Brand Equity

One Behavior: BUY
But good products are not enough -- e.g. Nike

5. When Corporate Reputation Is Important
Companies need to think about corporate reputation all the time, but especially when:
Corporate performance is not strong
Media coverage is increasing and not favorable
There is substantial merger and acquisition activity
There is management instability
Industry issues become the focus of political rhetoric – doubly so in election years
