چکیده
این پژوهش با هدف ارائۀ الگویی مناسب برای توسعۀ ارزش ویژۀ برند لیگ برتر فوتبال ایران انجام گرفت. تحقیق حاضر از نظر هدف، تحقیق اکتشافی و از حیث جهت‌گیری تحقیقی بنیادین است که از استراتژی نظریه‌سازی داده‌بنیاد با رویکرد کلاسیک (ظاهرشونده) استفاده کرده است. برای گردآوری داده‌های پژوهش از 24 مصاحبۀ عمیق و ساختارنیافته با نمونۀ تحقیق (21 نفر از مدیران اجرایی، صاحب‌نظران و محققان عرصۀ فوتبال، بازاریابی و برندسازی) استفاده شد. مشارکت‌کنندگان پژوهش به‌صورت نظری، در طول فرایند پژوهش با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری قضاوتی و هدفمند و تا رسیدن به اشباع نظری انتخاب شدند. تحلیل داده‌های حاصل از مصاحبه‌ها و سایر منابع، طی سه مرحلۀ کدگذاری باز، انتخابی و نظری انجام گرفت. در نهایت مدل نهایی تحقیق به‌صورت مدل سه‌بخشی شامل نهادها، پیش‌نیازها و فرایند تخصصی برندسازی لیگ درآمد. براساس نتایج پژوهش، مادامی که پیش‌نیازهای کلان و ساختاری محقق نشود، برندسازی لیگ برتر فوتبال ثمربخش نخواهد بود. تعامل و تأثیر متقابل نهادهای حاکمیتی، رسانه‌ها و نهادهای فوتبالی، میزان تحقق این پیش‌نیازها را تعیین خواهد کرد که در این میان، نقش نهادهای حاکمیتی بسیار پررنگ است. ازاین‌رو، سازمان لیگ فوتبال ایران پیش و بیش از تمرکز بر فعالیت‌های ویژۀ برندسازی لیگ، باید به‌شدت به‌دنبال تحقق این پیش‌نیازها باشد.

چکیده [English]
The purpose of this study was to provide an appropriate model for developing the brand equity of the Iranian Football League. Given this purpose, the present research is an exploratory inquiry into the orientation of a fundamental research that uses the strategy of the grounded theory with a classical (emergent) approach. To collect data, 24 in-depth interviews with participants of research conducted. Participants were selected theoretically through a judicious and targeted sampling method. Analysis of data was conducted during three stages of open, selective and theoretical coding. Ultimately the final model of research formed as a triplex model, including institutions, prerequisites and the specialty of branding the league. According to the results of the research, as long as there are major and structural prerequisites, the branding of the Premier League will not be fruitful; The interaction and interaction between the sovereign institutions, the media and the football institutions will determine the extent to which these requirements are met, among which the role of sovereign institutions is very high. Therefore, the organization of the Iranian Football League has been looking to facilitate and fulfill these requirements, in addition to focusing on the branding activities of the league, along with other football institutions, especially the Football Federation. Also, it is imperative for the league organization to prioritize objectives and determine the desirable position for the brand, and to follow a principled and scientific process in branding activities in order to benefit from the desired outcomes of a credible brand.
