A brand is a collection of experiences and associations connected with a service, a person or any other entity.
Brands have become increasingly important components of culture and the economy, now being described as "cultural accessories and personal philosophies"
Concepts
Some people distinguish the psychological aspect of a brand from the experiential aspect. The experiential aspect consists of the sum of all points of contact with the brand and is known as the brand experience. The psychological aspect, sometimes referred to as the brand image, is a symbolic construct created within the minds of people and consists of all the information and expectations associated with a proct or service.
People engaged in branding seek to develop or align the expectations behind the brand experience, creating the impression that a brand associated with a proct or service has certain qualities or characteristics that make it special or unique. A brand is therefore one of the most valuable elements in an advertising theme, as it demonstrates what the brand owner is able to offer in the marketplace. The art of creating and maintaining a brand is called brand management.
Careful brand management, supported by a cleverly crafted advertising campaign, can be highly successful in convincing consumers to pay remarkably high prices for procts which are inherently extremely cheap to make. This concept, known as creating value, essentially consists of manipulating the projected image of the proct so that the consumer sees the proct as being worth the amount that the advertiser wants him/her to see, rather than a more logical valuation that comprises an aggregate of the cost of raw materials, plus the cost of manufacture, plus the cost of distribution. Modern value-creation branding-and-advertising campaigns are highly successful at incing consumers to pay, for example, 50 dollars for a T-shirt that cost a mere 50 cents to make, or 5 dollars for a box of breakfast cereal that contains a few cents' worth of wheat.
A brand which is widely known in the marketplace acquires brand recognition. When brand recognition builds up to a point where a brand enjoys a critical mass of positive sentiment in the marketplace, it is said to have achieved brand franchise. One goal in brand recognition is the identification of a brand without the name of the company present. For example, Disney has been successful at branding with their particular script font (originally created for Walt Disney's "signature" logo), which it used in the logo for go.com.
Consumers may look on branding as an important value added aspect of procts or services, as it often serves to denote a certain attractive quality or characteristic (see also brand promise). From the perspective of brand owners, branded procts or services also command higher prices. Where two procts resemble each other, but one of the procts has no associated branding (such as a generic, store-branded proct), people may often select the more expensive branded proct on the basis of the quality of the brand or the reputation of the brand owner.
Brand name
The brand name is often used interchangeably within "brand", although it is more correctly used to specifically denote written or spoken linguistic elements of any proct. In this context a "brand name" constitutes a type of trademark, if the brand name exclusively identifies the brand owner as the commercial source of procts or services. A brand owner may seek to protect proprietary rights in relation to a brand name through trademark registration. Advertising spokespersons have also become part of some brands, for example: Mr. Whipple of Charmin toilet tissue and Tony the Tiger of Kellogg's.
Brand names will fall into one of three spectrum's of use - Descriptive, Associative or Freestanding.
Descriptive brand names assist in describing the distinguishable selling point(s) of the proct to the customer (eg Snap Crackle & Pop or Bitter Lemon).
Associative brand names provide the customer with an associated word for what the proct promises to do or be (e.g. Walkman, Sensodyne or Natrel)
Finally, Freestanding brand names have no links or ties to either descriptions or associations of use. (eg Mars Bar or Pantene)
The act of associating a proct or service with a brand has become part of pop culture. Most procts have some kind of brand identity, from common table salt to designer jeans. A brandnomer is a brand name that has colloquially become a generic term for a proct or service, such as Band-Aid or Kleenex, which are often used to describe any kind of adhesive bandage or any kind of facial tissue respectively.
Brand identity
A proct identity, or Brand image are typically the attributes one associates with a brand, how the brand owner wants the consumer to perceive the brand - and by extension the branded company, organization, proct or service. The brand owner will seek to bridge the gap between the brand image and the brand identity. Brand identity is fundamental to consumer recognition and symbolizes the brand's differentiation from competitors.
Brand identity is what the owner wants to communicate to its potential consumers. However, over time, a procts brand identity may acquire (evolve), gaining new attributes from consumer perspective but not necessarily from the marketing communications an owner percolates to targeted consumers. Therefore, brand associations become handy to check the consumer's perception of the brand.
品牌包括名稱、徽標、口號和／或關聯產品、服務、城市或公眾人物的設計企劃。
「品牌」不是「商標」。「品牌」指的是產品或服務的象徵。而符號性的識別標記，指的是「商標」。品牌所涵蓋的領域，則必須包括商譽、產品、企業文化以及整體營運的管理。因此，brand 不是單薄的象徵，乃是一個企業總體競爭，或企業競爭力的總和。品牌不單包括「名稱」、「徽標」還擴及系列的平面視覺體系，甚至立體視覺體系。但一般常將其窄化為在人的意識中圍繞在產品或服務的系列意識與預期，成為一種抽象的形象標志。甚至將品牌與特定商標劃上等號。
人們從品牌的經驗因素上辨別一個品牌的心理因素。經驗因素通常由品牌的使用經驗構成，心理因素則由品牌的形象，即由與產品或服務相關聯的一切信息和預期所創建的符號性的標識。
品牌的意義： Philip Kotler 行銷管理大師說：品牌的意義在於企業的驕傲與優勢，當公司成立後，品牌力就因為服務或品質，形成無形的商業定位。
品牌首先是獨占性的商業符號，也就是商標 然後，這一符號需要被人所認知，也就是具有意義。
歷史
市場上品牌的概念起源於 19 世紀包裝零售商品的出現，工業化將很多家庭產品，以肥皂為例，轉移到當地的工廠生產。工廠大批量生產，同時需要將產品向更廣闊的市場，向那些只熟悉其本地產品的消費者銷售。但工廠很快發現，一些普通包裝的外來產品無法和本地產品競爭，於是他們試圖使市場相信自己的產品可以與本地產品同樣被信任。
品牌權益
Kevin Lane Keller 認為品牌權益來自品牌行銷效果，該效果則視消費者具有的品牌知識而定。品牌知識的來源是由品牌知名度及品牌形象所形成的聯想網路記憶模式為主，運用品牌聯想網度可以提升品牌知名度及品牌形象。
④ 品牌經營方面的外文文獻及中文翻譯
procts, people more aware of others; for the brand, may have half-baked knowledge and with a brand, people familiar with but little has been graal.
O The Stephen said: "The procts are proced by factories things, brand is what consumers buy." Rand Corporation founder Walter o Mr. Rand said: "The factory manufactured procts, create brand soul." Procts is more than physical, and the brand is more psychological in nature.
First, Brand and Brand Strategy
1, the meaning and role of brands
Brand procers, operators in order to identify its procts in order to differentiate themselves from the competition, identify consumer awareness of the significant use of the marker. Can be a brand name, a term, a mark, a symbol or design, it can also be a combination of some of these factors. In other words branding is used to distinguish between different enterprises in different procts text, graphics or text, graphics and the organic composition.
Now, the brand is no longer just a marker of. P accordance with the marketing authority, Dole said, the brand is "a name, logo, graphic or a combination of them to distinguish between different enterprise procts." P Bierdeweike on brand explanation is: "brand from the creation of a guarantee of badge of intangible assets. "Bierdeweike the famous advertising agency BMP's executive director. In the past 20 years, the company more innovative use of technology to improve the understanding of consumers and the relationship between the brand.
It should be noted that Bierdeweike said the "brand" is no longer the same as "markers", but has become a broader meaning, more abstract concept. It is from one? Quot; badge "or markings created by the" intangible "
In other words, trademarks, brand not all, but merely a sign of the brand or mark.
This distinction is very important, not as a brand name, logo or graphics to consider, but as a group of "intangible assets" to consider, is a better way of thinking more intensity.
From this perspective to understand brands, is the 20th century history of the development of marketing 1990s made by one of the most important progress. It is used to explain the successful brand and brand unsuccessful distinction between a key.
Brand role in the following areas:
Procts to participate in market competition
The first is a brand identification procts function, advertising and promotional activities provided the basis for the purchase of consumer goods play a guiding role. Secondly, there is legal protection of the exclusive right to use a trademark, it will effectively curb illegal competitors of the enterprise market erosion. Third, the good reputation of trademarks, access to new procts, often the fourth, brand name merchandise to customers is more attractive, helping improve market share.
Concive to the improvement of proct quality and corporate image
Brand is the content and quality of goods market value of the coefficient of assessment and identification emblem is the enterprises to participate in the competition intangible capital. In a bid to win in the competition, it is necessary to carefully safeguard brand reputation. On the quality of procts not taken lightly, fear on their own brands. The process of creating a name brand must be continuously improve proct quality and establish a good corporate image process.
It is concive to protecting the interests of consumers
Brand is the sales process, proct quality and the source of that help consumers to buy their preferred brands, in order to get the greatest satisfaction. When the proct quality problems, help compensate for damages suffered by consumers.
Facts have proven that a prestigious brand, enterprises will be a great asset. In the world, which has ranked as the top brand value Marllboro, its market value as high as 21 billion US dollars, second place CocaCola to 24 billion US dollars. China's famous brands "Hongtashan" to win 10 billion yuan. Of course, the outcome of long-term business enterprises, but also because of their texture and excellent marketing portfolio properly. Experience has shown that the correct decision-making brand, brand design scientific, effective protection of the brand business success there is a positive role.
2, and the significance of corporate brand strategy
Brand strategy, by definition, is the brand enterprises to create, use and maintenance at the core, in its own analysis of the external environment and conditions on the basis of the development of the company's overall plan of action. Brand as a form of economic subject to certain socio-economic conditions. Therefore, the brand strategy in the enterprise management of the status of the rapid rise in its profound social and business background, the course of the development of brand strategy also reflects the history of the evolution of the market economy. Initial commodity economy, a relatively low level of proctivity, a seller's prominent features, of the consumer's behavior simple, there is no need to emphasize procts and services external characteristics, thus, proction and operation of an enterprise-management, proct and brand less. Buyer's market triggered the development of the consumer revolution, enterprises and procts in the convergence calls for the development of proct features enable consumers outside the Movable heterogeneous characteristics, the cultural brand logo to highlight function, the brand strategy is beginning Stronger. The development of the market repeatedly and imbalances, early brand marketing is only the basic tools, or even just a marketing strategy level. Even enterprises to enter the business strategy, corporate management is still closely around the four elements of marketing - proct, price, place, promotion, brand strategy and corporate organizational strategy, human resources strategy, an investment strategy, proct strategy, technology strategy, transnational business strategy such as tie-concept, and many enterprises become a strategic choice. Promote the development of modern proctive forces of the market information process, the initiative from the enterprise market further transferred to the hands of consumers, enterprises become the second main market, the efficiency of the market in the allocation of resources and over-dependent increase of the information depends on the degree of their own, the operation and management of enterprises traditional way to face stern challenges.
Brand is not a separate existence in the market of things, it is in many things outside of the market built on the basis of a belief, that belief once formed, and there will be potential consumer groups have a similar concept of superstition .
Brand — — our brand is the real meaning of the brand, which the so-called "bad brand" can not be called a fact, the connotation of brand — — reflected in the two most important aspects of the combination of:
Visibility + reputation
Any proct or service, if only the lack of visibility and reputation so, doomed to survive in a short time after the loss of the capacity. Unfortunately, our enterprises for short-term benefits of development, the effect of the pursuit of rapid expansion, often focus on advertising with a huge reputation and are unwilling to spend money on training and reputation. The consequences of doing so is very dangerous, and once the mature enterprises and brands into the market, the only known enterprise competitiveness in the market is vulnerable.
3, corporate brand strategy and the operation of enterprises
China's large cities have a strong consumer brand consumer awareness, and small and medium cities and the rural market has graally increased brand awareness. Young people in pursuit of well-known consumer brands to achieve self-worth, and has become a fashion, but their young in the consumption of foreign brands such as Nestle, McDonald's even grow up in the pursuit of development into a fashionable for foreign brands, which can not but have know people are worried about the domestic national brands.
In the Chinese market, foreign brands through joint ventures, wholly-owned or mergers and acquisitions, and other means, to create a successful brand localization. By contrast, China, aside from opening up earlier, fully competitive instries, such as home appliances, cosmetics, food and beverage instries better brand development, the protection of national policies and restrictions instries, brand marketing is still a blank, the real strength almost no brand. Qin has bolstered the pool, love, domestic giants such as national brands are also short-lived.
Along with the constant development of China's market, segmentation of the market for different consumer customer base, target marketing, brand marketing and corporate marketing is a natural choice. Enterprises can successfully carry out a brand marketing, to establish their own strong brand, and the company's business is closely related to long-term strategy, because, brand strategy depends on the business strategy. Most domestic brands do not last long, and domestic enterprises closely related to the lack of long-term business strategy.
Second, corporate brand strategy in China's enterprises in the status of current operations and commercial enterprises in the implementation of brand strategy on what is the situation? Generally speaking, the implementation of brand strategy, to develop their own brands or just aware. First, this awareness comes from the Government's guidance, and the second is derived from the practice of market competition. In particular the practice of the market, many commercial enterprises in the increasingly fierce market competition, the competition moves to all left-right and difficult process to be effective, and that some colleagues open a new path, develop their own brand goods has repeatedly won . In Shanghai, there are three gun licensing underwear, opened a licensing costumes, ancient and modern, licensing bras, silk king, love built clothing, and so on, these commercial counterparts, as developing its own brand of goods e to enterprises in the same fierce competition , a way out of tight encirclement, an instant, become a Jingyi development of large enterprises. Chunlan licensing more nearby air conditioning, have embarked on a journey in the world (although Chunlan manufacturers of brand development, but commercial Chuleibangtong). So many commercial enterprises realize that, for commercial development until today, can not walk the road of traditional, modern business should follow the road to implement and promote brand strategy, develop its own brand goods
However, many commercial enterprises aware of the brand strategy is one thing, in practice, there was one thing. At present, commercial enterprises in practice, there is a brand strategy that should not be overlooked some problems. The main ones are:
First, the implementation of brand strategy vague concept. Heard a number of commercial enterprises should implement and promote brand strategy, immediately cast their eyes on the development of the famous procers of goods. Think that these manufacturers and more contact, more luxury goods business, engage in some Monopoly and special distribution of the categories, is to implement and promote the brand strategy. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding. We do not rule out the adoption of Trade and Instry and jointly promote the implementation of brand strategy, but commercial implementation of the direct meaning of the brand strategy is a commercial development of its own brand procts, is to use commercial city close to the taste of their own market-led development of the great advantages of brand merchandise. This is a huge and heavy project, a lot of efforts is not simple and can be used to promote their success. Second, the lack of the sense of urgency in the implementation of brand strategy. Commercial implementation of brand strategy that is important, but now businesses lot of things to do. Furthermore, the implementation of brand strategy since it is a systematic project, not overnight, and this matter should be carried out slowly. At present, the most important thing is to grasp boost sales, other things must be put for a while. In fact, to boost sales grasp of course important, but how to lead it forward instead of grasping has taken a variety of expanded sales, marketing measures are ineffective?. Its repeated defeated each, it would be better to study Henxiaxin brand strategy, from here to find the breakthrough point, so the right direction. Commercial enterprises have the sense of urgency in the implementation of brand strategy. Third, I do not know where to start. Or the implementation of brand strategy of relying on the theory of a lack of or limited to enterprises brand strategy, the development of its own brand procts of the material conditions is not sufficient, some commercial enterprises in the current implementation of brand strategy at a loss Moze. One of the moves was confused to see how others do, especially peer-to pursue their own brand, and then to follow suit. In fact, this is the most detestable. Because of the implementation of brand strategy, is a new knowledge, is the so-called knowledge economy, and there are not too many things can be off-the-shelf . Furthermore, the pursuit of innovation itself is a new word, it is necessary to各顯神通is, how good the others behind with the suit.抱定everything to a purpose, it is from their own actual conditions. Only by proceeding from reality and to develop their own brand procts with personality, which is vital. Fourth, the lack of appropriate mechanisms. At present, many commercial enterprises are establishing a modern enterprise system. One of the key issues is to implement the asset ownership and the right to operate the separation. Only the implementation of such separation, business operators have an independent character. This implementation of the brand strategy is necessary. But now many commercial enterprises still do not have ownership of the assets and operating rights of separation, or even with the implementation of separation, but not strictly defined, is not clear, so that operators still lack complete independent personality. This advance in the implementation of brand strategy and, inevitably proce short-term behavior. The brand strategy is a short-term taboo acts. Because of the brand strategy is a process. This process must have continuity, short-term behavior, the brand strategy is not well cultivated. Therefore, commercial enterprises and promote the implementation of brand strategy we must solve problems in the operational mechanism. Third, the operation of enterprises in brand strategies of flexibility in the use of
So, how should the current commercial enterprises and promote the implementation of brand strategy led by the then I think that we should do the following main aspects:
1, we should establish a strong sense of brand strategy
The operators of commercial enterprises, is the first large-scale commercial enterprises (Group) operators, we have to learn modern business knowledge, and understanding of domestic and international business development of the situation, assess the situation and promptly seize opportunities, and promote the implementation of the enterprise's brand strategy . Profound understanding of the implementation of brand strategy, at this stage, and compete for market share, seek survival and development of enterprises is one of the means. More business for the country, as to make e contributions to the nation a big way. Aspiring business operators, entrepreneurs, and should such a concept and create a strong sense of brand development strategy, with a high sense of political responsibility and a sense of urgency to implement and promote the enterprise's brand strategy. 2, selecting the right market position, set a strategic brand
Commercial enterprises operating normally types of goods, at least hundreds, then thousands more. Implementation of the brand strategy is not necessary, it is impossible to develop such a multi-brand merchandise. But after a market survey, from the actual conditions of the enterprises, the development of one or two brands (usually a brand it a foot). At present, the world's 500 major brands, however strong, and large enterprise groups only 500. The key is to modern science and technology and society of mass proction, consumer goods are more and more homogenization of the circumstances, the development of the same commodity, it is necessary to reflect heterogeneity. Only this is the heterogeneity of the success of brand development, the key element. This heterogeneity of the market, according to the development of consumer demand. It is all well-known brands to the development of this proct in the same category before the heterogeneity of success. This heterogeneity is taking following the market.

Zara: Cool Clothes Now, Not Later
Ask any urban European female under the age of 30 and chances are she has shopped at Zara, the clothier whose inexpensive but stylish offerings have attracted a cult following. Zara also sells men』s fashions, again aimed at the stylish and youthful.
Mathieu Soto, a college tennis player from France with dark eyes and devastating good looks, was asked to compare Zara to The Gap, the U.S. - based clothing giant with a major presence in Europe. His response: 「I don』t know. I』ve never shopped at The Gap.」
Most U.S. young alts have never shopped at Zara, but that seems likely to change in the near future. In the past five years Zara has grown from 179 stores mostly in Spain to 450 stores in 29 countries including the United States and Canada. Zara now has stores in New York, New Jersey, Miami, and Toronto—with more on the way.
While Zara is unlikely to displace The Gap in the U.S. market, they are certain to offer U.S. consumers an option previously unavailable to them. They have a sound if unusual marketing strategy in which logistics plays an important role. Logistics also plays an important role in Zara』s growth plans, notably its expansion into the U.S. market.
Zara』s Marketing Strategy
Zara』s marketing strategy focuses on proct variety, speed-to-market, and store location. It is also notable for what it excludes. Zara does not advertise in the traditional sense. If you want to find out what』s currently available at the Zara stores you have two options: go to the web site or go to the store. Zara puts 10,000 different items on the store shelves in a single year. It can take a new style from concept to store shelf in 10-14 days in an instry where nine months is the norm. In its primary European markets, Zara locates its stores close together. Visitors comment that Zara in Madrid is like Starbucks in a major U.S. city—you see another store on every street corner.
Zara』s Toronto store is located just north of the center of downtown in a major shopping district dense with malls and lined with stand-alone stores and giant office buildings. The potential for intense competition is clear.
「These office buildings are full of the people we want as customers. We want them to stop in at lunch or after work. We want to see them often, so we have to change what we have on the shelves,」 said Zara』s Toronto store manager. 「They could shop in a lot of other stores, so we have to make it worth their time to come here.」
This also helps explain why the company does not advertise. If a Zara customer wants to know what Zara has, he or she must go to the store. The stock changes often, with most items staying on the shelf for only a month, so the customer often finds something new and appealing. By the same token, if the customer finds nothing to buy this visit, the store』s regular customers know that tomorrow or next week—sometime soon—new goods will be on Zara』s shelves. That makes it worth another visit.
Zara relies heavily on store employees for market information. If a customer looks at a sweater and comments, 「That would look really nice with a cowl collar,」 an employee can relay that information to Spain where managers decide whether or not to proce the suggested item. If they decide to make it, they can put it on the shelf in Toronto in two weeks or less, partly because they ship by air. Ocean shipping would add at least another ten days to the time it takes to get the proct in front of the customer, undermining the speed-to-market and proct variety strategy.
The Role of Logistics
Putting the variety of goods on the shelves in Toronto and other North American stores requires an unusual, though not unique, logistics strategy for the fashion instry. Zara air expresses goods from its single distribution center in Spain, usually in small quantities. In the 1970』s, The Limited used a similar strategy to support its test marketing, air expressing small quantities of new styles from Asia to U.S. stores. In Zara』s strategy, however, the speedy shipments are part of the core strategy, not just test marketing. Zara also ships frequently, allowing lower inventories while serving its multinational market from a single distribution center in Spain.
「We receive shipments o n Tuesday and Saturday, which means that we have different items in the store at least twice a week. While each shipment replenishes items that sell well, each also includes new items. That』s why our customers come in often,」 the Toronto store manager said. 「We might get ten of one item and five of another. We』re constantly testing.」
The density of Zara』s store locations in Europe helps achieve logistics efficiencies. They can fill trucks for frequent shipment in markets close to proction and ship larger quantities by air to more distant stores. Zara keeps transportation costs low on the supply side, since most of the proction takes place in Spain. This contrasts radically to most large fashion manufacturers, which rely on low cost manufacturing in Asia and South America, but then pay higher inventory costs and move goods to market more slowly.
The air express strategy also allows Zara to maintain a multinational market presence with only one distribution center. They trade higher transportation costs for lower warehousing and inventory costs. Add to this the idea that fast transportation
supports the proct-innovation strategy that is the heart of Zara』s marketing, and the importance of logistics in Zara』s marketing strategy is clear.
The Results and the Future
Zara』s parent company, Inditex, reached $2.7 billion in 2001 revenue. This made it the fastest growing clothing manufacturer in the world. Zara, Inditex』s fastest growing division, turns its inventory twice as fast as major competitors, with an inventory-to-sales of 7% compared to an instry average of 14%. Their profitability in European operations (15%) is fifty percent higher than that of its major competitors. Zara manufactures 80% of its clothing in Europe, with most of the remaining 20% is sourced in Mexico.
While top managers are understandably closed-mouthed about their plans, Zara seems ideally positioned to penetrate the U.S. market in a major way. With some manufacturing already in Mexico, they could easily open a second distribution center aimed directly at the U.S. market. This would make their youth-oriented styles widely available in the world』s most lucrative market.
Question 1 – Zara』s Business Model and Competitive Analysis
Zara, the most profitable brand of Inditex SA, the Spanish clothing retail group, opened its first store in 1975 in La Coruña, Spain; a city which eventually became the central headquarters for Zara』s global operations. Since then they have expanded operations into 45 countries with 531 stores located in the most important shopping districts of more than 400 cities in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa. Throughout this expansion Zara has remained focused on its core fashion philosophy that creativity and quality design together with a rapid response to market demands will yield profitable results. In order to realized these results Zara developed a business model that incorporated the following three goals for operations: develop a system the requires short lead times, decrease quantities proced to decrease inventory risk, and increase the number of available styles and/or choice. These goals helped to formulate a unique value proposition: to combine moderate prices with the ability to offer new clothing styles faster than its competitors. These three goals helped to shape Zara』s current business model.
Zara』s Business Model
Zara』s business model can be broken down into three basic components: concept, capabilities, and value drivers. Zara』s fundamental concept is to maintain design, proction, and distribution processes that will enable Zara to respond quickly to shifts in consumer demands. José María Castellano, CEO of Inditex stated that "the fashion world is in constant flux and is driven not by supply but by customer demand. We need to give consumers what they want, and if I go to South America or Asia to make clothes, I simply can't move fast enough." This highlights the importance of this quick response time to Zara』s operations.
Capabilities of Zara, or the required resources needed to exploit the opportunities and execute this conceptual strategy, are numerous for Zara. Zara maintains tight control over their proction processes keeping design and manufacturing in-house or with some strategic partnerships located nearby Headquarters. Currently, Zara maintains 80% of its proction processes in Europe, 50% in Spain which is very close to La Coruña headquarters. They have strategic agreements with local manufacturers that ensure timely delivery and service. Through these strategic partnerships and the benefits brought by this proximity of manufacturing and operational processes, Zara maintains the flexibility necessary to design and proce over 12000 new items annually. This capability allows Zara to achieve their strategy of expedited response to consumer demand.
Value drivers for Zara are both tangible and intangible in the benefits that are returned to all stakeholders. Tangibly, Inditex, the parent company of Zara, has 11.02% net margin on operations and their market capitalization (Equity – market value) is
