P3 Analysis of different strategies of portfolio management, brand hierarchy and brand equity
management
Each and every enterprise tries to build strong brand image in market so that it can
enjoy profit and higher market share for longer time frame. Therefore, it is most valuable
intangible asset of organisation. Brand portfolio management is approach that is used to
manage current and future portfolio of brands of organisation in coordinate manners so that
maximum outcome can be gained (Bhagwat and Bach, 2016). There are two basic strategies
or approaches for portfolio management such as active portfolio management and passive
portfolio management strategy that are explained below:
Active portfolio management strategy: It is strategy that emphasis on particular styles of
management that could generate maximum return or beat market. Manager of Tesco in order
to make use of active portfolio management strategy for brand management have devote high

time and efforts to analysis market situation, identify appropriate action that can be fruitful in
taking advantages inefficiencies market.
Passive portfolio management strategy: It is another brand portfolio management strategy
that is thus contrast of active portfolio management as it relies on fact that market are
efficient. At the same time it is difficult or somewhat impossible to beat market or accept
higher returns over regular time (Mogaji, 2019). Thus, return are accepted to be generated by
low cost investment that are held for longer time frame so Tesco by using passive portfolio is
able to grow and survive where it is difficult to generate return.
Strategies those are useful for brand hierarchy
Brand hierarchy is systematic approach of classifying or structure brand distinct
elements for its sub products it is mostly used when company start diversifying its business
operation. Brand hierarchy helps in getting differentiate positioning or quick identification of
products by customers so that company can enjoy higher profit margin. There are number of
brand hierarchies that are used several organisation that are explained below:
Branded house: It is one of the most commonly used brand architecture by number of
organisation as single name, sign or logo is used to identify all product or services of firm. In
another word, in this strategy firms express its value in unified manner i.e. uses its corporate
or firm name so that diverse individuals can easily identify and make purchase for fulfilment
of their needs (Xi and Hamari, 2019).
House of brand: It is just opposite of branded house as it mainly focus on single brand
where as house of brand make use of numerous brand so that customers can easily identify.
Each brand is independent form another’s thus have differentiate look, feel, customers and
marketing strategies. So, it overcomes of the limitation of branded house that is dissolution of
whole brand image in case new products or services is unable to meet customer’s expectancy.
Endorsed: It is brand hierarchy strategy in which individual brand is directly connected to
parent brand but it neither stay in background nor take centre stage. Thus it is most suitable
for firm that have strong parent brand and weaker sub brand so that customers are motivated
to select endorsed also.
Hybrid: It is combination or mixer of all brand hierarchy such as house of brand, branded
house and endorsed and it is mostly prefer in case company is planning to merger or

acquisition with other brand. Therefore, it is most suitable for organisation that has complex
and large operation across worldwide as it helps in effective management of several resources
and complex relationship between brands.
Tesco have make use of Hybrid brand hierarchy as all are associated with main brand
named as Tesco thus it helps in attracting more customers in the organisation. Company have
international operation so various sub brand can easily identify as it is associated with main
brand name so it have contributed in growth of firm (Re-branding Tesco, 2020).

Model related to brand equity

or reputation of firm have been created over time that have contributed in gaining competitive
advantages. Keller brand equity model is used to analysis the way Tesco have created and
maintained strong brand image in minds and hearts of number of customers in UK and across
worldwide (Keller’s Brand Equity Model, 2020). Such as:
