Abstract
Companies that want to create truly global brands must first take three steps: develop a different process for coordinating brand development, revise consumer research methodology, and clearly define the relationship between the center and the regions. Using a different approach to understanding consumers goes a long way toward facilitating agreement across markets and alignment of the brand against common consumer segments.
