本研究從企業品牌經營角度，探討調節焦點與品牌評價之關係，以探究調節目標消費者對品牌評價的影響，目的於提出顧客心理潛意識差異將影響品牌價值，採取全球化科技品牌為個案樣本，進行質化研究，搜集相關原始與次級資料，透過個案分析與訪談，佐證調節焦點理論觀點，分類歸納相關結論與發現，如下簡述：
1、預防焦點趨向穏健型消費者與促進焦點趨向積極型消費者。
2、預防-穏健型傾向能力與稱職品牌個性；促進-積極型傾向興奮和刺激品牌個性。
3、穏健型消費者心理結構變項為務實、專注、穏紮穏打及要贏，潛在執著自我保守，訴求 可靠與容易；積極型消費者心理結構變項為積極、衝勁及品味格調，潛在執著自我突破，訴求便利與方便。
4、科技品牌調節目標訴求，發現消費者比較傾向預防目標，若採取促進焦點目標為訴求，將導致調節目標消費者雙面刃效果；目標一致性與否將影響消費者對品牌評價偏好態度與正負向效果。
5、調節目標消費者心理結構、經營決策及品牌評價三者是相互關聯性，具有正負向聯想，加減分效果，且目標一致與否將影響品牌權益與績效。
6、Gain潛在心理負向詮釋為貪求、貪心及在乎多一點；Loss潛在心理負向詮釋為在乎缺失 與失去。
7、資料顯示調節焦點認知正負向詮釋，將反映消費者潛在心理需求和知覺，有助洞悉消費者心理結構差異性。
8、調節目標消費者類型和品牌評價二者關聯性，關鍵於消費者是否經歷regulatory fit過程，結果發現regulatory fit將影響品牌正負向效果與品牌價值效益高低之中介變項，而影響二者外在變項有五個重要介面，首先為消費者最甜蜜點，藉以維繫顧客與品牌權益關係，次為目標過程的流暢力，調節目標之消費者與策略之gain/nongain及loss/nonloss一致性與否，第三為明確品牌定位，顧客對品牌聯想與品牌知名度之訴求，第四為品牌經營策略，包括顧客價值觀及品質知覺，最後為品牌行銷策略，洞察消費者行為及態度偏好導向，資料顯示發現調節目標消費者潛在心理結構和品牌評價績效二者具有密切關係，交互關聯性。

Branding is a core competitive advantage for a globalize enterprise. Business operational mission is to create their brand equity to pursue profit maximum as the greatest target. The most important concept of building a strong brand is to manage customer relationship from clients’ subconscious viewpoints. Thus, this had a great effect to set up a long-term customer loyalty and identification with brand to encourage brand valuation by way of the sympathetic response of brands.

The objective is to provide evidence on regulatory focus theory that customers’ subconscious difference has influence on how they evaluate a brand. Regarding the study methodology, a qualitative research is taken by collecting the relevant information of original and secondary materials based on cases of globalization brands in IT industry. The collections are classified and deduced to a conclusion through case analysis and in-depth interviews to confirm regulatory focus theory. The results of study are summarized as bellow：

1、The prevention-focused individuality incline toward a mature and experienced consumers while promotion-focused individuality tends to be aggressive consumers.
2、The prevention-focused consumers tend to a competence dimensions of brand personality. The promotion-focused consumers tend to excitement dimensions of brand personality.
3、The psychological variables of prevention-focused consumers are realistic and concentrated, have a plan for executing and pursue for winning, potentially inflexible self-conservative. Easy and dependable appeal is suggested. The psychological variables of promotion-focused consumers are active and aggressive, keen on tasteful style, potentially inflexible self-breakthrough. Convenient appeal is suggested.
4、According to the study findings, based on IT brand regulatory goal, consumers prefer more on prevention target than promotion target. The promotion target will lead to double-edged effect if they adopt promotion-orientated goal. The results of goal compatibility and goal conflict with related brands will influence more v.s. less favorable attitudes in consumption and positive v.s. negative effect of brand evaluation.
5、The regulatory-focused consumers、business decision and brand evaluation are interrelated. The influence of results is to shed light on positive v.s. negative brand association and increased v.s. subtracted effect. In addition, whether the goal is compatible or not will affect brand equity and brand performance.
6、Gain potential interpretation includes greed and more concern. Loss potential interpretation includes caring about shortage and miss in subconscious construction.
7、The positive or negative interpretation of regulatory focus cognition will reflect consumers potential psychology needs and perception , which enhances insight into variance of consumer psychological construction of prevention focus and promotion focus.
8、The relevancy between regulatory-focused consumers and brand evaluation relies on whether consumers experience the process of regulatory fit. The result finds that regulatory fit is intervening variables influenced positive or negative brand outcome and brand valuation benefit. There are five most important extraneous variables. Firstly, consumer sweet spot maintains the relation between customers and brand equity. Second, the process of goal fluency affects the outcome of goal compatibility or conflict between gain/nongain and loss/nonloss target. Third, brand positioning identification appeals to brand association and awareness. Fourth, brand operational strategy includes customer value and products quality perception.
