Abstract

The chapter is dedicated to the brand subject and particularly to the communication function each brand actually has. After the necessary definition the connection between branding and semiotics is set in order to point out that value and signification (e.g. differentiation and identity making) interact in the contemporary highly competitive markets. A large part of the text concerns the positioning theory and practice accompanied by figures and prominent authors perspectives and comments on the topic.
