When businesses engage in branding, they are trying to increase the value of their products beyond what the market values similar products. Many companies have successfully branded their products. Do you know why people choose Coca-Cola when there are similar sodas on grocery shelves? People trust and are familiar with the Coca-Cola name. They automatically choose Coke. This happens millions of times a day with millions of products and services worldwide. Choices are made based on the familiarity of a brand name.Brandi

Working with thousands of leaders during the past 21 years in the global economy, I have found that most of them don't have a clue. They may know to some extent how to do business on a global level. But to exert the right kind of leadership on that level eludes them; so when I first meet them, they're usually getting the wrong results or the right results in the wrong ways.Of course, there are many successful global companies and leaders, but my experiences teach that they are successful not because of but in spite o

I am not a business major by any means, but I have taken an interest in business, particularly home businesses, since I was in middle school. Even though I have had an interest in business for quite some time, I chose not to continue my college studies within the realm of business as a business major, but rather within science.
