TÜKETİCİLERİN MARKAYA İLİŞKİN HEDONİK VE RASYONEL ALGILAMALARININ MARKA DEĞERİ BOYUTLARINA ETKİSİ

Abstract

Pazarda çok fazla sayıda firma olması, işletmeleri rekabet avantajı sağlamak için ürünlerini farklılaştırmak ve alıcılarını daha iyi tanımak zorunda bırakmaktadır. Bu nedenle günümüzde markalaşma ve marka değeri kavramları oldukça önem kazanmaya başlamıştır. Çünkü marka firmalar arasındaki rekabette önemli rol oynamaktadır. Marka, ürünü tanımlayıcı parçalardan biridir ve ürüne değer katar. Bu konuda yapılan çalışmalar, bir takım farklı unsurların marka değeri boyutlarına etkisini ele almaktadır. Bu çalışmada ise tüketicilerin markaya yönelik hedonik ve rasyonel algılamalarının marka farkındalığı, marka çağrışımı, algılanan kalite ve marka bağlılığından oluşan marka değeri boyutlarına etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada tüketicilerin hedonik algılamalarının belirlenmesinde markanın ona sağladığı olumlu düşünceler, hisler, duygular, mutluluk ne benzeri alt değişkenlerden yararlanılmıştır. Markaya ilişkin rasyonel algıların tespitinde ise markanın performansı, kalitesi ve güvenilirliği dikkate alınmıştır
