品牌延伸的学问

品牌延伸（BrandExtensions），按照菲利普·科特勒的定义是：把一个现有的品牌名称使用到一个新类别的产品上。它并不是简单地借用表面上的品牌名称，而是对整个品牌资产的策略性运用。目前，品牌延伸已经成为各种公司战略性发展的核心。一项针对美国超级市场商品的研究显示，过去十年来的成功品牌，有三分之二是属于产品延伸，而不是新品牌上市。这是因为，当消费者的经验与知识越丰富，越有自己的独特见解时，要上市新产品或改变消费者认知的代价就越昂贵。同时，在科技和信息发达的今天，要创造出产品或服务的实质物理性差异越来越困难…     

冠生园集团“大白兔”硬糖：品牌化决策的选择

本案例描述了冠生园集团＂大白兔＂硬糖系列的上市决策经过。＂大白兔＂品牌原只有牛奶软糖产品,而其主要的竞争对手先后纷纷推出了牛奶硬糖系列。冠生园集团为了适应市场变革、扩大市场份额,拟推出定位于年轻白领市场的＂大白兔＂硬糖系列＂优浓＂新品牌。在新产品上如何使用＂大白兔＂和＂优浓＂品牌名称就成为一个基本的决策问题。冠生园集团市场部采取比稿方式征求方案。最终,立新公司推荐担保品牌战略,强调广告口号与歌曲的方案脱颖而出。然而,＂优浓＂品牌推出市场6个月后,销量始终不太乐观。于是,冠生园集团市场部委托优迪咨询公司进行市场调查,探究个中原因。＂优浓＂品牌到底应该采用何种品牌化模式呢？     

品牌延伸策略的分析与应用

品牌延伸(BrandExtensions),是指将一个现有的品牌名称使用到一个新类别的产品上.而品牌延伸策略是把现有成功的品牌,用于新产品或修正过的产品上的一种策略.品牌延伸并非只简单借用表面上已经存在的品牌名称,而是对整个品牌资产的策略性使用.本田企业利用"本田"之名推出了许多不同类型的产品,如汽车、摩托车、铲雪车、割草机、轮机和雪车等;三菱从重工业一直延伸到汽车、银行、电子乃至食品业.此外,品牌延伸策略还包括产品线的延伸(LineExtension),即把现有的品牌名称使用到相同类别的新产品上,推陈出新,从而推出新口味、新色彩、新配方、新包装的产品.如"乐百氏"相继推出"乐百氏"AD钙奶、"乐百氏"健康快车等.

品牌延伸有陷阱

品牌名称是橡皮筋,你愈伸展一个名称,它就变得越疲弱。──一位营销专家的忠告目前,我国的许多企业都在热衷于品牌延伸。娃哈哈、太阳神、长虹、三九、万家乐、海信等都把原有品牌不断地用于新产品。也许这在短期内可以取得名牌效应：既节约了推出新品牌的费用,又可使新产品搭乘原品牌的声誉便车,很快得到消费者承认。然而,品牌延伸并非完美无缺,大量的失败案例的出现,以至于许多专家把品牌延伸视为陷讲。陷研之一,损害原品牌的高品质形象。如果把高档品牌使用在低档产品上,就可能堕入这种陷阶。早年,美国的“派克”钢笔质优价贵…     

零售商自有品牌构建策略

一、零售自有品牌概述1.自有品牌的含义自有品牌有很多的定义。在过去很多年,J.Walter Thompson的定义一直得到广泛使用:"以零售企业自己的品牌名称销售的产品,而该品牌只在该零售企业的门店中独家销售。"但现在,很多零售商和批发商使用不止一个名称来区别它们经营的自有品牌产品系列。并且,该类产品也不再只有零售企业自己的门店独家销售了。现在,尼尔森的定义包含了自有     

好名字让品牌插上翅膀

现代的品牌命名策略不单单是给某一产品取个名称,实际上,“品牌命名”是一种高难度的思考过程,是品牌定位的深入过程的开始。我们之所以说“品牌命名”,而不用“产品命名”,就是因为“命名的过程”是一个将市场、定位、形象、情感、价值等转化为营销力量并启动市场定位与竞争的过程。品牌名称,不是一个简单的记号,它能强化定位,参与竞争,而且还以其可能隐含的形象价值“使某一品牌获得持久的市场优势”。品牌命名的目的是让品牌名称尽可能直接地服务于营销,有以下这些基本的策略需要考虑:目标市场策略、产品定位策略、描述性与随意性的命名…     

给品牌补钙

近几年,许多企业依靠高知名度取得了暂时的成功,哈药集团、商务通、浙江纳爱斯、脑白金……,那么,一个品牌具备了高知名度就是否一定是强势品牌?是否做品牌就是仅做知名度呢?不是。世界最著名的品牌管理公司———美国奥美传播集团根据多年来对品牌的研究指出,一个强势品牌必须具备四大资产:品牌知名度、品牌认知度、品牌联想和品牌忠诚度。我国许多品牌在创立之初就患上了软骨病,在拥有高知名度的同时,却往往忽略了品牌其他资产的经营。而如果没有其他品牌资产的支撑,空有知名度的品牌在市场竞争中不会长久。秦池、爱多、三株之流就是很好…

The Impact of Business Strategies on Online Sustainability Disclosures

With increasing attention being paid to corporate sustainability, pressure from stakeholders, especially customers, is forcing companies to implement sustainability strategies and practices that express their commitment to sustainable development, and engage with stakeholders through voluntary sustainability disclosure. To better understand the sustainability disclosure mechanisms from a business strategy perspective, this study investigates the influence of business strategy, formulated by customer groups, on online sustainability disclosure. It provides empirical observation of Malaysian public‐listed companies based on the combined lens of stakeholder and legitimacy theory. Despite the comparatively low level of corporate sustainability disclosure in Malaysia, this content analysis of online sustainability information disclosure reveals that the companies with more diversified product lines disclose more sustainability information, and that the corporate sustainability effort is significantly related to brand name. Hence, companies should be encouraged to proactively improve their sustainability performance and disclose more sustainability information in order to strengthen their brand names.

The Visible Hands of Hierarchy within the M‐Form: An Empirical Test of Corporate Parenting of Internal Product Exchanges*

ABSTRACT In this paper, we dismiss the traditional contingency argument that corporate staff should have minimal involvement with the decisions that its divisions make, because predictability, which underlies this contingency logic, is erroneous for most large corporations at this time. We offer an alternative theory of corporate involvement for the M‐form: under unpredictable environments greater interdependence of corporate staff with divisional operating decisions may be necessary to create value for the corporation. Since corporate staff cannot be involved in all divisional affairs, we empirically explore when corporate involvement is most likely. Building on transaction cost economics and the strategy literature, we reason that corporate staff may selectively involve itself in business level strategy and operating decisions when product characteristics signal threats to effective inter‐divisional coordination as well as opportunities for value creation. To explore this topic, we surveyed corporate managers of Fortune 500 companies. The results suggest some initial support for our theoretical argument: corporate staff is more likely to involve itself in business‐level decisions for uncertain products. We further find that when corporate staff is responsible for the capital investments used for the divisional venture, it is more likely to guide and influence product strategy decisions and inter‐divisional conflicts. We do not find, however, consistent evidence that specialized assets or brand‐name reputation trigger corporate involvement. Implications and limitations are further discussed.     

Exploring the relationship between environmental orientation and brand value: is there fire or only smoke?

This paper investigates whether a firm's environmental orientation influences corporate brand value. In the discussion on sustainable development, corporate participation is a given, and increasingly firms are adopting environmental policies and practices. This paper observes corporate environmentalism from two perspectives: environmental embeddedness – the level to which environmental values are incorporated in brand identity; and environmental performance – the level of a firm's accordance with environmental policies and good practices. Cross‐analysis of these two perspectives generates four types of corporate environmental orientation: leaders, performers, advocates and laggards. The results do not provide conclusive evidence for whether consumers reward environmental leaders and punish environmental laggards by converting their environmental opinions into brand perceptions and purchasing decisions. It is believed that the hypothesized relationships are moderated and mediated by other stimuli, so managers are advised not to negate corporate social responsibility, but rather to invest wisely in environmental activities and its communication.

独立董事网络位置、税收规避与企业价值

独立董事的治理效果影响着上市公司的治理状况,本文从独立董事网络的声誉机制和信息传递机制出发,选取2008?2017年沪深A股上市公司作为研究样本,实证检验独立董事网络位置与企业税收规避的关系。研究发现:独立董事网络位置对企业税收规避有负向影响;与所处地区市场化程度较高的公司相比,所处地区市场化程度较低的上市公司独立董事网络中心度对公司税收规避程度的影响更强;管理层权力削弱了独立董事网络中心度对企业税收规避程度的抑制作用。进一步引入企业价值后发现,独立董事网络中心度可以抑制税收规避对企业价值的减损。本文的研究结果完善了税收规避行为价值的研究体系,也为研究独立董事是否有效发挥治理作用提供了新思路。

Institutional Constraints,Stakeholder Pressure and Corporate Environmental Reporting Policies

Within the theoretical framework of socio‐political economics, and more specifically of stakeholder theory, this work examines whether companies operating under different institutional constraints and stakeholder pressure tend to emphasize different models of corporate environmental reporting. Furthermore, the paper tests whether different corporate environmental reporting policies are driven by the countries' corporate governance systems. A sample of 3931 international companies was examined through a logistic biplot and conditional mean linear regression models. The main results reveal that companies follow two distinct environmental reporting approaches, which depend on specific stakeholders and institutional requirements. The first model, which is followed by firms within codified law countries, mostly focuses on water and emissions. The second approach, mainly followed by companies operating in common law countries, emphasizes materials and energy issues. This finding reveals that companies gradually modify their environmental strategies to make themselves more compatible with the characteristics of the social and institutional environment, which will result in several corporate benefits. The paper provides several outstanding implications for companies' strategic managers, national institutions and firms' stakeholders, especially for investors and customers.
