This research examines whether it is possible, through a firm's marketing efforts, to imbue a brand with meanings and give it a "personality." A model is presented and tested which includes associations representing three categories of brand associations: product attributes, corporate associations, and user imagery. It is shown that manipulating these associations in print advertisements results in different perceived brand personality traits being associated with the test brand. Among the three types of brand associations tested, user imagery is found to be the most powerful influencer of brand personality perceptions. The results also indicate that different types of brand associations may be combined to produce a desired brand personality profile.

Corporate culture and reputation are intangible assets firms use to create a competitive strategic advantage to differentiate themselves from other firms to enhance firm performance. Numerous articles cite how corporate culture may be an important intangible predictor of reputation, but only a few researchers have empirically tested the relationship between culture and reputation. Using a sample of 104 firms, we find that culture not only enhances financial performance (as indicated by other research), but also is positively related to reputation. Furthermore, our findings suggest that reputation acts as a mediator between culture and financial performance.

Literature on face-to-face intercultural business communication (IBC) suggests that language, culture, business culture, and interpersonal context variables lead to misunderstandings, but these predictors have not been studied with regard to e-mail communication. This exploratory study identifies variables that cause e-mail miscommunication, reduce work accomplishment, and harm business relationships. We conducted a survey to capture the effect of common predictors and asked respondents to share the most commonly employed strategies when communication problems arose. We offer a multi-dimensional model for further research.
