As the re-entry (Spencer-Brown, 1972) of magic into brand management, glamour helps media companies to break free from the classical brand engineering concept and offers an aestheticization that might add value—and allure. But it also asks for a reinterpretation of some cherished concepts as glamorous brands are defined through a punctum, an extra, a rainbow-moment—and those are difficult to plan, predict, and produce. Certainties might fade away, but in return (media) brands could stand out.

Hieran ansetzend wird die Fragestellung untersucht, ob und wie sich diese Assoziationen abhangig vom Alter (bzw. der kognitiven Entwicklungsstufe des Menschen) verandern. Dabei wird zwischen Exemplern und Beliefs als den wesentlichen Dimensionen von Assoziationen unterschieden. Eine Studie mit 172 Probanden (Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene), die Collagen zu einer Marke (Adidas bzw. McDonalds) erstellten, zeigt, dass mit zunehmend hoherer Entwicklungsstufe die Bedeutung der Belief-Assoziationen steigt. Begrundet werden kann dieses Ergebnis mit der in Abhangigkeit des Alters zunehmenden Fahigkeit des Menschen zur Abstraktion.

The results yielded several key findings: first, the importance of consu-mers' brand and product fit assessment for the outcome of their evaluations of brand alli-ances was confirmed. Second, an interaction effect between consumers' knowledge and their weighting of their product fit, as well as brand-fit judgments in their brand alliance evaluations was identified. This indicates that experts focus primarily on product-related information in brand-alliance evaluations, while novices focus on brand-related informa-tion in such evaluations. These findings were replicated in a second study (112 partici-pants) which relied on different types of brand alliances, re...

A Bayesian, finite-mixture, structural equation model is developed that identifies latent logo clusters while accounting for heterogeneity in evaluations. The concomitant variable approach allows cluster probabilities to be country specific. Rather than a priori defined clusters, our procedure provides a posteriori cross-national logo clusters based on consumer response similarity. Our model reduces the 10 countries to three cross-national clusters that respond differently to logo design dimensions: the West, Asia, and Russia. The dimensions underlying design are found to be similar across countries, suggesting that elaborateness, naturalness, and harmony are universal design dimensions. Responses (affect, shared meaning, subjective familiarity, and true and false re...

The resulting taxonomy identifies three distinct dimensions of varying directions and impacts on CPE, with the personal interest of the evaluating person moderating and mediating the dimensions' slopes: (1) Monovalent ethical dissatisfiers which have a negative effect; (2) Bivalent ethical dis/satisfiers that either favorably or unfavorably influence ethical perceptions, commensurate with a company's efforts; and (3) Monovalent ethical satisfiers, capable of generating a positive impact. The achievement of positive CPE appears highly challenging for a variety of reasons identified. Only one instance of perceived misconduct can be sufficient to contaminate a company/brand's CPE, despite otherwise exemplary behavioral records or altruistic engagement. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications for managers and academics.
