Abstract

ABSTRACT This study applies complexity theory to examine the effects of loyalty programs (LP) and consumer characteristics, as well as the perceptional and behavioral brand factors that influence brand equity and firm financial performance. It focuses on 14 Japanese fashion brands for a specific duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, this study considers the effects of complex components on performance (brand equity and firm financials) by testing the asymmetric relationships that exist between brand equity, LPs, and financials via fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. We mainly address two research questions: (1) Do insights on brand equity from young generations contribute to firm financial outcomes? (2) In the declining fashion market, do LPs affect brand equity and firm financial performance? The results present causal configurations that could either directly, or indirectly, and positively, or negatively, influence outcomes (brand equity and firm financials) depending on various contexts, such as consumer demographics and shopping conditions.
日本时装市场品牌资产对财务绩效的影响:基于fsQCA的复杂性理论
摘要本研究运用复杂性理论考察了忠诚度计划(LP)和消费者特征的影响,以及影响品牌资产和企业财务绩效的感知和行为品牌因素。在新冠疫情期间,该公司将重点关注14个日本时尚品牌。此外,本研究通过模糊集定性比较分析测试品牌资产、有限合伙人和财务之间存在的不对称关系,考虑了复杂成分对业绩(品牌资产和公司财务)的影响。我们主要解决两个研究问题:(1)年轻一代对品牌资产的见解是否有助于公司的财务成果?(2)在不断下滑的时尚市场中,有限合伙人是否会影响品牌资产和公司财务业绩?结果显示,根据不同的背景,如消费者人口统计和购物条件,可能直接或间接、积极或消极地影响结果(品牌资产和公司财务)的因果配置。
