Zusammenfassung

Die Differenzierung des eigenen Leistungsangebots von Wettbewerberangeboten stellt für Anbieter von Commodities eine zentrale Herausforderung dar. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie mit Hilfe von Marken einer Commoditisierung von Leistungen entgegengewirkt werden kann. Der zentrale Untersuchungsgegenstand ist dabei das Konstrukt Markenrelevanz als Ausdruck für die Bedeutung einer Marke als Kaufentscheidungskriterium des Nachfragers. Basierend auf einer Bestandsaufnahme existierender Untersuchungen zur Markenrelevanz bei Commodities und einer Diskussion theoretischer Erklärungsansätze erarbeitet der Beitrag ein Modell, das Determinanten und Wirkeffekte der Markenrelevanz bei Commodities zusammenfasst. Der Beitrag postuliert vier Thesen und diskutiert weiteren Forschungsbedarf hinsichtlich der Relevanz von Marken für Commodities.
