PurposeResearch on the relationship between novelty and travel intention is lacking. This study attempts to fill this gap by developing a theoretical model to explain how novelty influences travel intention through two mediating paths: brand equity and tourist motivation.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, data were collected from 466 foreign visitors to Taiwanese night markets. To test the model, the authors applied structural equation modeling (SEM) to identify the critical attributes that predicted foreign tourists' travel intentions.FindingsThe SEM analysis indicated that novelty in tourism management was related to brand equity and intrinsic motivation, which increased foreign tourists' travel intentions and offered advantages for highly competitive, high-density night markets in Taiwan. In addition, brand equity was an important mediator that connected novelty and tourists' travel intentions. Finally, novelty indirectly affected travel intention and intrinsic motivation through brand equity.Research limitations/implicationsThere may exist potential moderators in the relationships among the brand equity and travel intention categories. Future research studies could explore whether any moderators influence the relationship mechanisms examined in this study.Originality/valueThis research expands on previous research studies that have focused on the value of travel intention. Furthermore, the study uses brand equity theory (BET) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to examine the mediating effect of intrinsic motivation on the relationship between novelty and travel intention.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of satisfaction and switching costs on the development of brand equity in the business-to-business (B2B) setting. The study considers the hierarchical effects between brand awareness, brand associations, perceived quality, and brand loyalty. Furthermore, the conceptual model examines the direct effect of switching costs on satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – Structural equation modeling was used to analyze 632 responses from the CEOs and CFOs of organizations buying auditing and business consultancy services from one of the Big Four auditing companies. Findings – The findings demonstrate the significant impact of satisfaction and switching costs on brand equity in the B2B setting. Furthermore, the findings show the positive effect of switching costs on satisfaction. Research limitations/implications – The study is conducted in the professional services context. Future research can examine whether the observed effects can be found in other B2B settings and considering various B2B services and industrial goods. Practical implications – The study contributes to marketing managers’ understanding of how marketing actions aimed to increase satisfaction can affect brand equity. Marketing managers are provided with insights and evidence on how switching costs can impact satisfaction and brand equity. Originality/value – The study tests a unique conceptual model focussing on the causal relationships between four dimensions of brand equity, satisfaction and switching costs. The findings provide a strong foundation for further investigation of links between the key marketing concepts: brand equity, satisfaction, and switching costs.

Abstract This study aims to investigate the effects of positive and negative sentiment on impulsive buying behavior among Indonesia people based on the theory of stimulus organism response (S-O-R). First, it examines how COVID-19 information, information credibility, and scarcity affect positive sentiment and negative sentiment. Second, it verifies the influence of positive sentiment and negative sentiment on impulsive buying tendencies and impulsive buying behavior. Third, this study verifies impulsive buying tendency impacts impulsive buying behavior. Data was collected from Indonesian people living in a COVID-19 red zone with an online survey via Google form. In total, 320 respondents completed the survey and data analysis employs confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM).  The result found that COVID-19 information and information credibility have a positive effect on positive sentiment, while it has an insignificant effect on negative sentiment. Scarcity has a positive effect on negative sentiment; on the other hand, it has no significant effect on positive sentiment. Both positive sentiment and negative sentiment have positive effects on impulsive buying tendencies.  Only positive sentiment has a positive effect on impulsive buying behavior, while negative sentiment does not. Finally, impulsive buying tendencies have a positive effect on impulsive buying behavior.   AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi pengaruh positif sentimen dan negative sentimen terhadap perilaku pembelian tidak terencana masyarakat Indonesia berpijak pada teori stimulus organism response (S-O-R).

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify whether spending self-control and long-term orientation influence impulsive buying behavior, and also to understand the variables that may cause individuals to decrease impulsivity.Method: A quantitative survey was carried out to gather data regarding how individuals think and what they consider when buying in order to understand impulsive buying behavior at the time of purchase. Data were analyzed through structural equation modeling using the SmartPLS 2.0 M3 software.Relevance: It is important to understand which elements may influence impulsive buying behavior, as the motivation that causes consumers to behave impulsively seems to be still poorly defined. Thus, we seek to figure out a portion of this act that transcends the rational and logical choices in the act of purchase.Results: Impulsive buying behavior is analyzed in different ways by various scholars. The results of the present study indicate that impulsive purchases occur when the individual has lack of self-control over what he/she buys. This situation can be controlled if the person has a long-term guidance. This fact tends to influence spending self-control and consequently decreasing the levels of impulsiveness.Theoretical contributions: This study contributes to Rook Fisher's (1995) impulsive buying behavior studies, seeking to insert elements such as long-term orientation and spending self-control to better understand the effect of impulsivity and its causes.

PurposeIn response to global competitive challenges, universities recently started developing better strategies for branding. Branding has been used as a differentiation strategy for higher education institutions. As the number of universities (public and private) has increased, so has the competition for students, the universities in Turkey have faced similar challenges. The main objective of this study is to investigate, from the students' perspective, the role of interactions of brand equity dimensions in creating a strong university brand.Design/methodology/approachCompiling from the literature, the study used a survey instrument to collect data at a comprehensive public university in Turkey. To assure representation of students across the campus, the sample included students at freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior and graduate levels from all major colleges.FindingsBased on 1,300 usable surveys from students across all colleges of a major state university, the PLS-SEM model revealed significant relationships among the brand equity dimensions of brand awareness, perceived quality, brand association, learning environment, emotional environment, brand trust, brand loyalty and university reputation. These brand dimensions collectively and/or individually influence the students' university learning experiences that may result in creating strong university brand equity.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was conducted at a government-owned university in Turkey capturing only students' perceptions. Future research could benefit from perceptions of other stakeholders like faculty, staff, alumni, and parents and testing the relationships for different types of universities. This study discusses the implications for developing university branding strategies.Originality/valueThe study empirically tests the validity and effects of the university brand equity dimensions with Turkish university students using structural equation modeling (SEM). It confirms that the measures of brand equity dimensions are also applicable in a different country.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship among greenwashing, green brand equity, brand credibility, green brand associations and purchase intention. Design/methodology/approach As an object to study, two brands were chosen: a high-involved brand and a low-involved brand. Data were collected from 500 consumers by survey method, and structural equation modeling was run to test the research hypotheses. Findings As a result, it was found that green brand associations and brand credibility positively affect green brand equity, and green brand equity has a positive and strong impact on purchase intention of consumers. In addition to that greenwashing negatively affects green brand associations and brand credibility, and therefore, indirectly influence green brand equity and purchase intention. Research limitations/implications Previous studies conceptualize greenwashing and examine its effects on company performance and skepticism. This study is a first attempt to explore the effects of greenwashing on green branding strategies. Practical implications Managers should be aware of that greenwashing not only negatively affects purchase intention but also generates negative outcomes for the relationship with the brands. Originality/value There is no other study, at least to the author’s knowledge, testing the effects of greenwashing on green brand perceptions and green purchase intention.

Internal Support

Branding for its part has experienced similar to marketing a broadening of the concept (Bastos and Levy 2012; Merz, He, and Vargo 2009). From being seen as a sub-discipline of marketing focusing only on product attributes (Louro and Cunha 2001), the relationship-focus era (Blackston 1992; Webster 2000) with its shift to brand value co-created by all stakeholders of the brand, has paved the way for branding to broaden in its own right (Ballantyne and Aitken 2007; Brodie, Glynn, and Little 2006). However, for the particular area in the organization – the department itself – only little research can be found on the application of branding in an inter-departmental context of a corporation (Beck 2010; Benson and Kinsella 2017; Cheskis 2012; Esser and Schelenz 2011; Jessl 2010; Rahman and Areni 2010; Siems and Lackus 2010). For instance, Siems and Lackus (2010, p. 32) observed: “what remains neglected is the understanding of internal customer-supplier relations and the relevance of branding in this relationship as an essential element of internal marketing (…). This is interesting – and important – because the sub-units themselves can represent the own brand and brand personalities: Internal services can be ‘internal brands’.” Within the organization, departments compete for scarce resources such as power, budget, personnel, top management awareness, recognition and legitimacy (Hybels 1995; Tyler 2006; Verhoef and Leeflang 2009; Webster Jr., Malter, and Ganesan 2005). In particular, internal support functions face challenges in their internal market for visibility and legitimacy e.g. due to their subordinate and “invisible” position in the value chain (Menon 2012; Park et al. 2012; Porter 1985; Rust et al. 2004). Despite there being a need for departments to position themselves in their own competing environment, there is no branding model with which such a sub-organization can address its market and business challenges. This thesis is a first attempt to close this research gap by proposing and discussing a model for departmental branding that can be applied to internal departments. The model shows what elements and stages comprise a departmental branding model and how it can contribute to improving visibility and legitimacy. Of particular note is next to the aspect of brand identity the central importance of employee branding as being a source of high influence on the brand equity for internal departments. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to identify the determinants of departmental brand equity. It could be revealed that departmental brand trust, predicted by communication and customer-supplier relationships, has the strongest effects on departmental brand equity. This allows to conclude that departmental brand equity is built through the internal customer’s social interactions and relations with the department’s employees. Finally, an action-oriented case study was conducted to provide practical insights into the application of departmental branding for the purpose of increasing the visibility and legitimacy of an internal support function. Learnings are discussed as well as facilitators and barriers derived for the successful adoption of the departmental branding model in future research.
