求。 有別於其他業者，Abercrombie & Fitch (以下簡稱A&F)的目標客群鎖定「18歲到22歲，外貌與身材出眾的白人」，也堅持不賣大尺碼的衣服。商品定位在「休閒奢華」的運動服飾。此外，其廣告模特兒甚至店員全都是外貌出眾的年輕男女，一方面雖然成功的建立獨特的品牌文化，卻也招來許多批評和糾紛，其中包括種族歧視和員工待遇等問題，同為美國服飾品牌的Tommy Hilfiger就曾因為歧視華人而吃上官司，而2005年以前的蘋果也是強調市場區隔的經典個案。 但近年來，A&F積極在美國以外的地方開拓市場，甚至在亞洲開設分店。原先的品牌定位和市場區隔，似乎有了新的定位。而轉變背後的原因和過程以及未來的市場策略，包括消費者心態對於商品定位的影響等，成了我們主要研究的動機和方向。 二、公司簡介 A&F，美國休閒第一大牌，是當今年輕人最青睐的品牌，也是風靡美國大學生的品牌之一。1892年創立于美國紐約的A&F，已是美國本土的百年品牌，目前旗下共有Abercrombie & Fitch、Abercrombie Kids、Hollister、Gilly
