The book explores responsibility in the context of brands: why do some brands behave ethically and others not? Why do some brands engage their employees and others manipulate them? Based on contemporary research and using international case studies, the contributors cover: new ways to measure value; the responsible use of power; leadership and how it can balance ethics, reality and vision; authenticity; the role of NGOs; engaging consumers in ethical issues; and the business benefits of "open" branding.

A "call to arms" for business
21 Jan 2004
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
In recent years, much has been made about the faults of the branding business. Most has spawned from a misunderstanding of the discipline or the misuse of the term. The authors, all of whom are long-time experts in the field and members of the Medinge branding think-tank, realize this; and rather than addressing the definition of the term (that is better done in a more rudimentary text), they have taken a higher ground by showing the possibilities of branding for the good of humanity.
In effect, Beyond Branding brings together knowledge of the world's leading branding authorities - and their most pressing issues - in one volume.
It is a "call to arms" for branding and business in general: the authors argue that the changes can take place immediately in any organization, beginning with the individual. To help their mission, there is a web site at www.beyond-branding.com, which features a regularly updated blog, which serves as both an appendix to the book and a way to interact with readers to effect their changes.
