Brand management

Article Abstract:

A number of recent research studies explored issues surrounding brand management. Berthon et al. (1999) presented an overview of the challenges involved in brand management and highlighted the importance of internal initiatives aimed at satisfying external needs. Meanwhile, Gurhan-Canli and Maheswaran (1998) investigated the relationship between brand extensions and brand name while Grewal et al. (1998) studied the links between brand name and reputation, the retailer, the store name and pricing strategies. Finally, Silver (1999) conducted a study on branding in the consumer durables market, particularly the pricing of product variations bearing an identical brand identity. He looked into the impact of the product launch on the price of the earlier introduced brands as brands progress through its life cycle and new variations are made.
