Perceived Brand Equity:
A Journey from
Efficiency to Effectiveness
Copyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. Charles
Copyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. CharlesCopyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. Charles
In recent decades, brands have become comparable
across the industries, based on their value derived
either from the consumer/customer perception or in
terms of the firm financials. There is always a trade-off
between perception and financials, so as a trade-off
between efficiency and effectiveness.
Ever since the inception of brand values, these have
become a benchmark for many data-driven strategies,
eventually providing a basis for vertical/horizontal
integrations, as well.
Copyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. CharlesCopyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. Charles
Such an attempt allows the firm to create virtual
brands, which provides room for benchmarking not
only the existing brands, but also the virtual brands;
this certainly provides an avenue to create new brands
in virtue of virtual brands.
The present research provides the scope to design
frontiers for the brands from developed and emerging
economies, as well as it substantially allows to compare
brands under various frontier technologies of interest.

Profit-
seeker User-oriented,
friendly
The perception of brands is key to the development of the
brand value. The image of a profit-seeking company affects the
brand value in a bad way, whereas the user-oriented, friendly
brand has a more appealing approach towards consumers.
Brand perception
Copyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. CharlesCopyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. Charles
The recession gave consumers important lessons
about consumption.
The true value
of goods.
Are products
really needful?
What is the real
satisfaction I get
from products?
Change in consumption habits

Advertising plays a vital role in
promoting the brand; however,
there are extreme and
exceptional cases: for instance,
on the one hand, Starbucks has
hardly spent money on
advertisement, while on the
other hand, Disney has spent
huge amount of money on
advertisement.

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
• DEA is widely known as a technique for the evaluation of efficiency.
DEA is an extreme-point method and compares each
decision-making unit (DMU) with the best DMU.
No need of assumption on the functional form.
Flexibility to incorporate multiple inputs and
outputs.
Works well with a small sample size.

The present research provides the scope to design
frontiers for the brands from developed and emerging
economies, as well as it substantially allows to compare
brands under various frontier technologies of interest.
Advertising plays a vital role in promoting the brand…
but how much money should be spent on advertising?
Or, otherwise stated, how much can we cut down on
advertising costs without affecting the efficiency of the
brand?
Takeaways
Copyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. CharlesCopyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. Charles
For example:
1. Developed countries: We have the outstanding case of
Facebook, which holds the 12th place in the Brand
ranking; nevertheless, it is listed as efficient under every
technology of interest.
2. Developing countries: We have the outstanding case of
HDFC Bank, which is ranked in the 72nd place in the
Brand ranking; nevertheless, it is efficient under every
technology of interest.
The analysis shows that the brand value ranking of the brands
differs significantly from the efficiency ranking under different
technologies of interest.
Takeaways…
Copyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. CharlesCopyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. Charles
It is to be noted that the brands from developed
countries which are inefficient are furthermore
inefficient even under the emerging countries frontier!
Apple and Facebook (Developed Countries) and Baidu
and HDFC Bank (Emerging Countries) are efficient
under every technology of interest and represent the
peers for the rest of the brands analysed.
Takeaways…
Copyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. CharlesCopyright © 2015 by Prof. Dr. V. Charles
1. A substantial number of brands can be found with
higher effectiveness.
2. 50% of the selected sample is sustaining with higher
efficiency and higher effectiveness.
The brands have been classified into four quadrants,
based on their efficiency and effectiveness:

Charles The present research provides the scope to design frontiers for the brands from developed and emerging economies, as well as it substantially allows to compare brands under various frontier technologies of interest. Advertising plays a vital role in promoting the brand… but how much money should be spent on advertising?

Developed countries: We have the outstanding case of Facebook, which holds the 12th place in the Brand ranking; nevertheless, it is listed as efficient under every technology of interest. 2. Developing countries: We have the outstanding case of HDFC Bank, which is ranked in the 72nd place in the Brand ranking; nevertheless, it is efficient under every technology of interest. The analysis shows that the brand value ranking of the brands differs significantly from the efficiency ranking under different technologies of interest. Takeaways…

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Some of the brands which have higher brand value from both developed countries and emerging countries….
  • #10 CRS – Constant returns to scale.
  • #11 VRS – Variable returns to scale. FDH – Free disposability hull. FRH – Free replicability hull.
  • #17 FCB, MLB, MCD, VIS, and APL are FRH efficient.
  • #18 FCB and APL are VRS efficient.
  • #20 Inefficiency means spending too much on advertisement when other firms achieve what you do with less resources.
  • #21 FCB and APL are VRS, FDH, and FRH efficient. MLB, MCD, and VIS are FDH and FRH efficient, but not VRS efficient.
  • #24 HDF, BDU, ABB, and TNC are FDH efficient.
  • #25 IBM and Visa have same output level, however, still IBM can reduce 5.2% of advertising cost without affecting its efficiency level.
  • #26 HDF, BDU, and ABB are FRH efficient.
  • #27 HDF, BDU, and TNC are VRS efficient.
  • #30 HDF, BDU, ABB, and TNC are VRS and FDH efficient. TNC is not FRH efficient, but HDFC, BDU and ABB are.
  • #33 E6, E4, D11, D10, D9, D5, D1 are FDH efficient.
  • #34 D10 is a peer for E1 [reduce input].
  • #35 D10 is a peer for E2, D13, and D15 [increase output].
  • #36 E6, E4, D11, D10, and D9 are FRH efficient.
  • #37 E6 is the peer for E7 and E8 [Reduce Input].
  • #38 E4 is the peer for E7 and E8 [Increase output].
  • #39 E6, E4, D11, D1 are VRS efficient.
  • #41 E4, E6, D11, and D1 are FRH, FDH, and VRS efficient. D10 is FRH and FDH efficient. D9 is FRH efficient, but not VRS or FDH efficient, while D5 is FDH efficient, but not VRS or FRH efficient.
  • #43 Two frontiers: one for developed and another one for emerging countries. Note: LIKE D15, D13, D12, D14, … brands from developed countries are inefficient even under the emerging countries frontier…. E6 and E4 are far better off when compared to the developed countries frontier….
  • #44 Effectiveness is measured as the log(net utilities/advertising costs). Efficiency is measured as in VRS efficiency.
  • #51 50% of the sample are enjoying their higher profit with higher brand value.
