Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Due to the fact that brand equity has received significant research attention, brand image in the customer-based brand equity framework, has been recognized as an important concept in marketing and consumer behavior research. While an increasing number of studies have focused on conceptualizing brand image, empirical research on brand image in the restaurant industry has been consistently criticized for deficiencies of theoretical grounding and conceptual rigor. Therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate ways in which brand image can be empirically measured so that researchers can effectively analyze the key variables related to it. The current study attempted to bridge this existing gap by developing an effective brand image measurement and model. Grounded in the foundation of marketing and hospitality literature as well Keller's customer-based brand equity framework, this study developed a conceptual model that explains the relationships between the antecedents and consequences of brand image. The objectives of this research are: 1) to develop reliable and valid scales to measure brand image in a restaurant context; 2) to propose an integrated model of the causal relationship between the antecedents and consequences of brand image, by relying on Keller's customer-based brand equity framework. Based on the proposed model, nine hypotheses were developed with six latent variables. Through focus group interviews and a pretest, the measurements were refined and the questionnaire used for the main study was developed. Data was analyzed using the 417 surveys. A Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in AMOS 17.0 were employed to evaluate the measurement model, to measure the model fitness of data and to test the research hypotheses and relationships among the latent constructs. The results from the main study revealed a significant relationship between mostly all constructs in the model except the relationship between brand image and attitudinal brand loyalty. The findings clearly showed the primary effect of brand awareness and brand familiarity as the antecedents to brand image. It was concluded that brand awareness drivers brand image, customer satisfaction, brand trust and attitudinal brand loyalty. Moreover, the results indicated the critical mediating effect of brand image between its antecedents and consequences. The study also highlighted the importance of customer satisfaction and trust in order to establishing a customer's attitudinal brand loyalty. From a theoretical perspective, this study developed a brand image scale and proposed an integrated model of brand image in customer-based brand equity framework in a casual dining restaurant context. The study also provides several managerial implications for chain restaurant managers and marketers by stressing the importance of brand image in the hospitality industry with a view to enhancing the marketers' understanding of the factors that may dilute or enhance brand image and thereby provide insights into brand equity management.

Download or read book The Antecedents and Consequences of Brand Citizenship Behavior written by Matthew S. Porricelli and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the antecedents and consequences of a fairly new construct in academic literature termed brand citizenship behavior. Constructs explored in the proposed model include brand identity, brand communication, internal marketing, brand pride, brand commitment, intention to stay and job satisfaction. A sample of 241 associates was surveyed at a large retail organization and key demographic variables were captured. Results indicate a causal relationship between internal marketing and brand citizenship behavior as well brand pride. While a causal link between brand citizenship behavior and brand commitment was not supported overall, permutations indicate causality among part time associates. Brand pride was found to mediate the relationship between brand citizenship behavior and brand commitment.

Book excerpt: This book focuses on the concept of “brand hate” and consumer negativity in today’s digital markets. It explores the emotional detachment consumers generate against valued brands and how negative experiences affect their and other consumers' loyalty. It is almost impossible not to run into hateful language about companies and their brands in today’s digital consumption spaces. Consumer hostility and hate is not hidden and silent anymore but is now openly shared on many online anti-brand websites, consumer social networking sites, and complaint and review boards. The book defines consumer brand hate and discusses its dimensions, antecedents, and consequences as well as the semiotics and legality of such brand hate activities based on current brand dilution arguments. It describes the situations which lead to anti-branding and how consumers choose to express their dissatisfaction with a company on individual and social levels. This newly updated edition discusses recent research findings from brand hate literature with new cases and extended managerial analysis. Thus, the book provides strategic perspectives on how to handle such situations to achieve better functioning markets for scholars and practitioners in marketing, psychology, and consumer behavior.

Book Antecedents and Consequences of Brand Authenticity

Download or read book Antecedents and Consequences of Brand Authenticity written by Melissa Minor and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Researchers in marketing, psychology and sociology have identified a desire for authenticity both in personal and consumption contexts. However, in marketing, research on authenticity is still generally considered exploratory, and much of the literature uses a qualitative approach to define the construct and its effects on consumer behavior. Whereas previous work has focused on how consumers authenticate products, services and experiences, this work will examine the role of brand authenticity in consumer decision making. In a set of nine experiments, I show that perceived brand authenticity affects brand-related cognitions such as perceived quality and willingness to pay and suggest a mechanism through which this effect occurs. Additionally, I investigate whether authenticity is uniformly beneficial for the brand.

Book Antecedents and Consequences of Customer   Company Identification

Download or read book Antecedents and Consequences of Customer Company Identification written by Michael Ahearne and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article presents an empirical test of organizational identification in the context of customer-company (C-C) relationships. It investigates whether customers identify with companies and what the antecedents and consequences of such identification are. The model posits that perceived company characteristics, construed external image, and the perception of the company's boundary-spanning agent lead to C-C identification. In turn, such identification is expected to impact both in-role behavior (i.e., product utilization) as well as extra-role behavior (i.e., citizenship). The model was tested in a consultative selling context of pharmaceutical sales reps calling on physicians. Results from the empirical test indicated that customers do indeed identify with organizations and that C-C identification positively impacts both product utilization behavior and extra-role behavior even when the effect of brand perception is accounted for. Second, the study found that the organization's characteristics as well as the salesperson's characteristics contributed to the development of C-C identification.
