acquisition, no matter what brand strategy applied, consumers had a more positive attitude towards the brand. The conclusion reached was that firms should be careful to choose an acquisition strategy by considering its strengths. But when faced with a decision of acquisition, the most important thing is to focus on the final success of the acquisition, while the brand integration strategy might be adjusted flexibly.

Full textAbstract:
In today’s competitive market companies aim at increasing revenue to acquire a higher market share. Previous research indicates that this can be achieved with intangible assets. These assets are described as a firm’s dynamic capabilities, which can be attained through knowledge resources, organizational structure, employee skills, customer size, Research and Development (R&D), innovative capability, market share or a recognizable brand. Previous studies have associated intangible assets to be very significant for a company’s success and even associated them with creating GDP growth, specifically in Nordic countries. Studies indicate an increasing gap between a company’s market value and book value, which is related to the constant omission of intangible assets from the balance sheet. As a result, this gap, according to previous research, attests that markets are not fully efficient and stock prices do not reflect all available information. Internally generated brand equity is among the assets omitted from the balance sheet. Brand equity is one of the most powerful intangibles within a company. Therefore, it has been alleged of generating higher returns. Due to current accounting standards, IAS 38, internally generated brands are not disclosed on the balance sheet. Instead, the standard solely permits externally generated brand equity, which arises during business combinations, to be recognized. Consequently, researchers are questioning the value relevance of accounting because the omission of internally generated brands does not provide accurate information about a company’s true value. As a result, this may create information asymmetry between management and investors. Since investors are interested in a company’s value, the omission of intangibles may lead to poor economic decisions. Numerous studies have addressed the relationship between intangibles and stock returns. However, there is little research that explains brand equity’s relationship to stock performance. Only one study on Turkish brands, by Basgoze et al (2014), managed to address this relationship. However, the authors only concentrated on abnormal returns and not on significant performance ratios like MTBV, ROA, EPS, P/E and ROE. Considering that the study was based on Turkish brands, a research gap was found in addressing the relationship between brand equity and stock performance in Nordic countries. Seeing that these countries highly invest in intangible assets more than any other European country, it further increased curiosity on the relationship between brand equity and stock performance. To address the gap, a quantitative study in the form of Spearman correlations and a linear regression analysis was conducted. The research design of the study placed brands as an independent variable and stock performance variables as dependent variables. As studies have stated that the MTBV-gap disproves claims of markets being fully efficient, theories like EMH and AHM have been used to analyze the relationship between brand equity and stock performance. Other theories used in the analysis was about brand equity and its different sets, a self-constructed definition of stock performance which included MTBV, ROE, ROA, EPS, P/E and stock returns. The results of the study showed that brand equity had a positive relationship with three out of the six included variables in the study, meaning that there was a positive relation. Furthermore, the study also showed that the market is not fully efficient since the results indicated that, due to brand equity not being included on the balance sheet, not all available information is included in stock prices. Therefore, investors will adapt to the current conditions of the market, which is in accordance to the Adaptive Market Hypothesis.

Full textAbstract:
The area of Brand Equity has received considerable attention during the past twenty years. The importance of a brand emanates from the fact that brand recognition and positive associations with it create value for companies and consumers. This value is called Brand Equity and translates into monetary value. Until now, there is scant research on brand equity for online retailers to test whether theoretical frameworks developed for offline companies apply to online businesses. The study is an attempt to bridge this gap by developing and testing a comprehensive brand equity model with selected drivers (customer support and a mix of functionality and fulfilment marketing efforts) and sources (awareness, association of value and trust, and loyalty) of brand equity. Grounded in a traditional offline consumer-based brand equity framework, a research model (at the aggregate level) for assessing brand equity of online companies is developed and tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). Several key findings are reported: First, a measurement model based on dimensions of awareness, associations of value and trust, and attitudinal loyalty seem to fit the data well. Measures have adequate reliability, convergent and discriminant validity. Secondly, from the SEM application, only value association and loyalty are potent determinants of brand equity. Third, awareness, trust and value associations contribute indirectly to create brand equity. Fourth, the hierarchical hypothesized relationships between the sources of brand equity are confirmed. The final best-fitting (calibrating) model derived from the subjects that had bought from the online businesses under study was validated across a sample of subjects. Simultaneous model comparison using structural equation (by means of Chi square difference) confirms the tenability of the calibrating model. To test for the probability than an incorrect model will be rejected, power analysis was calculated. The results indicate that the likelihood of rejecting the hypothesis of exact and close fit equals 1.0. The second phase of the study involved brand analysis at the individual level. According to the calculations Amazon obtains slightly higher brand equity than eBay and puts it in first place, eBay is in second place, followed by Dell in third. CDNow is the worst performer and obtains consumer-based brand equity below average. The study offers contributions to both academia and business in several ways.

This doctoral thesis is about global brands under several perspectives, starting this study with and overview on the matter, followed by a 'step ahead' in the conceptualization of brand equity and brand value. As the global marketplace dynamically increases, there are theoretical and empirical challenges concerning the global brands that ask for more branding researches, trying to tune and to contextualize meanings and attributes. Thereafter, the thesis intends to provide a discussion about the industry and country-of-origin effects (and their interactions) on the brand value and the firm market value. Finally, the thesis offers an interesting comparison about the practitioners’ perspectives on the dimensions of global brands, the brand equity and the brand value, branding and marketing, including highlights on the brand internationalization process. The thesis offers a general approach on the extant literature in the first chapter, and a specific literature review for each other chapter.

Zhu, JianJun. "Three essays on brand equity." Diss., University of Iowa, 2009. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/770.
Full textAbstract:
This three-essay thesis focuses on how value of the brand, i.e. brand equity is created, with each study investigating different parts of the relationships within the brand value chain.
My first essay identifies and tests a new set of brand equity drivers such as brand structure and positioning, brand strategy, and customer characteristics. I use revenue premium as the retail level measure of brand equity and decompose it into price and volume premiums. Then, I explore the effects of different brand equity drivers on these premiums. The study on the universe of grocery industry in the U.S. shows compelling evidences that volume premium prevails over price premium in driving revenue premium. Brand structure and positioning, brand strategy and customer characteristics contribute significantly to the changes of the brand market performance measured with price, volume and revenue premiums.
My second essay examines the association between consumer-based brand equity (IBBE) and brand market performance, and the moderators of this association. I explore a comprehensive set of market performance measures (penetration, loyalty, market share, price and revenue) of 216 major brands sold in the grocery channel in the U.S., in conjunction with EquiTrend© brand equity measure. The results show that customer based brand equity provides incremental explanatory power for brand market performance beyond the explanation by a wide array of performance determinants identified in the first essay. Furthermore, the equity-performance association is moderated by a set of product and category features, as well as the firm brand strategy.
My third essay studies whether firms benefit from having multiple brands across different areas. I model brand market performance as a function of different elements of the firm brand portfolio, including the size and performance of sibling brands and the inter-brand distance. The dataset includes 1,700 brands from over 350 firms in the grocery channel within the U.S. The results show that the brand portfolio information provides incremental explanatory power for brand market performance. Moreover, the size and the performance of sibling brands have significant impact on a focal brand's market performance, and these impacts are moderated by the inter-brand distance.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past few decades, branding has become a priority for companies. A brand helps companies to differentiate themselves from their competitors, which creates competitive advantages. Most of the research on brands has primarily focused on consumer marketing. However, it has been found that the brand is just as important in business to business (B2B) companies, and that it also plays a big role when it comes to the survival av newly established company like for example startups. Startups differ from established companies through their innovative ideas and problem solving. However, they faces challenges because of lack of capital, time and resources. As the competition in the market grows, startups need to create competitive advantages by working hard with their brand strategies to achieve strong brand equity. This study aims to highlight how B2B startups work with brand equity in order to achieve competitive advantages. The study has used a qualitative research strategy where the primary data has been collected through semi-structured interviews with four different startups based in Stockholm. The study shows that startups need to first position themselves in the market and then work on brand building. The result also shows that B2B startups are aware of the brand's importance and that they in fact work with brand equity to achieve competitive advantages. However, the strategies with the steps in the CBBE model differs depending on the industry and type of corporate activity.

Full textAbstract:
I denna studie studeras brand equity och dess påverkan på köpbeslutsprocessen. Hur påverkar brand equity köpare? Vilka steg i köpbeslutsprocessen påverkas? Genom att studera detta kan säljande företag få en ökad förståelse för hur köpare resonerar vid inköp, vilket kan användas när de ska utforma effektivare säljstrategier. Dessutom kommer beslutspåverkande roller att studeras för att resultatet ska bli mer praktiskt applicerbart då det ofta är flera individer som är inblandande när företag ska genomföra inköp.Studien har en kvalitativ ansats med semistrukturerade intervjuer som grund för att studera vilken betydelse varumärken har under köpbeslutsprocessen i byggbranschen. Intervjuerna har genomförts med sju individer som är ansvarig eller haft en stor roll vid inköp av maskindrivna handverktyg på sina företag.Det resultat som studien kommer fram till påvisar att brand equity har betydelse. Ju starkare ett varumärkes brand equity är desto mer påverkan har det på köpbeslutsprocessen. Detta får till följd att varumärken med starkare brand equity blir favoriserade och effektiviserar köpbeslutsprocessen eftersom att köpare tenderar att sålla bort varumärken med svag brand equity. Köpare gör en mindre omfattande köpbeslutsprocess då de väljer att utvärdera färre varumärken. Med varumärken som har ett starkt brand equity upplever dessutom köpare att det finns mindre risk att göra felköp. Säljande företag bör på grund av studiens resultat arbeta aktivt med att förbättra brand equity för sina varumärken. Förutom det praktiska bidraget att studien kan användas för att förbättra säljstrategier kommer studien ge ökad förståelse för brand equity i B2B.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Brands are getting more and more valuable. In this age of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. the value of brands is a key detenninant of a company value and stock market capitalization. For the consumer a brand also plays a significant role. It is seen as a sign of quality, helping them make their purchasing decisions. Yet brand loyalty and established customer relationships can no longer be taken for granted or assumed to last forever in an environment of increased competition. Brand loyalty is vitally dependent on how the relationship between the brand and the consumer is nurtured and specifically developed: A strong brand brings with it the opportunity to raise the proftle of a product and the company that sells it, setting them apart from rivals in the marketplace. A strong brand even allows companies to command a price premium for their products. In this way the value of a brand or brand equity becomes a company's most important asset. But the questions are: How much is the brand actually worth? And how can a brand's value be boosted? The term brand equity originated as a business-financial concept, and consists in "[the] net present value of all future net surpluses over his cash input that the owner of a brand can earn". Such financially oriented measurement of brand equity is a suitable approach for expressing it as a monetary value as required for purposes of financial statements, licensing agreements or acquisition decisions. There is a wide variety of brand valuation models available to detennine a monetary value on brand equity, but in some cases these models are controversial. and the value of their resu1ts as an objective statement may be limited. The consumer oriented perspective on brand equity sets itself apart from the financial approach by focusing on the judgments made by consumers, with a view to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of marketing measures and also brand management on a longterm basis. This behavioural approach endeavours to reach a qualitative explanation of the factors driving brand equity and to determine psychological constructs of brand strength by means of operational measurement. The underlying study project illustrates some of the most common brand valuation models, shows their respective advantages and disadvantages and explores the different approaches to brand equity. Methods to increase brand equity by putting it in the focus ofa Value Based Brand Management explain its drivers and individual brand processes. This approach to a successful brand management is fmally compared with the current brand management process of the FMCG brand NNEA. Recommendations on how this international brand could be managed more efficiently with respect to brand equity conclude this study project.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Handelsmerke raak al hoe meer waardevol. In hierdie eeu van oorgrens-samesmeltings en oornames, is die waarde van 'n handelsmerk 'n sleutelfaktor om 'n maatskappy se waarde en aandelebeurs-kapitalisering te bepaal. Handelsmerke speel ook 'n belangrike rol in die lewe van verbruikers. Dit word beskou as 'n simbool van kwaliteit, 'n hulpmiddel om aankopebesluite te vergemaklik. Nietemin kan lojaliteit teenoor 'n handelsmerk en gevestigede klienteverhoudings nie as vanselfsprekend aanvaar word, of aanvaar word dat dit vir altyd sal aanhou, in 'n omgewing waar kompetisie toeneem nie. Lojaliteit teenoor 'n handelsmerk is in essensie afhanklik van hoe die verhouding tussen die handelsmerk en die verbruiker opgepas en spesifiek ontwikkel word: 'n gevestigde handelsmerk skep die geleentheid om die profiel van 'n produk, asook die relevante maatskappy se profiel, te verhoog - en derhalwe hulle te onderskei van mededingers in die mark. 'n Sterk handelsmerk bring selfs mee dat 'n prys-premie vir produkte gehef kan word. Op die manier word die handelsmerkwaarde of handelsmerk-ekwiteit 'n maatskappy se grootste bate. Maar die vraag is: hoeveel is 'n handelsmerk eintlik werd? Asook, hoe kan 'n handelsmerk se waarde vermeerder word? Die term handelsmerk-ekwiteit het sy oorsprong as 'n besigheidfinansiele konsep en is gewortel in "[die] netto huidige waarde van aIle toekomstige netto surplusse oor die kapitale-insette wat die eienaar van die handelsmerk kan verdien". Bogenoemde finansieel - georienteerde maatstaf van handelsmerk-ekwiteit, is 'n geskikte benadering om dit in monetere waarde uit te druk, soos benodig vir finansiele state, lisensiering-ooreenkomste of oorname besluite. Daar is 'n wye verskeidenheid handelsmerk waardasie modelle beskikbaar om die monetere waarde van handelsmerk-ekwiteit te bepaal, maar in sommige gevalle is die modelle kontroversieel, wat daartoe lei dat die waarde van hulle resultate, as 'n objektiewe waarneming, beperk kan wees. Die verbruiker- georienteerde benadering tot handelsmerk-ekwiteit onderskei homself van die finansiele benadering deur te fokus op die besluite wat gemaak word deur verbruikers, met die oog daarop om bemarkingsmaatstawwe, asook die bestuur van 'n handelsmerk, meer effektief en doeltreffend te maak op 'n langtermyn basis. Hierdie gedragswetenskaplike benadering poog om 'n kwalitatiewe verklaring te gee vir die faktore wat handelsmerkekwiteit dryf en om 'n psigologiese struktuur te gee aan die impak wat 'n handelsmerk het via 'n operasionele maatstaf. Die onderliggende projek iIIustreer die mees aanvaarde waardasie-modelle, asook hulle onderskeie voordele en nadele en ondersoek die verskillende benaderings tot handelsmerkekwiteit. Metodes om handelsmerk-ekwiteit te vermeerder deur dit te benader aan die hand van Waarde-gebaseerde Handelsmerk Bestuur (Value Based Brand Management) gee insig ten opsigte van sy drywers en individuele handelsmerkprosesse. Hierdie benadering tot suksesvolle handelsmerkbestuur word ten slotte vergelyk met die huidige handelsmerkbestuur-prosesse wat deur die FMCG handelsmerk NIVEA gevolg word. Aanbevelings aangaande meer effektiewe bestuur van hierdie internasionale handelsmerk aan die hand van handelsmerk-ekwiteit, sluit hierdie projek af.

Full textAbstract:
Varumärken är viktiga för företags vara eller icke vara. Ett företag vars varumärke är dåligt eller döende kan gå samma öde till mötes som varumärket. Därför är det förvånande att, enligt en undersökning gjord av en varumärkesbyrå publicerad i en branschtidning, marknads- och informationschefer i Stockholm har dålig koll på sitt varumärke. I vår studie undersöks vilka problem som kundföretag oftast har när de söker hjälp av en varumärkesbyrå. Vi försöker sedan att identifiera varför, och möjliga lösningar för att lösa eller förminska dessa problem. För att kunna göra detta har vi genomfört fyra intervjuer med varumärkesbyråer i Stockholm, varav vissa är erkänt bland de bästa i Sverige. Resultatet är att de vanligaste problemen som varumärkesbyråerna identifierat egentligen inte har med varumärkena i sig att göra, utan mest är av organisatorisk och kunskapsmässig art. Exempelvis gör företag för många undersökningar utan att veta vad dessa ska leda till, varumärkets och företagets värderingar är relativt okända inom företaget, företaget har ett kortsiktigt synsätt, och marknadsföringsavdelningar har för bristfälligt samarbete med ledning samt lite makt att kunna styra nödvändiga förändringar. Vi menar att dessa problem kan lösas genom högre utbildning av dem som har hand om varumärket, brand managers, en generell kunskapshöjning inom marknadsföringsavdelningen vad gäller marknadsföring, och en mer integrerad marknadsföringsavdelning som tar plats med ledning för ökat samspel.

Full textAbstract:
The times of following a ‘one brand – one product’ strategy have long past. Nowadays, firms are increasingly recognizing the true value of their brands and are starting to use these as a source of competitive advantage. By introducing new products under an existing brand name, firms leverage the power of their brands and thus, aim at benefiting from the success of the parent brand. Brands are amongst the most valuable assets owned by a company, which encourages them to engage in brand extensions. The authors mainly distinguish between three brand extension strategy types: line extension, vertical line extension and category extension. Previous quantitative studies have identified that particularly brand equity and brand identity stand out as significantly influencing brand extension strategies. Therefore, this qualitative case study further explores how these two branding constructs affect firms’ brand extension decisions. While most past studies investigated the potential success of fictitious brands, this study performs qualitative interviews with brand and product managers of eight real case firms operating in the FMCG industry in Germany. The empirical data indicates that the pressure to innovate rises, as more and more new extension products are being introduced to the market in recent years. Nevertheless, the majority of firms opt for line extension strategies, while only few dare to enter a further distanced market segment. Hence, the condition of a “fit” between the parent brand and extension product is mostly accounted for. The study further suggests that a brand without strong brand equity will not be able to perform brand extensions at any level. However, even if brands do benefit from strong brand equity, firms may adopt divergent strategies, which is mainly dependent on the brand’s identity. The research results show that narrowly defined brands, predominantly distinguishable by concrete product features and physical facets, restrict the firms’ capability to extend a brand beyond its original product line. Contrarily, brands with a more abstract or value based identity provide more opportunities to stretch further from the parent brand. An emotional brand that succeeds in building a relationship to the customer, in representing a distinct personality or telling a story, is able to extend to a new product category. The study concludes that certain brands may be under-exploited, as they do not leverage their high equity and identity capabilities in terms of extending the brand to a further distanced market segment. As a result of the findings, two Brand Extension Strategy Matrices are constructed, setting the brand identity abstraction level (product or value based identity) into relation to (1) brand equity and (2) the identity “fit” of an extension product and the parent brand. Each of these two matrices explains the strategic consequences of a given set of brand equity and brand identity.

Neste trabalho analisam-se os modelos conceituais e operacionais de brand equity baseado no cliente apresentados na literatura acadêmica. Sendo essa a alternativa para explorar o tema: documentar os modelos de brand equity, bem como as diferenças conceituais e empíricas entre os modelos de brand equity, pela ótica do cliente. Neste contexto, surge o seguinte problema de pesquisa: Os modelos existentes na literatura (teórico-práticos) de brand equity, baseado no cliente, podem compor um modelo de mensuração aplicável à realidade brasileira? Para isso faz-se uma pesquisa descritiva com o intuito de apresentar e enumerar os modelos de brand equity baseados no cliente, constantes entre os autores em ciências sociais aplicadas. Os resultados dessa parte do trabalho são tabelas resumo da literatura, apresentadas em capítulo específico, bem como as interpretações provenientes dessas análises. Elabora-se, então, uma pesquisa empírica para verificar a relação existente entre as dimensões que compõem o brand equity baseado no cliente e o mix de marketing organizacional. É desenvolvido análise da literatura, análise de confiabilidade, regressões, e modelagem de equações estruturais. Nessa pesquisa empírica encontra-se as análises de confiabilidade (Alpha de Cronbach´s), onde verificou-se que as dimensões propostas inicialmente por Aaker (1998) e Keller (1993) têm alta confiabilidade de escala. O patrimônio total da marca e a percepção dos preços, propostos por Yoo, Donthu e Lee (2000) também têm alto poder de confiabilidade na escala em português. Na análise das regressões completa, tradicional, e confiável do brand equity, baseado no cliente, houve uma semelhança de resultados. Apesar de algumas diferenças nos números e valores de R2 e de erro, esses foram muito próximos deixando as três equações propostas com mesma significância e valor de predição. Esse valor de predição para as três equações de regressão são moderados/baixos, demonstrando uma predição da variável dependente em grau leve pelas variáveis independentes, propostas nos modelos de regressão. Seguidos das análises de ajustes, verossimilhança, e significância da modelagem de equações estruturais m.e.e. Os objetivos do trabalho, propostos inicialmente, foram alcançados de forma clara e apresentados melhor no decorrer deste trabalho. Essa pesquisa empírica foi replicada para o Brasil, utilizando-se como base o trabalho de Yoo, Donthu e Lee (2000), sendo uma investigação agora desenvolvida nacionalmente. Tendo como alvo da pesquisa o setor de sapatos esportivos de uma grande marca mundial Adidas.In this paper examine the conceptual and operational models of based-client brand equity presented in the academic literature. This being the alternative to explore the theme: documenting models of brand equity, as well as differences between the conceptual and empirical models of brand equity, through the eyes of the customer. In this context, there arises the following research problem: The existing models in the literature (theoretical and practical) of based-client brand equity can make a measurement model applicable to the Brazilian reality? For this it is a descriptive research in order to present and list the models of basedclient brand equity, listed among the authors applied social sciences. The results of this study are part of the summary tables of literature, presented in separate chapter, as well as interpretations from these tests. It elaborates, then, empirical research to verify the relationship between the dimensions that comprise the client-based brand equity and organizational marketing mix. It is developed literature analysis, reliability analysis, regression, and structural equation modeling. In this empirical research is the analysis of reliability (Cronbach\'s Alpha), where it was found that the dimensions initially proposed by Aaker (1998) and Keller (1993) have high reliability scale. The total equity of the brand and the perception of prices, proposed by Yoo, Donthu and Lee (2000) also have high reliability in the power of scale in Portuguese. In the analysis of complete regressions, traditional and trusted brand equity, based on the client, there was a similarity of results. Despite some differences in the numbers and values of R2 and error, these were very close to leaving the three equations with the same significance and value prediction. This predictive value for the three regression equations are moderate / low, showing a prediction of the dependent variable in mild by the independent variables proposed in the regression models. Followed by analysis of settings, likelihood and significance of structural equation modeling s.e.m. The objectives of the work originally proposed, were reached in a clear and better presented in this all paper. This empirical research has been replicated in Brazil, using as basis the work of Yoo, Donthu and Lee (2000), an investigation now being developed nationally. Targeting the research sector of athletic shoes of a great global brand - Adidas.

The purpose of the study was to find out how well companies succeed in trying to convey the identity of their trademarks to the consumers. The study was quantitative with a survey design. A sample of 109 respondents participated. Brand identity and brand image was the focus of the study and was measured in three companies; Odd Molly, Filippa K and Björn Borg. These three were selected partly because of their different profiles. One survey was sent to the companies and one survey was distributed to the consumers. The majority of the questions in the surveys were based on a model designed to measure brand identity and brand image and gap in between them. The study presents three central theories; Profile, Image and Identity, Brand Equity and The Corporate Personality Scale. The first two gives a background to the concept of the words. The Corporate Personality Scale was created and designed to assess image and identity and the gaps in between them. The results showed that there were gaps in between the brand identity and the brand image in all three of the selected companies. However there were also signs of coherence between them. The companies succeeded in some part, in their trying to convey the identity of their trademarks to the consumers. There were both clear gaps and clear coherence between Brand Identity and Brand Image. In some cases the image was graded higher than the identity and vice versa.

Full textAbstract:
In today’s world, where the consumer is constantly exposed to more and more brands in almost any kind of environment, the importance of exploiting those brands which have managed to reach the consumer’s mind and gained a strong position has increased. A majority of new product launches are extensions of existing brands. Brand extensions can be seen as a less expensive as well as less risky way to satisfy the consumer’s demands and needs within several segments by providing several products under the same brand rather than creating a new name for every new product. Even though the extension of brands has become a popular strategy, it can still be somewhat of a troublesome affaire to extend the brand without loosing its original value. A “very good” brand extension not only creates additional cash-flow but also enhances the brand name. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to identify factors that enable enhanced brand equity through category brand extension. A category extensions is when an existing brand name is applied to a product category that is new to the firm.
The study is conducted based on exclusively written data whereas a presentation of textual analysis will appear. As the focus is on theoretical findings and not empirical, no entire chapter in this thesis will concern empirical findings. Elementary variables of brands are defined, explained and discussed as well as the concept of brand equity, identity and image. Further, we present a discussion concerning definitions and the research that has been conducted on the subject of extensions. A discussion on the potential benefits and difficulties that are involved in brand extension follows and the concept of extension fit as well as aspects of lifestyle are presented. The conclusions reach are seven factors, all benefiting from having a high level of abstraction. The factors enhancing brand equity through category extensions are: Brand Context Distance, Lifestyle, Brand Awareness, Fit, Guarantee Function, Personality and Relationship.

Full textAbstract:
Embora haja um consenso sobre a importância do valor da marca, um modelo de estimação único e uniformemente aceito ainda não surgiu, nem na perspectiva baseada no cliente ou consumidor nem na perspectiva da firma ou financeira. Assim, os profissionais de marketing ainda são desafiados a estimar o valor da marca. Além disso, é importante para a construção de um modelo de estimativa de valor da marca detectar as percepções dos consumidores e também apresentar uma estimativa monetária do valor da marca, satisfazendo às exigências de financistas, contabilistas e acionistas empresariais. A maioria dos modelos de valor da marca baseado no consumidor existentes não oferece uma estimativa monetária do valor da marca e muitos modelos de valor da marca baseado na firma não observam as percepções dos consumidores. A maioria deles não avalia o desempenho das marcas em futuros períodos de tempo. Esta pesquisa desenvolveu um modelo que permite estimar o valor da marca observando as probabilidades de escolha (manutenção ou troca) de marca pelos consumidores, com a aplicação da Matriz de Troca Markov. A matriz de troca de marca foi estimada por um estudo transversal, utilizando um modelo de escolha logit, analisando todas as marcas competidoras no mercado. Esta pesquisa também investigou o valor monetário da marca, utilizando o mecanismo de fluxo de caixa descontado. O modelo permite o cálculo do valor da marca de um produto, em particular, bem como o cálculo do valor da marca da empresa. Além disso, o modelo possibilita o estabelecimento da relação entre o mindset do cliente e a avaliação do desempenho de marca no mercado, comparando a marca de seus concorrentes. A integração entre valor da marca baseado no consumidor e valor da marca baseado na firma permite estimar o retorno financeiro das ações de marketing, verificando a contribuição de cada um dos condutores (consciência de marca, qualidade percebida, lealdade à marca, valor percebido, personalidade da marca e associações organizacionais) ao valor marca.Although there is a consensus about brand equity importance, a single, uniformly accepted estimation model has not yet emerged, neither from consumer-based brand equity or firm or financial-based brand equity perspectives. Hence, marketing professionals are still challenged to estimate the value of the brand. Furthermore, it is important to build a brand equity estimation model, which detects the consumers’ perceptions and also presents a monetary estimation of brand equity, satisfying shareholders’ requirements. Most of the existent consumer-based brand equity models do not offer a monetary estimation of brand equity and many firm-based brand equity models do not observe consumers’ perceptions. Most of them do not evaluate the brands’ performance in future periods of time. This research developed a model that permits estimation of brand equity observing the consumers’ brand choices probabilities (purchase maintenance and brand-switching), by applying the Markov Matrix. The brand-switching matrix was estimated by a cross-sectional survey, using a logit choice model, analyzing all competing brand. This research also investigated the monetary value of the brand, using the discounted cash flow mechanism. Our model allows the calculation of the value of the brand of a product, in particular, as well as the calculation of the company's brand. Our model enables the establishment of the link between customer mindset and evaluating the performance of brand in market, comparing the brand to its competitors. The integration between consumer-based brand equity and firm or financial-based brand equity allows the estimation of the financial return of marketing actions, checking the contribution of each of the drivers (brand awareness, perceived quality, brand loyalty, perceived value, brand personality and organizational associations) in brand equity.

Previous issue date: 1995-09-05T00:00:00ZO trabalho desenvolvido objetiva identificar e descrever comportamentos e reações de consumidores face às percepções de marcas. A partir de suas percepções sobre as marcas estudadas, são identificados os principais traços que compõem suas personalidades e, diante disso, são estudadas as reações mercadológicas derivadas da relações emocionais existentes entre marca e consumidor. A conjunção de teorias propostas, sobretudo pela psicologia e pelas terias de administração de marcas, somadas ao pensamento implícito à teoria da estratégia de diferenciação de Michael Porter, representam a síntese da proposta para os trabalhos' aqui desenvolvidos. Para ilustrar e validar a metodologia proposta será apresentado um estudo de caráter qualitativo, representando elementos das decisões de adoção de marcas dentro do setor têxtil, focando- as estratégias de aquisição de licenças internacionais, conhecidas e consolidadas, objetivando o fortalecimento do share no mercado brasileiro. Como veremos a seguir, o uso apropriado de marcas já 'maduras' cria oportunidades de se destacar frente a mercados altamente competitivos e onde há poucas oportunidades de diferenciação de produtos, sendo portanto ideal para a sua aplicação no setor apresentado, o têxtil, por ser caracterizado por sua dificuldade em apresentar diferenciações dos produtos frente a concorrência, onde as coleções lançadas são muito semelhantes entre si, e onde os critérios objetivo tais como o de modelagem, matéria I prima, qualidade de acabamento, etc, passam a serem preteridos ao consumidor final frente a critérios subjetivos tais como a roupa da moda, a marca do momento

The lack of differentiation between firms in the South African architectural industry has
led to the virtual commodification of architectural services. This commodification has
resulted in increased competition and decreased profitability in the industry (Allix, 2012).
The objective of this research is to explore the manner in which B2B architectural firms
in South Africa and the Netherlands use brand identity to build the foundation of brand
equity, in order to secure competitive advantage, by differentiating themselves. In
contrast to South African firms, Dutch architectural firms receive the highest
compensation and employees receive the third highest salaries in the industry in the
European Union. This research thus examines the differences between B2B
architectural firms in South Africa and the Netherlands, through the lens of the B2B
Service Brand Identity Network by Coleman, de Chernatony and Christodoulides (2011)
and the B2B Consumer-Based Brand Equity model (Kuhn, Nigel & Pope, 2008).
A qualitative study was conducted, involving in-depth interviews with eight South African
and five Dutch architectural firms. A deductive and subsequent inductive analysis was
conducted on the data, using the computer assisted qualitative data analysis software
Atlas.ti. The study found that Dutch firms concentrated more on resonance with their
communities, while South African firms focussed on building credibility through brand
judgement. Both countries showed a lack of formal resource allocation to branding and
a lack of formal incentives to employees. Two new themes were identified in relation to
brand identity in this industry. Consequently, the study proposes a new version of the
B2B Service Brand Identity Network. This proposal provides a brand identity network for
B2B service firms which produce tangible objects as a result.Mini Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

Full textAbstract:
The power of brands like Coke, Levi's and Nike defies conventional understanding. How do such strong brands get created? What are the sources of their phenomenal strength? The traditional thinking reflected in the brand literature traces the sources of brand strength to the consumer's cognitive knowledge of brand's functional and image attributes, and other associations linked to the brand. I draw upon past research in marketing and social psychology to propose a user-centered view of brand strength. I suggest that loyal consumers actively create 'brandspaces' based on personal, social and cultural factors. These brand knowledge structures may be more insular since they are self generated and anchored in the personal and social self of the user. In Essay 1 of this dissertation, I take the user-centered approach to propose a method for mapping and measuring consumer-based brand equity. I developed a structural model for the sneakers product category with five consumer-based sources of brand equity ('functional attributes','brand image','appeal', 'self-brand relationship', and 'perceived popularity') as independent variables, and study their impact on a four indicator measure of brand equity. In Essay 2, I investigate the role of self-brand relationship schema in promoting insularity of strong brands. I hypothesize that strong brand users, who have high self-brand relationship, suppress or discount negative brand information, as compared to strong users who have low self-brand relationship. Experimental results confirm this central hypothesis. This study clearly shows the centrality of self-brand relationship in promoting brand insularity and brand strength.

Mestrado em MarketingA medição do valor dos lugares enquanto marcas através da place brand equity tem vindo a ser desenvolvida tanto por investigadores como por empresários. Neste estudo é avaliada a brand equity da vila de Óbidos, numa perspetiva turística, e investiga-se a relação que as dimensões de brand equity (imagem, notoriedade, qualidade e lealdade) estabelecem com a intenção de visitar a vila de Óbidos e de a recomendar a amigos e familiares. Para além disso, estuda-se a influência que a visita aos eventos promovidos pela vila de Óbidos exerce sobre as diferentes dimensões de brand equity. Através de um questionário lançado online foi possível obter respostas a um conjunto diversificado de questões que procuravam responder a estas necessidades de investigação. Os resultados do estudo demonstraram que as dimensões imagem e lealdade exercem uma influência positiva sobre a intenção de visitar, sendo que a imagem influencia também a intenção de recomendar a visita à vila. Verificou-se que a visita a eventos da vila de Óbidos pode ser um impulsionador da lealdade face à vila por parte dos inquiridos. No caso particular do Mercado Medieval de Óbidos, observou-se que a presença neste evento exerce uma influência positiva sobre as avaliações dos inquiridos das dimensões imagem, qualidade e lealdade e sobre a sua intenção de visitar a vila.
The measurement of places' value through place brand equity has been developed both by researchers and by managers. In this study, the brand equity of the town of Óbidos, in a tourism perspective, is evaluated. It is also investigated the effect of brand equity's dimensions (image, awareness, quality and loyalty) on the intention of visiting Óbidos and recommending it to family and friends. Furthermore, it is studied the effect that visiting town sponsored events might have on the different dimensions of brand equity. Through the use of an online survey, it was possible to obtain answers to a set of questions that attempted to fulfil these investigation needs. The results of the investigation have shown that the image and the loyalty dimensions have a positive influence on visiting intention and that image also influences the intention to recommend the town. Amongst the respondents, the visit to Óbidos' events proved to be a potential boost of loyalty towards the town. In the particular case of Óbidos' Medieval Market, it was observed that this event has a positive influence on the image, quality and loyalty dimensions and also on the respondents' intentions of visiting Óbidos.

Full textAbstract:
Background Keller (2009) states that brand equity and the crucial intangiblevalue a brand brings to organizations is perhaps one of the most important marketing topics discussed in recent years. As the competitive market and branding environment for companies are fierce, the sport industry has gradually become more competitive and professional in many aspects of their operations as well. Researchers have gone to the extent of claiming that a brand is the most important asset of a sports team and that the brand provides direction and meaning for sports associations as well as for their followers. Still, market studies have indicated that sport associations often lack appropriate branding strategies and particularly for teams below the professional level, research have been limited in these areas. Purpose The purpose of this thesis is to examine what strategies and actions lower level Swedish ice hockey teams use in order to create and strengthen their brand. Method A hermeneutic view and inductive approach have been applied for this thesis. The purpose and research questions of this thesis have been answered with the help of seven qualitative, semistructured in-depth interviews with lower level sport club managers. Frame of reference Theory is based on two approaches to how teams can build and leverage their brand. While a model by Richelieu (2003) illustrates a strategic construction of the sports brand, the Spectatorbased brand equity model by Ross (2006) is more concerned with how controllable and uncontrollable factors contributes to the two main components of spectator based brand equity, namely brand awareness and brand associations. Conclusions The conclusion withholds the answer to the four research questions and purpose designed for this thesis. The findings indicate that teams are starting to realize the importance of a strong brand, particular to meet increased customer expectations for the game experience are considered important to create positive brand associations. An important finding have been the lack of communication and interaction teams seem to have with their customers in order to establish a clear brand identity and position in the market. The findings also indicate some characteristics particular to the lower level setting e.g. the dependence on volunteer workers and how the lack of long-term financial responsibility have impacted the management and development of a strong brand.

Full textAbstract:
Denna uppsats behandlar varumärkesassociationer samt dess påverkan på varumärkeskapital. Uppsatsen är genomförd som en fallstudie och undersöker hur det svenska telekommunikationsföretaget Tre tolkar konsumenters associationer till varumärket Tre. Detta jämförs sedan med de varumärkesassociationer som föreligger kring Tres varumärke på marknaden. Varumärkesassociationer formas primärt hos konsumenter och är således inte enbart en process som företag styr. Detta innebär dock inte att associationerna är opåverkbara från företagets sida. En central faktor som påverkar skapandet av varumärkesassociationer har i denna uppsats påvisats vara konsumenters kontakt med företaget, där framförallt den första kontakten tenderar att forma associationerna. Konsumenter behöver inte ha en personlig relation till varumärket för att forma sina associationer då word-of-mouth har visat sig ha en stor påverkan på skapandet och spridandet av varumärkesassociationer. Företags varumärkeskapital gynnas av många samt positivt betingade varumärkesassociationer. För det i uppsatsen studerade företaget tenderar dock en majoritet av de kartlagda associationerna att vara negativa, vilket i sin tur har tenderat att skada det totala varumärkeskapitalet. En annan intressant aspekt av detta är att många bärare av dessa negativa associationer inte själva har en personlig erfarenhet av företaget. Detta understryker kraften av word-of-mouth samtidigt som det betonar vikten av att som företag ha en välarbetad kundstrategi då den har en direkt påverkan på företagets varumärkeskapital. I många framträdande teorier beskrivs det att förmedling av varumärkesassociationer gynnas av att framhäva emotionella faktorer, då dessa sägs ha en djupare påverkan på människors värderingar än vad funktionella faktorer har. Vad uppsatsens empiri dock har kunnat påvisa är att detta är svårt i en teknikorienterad bransch då konsumenter värderar funktionella faktorer högre än emotionella. De funktionella faktorerna tenderar även att ha en stor betydelse för varumärkesassociationer. Uppsatsen presenterar avslutningsvis en nyskapad figur vilken sammanfattar strategiskt betydelsefulla områden som Tre fördelaktigt kan använda sig av för att skapa ett starkt varumärkeskapital.In this paper brand associations are examined, along with its impact on brand equity. The thesis is completed as a case study and examines what the Swedish telecommunication company Tre believes are the markets associations of their brand. This is later compared with the consumers actual associations with the brand Tre. Brand associations are primarily formed by consumers and are thus not only a process of corporate governance. This does not mean that the associations are impossible to influence by the company. The result of this study has shown that a key factor influencing the creation of brand associations is consumers’ contact with the company, where especially the first contact tends to form associations. Consumers do not need to have a personal relationship with the brand to form their associations as word-of-mouth has been shown to have a major impact on the creation and distribution of brand associations. Brand equity grows stronger by many and positively charged brand associations. However, for the company Tre, the majority of the identified associations are seen as negative, which in turn tend to harm the overall brand equity. Another interesting aspect of this is that many carriers of these negative associations do not have a personal experience with the company. This underlines the power of word-of-mouth, while emphasizing the importance to have a well-made customer strategy as it has a direct impact on the company's brand equity. Mediation of brand associations is in many prominent theories described favored by highlighting emotional factors as they are said to have a deeper impact on human values than functional factors. This has, by this study´s empirical thesis, shown to be difficult in a technology-oriented industry where consumers value the functional factors higher than the emotional factors. The functional factors also tend to have a important influence on brand associations. The conclusion of this paper presents a new figure that summarizes strategically important areas for the company Tre to create stronger brand equity.

Recent research on links between dimensions of consumer-based brand equity, as well as links to consumer involvement, has shown that it is a significant predictor of purchase behavior.
The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the affect brands have on consumer involvement. We attempt to investigate how consumer-based brand equity affects the level of consumer involvement.
Based on consumer behavior theory and previous research of these areas, gathered primary data (an empirical investigation of students’ attitudes) is analyzed to gain an understanding of how the aforementioned concepts relate to each other.
The findings indicate that there are correlations between consumer-based brand equity and consumer involvement, and that there is more to investigate in this area. Suggestions for further research include a similar study with more measured variables for each dimension, and analyzing them separately instead of creating indexes.
The results of this dissertation may be useful for marketers and manufacturers of the specific products investigated, as well as products of similar nature, in order to apply focus to the attributes which consumers value most.

Abstract In prior research has addressed relationship between advertising and financial performance, it is not consistent enough to draw a clear conclusion how advertising influences financial performance of the firm. This research develops a conceptual framework and tests whether brand equity mediates the relationship between advertising and financial performance (i.e., sales and market value). If advertising can play a key role in developing and maintaining brand equity and financial performance, it should be considered an investment rather than an expense. Advertising can contribute directly to brand equity and indirectly to financial performance and how much value advertising can deliver to brands and firms. The results show support for this framework. The findings of the research showed that advertising can not only work to improve market performance measures but also to develop and maintain brands. Firms that are viewed more favorably for their advertising enjoy higher financial performance, and a firm’s brand equity level mediates this influence of advertising on financial performance. Notably, this research finds the results of the mediator (brand equity) offering important implications for marketing theory and practice.

Brand elements are one of the important methods to build brand equity. However each brand element has certain strengths and weaknesses. Thus, marketers must combine brand elements by choosing different brand elements to achieve different objectives and make sure they can match brand each other. The purpose of this study firstly attempts to explore the impact of brand elements, including brand names, logos & symbols, characters, slogans, and packages, on brand equity. Second is to compare if there is any different impact on brand equity under the different combination of brand elements. And the third is to discuss under what kind of situation brand equity will be the maximum. For the purpose, this study uses a between subject design to test the hypotheses. The control factors of the hypotheses contain: 1.brand name (meaningful naming vs. meaningless naming), 2.shape (beautiful vs. normal), 3.character (with vs. without), 4.slogan (with vs. without), 5.logo & symbol (with vs. without). Above factors compose 2×2×2×2×2 experimental design. Undergraduate students are recruited as research subject via convenience sampling, result to 1025 effective samples.

The establishment and management of brand equity depend on the results of valuing and measuring on brand associations more to give the directions to the enterprises on sales marketing. Until now, there are few researches on brand equity and the research of measuring variation which bases on brand associations are also sare. Therefore, this research mainly discusses the relations and influences between brand equity and brand associations. This research focuses on brand associations and bases on consumer’s perspective to measure the differences between high and low equity brands from number of associations、positive associations、uniqueness of associations、origin of associations、favorability of associations and strength of associations belong to brand respectively. Further, we integrate the reasons of the differences the research found and the superiority、inferiority of high、low brand to suggest to brand management. This research targets at college students. Thus, we choose some consumptive products which are much more used by students to discuss respectively, like: cell phone, canned beverage/coffee, western fast food chain store, chewing gum, credit card, shampoo, sports shoes and chocolate. The thesis concludes that number of associations、uniqueness of associations、direct use of association origin、favorability of associations and strength of associations are significant. That is consumers face high equity brands have more number of associations、unique associations、high rate of direct use、favorability of associations and strength of associations than low equity brands.

Dissertação de mestrado em Marketing, apresentada à Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra, sob a orientação de Arnaldo Matos Coelho.In a world of global competition that we are living nowadays, brands are each time more used by companies as a strategy to create value and differentiation and this way to be one step ahead of their rivals. A "brand" is the result of the recognition and the personal attachment that forms in the hearts and minds of the customers through their accumulated experience with that “brand”. These experiences contribute to increased consumer trust and loyalty and allow building strong relationships with the “brand”. By this way, “brands” promote the increase of shareholder value and establish a long-term advantage in the marketplace for organisations. Companies recognise that strong brands are and have been historically associated with accelerated revenue growth and improved returns to shareholders. That is why, each time more organisations focus their strategies on building powerful brands as they represent competitive advantage and they are a key success factor in creating value to the customer and at the same time value to the company. In this regard, this study intends to show how effective brand strategy and brand communication contribute to build brand equity and consequently create a strong brand. For this purpose, the case study of Navigator was chosen, being a good example to show how the brand has been managed to become a powerful brand in the premium office paper segment.

The main purpose of this study was to understand the management way of the cellular phone’s brand to influence the brand equity, synthesis of the former correlation research about brand equity, focusing on the cellular phone industry , and also discussed the correlation of the management way of the cellular phone’s brand and brand equity .Hoping this study may bring useful value for the following researcher. Results of this research were as follows: the aspect of the cellular phone’s manufacturer brand influencing on the brand equity, the Sony Ericsson’s total brand equity is the highest and the feeling degree of perceived quality is the best, this also expressed this brand image as well as the service quality can let the consumer trust; In the aspect of the cellular phone’s manufacturer’s management way influencing on the brand equity, the brand equity of original equipment manufacturing obviously is higher than the brand equity of original brand manufacturing, therefore when the original equipment manufacturing’s manufacturer draws their marketing strategy , they should make a greater effort for their perceived quality . Because no matter in the aspect of “perceived quality ” and “brand association” and “brand awareness “, the brand equity of original equipment manufacturing is higher than the brand equity of original brand manufacturing .Moreover, the aspect of life-style and cellular phone’s brand influencing on the brand equity, speaking of the whole situation, four different life-style colony''s consumers and the cellular phone’s manufacturer brand influencing on the brand equity, its interactive effect are not significantly. Perhaps the sample mostly aims at the university student, and nowadays the popular rate of cellular phone is high, therefore young groups regarding the cellular phone’s manufacturer’s management way, although their life-style has difference, but limited their consuming ability, so response of the brand equity has no significant influences. Suggesting to the following research person, may expand the consuming grouping to do more deeply research. Finally, the relationships between the population statistic variables and the brand equity, results of this research were as follows: the cellular phone’s brand with consumers that have different background such as sex、marriage、age、the educational background、the monthly disposable income influencing on “perceived quality ” and “brand association” and “brand awareness”, its interactive effect are not significantly. It perhaps the sample mostly aims at the university student and the graduate student, so that the sample of study homogeneity is excessively high, its background are close, therefore this five variables are not significantly to the brand equity. On the other hand also know these young groups to“perceived quality ” and “brand association” and “brand awareness” these three brand equity’s aspects have the uniformity attitude, therefore, when manufacturer draws the marketing strategy, they may regard these young groups as the same consuming group.

Thesis (M.M. (Strategic Marketing))--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, Graduate School of Business Administration, 2014.Social marketing has a different objective to commercial marketing. Social marketing seeks to change behaviour for social good, whereas commercial marketing endeavours to maximise profit on the sale of goods and services. Within social marketing, the tool of a brand is often deployed but there is little understanding of the similarities and differences between brands in social marketing campaigns and brands in commercial marketing campaigns. The research explored this, and proposed a new term ‘social brand’ to specifically distinguish a brand used in a social marketing campaign. Further, the research sought to define a ‘social brand’ and outline its specific and nuanced role, and means of measurement. The research entailed conducting a literature review on both branding and social marketing, followed by in-depth discussions with expert participants. Following interrogation of the data, it was confirmed that social brands are indeed different from commercial brands in that their focus is on behaviour to achieve social good, and not to optimise profit. Following this finding, the role and measurement of social brands was explored, and it was found that social brands act as reminders of, and catalysts for, specific behaviours and that this can be useful in bringing the community together to create broad societal change. In addition, the measurement of social brands borrowed from commercial brand equity constructs, but it was determined that the context of social brands affected the application of these constructs. The research highlights that not all brands are the same, and this has led to the introduction of a new type of brand, the ‘social brand’. By further defining this type of brand, there is increased awareness in the specific objectives and role of the social brand, which will lead to improved development and application of the social brand.
