본 연구는 소비자의 브랜드 컨셉(상징적 vs. 기능적)과 브랜드확장의 관계에서 제품의 기술 또는 브랜드 출처를 알려주는 지식재산신념(특허신념 vs. 상표신념)의 역할을 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위해 프리테스트를 통해 3개의 제품범주(시계, 가방, 자동차)에서 각각 2개의 모(母)브랜드(롤렉스 vs. 카시오, 프라다 vs. 코치, 벤츠 vs. 도요타)와 3개의 확장제품(팔찌, 구두, 오토바이)을 자극물로 선정하여, 전국의 성인남녀를 대상으로 296개의 표본을 수집하여 부적절한 응답지를 제외한 290개(남=143, 여=147)를 최종 분석하였다. 우리는 연구를 통해 제품의 브랜드 컨셉과 브랜드확장의 관계에서 상표신념은 매개역할을 하지만, 소비자의 특허신념은 매개역할을 하지 않는다는 것을 확인했다. 또한, 소비자의 사고방식은 브랜드컨셉과 브랜드확장의 관계를 특허신념의 매개로 조절한다는 것도 밝혔다. 본 연구는 기존연구와는 달리 모브랜드 컨셉에 따른 소비자의 브랜드 확장태도에서 지식재산신념의 매개역할을 밝혔다는 점에서 이론적 시사점을 제공하며, 모브랜드의 컨셉과 소비자의 사고방식에 따른 소비자의 지식재산신념 구축이 기업의 지속적인 성장과 시장경쟁력을 가져다준다는 실무적 시사점을 제공한다. 본 연구는 모브랜드 컨셉에 따른 브랜드 확장의 성공을 위해, 기업이 준비해야 할 지식재산을 명확히 밝힘으로써 기업의 브랜드 가치를 높이는데 일조할 수 있으리라 본다.

Recently, some fashion retailers have initiated sustainable actions in the form of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities to address consumers' social concerns. This study intends to combine the concept of CSR motivation attributions with brand extension literature in order to examine how consumers' trust of a parent brand affects their CSR motivation attributions and ultimately their attitudes towards parent-brand CSR activities and sustainable extension lines. A self-administered online survey was conducted using scenarios describing a fast fashion retailer introducing a sustainable line. Data from 303 female U.S. consumers, aged between 18 and 34 years, were used for the statistical analysis. Data analyses were conducted using SPSS 21.0 for descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and regression analysis. The results revealed that all hypotheses were supported. The findings show that consumers' trust of a parent brand has an indirect impact on positive attitudes towards the parent brand's CSR activities as well as the sustainable extension product line, mediating positive evaluations of the brand's social CSR motivations. In addition, this study suggests consumers' prior trust of the parent brand is a variable that affects consumers' evaluation of CSR motivation sincerity. Marketing suggestions and thoughts based on the findings of this study were provided.

This paper was motivated by two gaps in the extant literature on brand portfolio planning. First, research has shown that, as the number of products connected to a brand increases, the extended product receives more favorable evaluations. However, this result was obtained by comparing two brands with different number of products while controlling the brands' breadths. Hence one may question if the above result would hold when the brand is narrow as well as broad. Second, the literature has investigated the effect of brand breadth on the perceived fit and evaluations of an extended product within a relatively limited range ("narrow vs. broad") and not considered the case of a "very broad" brand. To address these gaps, we propose two hypotheses: 1) the effects of the number of products associated with a brand on the perceived fit and evaluations of a moderately far brand extension are moderated by the brand's breadth (H1); and 2) the relationship between a brand's breadth and a moderately far extension's perceived fit and evaluations looks like an inverse-U shape (H2). Study 1 was conducted to test H1. Study 1 employed a 2 × 2 within-subjects design in which the first factor was the number of products (small (2) or large (5)), and the second factor was brand breadth (narrow or broad). We measured brand breadth as the perceived similarity among products associated with a brand. Participants provided the perceived fit and evaluations of an extended product. Study 2 was conducted to test H2 as well as to replicate Study 1 in a more general setting and with different products. It employed a 2 × 3 within-subjects design, in which the first factor was the number of products (small (2) or large (5)), and the second factor was brand breadth (narrow, broad, or very broad). The results from two experiments support both hypotheses. This paper contributes to the literature on brand extensions in two ways. First, it broadens our understanding of the effects of product number and brand breadth on extended product evaluations by considering the two factors jointly. Second, we believe this study to be the first to present evidence that brand breadth can exert an inverted U-shape effect on the perceived fit and evaluations of an extended product. The results also offer implications for marketers. First, marketers should heed the finding that adding similar products to a narrow brand does not help the brand's extension launch. Second, the finding that the relationship between brand breadth and extended product evaluations might not be linear provides practical implications. While a narrow brand should not keep launching close extensions, nor should a broad brand continue producing far extensions to broaden its breadth. A firm with a broad corporate or family brand might want to consider introducing a new brand instead of adding dissimilar products under the brand umbrella.

Although smartwatches are different from smartphones in shape and carried method, they are also highly relevant to smartphones and have similar characteristics. This paper studied the impact of using smartphones on the intention to use smartwatches from the perspective of brand extension. The hypotheses were that the major factors of the attitude formed in the process of using smartphones affect the intention of using them and affect the trust of smartwatches. As a result of testing the hypotheses, trust in smartphonees affected trust in smartwatches. And the intention to use smartphones and the trust of smartwatches affected the intention to use smartwatches. However, the satisfaction, familiarity, and favorability of smartphones did not affect the trust of smartwatches. Smartwatches were associated with smartphones but they had independent characters. Based on the results of the study, the trust of smartwatches is very important, so the corporate managers need to find ways to improve their trust. And they should find strategies to improve the value of the product by finding out the factors that can increase the intention of using smartwatches.
