Meanwhile, the results of the survey have disclosed what stakeholders how stakeholders have perceived these brands to be (Brand image).
Findings: The pinpointing of a variety of gaps between brand identity and brand image among these brands is the first finding in this study. Based on these gaps, generalized questions in terms of the gaps between brand identity and brand image have led to the establishment of a new model, the brand identity-image prism.
Research implications: Establishing a new model, the brand identity-image prism, that offers a new way to disclose the gap between brand identity and brand image.
Practical implications: By extending the brand identity prism into the new model, the brand identity-image prism, will facilitate in finding of the gaps between brand identity and brand image. (Less)
