>>Message from the Previous Chair - August 2009
The global financial crisis has caused several business failures, including some companies with brands that were once household names in the West. Many of these brands are now available for purchase and represent a significant investment opportunity for China.
China can leapfrog over traditional Western companies by purchasing and restoring these brands' credibility, which can help establish a stronger beachhead among elite multinational enterprises. As the world's leading strategy consulting and brand advisory institution, World Brand Lab provides world-class, objective brand monitoring to assist our clients in making the right decisions.
