چکیده

سرعت تغییرات در دنیای امروز، رشد فزاینده تکنولوژی و گسترش بی‌رویه رقابت بنگاه‌ها، مصرف کنندگان را در شرایط پر تلاطمی قرار داده و آن‌ها را با نوعی عدم اطمینان مواجه نموده است. در میان این همه ابهامات و واقعیات غیر قابل پیش بینی، مصرف کننده در جستجوی نقطه‌ای برای اتکاء و اطمینان است. همین موضوع توجه مصرف کننده را به برندهایی جلب نموده است که دارای میراث می‌باشند و این میراث موجبات اطمینان و آرامش خاطر مصرف‌کننده را فراهم می‌آورد. اهمیت این موضوع به اندازه‌ای است که سرفصلی به عنوان میراث برند در ادبیات بازاریابی مطرح شده است. در این مقاله با ارائه مفهوم جدیدی با عنوان "عناصر مقوم میراث برند" تلاش شده تا ابزاری برای سنجش برخورداری یک برند از میراث و میزان توانایی بالقوه آن برای استفاده از مزیت میراث برند ارائه گردد. این مطالعه کیفی و از نوع مطالعه موردی است و برای گردآوری اطلاعات از مصاحبه ، مشاهده و نیز بررسی اسناد و مدارک استفاده شده است. این تحقیق با بررسی عناصر مقوم میراث برند و اجزای آن در یکی از شرکت‌های ایرانی نشان می‌دهد این شرکت از عناصر مقوم برخوردار بوده و ظرفیت مناسبی برای استفاده از مزیت میراث برند دارد.

چکیده [English]

As businesses currently face the challenge of keeping up with rapid changes in such areas as technology, the concept of ‘brand’ has become one of the few resources to provide a long-term competitive advantage (Lindemann, 2003). One way of dealing with the turbulence in the world of business is to accentuate historical elements and, thereby, achieve stability and confidence. It has become trendy for consumers to seek consolation in the past. History can make a brand relevant to the present and, prospectively, the future. ‘Brand heritage’ is a new concept in the branding process that links past, present and future. Brand heritage is also one of the associations that marketers can use to differentiate their brands from those of their competitors. It ultimately helps them to create a unique image for their offerings. Using brand heritage as an advantage calls for the constitutive elements of brand heritage. This article explains the concept of Brand Heritage Constitutive Elements (BHCE) and its role in business development. The concept is investigated with reference to Momtaz match brand as the subject of a case study.
