The results indicate that the factors of size, income volatility, and the concentration of owner’s equity have positive relation with the capital structure, while the relation between profit- ability and capital structure is negative. It is also found that the influencing of growth and secured asset on the capital structure are relatively insignificant.展开更多

Brand equity was separated into four constructs （brand loyalty, perceived quality, brand awareness and brand associations）, and each one was examined individually. A sample of hotel guests, who accommodated at four- and five-star branded hotels, in four tourism destinations in Egypt, was selected. A structured questionnaire that included established scales was then used to measure brand loyalty, perceived quality, brand awareness, brand associations and customer satisfaction. Data were collected from 280 usable questionnaires answered by hotel guests, and the relationships among the four variables of brand equity and customer satisfaction were examined using correlation analysis and structural equation modelling. The study found that brand loyalty, brand awareness and brand associations all had a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction. Perceived quality, however, did not have any effect. These findings suggest that customer satisfaction is a reasonable measure for the success of branding activities, and that branding managers should focus on brand loyalty, awareness and associations to raise their customers＇ satisfaction.展开更多
