The management of brands evolves as businesses become more global, distribution channels evolve, and consumer expectations shift.
University research plays an important role in this arena. Research can capture environmental changes and investigate the impact of brand practices (such as creating sub-brands, managing brands in teams, etc.) on the brand's value. As insights are collected, we can develop a more complete picture of how corporate and environmental actions influence the value of the brand.
