INTRODUCTION:
The idea of this workshop stems from two independent developments existing
in the current market scenario. Firstly, due to an increasingly cluttered brand
environment, existing businesses and their products are losing their
uniqueness forcing them to compete within a highly competitive market with
eroding profit margins. Secondly, due to the opening up of the economy, many
small businessmen and entrepreneurs are looking for establishing market
presence for their products and services. Given this scenario, the success of a
business / service / product depends heavily on the development, maintenance
and evolution of its BRAND.
