"Think Innovation" "

"Think Coca-Cola. Think iPod. Think Nike. Think Google. Each of these names repr
esents a successful product or service but, more importantly, they are all succe
ssful brands. Most attempts to explain the role of brands focus on brands either
as management tools (managerial perspective) or as symptoms of consumerism (soc
iological perspective). In Brand Society, Martin Kornberger combines these persp
ectives to show how brands have the power to transform both the organizations th
at develop them and the lifestyles of the individuals who consume them. This hol
istic approach shows how brands function as a medium between producers and consu
mers in a way that is rapidly transforming our economy and society. Using an arr
ay of practical case studies from a diverse set of organizations, this book prov
ides a fascinating account of the way in which brands influence the lives of ind
ividuals and the organizations they work in"--Provided by publisher.
