The research questions are: - What are the critical initiatives behind the re-branding process, and have these initiatives been successful?
- Furthermore, to determine the success: To what extend does the intended image, created by the organizational leaders of Jyske bank, in relation to the rebranding, correlate with the identity held by the organizational members? Methodology: This thesis employs a mix of quantitative questionnaires and qualitative semi structured interviews.
Theoretical perspectives: Corporate rebranding framework (Daly & Moloney, 2004) and a conceptualization of the employee branding process (Miles & Mangold, 2005)
Empirical data: The empirical data was collected from in depth interviews with management and questionnaires from employees. Secondary data taken from company homepage.
Conclusion: The study identifies the critical initiatives from Jyske Banks rebranding, and finds the results relatively successful. The values that are connected to the intended image pursued by the Jyske Bank management correlate with the identity held by the employees to a relatively large extend. However with some minor differences that could be critical for the organization. (Less)
