Individual case study · 100 points · Due Week 9
Harley-Davidson has one of the strongest brand identities in any industry and an ageing core customer. Analyse the brand management problem that creates.
Consider:
What does the Harley brand actually stand for, and to whom? Separate what the company says from what the market believes. Where does its brand equity come from — awareness, associations, perceived quality, loyalty? Which of these is most at risk? The company has repeatedly tried to reach younger and broader riders, including electric models. Assess those attempts: did they extend the brand or dilute it? What is the real risk of repositioning a brand whose value rests substantially on heritage and community? Recommend a brand strategy for the next five years and defend it against an obvious objection from the other direction.
