Track Description:
Given the premise “brand equity…accrue to a product with its brand name compared with those that would accrue if the same product did not have the brand name” (Aaker, 1991), branding has been enticing many scholars and practitioners. Since technology has progressed dramatically in the past 20 years, companies today operate under a different mindset regarding branding.
