Why is it important?

This study discerns the degree of mind-sharing of various managers of a large-scale organisation in regards to their perception of the organisational brand. The results show that the respondents initially appeared to hold similar perceptions of the organisation, but that the organisational brand perception would soon become fragmented, leading to the failure of the respondents to full identify with the organisation.

Perspectives

The study's implication is for branding to account more for social and individual motivations and less for instrumental motivations, e.g. mission statements.
