Recent headlines in the popular press (e.g., "What's in a
Name? Less and Less," "Brands on the Run," "Private Label Nightmare," "Marlboro Friday," "The Brand Leader's Dilemma") spell out the plight of brand or product management in today's tough competitive environment.

The challenges posed by these conditions require a change in mindset as well as actions on the part of brand managers. These managers are challenged not only by the imperatives of the daily crises forced by customer and competitive market activities, but also by a need to think more strategically about the function of brand management itself.
