ABSTRACT
Corporate brands are an increasingly important element of organizational and marketing
strategy. Among the changes that businesses make as they move towards globalization is
a shift in marketing emphasis from product brands to corporate branding. In an era when
companies can no longer base their strategy on a predictable market or a stable
preferential product range, the ground rules for competition change. Differentiation requires
positioning, not of products, but the whole corporation. Accordingly, the values and
emotions symbolized by the organization become key elements of differentiation strategies,
and the corporation itself moves center stage. The proposed research takes a look at the
determinants of the retail corporate branding for the fashion industry. The purpose of this
research is to identify and study the different constructs of corporate brand management of
retailers in the Kota Kinabalu. In summary, this study was analyzed by using various
statistical analyses, which investigate the determinants of the corporate brand image for
both the local and foreign fashion retails from the customers' perspective. Results showed
that physical facilities and store atmosphere proves to have the most significant influence
on corporate brand image for both the local and foreign fashion retails. Management
implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
Overview
Corporate brands are an increasingly important element of organizational and marketing
strategy. Among the changes that businesses make as they move towards globalization is
a shift in marketing emphasis from product brands to corporate branding. In an era when
companies can no longer base their strategy on a predictable market or a stable
preferential product range, the ground rules for competition change. Differentiation requires
positioning, not of products, but the whole corporation. Accordingly, the values and
emotions symbolized by the organization become key elements of differentiation strategies,
and the corporation itself moves center stage. The proposed research takes a look at the
determinants of the corporate brand image which focus on the fashion retail industry.
Given the complex nature of brands and branding, many organizations often fail to
consider the role that employees can play in realizing a company's brand strategy. Whether
it's the actual impact on customer service levels or the influence on stakeholder
perceptions, employee behavior impacts on company brand perceptions and ultimately
affects the bottom line. As retail sector is more customer services oriented and has more
domains for interactions of staff members directly with customers, there is a greater scope
'of translating and conveying the corporate brand of a retail firm through these interactions.
The proposed research also focuses on how the different factors contributing
towards the corporate branding image of a retailing firm, are strategically aligned and how
this alignment is influenced by the performance and interaction of the customer services
staff of the retail firm with the customers. The proposed research would identify the
different factors that devise the constructs for corporate retail branding. It would identify the
1
different factors that contribute towards the corporate branding of a retail organization and
how do the customer services employees translate and contribute towards the corporate
branding of the retail organization.
The last decade has seen major flux in retailing, especially in the grocery and
general merchandise industry such as fashion retail industry. On one hand, the growth of
promotions and private labels has been seen by many as an indicator of growing retailer
power. On the other hand, the growth of discounters and warehouse clubs has put
immense pressure on traditional retailers and significantly increased retail competition both
within and between retail formats. Since a large portion of most retailers' revenue and profit
comes from selling manufacturer brands, which many of their competitors also offer,
building their own equity is a particularly challenging problem, but one with big potential
rewards . Such equity insulates them from competing retailers, which has the direct impact
of increasing revenue and profitability, and the indirect impact of decreasing costs as their
leverage with brand manufacturers also increases.
Although many important branding principles apply, retailer brands are sufficiently
different from product brands that the actual application of those branding principles can
vary. Retailer brands are typically more multi-sensory in nature than product brands and
can rely on rich consumer experiences to impact their equity. Retailers also create their
brand images in different ways, e.g., by attaching unique associations to the quality of their
service, their product assortment and merchandising, pricing and credit policy, etc.
In most consumer industries, the image of retailer brands also depends on the
manufacturer brands they carry. Retailers use manufacturer brands to generate consumer
interest, patronage, and loyalty in a store. Manufacturer brands operate almost as
"ingredient brands" that wield significant consumer pull, often more than the retailer brand
does. To the extent "you are what you sell," manufacturer brands help to create an image
and establish a positioning for the store.
2
At the same time, retailers compete with manufacturers for consumer pull to
increase their relative market power and their share of the total channel profit pie (Steiner,
1993). In doing so, they may sell some of their own brands. In fact, in industries like
apparel, one can find several examples of retailers who carry only their own private label
products. Private label products may have their own unique brand names or be branded
under the name of the retailer. They allow the retailer to differentiate its offerings from
competing retailers, although often without the support afforded manufacturers brands.
It is critical important on understanding how a retailer should be positioned and how
the brand assortment sold by the retailer is related to its image. Some retailers have
managed their brands more effectively than others, as is evident in their performance. For
instance, although overall U.S. retail profitability did not improve during the eighties and
nineties, some retailers have fared exceedingly well (Ailawadi, Borin, & Farris, 1995).
1.2
Research Problem
Fashion retailing is emerging as one of the most challenging areas of business activity in
the world market. Uncertainties in demand, shrinking selling seasons, lengthening delivery
lead times, increasing competition and thinning margins together make the job of the
retailer truly daunting.
The development of a strong brand in the domestic market, in terms of store image,
product, and customer service, would seem to form the basis for long-term viability and
.success in the markets. Concerns related to build up a successful corporate brand image
are evident in the marketplace. Over the years, a majority of the consumers have realized
that the corporate brand image have a direct impact on their buying behavior, satisfaction
and loyalty issues.
An important challenge facing fashion retailer is to identify which factors are the
influences to build-up a strong corporate brand image. It is apparent that an enhanced
3
knowledge of the profile of this segment of consumers' and employees' would be extremely
useful. The closer we more to an understanding of what causes individuals to perceive the
corporate brand image, the better the management will be able to develop the marketing
strategies specifically targeted at these consumers.
The research questions highlighted in this paper are to verify the determinants of
the corporate brand image and how does the customer perceive it as a brand image. In this
regard, key issues concerning the relationship between the factors that influence the
corporate brand image. Besides, the research paper also focused on the relationship
between the determinants of the corporate brand image and demographic characteristics,
for example age, gender, occupation and education level. A conceptual framework has
been developed.
Hence, the research question is, " To what extent does physical facilities and
store atmosphere, price and promotion, product-related attribute, customer service
and corporate identity will influence the corporate brand image in the local and the
foreign fashion retail industry from the customers' perspective,"
1.3
Rationale of the Study
In exploring for the determinants and factors that might affect the perceptions of the
corporate brand image from the customers, in the context of this study is both the local and
foreign fashion retailer in Kota Kinabalu. This study is to investigate the determinants of the
corporate brand image for the fashion retailer in Kota Kinabalu. Thus, it is hoped to assist
both the local and the foreign fashion retailer to identify and understand the determinants
and their significance that may influence the perceptions on the corporate brand image.
And yet, this can lead to possibility for further improvement of programs for the strategic
management for the fashion retail in Kota Kinabalu.

atmosphere, price and promotion, product-related attribute, customer service, corporate
personality and corporate identity towards the corporate brand image in the fashion retail
industry. The sample of this research will include the consumers in Kota Kinabalu area.

:::»
Definition of Terms
For the purpose of this proposed study, the following are the terms that may need to be
further clarified to avoid confusion on what it means in the context of this study.
1.6.1
Corporate Brand Image
A corporate brand image is the associations that consumers have in memory to the
company or corporation making the product or providing the service as a whole.
Corporate brand image is particularly relevant concern when the corporate or
company brand plays a prominent role in the branding strategy adopted. In the
5
context of this research, both employees working in the fashion retail and the
consumers will be tested on their perception on the corporate brand image that may
influence their purchase behavior.
1.6.2 Physical Facilities and Store Atmosphere
Physical facilities and store atmosphere refers to the internal and the external
environment of the retail shop. The psychological impact of "the store's atmosphere
crease a retail image in the shopper's mind, with the atmosphere influencing
consumer behavior in three ways, by creating attention, messages and emotional,
affective response (McGoldrick, 1990). In the context of this research, physical
facilities and store atmosphere refers to the store's cleanliness, ambient features,
interior and exterior design of the store and so forth.
1.6.3
Price and Promotion
The price of the product or service is particularly important attribute association
because consumers often have strong beliefs about price and value of a brand and
may organize their product category knowledge in terms of the price tiers of
different brands (Robert and Kenneth, 1989). The price from this research is the
pricing policy for the brand that can create associations in consumer's minds to the
relevant price tier or level for the brand in the category, as well as to its
corresponding price volatility or variance (in terms of the frequency or magnitude if
discounts, etc). The pricing strategy of the fashion retail in this research can
influence the brand image as well.
6
1.6.4
Product-Related Attribute
Product-related attribute refers to a product's physical composition or a service's
requirements and are what determine the nature and level of product performance.
Product-related attributes can be further distinguished according to essential
ingredients and optional features, either necessary for a product to work, or allowing
for customization and more versatile, personalized usage. In this study, productrelated attributes will be in terms of the merchandize quality, assortment and the
style or design of the product.
1.6.5
Customer Service
Customer service refers to any act or performance that one party can offer to
another that is essentially intangible and does not result in the ownership of
anything (Kotler, 1994). Customer services come in many different forms. Although
the production of customer services is not necessarily tied to a physical product, but
they often accompany goods in some way. In this context of study, there are a
number of dimensions of customer service quality: reliability (ability to perform the
promised service right at the first time), responsiveness (willing to help customers),
competence (knowledge and skill of employee), empathy (caring, individualized
attention provided), courtesy (friendliness of customer contact) and communication
(keeping customers informed in language they can understand and listen to what
they say).
1.6.6
Corporate Identity
In the context of this study, corporate identity refers to a strategic manifestation of
corporate-level vision and miSSion, underpinned by the strategies which a
corporation employs in its operations or production (Melewar and Wooldridge,
7
2001). A strong emphasis is placed on ethical and cultural values, as well as
organizational history and philosophy (Ind, 1992). According to Balmer (1998),
corporate identity is a multidisciplinary field. It is a term used to identify the essence
of what the firm is and thus incorporates many unique characteristics of the firms
such as history, philosophy, culture, communication and the industry the firm
operates in. Besides, the corporate identity also is inseparable from the corporate
personality of the organization.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1
Introduction
The marketing and apparel literature generally agrees on the subject of fashion leadership
in that fashion leaders are more likely to be young consumers (Goldsmith et aI., 1991 ;
Gutman and Mills, 1982; Horridge and Richards, 1984; Mason and Bellenger, 1974;
Scrugge, 1977). When compared with other consumer groups, young fashion leaders are
those consumers that consider fashion to be of great importance to their lifestyles. Fashion
leaders have well defined convictions about taste, in particularly their own, and are
champions of new styles and generally influence other consumers to adopt and buy the
latest fashions (see Beaudoin et aI., 1998; Kaiser, 1990; Polegato and Wall, 1980; Schrank
and Guiimore, 1973).
When attempting to ascertain the reason for poor levels of performance, it is
reasonable to assume that this may be due to ineffective positioning (Davies and Brooks,
1989), and a failure of the retailers positioning strategy. This is an integrated management
activity that takes in elements of the retail mix such as merchandising, store formats, sales
staff interaction, promotional efforts (Walters and Laffy, 1996) and unsurprisingly reputation.
These factors create a point of differentiation, separate retailers from the competition, and
create the retail brand. Intensifying retail competition and growing market saturation are
continually forcing fashion retailers to devise more creative positioning and differentiation
tools (Arnirani and Gates, 1993). Such pressures in this sector tend to give rise to
improvements to fashion ranges, the re-evaluation of selections and, where necessary,
realignments to brand image. The success of the brand (by reputation or by image), and its
