In marketing, significant attention has been devoted to the study of drivers and outcomes of strategic flexibility drawing on real options theory.However, research that quantifies the specific value of flexibility reflected in a bundle of strategic real options is lacking.

Our study helps clarify the links among management’sstrategic plans, brand-based marketing strategies and share price, and allows to better monitor the impact of retailer strategic choices on long-term brand equity value.

Abstract
In marketing, significant attention has been devoted to the study of drivers and outcomes of strategic flexibility drawing on real options theory.However, research that quantifies the specific value of flexibility reflected in a bundle of strategic real options is lacking. To remedy this gap, wedevelop a real options-based framework that takes account of brand expansion and extension options to value brand equity and retailer growthstrategies. We show how to value the bundle of strategic real options associated with a flexible marketing strategic vision and how to assess thegrowth strategies related to the corporate brand of an international retailer. We apply our method to estimating the brand equity of Starbucks bothunder growth and adversity conditions. The results reveal that our method can more reliably incorporate the growth potential of the brand underuncertainty conditions. Comparisons with other brand valuation approaches are discussed. Our study helps clarify the links among management’sstrategic plans, brand-based marketing strategies and share price, and allows to better monitor the impact of retailer strategic choices on long-term brand equity value.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
