    As you all probably know, a while ago Yonex lost their sponsorship rights to China and Korea, losing out to Li Ning and Victor respectively. Also many sponsoring rights to various super series events on the badminton calendar. Im sure there are various reasons for this which i am not too sure about (if someone could enlighten me hehe) but from a purely marketing perspective i was wondering what effect this would have upon the brand image / loyalty of the yonex brand. I want to research how the badminton public will view this issue and how potentially damaging it can be.

    I have complied a short survey as part of my MSc dissertation for Imperial College Business School. I would be very grateful if you would be able to fill out the questionnaire. Of course all your answers will be confidential. Please feel free to add any further comments.

    Thank you for your help :)

    Hiya Vince
    Just wondering from your survey, which I just completed, are you a big badminton player? or was the dissertation title set and you researched it?
