RESULTS
Through the whole analysis process, the individual brands surveyed were ignored. The main goal of the study was to identify the relationships among research constructs as perceived in consumers’ minds. We conducted an analysis of the correlation matrix for the nine constructs across the brands (i.e., five for marketing mix activities, three for the dimensions of brand equity, and OBE). The factors obtained from such an analysis should reveal reliable scales that are independent of one another (see Rummel 1970).
