This study is to verify the effect of similarity of expanded-product, brand concepts of parent-brands and implicit theory of customers on the brand-extension evaluation, in order to reduce the risk of brand extension. First, this research documents how the similarity between the parent-brands and expanded-products affect brand-extension evaluations as a main effect variable. Second, this study examines the moderating effect of the brand concepts of parent-brands on the brand-extension evaluation. Third, this research documents how implicit theories regarding personality affect consumer evaluations about the brand-extension. The study assumes and tests that consumers in the group of incremental theorists are more accepting of brand-extensions than consumers in the group of entity theorists. The result figures out the implicit theory customers has some moderating effect on the evaluations, yet the direction of the effects is contrary to expectations.

As SPA brands are growing in Korean apparel markets, they are extending their well-established brands into new markets (i.e., SPA brand extensions). To investigate psychological mechanism underlying SPA brand extensions, this study conceptually proposed such consumer information processing of SPA brand extensions as (1) perception of similarity between SPA brand extensions and their original brands and (2) evaluations on the SPA brand extensions (i.e., attitude and purchase intent). For hypothetical SPA brand extensions (high, moderate and low similarity conditions), perceived similarity was measured by using a eye-tracker and evaluations were assessed by using a self-reported questionnaire. The results reveal that the amount of external information searching for SPA brand extensions was larger in the following order: moderate, low and high similarity conditions. The depth of SPA brand information processing was also deeper in the same order. Evaluations on SPA brand extensions were higher in high and moderate similarity conditions than in low similarity condition. The findings suggest that the evaluations are affected by perceived similarity and the amount of cognitive efforts in processing SPA brand extensions.

In this study, we tried to find the moderating effect as an interaction between brand concept variables and thinking style variables as well as the main effect of each. To this end, the inner wear bradns, CalvinKlein(symbolic concepts) and bodyguard(functional concept), as two parent brands and wallets as an extension product were selected. The results of this study were as follows: (i) Extension evaluation as well as fit judgement based on brand concepts was higher in symbolic brand than functional brand. (ii) The holistic thinkers were higher in fit judgement and expansion evaluation than the analytic ones. (iii) In case of symbolic brand, there was little differences in fit judgement and expansion evaluation between holistic thinkers and analytic thinkers. But In functional brand, there was some differences relatively. So, we found the interaction effect between variables in fit judgement and expansion evaluation. We can expect this research result to be helpful in working out diverse and practical marketing strategies using existing brand concepts in the global market environments.

This study is to investigate the influence of brand benefit on brand extension, especially focusing on the mediating effect of trademark belief and the moderating effect of categorical similarity. This study restates that brand benefit affect consumers' brand extension attitude and confirms that it is completely mediated by trademark belief. In addition, this study finds that categorical similarity moderates the effects of brand benefit on brand extension attitude. The results of this study suggest a theoretical implication that trademark belief can be used as one of the brand extension strategies and a practical implication that the brand communication strategy based on brand benefits should be changed with the categorical similarity.

This study explores the effect of parent-brand attitude on the purchase intention of an extended brand for expanding a foodservice brand and the interaction effect between parent-brand attitude and perceived risk by fit for the purchase intention of an expanded brand using the proof analysis. As a result, the main effects among parent-brand attitude(F(1,295)=12.012, p<0.01), fit(F(1,295)=17,758, p<0.001), perceived risk(F(1,295)=12.570, p<0.01) and the purchase intention of an expanded brand were significant statistically. Also, for the purchase intention of an expanded brand, not only the effect of interactions between parent-brand attitude and perceived risk(F(1,295)=5.782, p<0.05) but the effect of interactions among parent-brand attitude, fit and perceived risk(F(1,295)=6.068, p<0.05) were significant. In addition, there was difference between parent-brand attitude to purchase intention and the interaction effect of perceived risk by the fit of an extended brand.

For this purpose, three parent brands (Rolex vs. Casio, Prada vs. Coach, Benz vs. Toyota) and three extension products (bracelets, shoes, vehicles) were selected as stimulants through focus group interviews and pre-tests. 296 sample data across the country were collected and the final analysis was conducted with 290 respondents except for the inappropriate respondents by SPSS 21.0. The results of this study confirm that the trademark meditates the relationship between belief brand concepts and brand extension and thinking style of consumers meditated-moderates between belief brand concepts and brand extension.
