2. Roles of family factors on influencing the CBBE
As mentioned in the introduction, Gil, Andrés and Salina (2007) have mentioned that family can affect brand awarenss, associations and perceived quality of a brand. Brand awareness is linked with brand salience. It refers to the ability of customers to recognise a brand in various circumstances. It can be seperated into breadth and depth of brand awareness. Breadth of awareness represents the different circumstances among various products offered that customers can recall the brand. Depth of awareness represents the degree to which a customer can recall a brand (Keller K. L., 1993).

It can enhance loyalty of customers to the brand (Gil, Andrés and Salina, 2007). Moreover, reputation and socio-economic background of the family are interrelated to brand resonance. Socio-economic background of a family can foster or destroy loyalty. Japan has a culture which focus on collectiveness and social loyalty. But plutocrat such as Toyota in Japan can destroy this social loyalty by not sharing capital and technologies to others (Gu, Hung and Tse, 2008). Furthermore, Gu, Hung and Tse (2008) have discovered that Guanxi can generate reputation of both the family and the business. Guanxi is the social network of a firm to establish competitive advantage in the business environment. It is popular in the Chinese culture by leveraging guanxi to deal with business matters. Guanxi can be kinships or other social bonds of the family within the society. They can be treated as family reputation and are valuable social capital to the family owned firms (Wright and Kellermanns, 2011). These social capital can affect the relationship with customers, especially with channel members. They can also affect brand performance. However, this can be weakened by increasing competition in the market (Gu, Hung and Tse, 2008).
As for brand performance, Gu, Hung and Tse (2008) suggested that Guanxi, which represents the reputation and socio-economic background of the family can affect
A brand is a portfolio of qualities associated with a name, which in turn invokes certain images to individuals and hold values beyond the benefits of a product (Iacobucci, 2018). Brand association occurs when customers make a cognitive or emotional association with a particular brand. For instance, when a customer sees a certain color, symbol, logo, or name they automatically can make a connection to a particular brand. Brands start with a name that conveys information, suggest their benefits, or can even be named after their founders (Iacobucci, 2018). In the marketing perspective marketers can control the brand which they are marketing by using catching logos, colors, slogans, or even the products shape and appearance. In marketing a marketer can control the message they are trying to convey but cannot really have control over an individual’s association with that particular brand. Once a customer has an association with a particular brand they may favor the brand based on a past experience or even that individual’s sense of style or they may dislike a brand because of an association they
According to Veloutso & Moutinho (2009, p.315) Brand relationship is defined as the continual exchanges between a specified brand and an established customer, where relationship characteristics of love, association, interdependence and loyalty are developed with the brand. However, Keller (2014, p.365) revealed that consumer-brand relationships are the quality of relationship between brands and consumers. As a result, there are many influences that formulate consumer brand relationship. Basically, brand loyalty , brand equity and trust Escalas and Bettman, (2005, p. 379) are the underpinning factors that generates brand relationships. Furthermore, this developing customer brand relationship constitutes a sum of long term experiences with the brand where the brand is the entirety of the customers experiences with the brand. However, supplementing the long term customer brand relationship, brand communications is the major catalyst in relation to enticing both customer and seller in the long term relationship, hence attaining a brand emotional connection. This brand relationship does not only lodge an essential position in the mental period of a brand connection, rather it stimulates greater sales due to customer retention, less price Vulnerability, superior customer loyalty and advanced profit margin.

It even encompasses relation with other constituents like customers, partners, investors, staff, etc. Individuals distinguish psychological aspect of a brand from experimental

As Keller (1993, p. 3) argues, “[…] perceptions about a brand as reflected by the brand associations held in consumer memory”. Keller (1998) also suggests that there are three categories that constitute the overall brand perception: attributes; benefits and attitudes. A study conducted by Simms and Trott (2006) explores the brand perception of the MINI stakeholders. Based on their findings researchers established a model that gives a “perspective on a product brand by linking specific brand associations to the image that is developed in the mind of the consumer or stakeholder, and finally linking this to how the image appeals to key stakeholders” (Simms and Trott, 2006) . The application of their model to the MINI brand is presented in Appendix 2. .

Does human interference benefit or hurt the environment and does human advancement necessarily mean environmental degradation? Earth contains multiple ecosystems, from the dense forests to the vast grasslands, the blazing hot deserts to the frigid tundra, and from the freshwaters to the seawaters. Webster’s Dictionary defines ecosystem as “the complex of a community of organisms and its environment functioning as an ecological unit”. Each individual ecosystem has its own inhabitants along with its own special environment. The inhabitants, whether it be animals or plants, have adapted to specifically thrive in their respectful conditions. Humans, on the other hand, can bounce around to and from different ecosystems, even if it is only for a short time. Technological advances have empowered us to survive and thrive even in the harshest conditions. Whenever we move from place to place, we seem to leave our mark. With technology continuing to push the envelope and human population rising, our reach continues to grow along with our carbon footprint. In return, our expansion may be causing nature to retreat. So how can we combat this decline? In today’s modern age, human interference may be necessary to preserve what’s left of nature because of what happens to the environment in consequence to human advancements.

Some of us would even say or bring about our ethnicity by saying, “I’m a mestizo and I do not like to go clubbing”. Our environment, culture and genetics play very important roles in personality.
