Brand Bonding -- Nintendo
• Once, leading electronic game manufacturer with over 90% market share
• Introduced SuperNintendo game and machines that were incompatible with existing Nintendo games and machines
• Forced consumers to have multiple machines in order to play all of their games
• Created an opening for Sega and later Sony to become one of the multiple machines
• Slow to innovate – color Gameboy, cdrom games, etc.• Now, facing a battle with Microsoft as well as Sony – Sega
has given up making machines
Microsoft and XP• Office XP and Windows XP require that users activate the
program with the computer it is installed on.
• Otherwise, the program will stop operating after a few users
• Programs can not be installed on another machine
• Even when enough new peripherals are installed, program may think that it is being installed in a new computer and refuse to operate.

• UPS purchases MailBox Etc. to give itself a stronger retail presence
• FedEx decides that it must upgrade its dropoff facilities to prevent a substantial market share decline.
• Ziba – a design firm from Portland takes on the assignment of remodeling the sites
