There is no such standard answer to that, or you can say that all of these are the possible medias to promote company competitive advantages. But there is one efficient way to integrate all company activities, which is so called “Branding”.

That’s why a gap exists when they take different attitudes toward their goals. The head office need to communication with dealer about the core value of the brand, that’s help to reduce the gap between them. Head office sharing the strategy and planning, and join to the dealer opinion when making decision, that’s good for developing the brand equity. 3.The attitude of supervisors plays a key role in developing brand equity, because the process of brand establishment takes a long time strategy execution and a lot of resources, and it will not be achieved without the support of supervisors. 4.The strategic purpose of establishing brand equity is to obtain fully communication with executer, and through educational activities to convey brand spirit is highly suggested. And the key point of developing brand equity is the co-ordination between strategy and execution.
