The agenda for the session today is
the definition of key terms:
Identity, Brand, Image, and Reputation.
These key terms have often been used interchangeably.
For academic purposes, it is essential that we differentiate
between all these terms which I will do in my subsequent slides.
I would also like us to understand the difference between
Brand and Reputation because building a brand
ascertains a good reputation which is difficult to replicate or
emulate but which has high returns, tangible and intangible.
More on that a little later.
Why are we discussing corporate brand?
A good corporate brand
helps an organization to establish its presence in different markets.
For it pronounces its presence and its objective of existence.
To be able to discuss the above-mentioned points.
I will use the Case Study: Changing Perceptions and
Transforming Outcomes L&T Acquisition of Mindtree,
which is going to be followed by a conclusion.
