The study is conducted in the context of South Africa, outlining the impact of diluting the market with price-cutting foreign brands in the automotive manufacturing and retail sector. The research is a qualitative study conducted using focus groups of consumers who are car owners. Findings from the study show that the brand loyalty of established brands is at risk of being cannibalised. However focusing on building customer relationships and improving customer experiences can reinvigorate the legitimacy of established brands. pagibs2024 2024-05-10T08:29:44Z 2024-05-10T08:29:44Z 2024-04-17 2024-04-17 Mini Dissertation * A2024 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/95879 en © 2023 University of Pretoria.
