This research project would not have been possible without the support of many
people. Firstly I wish to express my deep sincere gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Tran
Ha Minh Quan for his invaluable advices and helps. Without him, this thesis could not
have been completed.
Special thanks to all instructors without whose knowledge and assistance this
study would not have been successful. My debt is also acknowledged to Dr. Barry
Clough from Dragon-Mekong-CTU for his kindness and help in English editing.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude and honor to my dear parents for
not only the love they devote to me but also for the time I took from them which
should have been my devotion to them in their aged time.
My thanks would also go to all of my classmates, mycolleagues, especially my
“old pals”, Nguyen Thanh Trung and Ms Dang Hai Yen for all of their friendship and
encouragement.
I also wish to thank my friends in Vietcombank, VPBank, Navibank and Tien
Phong bank for their great support. My thanks wouldalso go to the respondents,
without them, my thesis could not have been done.
Finally, my greatest thanks would go to my dear wife, Vu Thi Thuy Duong and
my two sons, Vu and Phuc who are my whole life and are the greatest inspiration and
encouragement for me to overcome all difficulties through the duration of my study.

4.3.2 Exploratory factor analysis
All variables retained were then put into EFA. The purpose of this step was to
continuously purify the instrument and to identify the components that explain for the
correlation between variables or sets of variables. One of the underlying objectives of
EFA is to reduce a large number of variables to a minimum number that can explain
most of the characteristics of the original variables. Each component extracted from the
original set of variables represents a discriminated aspect of the construct being
studied. These extracted variables then can be used as independent variables in later
analysis. The EFA model is expressed in the following equation:
Fi=Wi1X1+ Wi2X2+ Wi3X3+…+ WikXk
43
where
Fi : Estimated value of Factor i
Wik : Weight or factor score coefficient
Xk:: variable k
k: Number of variable
There are two common techniques used to extract factors in EFA, principal
components analysis and principal factors analysis. In most cases, these two methods
usually yield very similar results. However, principal components analysis is often
preferred as a method for data reduction, while principal factors analysis is often
preferred when the goal of the analysis is to detect structure (StatSoft, 2008).
The current study employs principal components analysis with varimax rotation
technique. As the ultimate purpose of running EFA in this study is to reduce the
variables for MLR in the later stage, principal component analysis is a better choice.
Principal components analysis with varimax rotation method maximizes the variance
on the new axes; in other words, this combination will minimize numbers of variables
with high factor loading in the same factor, lending itself to easier interpretation (Trong
& Ngoc, 2005).
The results of EFA are shown in table 4.3. There are 10 factors extracted at
Eigenvalues of 1.022 and total explained variance of 70.641. all factor loading are
greater than the cut-off value of 0.4. The result of KMO and Bartlett's Test is also very
high (0.913 at p=0.00). This indicates that EFA is suitable and all measures can be used
for the next analysis.

The service quality scale was developed basing on the Spiros et al (2004)’s scale
which covered all aspects of Parasuraman et al (1988)’s service quality measurement.
However, only three components were extracted (see table 4.3). They include three
variables representing the tangible aspects (SQ1, SQ2,SQ4) and the scale is called
tangibles as it was originally termed. The second component (SQ5 to SQ9) is closely
related to the reliability and responsiveness perspective and here referred to as
“affectivity”. The last component, consisting of 5 variables, SQ10 to SQ14, is
characterized as “staff competence”.
Factor loading of the variables contained in eight scales (10 components) are all
greater than .4. The lowest is of variable SQ 14 – Bank [X]’s employees give me
personal attention (0.448). Thus all the variables were then useable. The EFA result for
each scale is provided in table 4.4.

4.4 Testing the research model and the hypotheses
4.4.1 Testing correlations between all constructs
It was proposed in chapter 2 that the research model includes 13 hypotheses. To test
those hypotheses, the first step was to test the correlations between dependent variables
and the independent variables and among independent variables as well. Then multiple
linear regressions were run to confirm the relationships among them. The correlation
analysis results shown in table 4.5 temporarily allow us to expect that there are positive
relationships between the brand evaluations and the brand associations (H1 to H 10) as
well as between the customer-brand relationship and the brand evaluations (H11, H12,
H13).
4.4.2 Testing research model
4.4.2.1 The relationship between rational evaluation and the brand associations.
Hypotheses from H1 to H5 assume that the rational evaluation positively relate to the
brand associations (see figure 4.4). The correlation analysis results preliminarily let us
be aware of these relationships. However, to ascertain that they truly exist, or in other
words, to confirm that all those hypotheses are statistical significant, the first MLR
Model (Model I) was run. The “rational relationship” component extracted in the
previous step then played the role of a dependent variable. The “enter” method was
employed to select all independent variables that would be put into the model.
47
Figure 4.4. Relationships between rational evaluation
and the brand associations
The MLR results are presented in table 4.5a and table 4.5b. The regression coefficient
R square (adjusted) is .424. ANOVA results showed that this model had a F value of
31.946. at sig. = .000 These results allowed us to reject the null hypothesis that all the
regression coefficients equal zero ( β1 = β2= β3 =…= βk. =0). However, the adjusted R
square value is rather low, indicating that the model’s goodness of fit for the population
is not so high.

To decide which hypothesis is statistically significant, partial regression
coefficients were tested with t value. The results in table 4.5b show that four latent
variables (representing three associations) are statistical significant5. In other words,
only three hypotheses, out of six, are supported. (see figure 4.5)

4.4.2.2 The relationship between emotional evaluation and the brand associations.
The same way as above, the second regression model (model II) was run to test the
hypotheses between emotional evaluation and the brand associations (see figure 4.6).
The adjusted R square of the second model is .358, F value is 24.434 at .000
significance. These results also allow us to conclude that the model fits with the data.
Yet the goodness of fit is also quite low.( Table 4.6a)

4.4.2.3 The customer-brand relationships.
Before testing the hypotheses assuming the relationship between “customer-brand
relationships” construct and brand evaluations, this step first tests the assumption that
the rational evaluation is positively related to the emotional evaluation (H11). The third
regression was run (Model IIIa).

4.5 Findings and conclusion
4.5.1 Findings
MLR results in this chapter have brought out some unexpected outcomes. “Brand
differentiation” (H4) and “trust & credibility” (H5) were not supported in their
relationship with “rational evaluation”. The contention might be that in the rational
perspective, customers make their judgment based on what they see, feel or touch
(service quality). It might be more important that a “real” rational evaluation, the
cost/benefit evaluation (price) and/or what they expect to receive is satisfied by the
bank (brand promise). In this perspective, emotion-based associations, like
differentiation or trust and credibility, might not make sense. The results shown in table
4.5b clearly support this argument.
Regarding the relationships between emotional evaluation and the brand
associations, only four hypotheses were confirmed, H6 (service quality), H7 (price
competitiveness), H9 (differentiation) and H10 (trust and credibility).
If there is evidence that tangible aspect had an impact on rational evaluation
(β=.123, sig=.014), it does not have an emotional impact. Only “affectivity” and “staff
competence” were significantly correlated to the customer emotional appraisal. The
57
reasoning might be that the appearance of banking equipment and facilities may result
in a professional image of the bank which may then generates trust from the customer
for their rational consideration. However, it might not touch their emotion. But
affectivity and employee competence are important factors that strongly influence
customers’ sentimental preferences to the bank.
By comparing the results in table 4.6b with those in table 4.5b, we can see “price
competitiveness” is relevant to both rational and emotional evaluations. However, it
plays a more important role in rational assessment (β=0.448, sig.=.000) than it does in
the emotional perspective (β=0.248, sig.=.000). From this standpoint, service quality
makes a larger proportion (β= 0.405, sig.=.005) than the price competitiveness
(β=0.248, sig.=.000). Brand differentiation and brand trust and credibility also
contributed to the emotional judgment of the customer.
In sum, by comparing the results between model I and model II, we can conclude
that, from a rational perspective, price competitiveness dominates the customer’s
judgment. From the emotional angle, service quality takes over.
From a causal-effect perspective, this study ultimately examines the contribution
of rational evaluation and emotional evaluation to the customer-brand relationship. As
the results in table 4.8b show, the statistical evidence lets us conclude that the
customer’s emotional evaluation contributes more than the rational consideration to the
customer loyalty to a brand (customer-brand relationship). This is in line with Berry
(2000)’s argument that “great brands always make an emotional connection with the
intended audience. They reach beyond the purely rational and purely economic level to
spark feelings of closeness, affection, and trust”. The relationship is expressed in the
following simple equation:
RL = 0.402 EE + 0.366 RE
Where
RL : Customer-brand relationship
58
EE: Emotional evaluation
RE: Rational evaluation
(to simplify , no constant and residual are put in the equation)
4.5.2 Conclusion
This chapter provides the analysis results and main findings of the study. The statistical
evidence revealed some unexpected results. Several arguments that explain the
research results are also presented in this chapter. Not all hypotheses from the research
model were supported and therefore, an adjusted model is suggested below (Fig. 4.9).

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
5.1 Introduction
Chapter 4 presented the analysis results and the main findings of the study. A modified
model was also proposed in the chapter. This chapter summarized all hypotheses that
will be used to answer for the research questions in this chapter. Some implications are
suggested for academics and practitioners as well. The limitations of this study and
some suggestions for further research are also presented in this chapter. The structure
for chapter five is showed in figure 5.1.

5.2.2 Conclusions of the study
From the analysis outcomes and the findings presented in chapter 4, with reference to
the above tested hypotheses, this study concludes that the first research question is not
fully positively answered. This means that the original model of CBBE developed by
Martensen & Grønholdt (2004) can not be applied in the Vietnamese banking service
without any adaptation. As argued in chapter 2, product quality was not included in the
model. As the results, only five brand associations are confirmed in the model. They
consist of service quality, price, brand promise, brand differentiation and trust &
61
credibility. A modified model is proposed for the CBBE in the Vietnamese banking
perspective. The relationship between emotional evaluation and rational evaluation;
and those between these evaluations and customer-brand relationship were
significantly supported. This result is consistent with the original model.
To answer the second research question, the results in Table 5.1 reveal that,
instead of six, only three parameters, service quality, price and brand promise correlate
positively with customers’ rational evaluation. From the emotional perspective, there
are only four parameters proved to be positively related to the emotional evaluation.
These associations consist of service quality, price, brand differentiation and trust and
credibility.
5.3 Implications of the study
5.3.1 Theoretical implications
The aim of the current study is to test a general model of customer-based brand
equity into the banking service perspective. The findings suggest that the theoretical
model is not fully supported. However, the modified model can be used as a point of
departure for those who intend to study the CBBE in the banking industry in Vietnam.
As there is no specific model of CBBE for banking services in Vietnam so far, this
model is the first that provides a clear image of the dimensions that contribute to the
brand equity in banking service.
Secondly, this study contributes to the marketing literature a measurement scale
as a useful instrument to measure the brand equity in banking service. The advantage
of this instrument is that it can be used flexibly. For example, most of the observed
variables presented in this study might also be useful for those who would follow
Aaker’s approach to measure brand equity of banking service in an emerging economy
like Vietnam.
62
5.3.2 Practical implications
This study provides an insight into brand equity in banking industry. And thus, it can
furnish bank managers a structured approach to formulate their branding strategies.
The weight of the relationship between each of the brand equity dimensions or that of
the sub components and the loyalty formation helps them to prioritize and allocate
limited resources across brand equity dimensions/components to reach their objectives
in a most efficient way. This is consistent with a study of banking system in New
Zealand conducted by Macpherson Publishing (1999) whose argument is “banks need
to understand what drives satisfaction and loyalty, and where there is greatest
opportunity for improvement”. For example, maybe the bank management would
rather maintain a reasonable price level while increase the service quality (affectivity,
employee competence) to achieve more customer loyalty than merely use a price cut-
down or promotion campaign.
The modified CBBE model can be also used as a guideline for customer
relationship management in banking service. By better understanding the contributions
of brand equity components to the customer attitude towards the brand, bank managers
might set up criteria to classify customers into different groups, for instance “price
sensitive” group or “rationally-based” group and “emotionally-based” group. Then the
bank can have different policy for each group.
At the beginning of this study it was expected that the rational perspective (in
terms of low price) would be most important for the banking industry. But interestingly
the findings of this study do not support this view. Even though price competitiveness
dominates the customer rational evaluation and is also involved in the emotional
evaluation, the emotional evaluation finally contributes a larger proportion to the
customer loyalty. On the one hand, it positively impacts on the rational perceptions, i.e.
the more the customer’s mentally prefer the brand, the higher they perceive the brand
value and the greater their satisfaction with the brand. On the other hand, emotional
63
perceptions play a larger role in forming customer loyalty to the brand.
Understanding the way that customer loyalty is formed, bank managers might
need to inspire emotions in the customer’s mind by offering superior service
performance, differentiating the brand from competitors by providing customers with
advantage that other banks would find hard to copy, generating trust from the target
audience with consistent service quality and never communicating a value or service
that the bank can not deliver.
5.4 Limitations and recommendations for further research
Like any other research, this study has many limitations. The first one is in the
sampling. Samples were selected by the convenience method. This is the least reliable
form of non-probability sampling. Respondents were bank customers who are currently
in transaction with the selected banks. Many of them are very familiar with the bank
therefore they might over-rate the bank. In addition, the sample consists of individual
customers only. This may not fully reflect all aspects of customer perception about
bank operations, as others, for example business customers, may have very different
views.
Second, only two brands were selected in Can Tho city. Even though the banking
industry is a very systematical industry (i.e. the consistence within a system nationwide
is very high), this study needs to be repeated elsewhere, especially in bigger cities like
Ho Chi Minh or Hanoi, and with more bank brands involved.
Another limitation of the study is the lack of brand awareness in the model.
Though brand awareness was not found significant in the model of CBBE in the
financial service industry (Taylor et al, 2007) or in the hotel industry (Kayaman and
Arasli, 2007), brand awareness is a critical dimension for brand equity (a key task of
brand management is to get the brand in the target consumer’s consideration set)
(Kayaman and Arasli, 2007). Therefore, it is suggested that brand awareness be
64
included as a parameter in an extended model of customer-based bank equity for
banking services.
Finally, readers are advised to interpret these research results with caution. As
pointed out in chapter 4, the goodness of fit of the regression models were all
acceptable but not so high.
