Brand Strategy And Business Performance: How Does Logo Changes Affect Sales And Stock Prices?

Branding strategy influences business performance significantly. This paper investigates how logo changes affect the sales and stock price. Previous research has focused on the importance of logo design. However, none have analyzed empirical data on actual companies that can be utilized to further interpret the real-world implications of existing restaurant brands. A quantitative, statistical analysis employing an ANOVA, Mann-Kendall, and a correlational test was conducted to determine whether a logo change had a particularly significant change, trend, and pattern on a restaurant brand’s stock price and revenue sales. Furthermore, company logos were categorized between logotypes (text) and combination marks (symbolism and text) to determine whether different types of logos have alternative effects. Results showed that a logo redesign didn’t have a significant effect on the stock price. However, there was a significant change in revenue sales after a logo change for certain companies after ~1-2 years with logotypes typically having more success.

Responsible Environmental Management: Sustainable Strategy Models for the Future

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between responsible en- vironmental management and business performance, emphasizing sustainable strategy models that enhance both environmental sustainability and profitability in modern organizations.

The findings reveal a statistically significant positive impact of responsible environmental management on both environmental sustainability (β = 0.72, p < 0.01) and business performance (β = 0.65, p < 0.01). Addi- tionally, environmental sustainability was found to positively influence business performance (β = 0.54, p < 0.01). These results validate the relevance of models such as the Triple Bottom Line and Circular Economy, providing action- able insights for companies aiming to enhance competitiveness while achieving sustainability goals. This study highlights the practical implications for busi- ness leaders and policymakers, particularly in fostering sustainable practices that align with both regulatory demands and long-term profitability. Future research is recommended to explore the longitudinal impacts of these strategies across different sectors and regulatory environments.

Knowledge sharing and sustainable competitive advantage: Mediating role of innovation culture and MSMEs business performance

This research aims to investigate how business performance (BP) and innovation culture (IC) mediate the relationship between knowledge sharing (KS) and sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) of MSMEs operating in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The survey method was employed to gather the necessary data for this research. The population and sample consisted of 50 MSMEs. The unit of analysis in this study is the MSMEs fashionpreneur Jogja Fashion Dunia Incubation Program, which is represented by the owner and manager, who also serves as the respondent. The analysis method employed in this research is Partial Least Squares (PLS) using SmatPLS 4 software. The investigation results demonstrate that knowledge sharing has a significant impact on both the innovation culture and long-term competitive advantage. Additionally, the study reveals that the innovation culture significantly influences business performance and lasting competitive advantage. However, it is worth noting that business performance does not have a noticeable effect on sustainable competitive advantage. Furthermore, the study indicates that the relationship between knowledge sharing and sustainable competitive advantage is mediated by the innovation culture. On the other hand, when business performance acts as a mediator, the effect of the innovation culture and knowledge sharing on competitive advantage is indiscernible. To create exceptional customer value, policymakers and MSME management must showcase a firm dedication to innovation and connect it to supply chain agility, also known as SCA. Ultimately, this will result in comprehensive and enduring business performance.
