Abstract

This study uses the antecedents of customer based brand equity (CBBE) model (i.e. brand awareness, loyalty, association, and perceived quality) to assess the competitive performance of private universities in Ghana from the perspective of undergraduate business students’. The data for the study was collected from (10) private universities that are located in the Greater Accra in Greater Accra Region of Ghana. To have a representation of students at different stages in their studies at each of the private universities sampled a convenience sampling is used. A total of 30 classes with varying sizes provided a total of 400 respondents. These classes served as for the administration of the questionnaire. Using Ordinary Least-Squares regression it was found that brand awareness and brand association are significantly related to the performance of private universities. However, brand loyalty and perceived quality are not significantly related to performance of private universities.
