The results show three general forms of brand extension associated with the parent brand, namely brand extension with the corporate, mass organization, and education center parent brands. The authors conclude that the degree form of brand extension with parent brands from mass organizations is more dominant than parent brands from corporates and education centers in the higher education industry in Indonesia. The socio-economic characteristics of Indonesia have a decisive effect on the choice of the extended brand of mass organizations.
