Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship of brand awareness and brand equity on the impact of students’ decision-making in selecting Higher educational institutions (HEIs). Following that, this study also seeks to examine the moderating role of digital marketing in enhancing the relationship between students’ decision-making in choosing their future HEI. Competition among Higher educational institutions (HEIs) are getting intense. Universities are making creative efforts to showcase their uniqueness and strengths to attract and meet the demands of potential students. Therefore, HEIs are progressively involved in establishing and enhancing their brand to gain a sustainable competitive edge. The emergence of Industry 4.0 led to the idea of incorporating technologies into various sectors including HEI. This study empowers universities to craft tailored strategies that effectively allure and retain students who align with their academic offerings and cater to the demands of their potential students. This study employs non-probability sampling using questionnaires distributed among high school students with a total is 151 samples. It was found that brand awareness positively related to students’ decision while brand equity failed to impact students’ decision-making in selecting HEI. It was also found that digital marketing is moderating the relationships understudied. This research paves a way for HEIs to have a better understanding toward their potential students and thus execute proper strategies to attract students.
