초록

This paper contributes to international business literature by inte￾grating firms’ product competition, consumers’ brand congruence, and contextual enculturation into one framework of analysis. The authors propose and empirically demonstrate how the effective￾ness of international branding strategy can be scaled by ethnolin￾guistic (in)consistency (EL(i)C). The study compares domestic vs. foreign brand assessments on the connection of product-brand fit and brand relevance congruence with their respective ethnolin￾guistic context in two dissimilar cultures in Asia. The findings offer practical implications for international business managerial actions. This study provides evidence that brand value starts from a firm’s offering, is co-created through consumers’ congru￾ence process, and is enhanced by enculturation conformance or diminished by non-conformance within a given context of market culture. The empirical evidence of this study supports our proposi￾tion that the “enculturation determinant logic” per context be integrated with “competitive advantage” logic of firms and “ser￾vice dominant logic” of market.

Abstract

This paper contributes to international business literature by inte￾grating firms’ product competition, consumers’ brand congruence, and contextual enculturation into one framework of analysis. The authors propose and empirically demonstrate how the effective￾ness of international branding strategy can be scaled by ethnolin￾guistic (in)consistency (EL(i)C). The study compares domestic vs. foreign brand assessments on the connection of product-brand fit and brand relevance congruence with their respective ethnolin￾guistic context in two dissimilar cultures in Asia. The findings offer practical implications for international business managerial actions. This study provides evidence that brand value starts from a firm’s offering, is co-created through consumers’ congru￾ence process, and is enhanced by enculturation conformance or diminished by non-conformance within a given context of market culture. The empirical evidence of this study supports our proposi￾tion that the “enculturation determinant logic” per context be integrated with “competitive advantage” logic of firms and “ser￾vice dominant logic” of market.
