Limitations
• explorative instrument providing theoretical
assistance in making strategic brand architecture
decisions
• many empirical clues, no empirical proof
• smooth transition between standard brand
architecture strategies
• real-life product portfolios often consist of mixtures of
functionally, experientially, symbolicly & emotionally
positioned products
• other stakeholders (employees, shareholders,
retailers)  different brand architecture strategy?
