Brand Valuation as a Management Tool
Alex Batchelor
Brands summarise a company's value for a customer – and that perception drives profit. In a way this is common sense, but it has been statistically proved by databases such as PIMS (see Figure 1).

Hardly a startling observation but not as widely acted on as it should be, which is worrying for the delivery of long-term shareholder value.
