Abstract: The paper reports findings from a larger study of sponsors and their relationship to sponsored parties. In the present reporting, the focus is on sponsors. Rather than evaluating such sponsorships in traditional effect hierarchical terms, a conceptual Sponsor Value Model is specified as a structural equation model where the drivers are attitudes towards the sponsorship and emotions towards the sponsorship. It is found that the two classes of variables describe different aspects of the perception of sponsorships, and that they both contribute significantly to the overall value of sponsoring for a particular company. In the present paper, two cases are shown for two major sponsors. The specified Sponsor Value Model is estimated by a partial least squares (PLS) method. It is found that the two sponsors are perceived differently, both in terms of emotional and attitudinal responses. It is also found that the emotional responses aroused by the sponsorships are at least as important as those ascribable to attitudinal elements. Key words: Sponsorship, emotional response, attitudes towards sponsorship, structural equation model URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6642 Files in this item: 1

Development, Validation and Application of a ModelMartensen, Anne; Grønholdt, Lars (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to develop a reputation model for higher education programmes, provide empirical evidence for the model and illustrate its application by using Copenhagen Business School (CBS) as the recurrent case. The developed model is a cause-and-effect model linking image to reputation via rational and emotional evaluations as well as relevant corporate identity determinants. As reputation, image and identity are very complex concepts, it is important to determine which of the many elements should be included in the model. This paper discusses why a given aspect is important for higher education reputation and which relations exist between the included determinants from a theoretical perspective. It is demonstrated how the model and measurement system may be a useful management tool for the improvement of the reputation of a higher education. In this way, the model can help leaders of higher education institutions to set strategic directions and support their decisions in an effort to create even better study programmes with a better reputation. Finally, managerial implications and directions for future research are discussed. Keywords: Reputation, image, corporate identity, higher education, structural equation modelling.
