網際網路的發展趨勢從一開始的搜尋引擎，到現在社群媒體(social media)的流行，顯示出人們使用網路的目的從原本單方面獲得資訊的需求，逐漸轉變成與其他人交換資訊與互動的社會需求。社群媒體的出現讓消費者能夠在網路上輕易的接觸到彼此的聲音，造成口碑(word of mouth)的出現，許多企業看準了這個機會，紛紛建立起品牌社群(brand community)，試圖讓品牌更加強大並獲得行銷上的效益。

本篇論文假設消費者加入品牌社群的原因包括對品牌的喜愛以及與其他擁有相同喜好的成員互動的社會需求，從「成員對社群的認同」以及「成員對成員的認同」等兩個角度，探討線上品牌社群中的認同與品牌忠誠度之關係；此外，對於內容越來越多元、造成品牌社群與品牌的相關程度逐漸降低的現象，本研究也探討了此現象對品牌社群的經營上的影響。

本研究的結果顯示在品牌社群中，成員間的認同跟品牌忠誠度呈現正相關，甚至比成員對社群的認同還更為重要；此外，多元化的品牌社群對於成員間認同的形成是有正面幫助的。最後，本研究也對品牌社群經營者提出了如何建立品牌社群的建議。

Building an online brand community is an important mission for business and companies who want to obtain the marketing benefit, but few of them succeed. This research examines the relationship between the identification (member-to-community and member-to-member) in online brand community and brand loyalty. In addition, we also examine the effect that brand-community identity fusion brought to online brand communities owing to the diversified non-brand related content of them. At last, we propose several advice for practitioners to build an online brand community right.
