Abstract

Building a strong brand with significant equity provides a host of benefits for firms. Understanding the sources and outcomes of brand equity provides managers with information how and where brands add value. This article reviews measures of both sources and outcomes of brand equity and discusses a model of value creation, the brand value chain, as a holistic, integrated approach to understanding how to capture the value created by brands. The chapter also closes with issues in developing a brand equity measurement system.
