3 DISSERTATION Title: Goodbye seems to be the Hardest Word: Investigating How, When, and Why to Delete Brands Proposal Defense: Successfully completed on May 7 th 2015 Committee: David Strutton (Chair), Kenneth Thompson, Francisco Guzmán, Robert Pavur Abstract: Brands are intangible resources that can have a significant contribution to firm performance (Ailawadi, Lehmann, and Neslin 2001; Capron and Hulland 1999; Sullivan 1998), and play a key role in achieving a sustainable competitive advantage over rivals (Ponsonby-McCabe and Boyle, 2006). Developing and sustaining successful brands in the long term require strategic management of the brands in the short term. Studies show not all brands of a company are profitable. In fact, 80% to 90% of firms profit is generated from fewer than 20% of their brands (Kumar, 2003). A Brand Management System (BMS) in a company allows firms to understand and carry out activities that proactively create successful brands in their portfolio and sustain their brand management process (Santos-Vijande et al., 2013). In the process of developing and maintaining strong brands, brand managers constantly need to make multiple decisions on what to add, delete, or retain in their brand portfolio. Much of the literature has focused on exploring brand extension and retention strategies. However, very few studies have focused exclusively on brand deletion (Varadarajan et al., 2006; Shah, 2013). Thus, in order to investigate this critical, yet neglected aspect of brand portfolio management, this dissertation employs the Resource-Based Theory to identify and evaluate the factors that influence brand deletion decision in a company.
