"This study examines Vietnamese female consumers’ attitudes towards counterfeit branded products;by investigating the influence of brand image, product involvement and price advantage towardsdecision-making processes associated with purchasing and ownership. An inductive anti-positivistapproach was adopted, employing qualitative methods; drawing from in-depth interviews distilledand synthesized using Word Cloud software, as Geographic Information System (GIS) based SpatialAnalyses. Findings suggest that Price Advantage plays a determining and predominant role in encouragingconsumers’ purchase intention of a counterfeit product. In addition, Brand Image has positiveeffect on the purchase intention as well; while product involvement plays no significant role in theprocess. Further observations point to there being paucity of literature that focuses on Vietnameseand ASEAN markets. With this is mind, a new conceptual framework was developed to reflect thenuances of the Vietnamese consumer experience; which it is suggested will be of value to scholars,practitioners and further studies."

""Winning Behavior" gives companies a new way to increase business: by "outbehaving" rivals so that customers see a positive behavioral difference at every customer touchpoint - from product development and branding to bids and proposals, service, and much more. It is this company-wide Behavioral Differentiation that breeds lasting customer loyalty by allowing any company to distinguish itself from competitors in a tough, crowded market. "Winning Behavior" will prove to be a landmark book in the literature on customer service and customer relationship management: there has never been a book on Behavioral Differentiation before, but readers will see its potential in the results of the blue-ribbon organizations that practice it.This title is packed with eye-opening case histories and examples: Ritz-Carlton Harley-Davidson Enterprise Rent-a-Car Wal-Mart. It features exclusive interviews with high-profile executives including: George Zimmer (Men's Wearhouse) Hans-Olof Olssen (Volvo) Piers Marmion (Heidrick & Struggles) and others."

This thesis examines the effect of brand innovativeness and brand leadership with respect to the success of luxury brands in Indonesia; as well as how brand luxury, brand user-imagery fit and brand value have an effect on the willingness to pay a premium on the luxury-fashion brands. After conducting a comprehensive literature study and crafting hypothesis, some useful data were obtained from the questioners distributed to 157 respondents who had purchased or are using a number of branded or designer bags (including Hermes, Chanel, and Louis Vouitton) in Jakarta, with a snowball sampling and convenience sampling approaches. This followed by an analysis of the data with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM).

The research has provided us with an interesting observation whereby brand innovativeness does not have a direct influence on the brand luxury, and on the other hand brand leadership offers positive influence on the brand luxury. Furthermore, brand luxury, brand value, and brand user-imagery fit, all have positive influence on the willingness to pay a premium. And brand value is perceived as the one that has the biggest influence on the willingness to pay a premium. Therefore, to create a brand luxury, one must start by putting a lot of efforts in developing a brand leadership, whether one particular brand has already become a leading brand; an adaptive brand with the ever-changing era; or having a forward long-term vision. By being a brand luxury does not necessary mean that consumers will be willing to pay for a premium. There must be a strong brand value on the basis that they are part of those users of the luxury fashion brand. In shaping the luxury brand and the willingness to pay a premium, companies should pay attention to "the Brand Luxury Model" in this research."
