مولانا سید اسعد مدنی

مولانا سید اسعد مدنی ؒ
افسوس صد افسوس کہ ۶؍ فروری کو مولانا اسعد مدنی نے داعی اجل کو لبیک کہا، اناﷲ وانا الیہ راجعون، ان کی وفات قوم و ملت کا بڑا خسارہ ہے۔
راقم نے انہیں کئی بار دیکھا اور اس حال میں دیکھا جب وہ صحت مند، توانا، تروتازہ، متحرک اور جوش عمل سے سر شار تھے لیکن ملاقات کا شرف دو تین بار ہی حاصل ہوا، مارچ ۱۹۸۸؁ء میں ان کے والد بزرگوار مولانا سید حسین احمد مدنیؒ پر مسجد عبدالنبی نئی دہلی میں سمینار ہوا تھا جس کے کنویز ڈاکٹر رشید الوحیدی مرحوم تھے، اس میں پہلی بار ان سے شرف نیاز حاصل ہوا، بڑی بشاشت اور گرم جوشی سے ملے، آخری بار ۱۹۹۲؁ء میں سعودی سفارت خانے سے حج بیت اﷲ کا ویزا لینے گیا تو دفعتاً ان پر نظر پڑی، لپک کر ملا، دریافت کرنے پر اپنے کو بتایا تو قریب کی کرسی پر بیٹھنے کے لیے کہا اور کچھ دیر تک باتیں کیں، غالباً بیماریوں کا سلسلہ شروع ہوچکا تھا، اس لیے مجھے بہت مضمحل اور بجھے بجھے سے نظر آئے۔

اس وقت مسلمان بڑی ابتلا اور کشمکش کے دور سے گزر رہے ہیں، ملی قیادت کا میدان مولانا حفظ الرحمان مرحوم کے بعد ہی سے خالی چلا آرہا تھا، مولانا اسعد کی جرأت و بے باکی سے اس کی تلافی ایک حد تک ہوئی مگر ان کے اٹھ...

Antecedents of Brand Extension Success in Glocalization: A Mediation and Moderation Analysis

This research is focused on finding whether brand extension strategy can be used in this glocalized markets and what are the antecedents (Mediating and Moderating variables) of successful brand extension? Glocalization has become a serious concern for managers that they have to manage the global brands with local trends and local brands in the global trends. Brand extension is a strategy in which new products can be launched under existing brand name due to which multinational and local firms expects that their consumers will respond to the product either positively or negatively because they are already familiar of the existing brand name or the parent brand. Two actual real time brands one representing close extension and other an example of distance extension has been used in this research and the sample respondents have been selected in a way that it is a good representation of population. No such broad and empirical research on brand extension in Pakistani context has been carried out. The independent variables used in this study are (1) Consumer Perceived Brand Concept, (2) Brand Image (3) Brand loyalty (4) Brand Evangelist (5) Parent Brand Conviction (6) Perceived Risk of unknown (7) Marketing support (8) Parent Brand Experience (9) Consumer Perceived Fit and dependent variable was Successful brand extension evaluation. Self developed questionnaire with items adapted from various past studies was self administrated among the sample respondents by simple random sampling. For close (Sufi Frozen Food) extension 464 sample respondents filled questionnaire. For Distance (Guard Rice) extension 432 respondents filled out questionnaire. Questionnaire was distributed outside famous big retail grocery stores like Agha‟s , Naheed, Chaseup and Imtiaz store located in Clifton Schon Circle, Shaheed-e-Millat Road and KPT Interchange respectively. 27 hypotheses were formulated for Close and Distance extensions. Data screening was performed on the data collected like Missing values, Aberrant values, detecting outliers (Mahalanobis distance) from the respondents, Normality test and questionnaire reliability. Cronbach Alpha was taken out of 37 question items and instrument revealed reliability with score greater than 0.6. Hierarchical regression, Single Mediation, Multi mediation (Sobel Test, Preacher & Hayes test) and Moderation analysis were applied to test the hypotheses. After test run lot of new concepts have unfold which are important to know before one opts for brand extension strategy in the glocal market context. Results reveal previous parent brand image built does not affect the consumer evaluation and hence managers should not worry about the past positive or negative image while deciding to use brand extension strategy for close or distance extension for brand development. Perceived Risk of Unknown as moderator does not moderate the relationship between Brand Image and Success of Brand Extension Evaluation. It means that these days consumers in Pakistan are not worried to put their money on unknown brand.
