HUL termed the rebranding as an important evolutionary step that moved away from the “regressive idea of beauty” and banished an undesirable social stereotype. Stakeholders had divergent opinions with the rebranding effort being termed from “path-breaking” to “too little”. Likewise, there was a divided house on the future sales of the repositioned brand. However, G&L, akin to its predecessor, maintained traction in the marketplace. The case provides an opportunity to understand the concepts of brand positioning and brand repositioning. It highlights how a corporate citizen can engage in responsible advertising and break an undesirable social stereotype. Attributes associated with fairness were identified to capture the extent of brand repositioning. Attributes associated with fairness were identified to capture the extent of brand repositioning. The primary data collected on such attributes was analysed with the help of Multi-Dimensional Scaling using alternating least-squares (ALSCAL) method.

Her efforts were met with several challenges as social enterprises work with limited resources, unlike traditional enterprises. They have to balance their mission objectives and money; only the social impact created gives credibility to their enterprise.

Although the disruptions affected every trade, the unorganized and budget hotels at various religious destinations in India faced an extended impact. The case is about <i>RadheDham Ashram</i>, an affordable stay offering a religious and spiritual experience at Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh province of North India. <i>Pandit</i> Shiv Kumar Tripathi, the owner of <i>RadheDham Ashram</i>, was concerned about managing its probable receding operations amidst the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. <i>RadheDham Ashram</i> was a popular destination to stay in because of its affordability and proximity to the famous Sri Krishna Temple. However, things had changed with the COVID-19 pandemic and predicted lockdowns. As a result, the temples were supposed to close, and the influx of tourists at <i>Ashrams</i> would reduce consequently, as pilgrims would avoid the crowded destinations. Tripathi was worried about the occupancy of the <i>Ashram</i>. His concerns ranged from matching the <i>Ashram</i> service capacity with the uncertain demand to managing yield by adopting strategies such as differential pricing, capacity planning or overbooking when the tourist footfall was uncertain. Due to low customer influx and high demand variability, it was a tough time for Tripathi. He had to select the best possible alternative to bridge the gap between service capacity and demand. The selected alternative must ascertain sufficient yield to <i>RadheDham Ashram</i> along with retention of its goodwill and its loyal customers. All these thoughts made him anxious about the business continuity of his <i>RadheDham Ashram</i> in the upcoming days.</p>","PeriodicalId":40720,"journal":{"name":"Asian Case Research Journal","volume":"186 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140150816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
