Este estudo investigou o brand equity, entendido como “valor de marca” e sua influência na intenção de compra do consumidor. Ademais, este estudo também se propôs a analisar o efeito moderador do boca-a-boca (positivo e negativo) na relação entre o brand equity e a intenção de compra do consumidor, mais especificamente, na compra de produtos eletrônicos de alta tecnologia. O estudo empregou metodologia quantitativa e para testar as hipóteses propostas, realizou-se um survey online com 115 consumidores que adquiriram produtos eletrônicos. Os resultados dessa pesquisa apontam que a percepção de alto valor do brand equity da marca aumenta a intenção de compra do produto eletrônico quando o cliente recebe boca-a-boca positivo, mas não diminui a intenção de compra quando recebe boca-a-boca negativo. Portanto, implicações práticas aos gestores de marketing sugerem que o brand equity é uma estratégia fundamental para combater o boca-a-boca negativo, bem como potencializar o boca-a-boca positivo e assim ampliar as vendas. This study investigated brand equity, understood as "brand value" and its influence on the consumer's purchase intention. In addition, this study also proposed to analyze the moderating effect of word-of-mouth (positive and negative) on the relationship between brand equity and consumer intention to purchase, more specifically, in the purchase of high-tech electronic products. The study used a quantitative methodology and to test the proposed hypotheses, an online survey was conducted with 115 consumers who purchased electronic products. The results of this survey indicate that the perception of high brand equity value increases the purchase intention of the electronic product when the customer receives positive word-of-mouth and does not decrease when the customer receives negative word-of-mouth. Therefore, practical implications for marketing managers suggest that brand equity is a fundamental strategy to combat negative word-of-mouth, as well as to enhance positive word-of-mouth and thus increase sales.

Infant milk powder has always been one of the food categories most sensitive to safety reputation information. The safety reputation of Chinese infant milk powder has been seriously damaged due to the occurrence of safety accidents and the resulting consumers’ still-unrestored confidence is an important factor which restricts the dairy industry revitalization. Therefore, this paper analyzes the impact of reputation information on the formation of safety trust in Chinese infant milk powder, taking reputation information transmission as the starting point and consumer psychological perception as the researching perspective. A questionnaire survey was conducted and 685 valid questionnaires were collected. The structural equation model is adopted to verify the theoretical model and corresponding research hypothesis that reputation information affects the safety trust of Chinese infant milk powder. The reputation information transmitted between relatives and friends has a stronger effect on the formation of safety trust in Chinese infant milk powder than the media. The degree of media pursuit of “news effect” and negative word-of-mouth have a significant negative impact on the formation of safety trust in Chinese infant milk powder, while reputation quality, positive word-of-mouth and relationship strength have a significant positive impact on that. The quality of word-of-mouth perceived by consumers from highly involvement group, rational group, urban group and high-educated group has a stronger influence on the formation of safety trust. The degree of media pursuit of “news effect”, positive word-of-mouth, negative word-of-mouth and relationship strength perceived by consumers from low involvement group, emotional group, rural group and low-educated group have stronger influence on the formation of safety trust.

PurposeThis study aims to develop an all-encompassing model to analyse various aspects of atmospherics, including components of the museum space and its physical surroundings. Moreover, it evaluates whether the identified attributes of the “museumscape” affect the positive word of mouth of museum visitors.Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory study adopts a quantitative methodology. Data were collected through direct interviews with visitors at three Italian art museums and through a structured questionnaire. All dimensions were measured with multiple items on a five-point Likert scale. To assess the influence of the museumscape attributes on positive word of mouth, a structural equation model is performed adopting the two-stage testing procedure estimating the measurement model in the first stage and running a confirmatory factor analysis to assess reliability and demonstrate convergent and discriminant validity for all multi-item measures.FindingsSix attributes of the museumscape are delineated (ambient conditions; facilities and convenience; signs and signage; staff behaviour; art gallery quality; exhibition space aesthetics). The latter three positively influence visitors' positive word of mouth.Research limitations/implicationsThe study expands frameworks from previous service museum marketing research in general and service museum research on atmospherics in particular. The framework developed here identifies the direct predictive power of museumscape cues on positive museum visitor's word of mouth, thus increasing knowledge of the customer service experience and service quality and atmospherics management.Practical implicationsThe constructs discovered here may help museum managers to carefully design and manage the museumscape to enhance visitors' satisfaction and loyalty.Originality/valueThis study is the first application of servicescape theory in the museum context; previous applications focus on for-profit sectors.

This study integrates the research model developed by Ng et al., (2014), Chen (2010), and Bekk et al., (2016) and aims to analyze the antecedent and impact of green brand equity on Honda motorcycle with Programmable Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) technology in Surabaya. A theoretical model with hypothesized relationships is developed consisting of nine latent constructs: perceived quality of a brand, brand credibility, green brand image, green brand perceived value, green satisfaction, green trust, green brand equity, brand attitude, and positive word of mouth communication. The method used to collect the data in this study is distributing questionnaire to 260 respondents who meets the sample characteristics that have been determined. Later, the method used to test the validity and reliability of the data is SPSS 18.0 software and the method used to test the hypotheses is Structural Equation Modeling using Lisrel 8.80 software. The results show that brand credibility, green brand perceived value, and green satisfaction have positive influence on green brand equity, thus having role as the antecedents. On the other hand, green brand image and green trust have no influence on green brand equity. Furthermore, the results show that green brand equity has positive influence on brand attitude and positive word of mouth communication, where the positive influence of green brand equity on positive word of mouth communication can be also through mediation of brand attitude. Thus, brand attitude and positive word of mouth communication are impacts of green brand equity.

Abstract With the rapid development of online social media, live streaming has become a global trend and a new direction for strategic marketing in all walks of life. Therefore, this study mainly discusses how to improve audience’s attitude toward watching live streaming, and promotes purchase intention and positive word-ofmouth based on the four success factors of live streaming. The results show that: 1) among the four success factors, only playfulness and interactivity can positively and significantly affect attitude toward watching live streaming; 2) the attitude toward watching has positive and significant impact on the followup behavioural intentions (purchase intention and positive word-of-mouth); 3) the results of moderating analysis show that the positive impact of attitude toward watching on the intention of follow-up behaviour is not significantly different according to different types of live content. The findings of this study can provide different strategic views on the operation of live streaming platforms for live streaming hosts or those who use the platforms, by which to improve their business performance. Keywords: Live stream platform, Online celebrities, Playfulness, Interactivity, Positive Word-of-Mouth.

The popularity of Facebook has attracted attention from the small scale business in India and inspired a wide range of marketing activities aimed at utilizing this new platform i.e. brand fan page of Facebook. While using Facebook individuals like number of brands appearing on their news feed. The motivation for liking brands may be diverse for distinctive individuals. But whether liking a brand on fan page truly represents some emotional connection with the brand or not is still unexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by determining whether liking a brand on Facebook results into brand love or is it just a fad. Further, the paper attempts to find whether there exists a relationship between brand “liked” on the fan page and purchase intention, and if this in turn leads to positive word of mouth. A survey of Facebook users who engage with the brand of small scale companies by “liking” it was undertaken as part of the study. The five small scale companies were selected on the basis of their popularity on Facebook. Structural equation modeling was applied using the data collected from 311 survey respondents to arrive at relevant outcomes.
