Customization and Brand in Customer Identity Communication

We distinguish Combination-based Customization (CbC) and Integration-based Customization (IbC), and propose that, in presence of the brand, CbC receives higher customer reactions than IbC. In absence of the brand, the opposite pattern holds. We identify two boundary conditions of the competition effect between IbC and brand. Results support our framework.
