The purpose of this study is to address marketing strategies for the brand extension of university-licensed merchandise by investigating influences on intent to purchase a new university-licensed merchandise line, tartan. A survey questionnaire was developed and administered online to the major target market for university-licensed merchandise. Four hundred and fifty students and alumni from a US Midwestern university completed the survey. Respondents were asked to answer questions on university identification, perceived university prestige, perceived value of the university-licensed merchandise, intent to purchase a brand extension in university-licensed merchandise, and demographics. It was hypothesized that university identification (H1) and perceived university prestige (H2) are positively related to the perceived value of the university-licensed merchandise and that perceived value of the university-licensed merchandise is positively related to intent to purchase a brand extension in university-licensed merchandise (H3). The difference between students and alumni was also tested. Consumers with high university identification and high perceived university prestige highly valued the university-licensed merchandise. Consumers who perceived a high value of the current university-licensed merchandise displayed a strong intent to purchase a brand extension in university-licensed merchandise. There was no structural difference between the two groups. The study builds on existing research on the influences of attitudes toward the university and university-licensed merchandise on purchasing university-licensed merchandise, specifically investigating intent to purchase a brand extension in university-licensed merchandise. This study also extends previous brand-extension research into university-licensed merchandise.

M&A 과정, 특히 인수 후 통합에 관한 기존의 연구는 내부 조직의 통합에 중점을 두어 왔는데, 본 연구는 백화점 간의 인수합병 과정에서 브랜드 네임 및 회원 제도의 통합 사례에 대한 분석을 통해 양사의 브랜드와 고객의 통합 과정이 어떻게 이루어지며, 그 과정에서 무엇이 중요한지를 보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 유통학문의 연구방법론 중 규범적 연구방법론이나 경험적 분석기법에 적용되는 사례연구의 접근법을 적용하여, 인수합병을 통해 두 회사의 브랜드 네임과 회원 제도를 통합한 기업을 선정하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 인수합병 과정의 브랜드와 고객 측면의 통합을 위해서는 양사의 브랜드 및 고객 관리 현황에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 주요 통합 영역을 설정하여 고객과 기업의 양쪽 측면에서 의사결정을 고려해야 한다는 것, 통합의 목표를 단기적인 사업 효율성 추구가 아니라 장기적인 브랜드 파워와 구체적인 시너지 등으로 추구해야 한다는 것, 브랜드의 통합과 회원 제도의 통합은 사업 전략과 마케팅 프로그램 등의 변화를 유발하기 때문에 구체적인 후속 프로그램이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 단일 기업을 대상으로 한 서술식 사례 연구라는 한계가 있어, 향후에는 복수 기업들의 비교분석적 연구나 브랜드 및 고객 통합 관련 이론들을 체계적인 분석의 틀로 이용하는 연구 등이 필요할 것이다.

Brands have begun to act without giving in to the challenges facing our society. Just like the slogan in the novel "The Three Musketeers" by Alexandre Dumas proclaimed, "All for one, one for all!" in the age of transmedia the success of brand activism must reflect the same principle. Specifically, by embracing the big as well as the little stories of consumers scattered everywhere, each and every one should create a huge resonance. This means that brands should use the cultural lever of transmedia so that the various stories of consumers do not fade into oblivion and, furthermore, expand the brand's call to action. By analyzing brand activism cases in business, this study explores the effectiveness of brand activism for advertisers to develop a better understanding of brand communication strategy. Building on findings that show new young generation consumers to favor brands that respond to social, political, and environmental issues and conceptual implications of the snowball effect, this study emphasizes consumer participation in the brand story creation process and the need for brands to aim for high standards of professionalism and accountability, so that they can grow together with their consumers.
