Businesses and consumers alike are increasingly confronted with contracts that allow the other side to change any of the contracts conditions at will, and allow no legal recourse other than binding arbitration. Contracts are becoming more like blank checks. The main offenders are the telecoms, software companies and credit card companies, but the practice is growing as companies put themselves above and beyond the law. Is this the end of contract law?

For any business to succeed it must know what it is about. It must be able to explain what it is there to achieve, and where it ultimately wants to end up. Unfortunately the majority of businesses can’t describe, or don’t have a picture of what they are trying to become.

There are three distinct meanings associated with the word - 'Brand.' There is the widespread use of the word used to refer to a particular product. This is the common use of the word. Then there is the use of the word to refer to certain signs, such as brand names, logos, symbols, colors and sounds that typically 'belong' to the business that markets the product. This is the formal use of the word. And then there is the use of the word to refer to the accumulating cluster of concepts around the brand signs. This is the functional use of the word. It is critical that managers who are responsible for building business are able to focus on the last one, if only to ensure the most revenues that can be earned with the least business investments.
