DISSERTATION
Topic : "Antecedents and Consequences of Brand Redeployments"
Chair : Prof. Srinivas K. Reddy
Abstract : In the past several years, there has been an increasing trend of a phenomenon in which
firms decide to change their identities by redeploying their corporate or product brand
names. These name changes or brand redeployments are either a result of some corporate
action (e.g a merger or acquisition deal) or an attempt by the firm to reposition itself, or
its product offerings. Brand redeployments occurring via mergers and acquisitions vary
across a continuum of approaches ranging from elimination of one brand name,
concatenation of the brand names and even elimination of a ll names. Such variation in
the firm’s strategic choice motivates this investigation. The objective of this study is to
analyze this choice by studying the firm-, market- and transaction-specific antecedent
factors that lead to these brand name redeployment decisions. The theoretical background
of this study is based on resource-based perspective, transaction-cost theory, market-
power, and managerial power arguments. The study also aims to include a review of the
consequences of this strategic action from the perspective of the various stakeholders of
the firm. The proposed empirical analysis includes formulating redeployment models
based on a sample of over 800 merger or acquisition transactions during the 1995-1999
period and an analysis of the market level consequences of these redeployments. (The
dissertation is in its final stage of data collection)
