Based on the brand image theories, this study reviewed extant studies about the impact of brand image on consumer from perspective of customer equity. It also presented the shortcomings of current research and pointed out the trends for future study. KEYWORDS Brand Image , Customer Equity , Consumer Behavior Cite this paper Zhang, Y. (2015)...
