2. Unwillingness of respondents: While collecting the data many students were unwilling to fill the
questionnaire. Respondents were having a feeling of wastage of time for them.
3. Limited area for research: The area for study has been restricted only to online mode because of
which the findings may have a limited value.
4. Respondents’ bias: There has been biasness in the responses given by respondents due to fear of
losing their positions
5. Researcher’s bias: There may be biasness on the part of researcher while collecting data and selecting
the sample.
Policy implications
As earlier reviewed, brand image is considered to be significant in influencing customer
behavior positively.
Managers within, and outside the sector, India and other non collectivist culture should
acknowledge findings from this study and the relevance of the valuables studied and the
power of brand image in influencing consumer behavior and seek to constantly explore and
assess brand image impact on similar variables for effective and long-term customer delight.
The danger, therefore, is that whereas it is known that a poorly developed and presented
brand image will lead to disaster, the neglect of such vital organizational issue, may lead to
loss of customers as there may be low satisfaction and therefore low loyalty and commitment
to organizations market offering.

Recommendations
The researcher has proposed recommendations which are purely suggestive; the applicability of the same would
depend up on the changes in the environment, the planning premises and resource availability.
Studies on brand image and most importantly brand equity and there impact within and outside the organization
is still in its infancy and is evolving with more complications in terms of definition and measurement.
Further research is, therefore, needed on the conceptualization and measurement of brand image and its impact on
other customer related issues like: sales, promotion, and organizations return on investments.
Such research is urgently needed and will provide deeper insight into an area that although very important to
sustainable profit, is indeed riddled with lack of agreement.
The study will further highlight on the usefulness of brand in the twenty-first century organization and on how
more and more organizations are depending on brand for survival in highly competitive environment.
